hayden pike and cliff marlow and yuna and everyone under the sun individually telling shane how whipped ilya is for him when shane doesn’t realise.
one day hayden corner’s shane in his kitchen when him and ilya are over for dinner and ilya is distracted with the pike entourage of children and he’s like “dude rozanov is so obsessed with you it’s weird” and shane is all like “what are you talking about” and hayden exasperatingly explaining how ilya was texting jackie the night before making sure the food for dinner was macrobiotic diet friendly and that they had ginger ale on hand for shane and shane shrugs like what’s the matter with that and jackie comes into the kitchen after eavesdropping like “i think it’s sweet that his man wants him to be comfortable wherever they go” and hayden huffs and takes offense like apparently he isn’t doing that for jackie.
and then one day cliff marlow texts shane which is weird in of itself bc he never texts shane and is like “hollzy let go of roz’s leash for one night please” and shane is like what are you talking about and cliff responds “roz just dropped us to go home to you! we’re here one night only!” and shane is like “and?” and cliff just responds with the “🤦🏼♂️” emoji but shane doesn’t get it.
yuna pulls shane aside when they’re all having dinner at her house and goes “honey, I love you, and i want you to be comfortable obviously, but if you’re cold put a jacket on or im going to tie Ilya’s hands up if he keeps touching my thermostat.” And shane is like wait what and yuna just rolls her eyes and is like “how are you so oblivious, my god shane. he’s so whipped for you he keeps adjusting the temperature so it’s what you have it locked to at home. he’s obsessed with you being comfortable.” and shane will scrunch up his nose like “that’s a normal thing to do.” and yuna will shake her head and say “no baby that is something you do for someone who you love more than anything in the world”.
and then over the next week shane really tries to pay attention to all the little things ilya does for him that he didn’t even realise. like make sure there’s no tiny bits of food scraps in the kitchen sink bc shane haaaaates that and makes sure that the blinds are pulled by exactly 8pm when the sun starts to hit a mirror and makes the room too bright for shane and making sure shane’s favourite mug is always clean and dry for him each morning. shane doesn’t know what to do with being so so so loved by someone so so sweet.
