#rareshaneweek

[rarebuzzships]

it doesn’t get any better than this. lazy sunday afternoon with your cat, a nice box of pencils, your girlfriend’s feet in your lap - and you tickle her when she reaches a tough level in her game, and she screams and almost kicks you, but you kiss her knee and she looks at you like love was invented just for the two of you

Untitled #2

“Gosh...” Ned murmured, his hand moved to his cheek to give emphasis to his expression. “He’s adorable, isn't he?”

Keith looked at his friend for a second, then back at the screen where the phootage he had been working on almost all week was frozen on the image of one sleepy and shy looking Shane Madej. 

He blinked a couple of times, a small smile following his thoughts as he remembered Shane following behind him while Henry told him what he needed to record for the video. The man had looked a bit lost when Henry chose him to go with them, but had nodded with enthusiasm once the small shock was gone.

“He’s a good little helper.” Keith said, Ned giggled at his side like if he knew some secret. “What?”

“Cut the crap, I know why you and Henry chose him to help.” The man answered, standing with his cup and Keith’s. “I’m straight but not stupid.”

“Okay,” Keith smiled, signaling him with a big smile. “That’s an argument, we should bring Ashly and Eugene in here, and decide!”

“Unfair!” He announced, walking away from Keith’s desk, probably into the office’s kitchenette.

Keith sighed, looking back at his work and starting to video again. He had been at this all morning, mostly bored than stuck with the same phootage, there was something not working out in this.

In the video, he asked Shane to have some of what they had been eating with the driver in turn. The man looks up at him and, for one second, his cheeks turn pink. It’s perfectly fine, but it’s also so cute. Would Henry mind if he left it? Probably nobody else would realize anyway, so...

Why he wanted it in, Keith wasn’t sure.

“Here.” He heard a different voice at his side and his cup appeared with coffee at his side. “Fulmer said you he had something to do, so he asked me to bring you this.”

Looking up, Cute Intern Of The Month stood in all his happy awkwardness. Keith smiled at him and the title Zach had given him and many other interns before, but for the first time, it just happened to be true.

Shane looked back, waiting for him to say anything else. His hair had been getting longer, looking softer than ever while his beard still looked like if God herself had decided to put it in there. Nice.

“Thanks, buddy.” Keith answered at least, patting the seat at his side. “Here, come on-- I’m suffering with this.”

“What is it?” 

The man sat down, moving the chair closer to Keith and the screen. 

“Oh, it’s what we filmed the other day, right?” He said, Keith only nodded. “Is there a problem with the phootage?”

The way he sounded concerned made his heart hurt a little. Keith remembered when he had been an intern, having moved from the place he grow up in and called home, unsure and wanting to do his best. It was no different for this guy, so he shook his head and explained himself.

Shane listened, suggesting the standard procedure for when you are blocked at work. Normally, that would be enough and it would help just perfectly. But these were special circumstances, he had said after asking Shane to have lunch with him. The man said yes, it was special circumstanes indeed.

He’s adorable!, Ned wasn’t wrong. He had also not been wrong when he guessed why Henry had incisted in having Shane with them, and why Keith had accepted the second he saw the guy enter the room and smile at them.

The problem with the video is that they have a lot of Shane in it. His takes are good, the guy made sure to film him and Henry exactly how they had thought him, and he had a good eye for little moments that could be transformed into something more with good editing.

But they had-- they had filmed so much of him, too. And Keith wanted to keep it all in the video. The guy gave it something else that was lacking in everything they showed before. He looked at the camera like if he knew everyone wanted to see him and it made him shy, his cheeks turned pink and red with every smile and when the attention was focused on him.

Yeah, Ned was right. Adorable.

“What you could do is delete some of the takes of us, use more of the food phootage” The man suggested, Keith looked at him for a moment.

Even his profile was nice. He had a unique nose and a good jaw, his kips were small and tin but-- Jesus. Pink. Looked soft. And he was acting like a highschooler all over again, fanning over the new boy in class. Fuck.

“Sure, I guess.” He said, sighing. He could feel Shane’s eyes on him for a few seconds, then the man went back to his food. Keith knew perfectly what he needed to take off, but-- “You wouldn’t mind not appearing much in the video, right?”

Shane shook his head, a frown between his eyebrows. “No. Why?” 

“Uh, nothing. You are still getting credited, though.”

He smiled again. And oh yeah, whatever. So he had a crush on an intern. Big deal.

This is Henry. And this is me, Keith. And over here, the beautiful Shane.

“Gosh.” Jen laughed on Ryan’s shoulder, the man had stopped the video to let them laugh and Shane felt his ears warmth at the scene in front of him. “He is sooooo crushing on you!”

Shane closed his eyes, trying not to think of happy eyes and loud laughs. His hands covered his face and he muffled a frustrated scream in them, his new friends laughing their asses off in Ryan’s desk.

“Oh boy, at least he’s nice about it and not asking you to do shit for him.” Ryan said. “I once had this boss while in--”

His friend’s conversation was lost to him as Shane sighed and tried to think straight. Not like if that has ever prevent him from liking dick, but he didn’t need yet another frustration while getting used to his job. Man, he wanted to stay here.

People were great, things were going better than how fucking shitty everything had been back home. This was the start he had hoped, but...

“Oh shit.” Ryan said in front of him. “Are you okay, dude?”

Shane looked up, swallowing while trying to smile. When it didn’t came, Ryan did for him and moved his head to one side. 

“Look, we love fucking with you, but I’m sure it will be fine.”

“No, I know.” Shane said, licking his lips before realizing Jen had went back to her own desk. Shane blinked a couple of times. “It’s just, like...” He swallowed. “I, I don’t know.”

Ryan watched his for what felt like a long time, crossing his arms over the table and putting his head there, looking up at him. If he was searching for something, Shane wondered what could it be. Did he had said something too weird? To risky? Uh--

“So you like him, too.” Ryan smiled the same way Scott would back home.

A shiver went up Shane’s back and he just-- “N-no, what make you think that?”

“You just blushed!” Ryan said, “Look,” Ryan sat down straight again, he had that older brother look on him again and it made Shane frown. “It’s gonna be fine. You have nothing to worry about because, let’s be honest, Keith’s a good guy... and so are you, so--”

“So?”

“So, just chill.” Ryan shrugged. “Nothing is happening anyway. Do you have any idea how many crushes I have had? And nothing ever has to happen.” 

He kinda had a point, but, “I’m not sure if I can be comfortable like this.”

“Oh, you can.” Ryan assured. “You were okay until we told you this.” The man finished, sounding smooth and satisfied with himself.

Shane glared at him before sighing and trying to get back to the last bits he needed to edit of Henry and Keith’s video, even when he had Keith’s intro in the back of his head, repeating over and over, “beautiful Shane”.

Jesus fuck. He needed to chil--

“Shane!” 

He looked up, heart beating faster as he found Keith at his side, the happiest of the smiles on his face.

“It’s lunch time, have you eat anything yet?”

“Uh,” He looked at Ryan from the corner of his eyes, the man was drawing a heart in the air and holy shit-- Shane was so gonna kill him. “I mean-- sure. I haven’t finishe yet, but--”

“Aaah, leave it!” He shrugged. “You can do it after lunch, come on. Come onnn, there’s a place I wanna show you!”

“Well-- okay.”

Lunch has never hurt anbody, so why not? Shane smiled at the man, slightly jumping when he gasped and put his hands on his cheeks, cradling his face while looking at him.

“Look at you, all smiley!” He said, his thumbs caressed his bearded cheeks and oh. Oh. “Never stop smiling, buddy. It’s your best look.”

Keith liked him. Jen and Ryan were right. 

“Oh,” Shane moved his head, his left cheek leaning against Keith’s hand, and he smiled again. “I’ll try to keep it going, sir.”

Ran snorted on his coffee, but all Shane could concentrate now was Keith’s surprised face. It was just an unspoken thing their eyes concluded in the seconds it took him to take his hands away slowly and Shane to relax completely.

He wonered if the change was too much, if he’d like him even like this. Shane just couldn’t help him.

“Spicey guy.” Keith laughed, putting a hand on Shane’s shoulder. “I like that! Let’s go.”

So they went.

everybody loves Shane Madej!

<small>for @rarebuzzships‘s Shane week, last day.</small>

[currypuff]

@rarebuzzships‘s rare shane week:  road trip au + limadej

The road stretches out in front of them; the last glimmers of the sunset still glancing off the hood of their shitty SUV, the best they could afford with the lackluster budget they’d gotten from Financial. 

We Drive 2,790 miles from Los Angeles to New York.

It made sense for Steven to be on the trip, living in New York and having a string of successful videos recently. But it should have been Andrew or Adam in the passenger seat, Shane grimly acknowledges. A spin-off of Worth It maybe, or even an addition to the series, like Eugene’s 50 drinks per state video.

He doesn’t quite know what had possessed him to volunteer to accompany Steven in the pitch meeting. He remembers with embarrassing vividness the look of surprise on Andrew’s face, Ryan’s knowing little smile. 

Steven’s eyes, wide, but not with shock or dread. Something else. He tries not to think about what the little glances Steven keeps sneaking in his direction mean as they rattle down a particularly wrecked road in the middle of Nevada. 

He tries not to think at all. That’s his strategy to surviving the trip.

Title: it was only a kiss

Author: poiregourmande

Pairings: Ryan/Sara/Shane; Sara/Shane

Rating: Mature

Synopsis: Ryan would very much like to be able to live his best bi life but the thing is, his roommate keeps bringing his girlfriend over to have loud sex. (But Ryan doesn't have a crush.)

aka, the Mr. Brightside fic

Words: 739

fill for @rarebuzzships Shane Week’s poly day!!

Life’s been good since Ryan came out as bi. People have been supportive. He’s never felt more free to date. Really, he’s been doing just fine. There’s only one little thing. It’s probably unrelated, but ever since then, Sara’s been spending way more time at Shane and his place. Don’t get him wrong, he loves her to bits, and having her around is a blast, but before that, they used to fool around at her place – or so Ryan supposed, because all of a sudden he started hearing them.

Pairing: Adam/Andrew/Shane, Adam/Andrew/Steven (implied)

Rating: Explicit

Summary: Shane accidentally walked in on Adam and Andrew getting Extremely acquainted over the weekend, and it’s been ruining his life ever since. (Written for Shane Week on @rarebuzzships!)

It’s Friday morning, making it almost a full week now since Shane’s well and truly lost all control of both his mind and his dick.

He likes to think he’s a reasonable dude! It’s basically his entire persona on Unsolved, after all, and that persona didn’t come out of thin air, so he can’t for the life of him figure out why it’s all crumbling now—just because he had to catch two of his coworkers engaging in some perfectly normal extracurricular necking at a casual get-together last Saturday.

What Adam and Andrew get up to while off the clock is really none of Shane’s business. He’s definitely not judging. If you ask him, they look great together, in fact. Like, super great. He’s secure enough with his identity to admit that seeing, say, Andrew’s jeans wrinkle just under his ass as he rhythmically presses against Adam’s thigh, the soft whine that escapes Adam’s teeth as he drags them around the shell of Andrew’s ear and tangles his fingers in Andrew’s hair, is aesthetically impressive to say the least. So good for them, having a great time and looking great while doing it. Shane only wishes he hadn’t accidentally interrupted their private moment out on the apartment’s balcony. For their sake, mostly.
