No but, honestly, imagine your buddy pulling you over to show you something on their phone and what they wanted to show you is the fact that your long-term situationship whom you're definitely in love with is dating like 2013 era Jennifer Lawrence and actually, no one knows you two were ever anything so you definitely can't have the public meltdown you can feel yourself teetering on the edge of.

so MY personal headcanon is that shane and ilya actually didn't say each other's names at all during the tampa hotel room hook up because that last little "goodnight shane" as shane is leaving is in fact the first time ilya has been able to muster the courage to say it again since the last time...and the way he says it...the way his tone makes it sound like a test. "will you run this time? will you get scared again? shane? goodnight shane." and shane just smiles and blushes, and so confidently before he leaves, gives him back a "goodnight ilya" with that little nod that just says not this time. i'm not running this time. i'm not running ever again. goodnight ilya.

shane knew ilya would make fun of him for the stylist thing. that was an olive branch. shane knew ilya wouldn't be able to resist such a perfect set up and he's right! this is coming off the back of ilya's very loaded "maybe it will give us a chance to get to know each other." and it just reads to me as shane going, "but we do! here is this dumb thing i've done and i'm giving you leave to make fun of me because i've missed you. i'm being boring! make fun of me, please"

something that can be so personal

shane’s dildo is doing so much off-screen heavy lifting. somewhere between getting his first cock in his mouth and being made captain of his first all-stars team, shane saw anal sex in his future and subsequently determined he’s a bottom. what was the thought process behind his dildo selection. was he drawn to the realism of the fleshy models, or was it easier to pretend it was just about getting penetrated and not who was doing the penetration with a more abstract silhouette? if he went with something statistically average, did that imply he was trying to approximate being with another guy? if he went with something slightly larger, did that imply he was trying to approximate being with ilya? the act of buying the dildo alone has made shane grapple with his sexuality, to say nothing of what he does with it.

🚨 DEADLINE: In addition to Russian and ice skating lessons, Connor Storrie also enrolled in an intensive 10-week drinking-sensually-out-of-bottles course to prepare for his role as Ilya Rozanov. Jacob Tierney said, "No, we didn't reimburse him. We didn't ask him to do that. I don't know why he did that."

Shane putting on a suit for his first hookup with Ilya is a cute representation of his inexperience.

Shane deciding against it and taking it off is because it would have worked.

If Ilya had walked in and seen that Shane put on a suit just for him he would have bluescreened so hard he might have proposed to him right then and there. You think Ilya was falling a little in love when he was watching Shane fold his joggers? Imagine him having to sit through watching Shane fold an entire suit and tie.
