AU game- I know Shane and Cady are bros in ur fic but im lowkey very interested in how you would write them hooking up and Regina losing her shit about it
For this ask game!!
I've got to admit, this one is tough! I've had many Shady delusions over the last couple months, but I can't see them hooking up in GIL.
Outside of GIL, though...
I'm also having constant and pervasive Shadina delusions, if anyone is curious about those🌝 (to my discord besties... I'm so sorry you have to listen to me talk about them ad nauseam lmao).
Okay, enough chit-chat! Here's my best shot at Shady:
GIL Shady AU
It starts innocently enough, just the two of them working out together. Regina's been a little mean to both of them lately, and Cady's not used to it. She's been all sad-puppy eyes. Shane asks her to help him with his stride, just to get her out of the house, if nothing else.
Shane notices how gorgeous Cady is, because of course he does. How could he not? And she's so short, at least a foot shorter than him, and so easy to pick up and spin around. She appreciates things about him that Regina never has, like his unfailingly positive attitude and his iPhone notes list and his giant biceps.
Alcohol is never a good idea when you're in turmoil. When you've just dumped your public boyfriend for your secret girlfriend who doesn't seem to even want you? It's an extra bad idea. Cady's hammered, and Shane is there. He catches her when she stumbles and he carries her to the car and into her house when she can't walk in herself. Regina waits in the car, too afraid of someone seeing her being so close to Cady. Shane kisses Cady's head when he lays her on her bed, and Cady thinks about it the entire weekend.
After a really hard conversation with Regina, Cady storms off and kisses Shane. Right in front of Regina and everyone else, just to piss Regina off. She expects Shane to push her away, but he doesn't. Not for three seconds, five, ten. They get all the way to twelve before Shane gentle pushes her back, leaving his hands on her waist. He can see the regret on Cady's face when he opens his eyes, and when he looks up, he sees the hurt on Regina's. She's clearly furious, but it's more than that. He's never seen Regina look like this before.
Shane feels used, and he doesn't like it. A couple weeks later, he catches Cady, now banished from the plastics table, looking at him softly, and he wonders. Regina grabs her chin between his fingers, acrylic nails poking too hard into the side of his face. Her head turns to wear Shane was just looking, and she makes sure Cady sees the way Regina shoves her tongue into Shane's mouth when she kisses him.
Okay, maybe not exactly what you had in mind, but I just can't see GIL Cady going further with Shane than a jealous kiss—even if she does think he's kind of beautiful. I hope you enjoyed it anyway!!
Also... still thinking about Shadina... just sayingggggggg...🌝
Thanks so much for the ask!!
