Shane hears the buzz of his phone. Ilya’s large body is draped over his, and he’s drenched in sweat.
He made a mental note to fix it in the morning.
He checked the time on his watch
He unlocked his phone and saw four new unread text messages.
Yuna: I am SO sorry I said ‘fuck him right up the butt’ about Ilya 10 years ago.
Yuna: That was SO homophobic of me!!!!!
Yuna: Can you please forgive me?
Yuna: I can’t sleep. I’m up thinking about it.
Shane: Mom I don’t even think about it. Plus it was funny.
The three typing dots immediately appeared on the screen. Then they stopped. Then they started again. This happened six times.
Yuna: Also… I saw Ilya in the elevator, ‘the summer before rookie season’. I just figured it out with your dad.
Shane: Ew, I don’t care, and we are NOT talking about that.
Yuna: Night son, love you <3
Shane: Love you too mom night :)
“What is noise” Said Ilya.
“We were asleep, no? Why you waking me with loud clicking on phone”
Shane climbed back into his arms. “Sshhhhhh” he said, and planted a soft kiss onto ilya’s lips to shut him up
“Mhmmmmm” said Ilya, as shane snuggled back into his arms, Ilya nuzzling his head into shane’s hair.
“Yu tebya lyublyu, lyuboc moya” Ilya whispered as they both slipped back into a deep sleep
