Summary

Shane: omg how did you know im on pain meds? u know everything!
Shane: like how I’m gay
Rose: Shane, don’t tell people you’re gay right now, okay?
Shane: I know I know
Shane: he said shhhh
Shane: he is so cute
Shane: he held my hand :)

Or: A look into Shane's texts while high on pain meds.

Notes

I usually make my fics more book compliant but this one is fully just a fic of episode 5 so no book knowledge required!

However, suspension of disbelief IS required because Shane being on his phone like this while concussed would be horrible. Don't do that if you find yourself concussed! I just wrote Shane sending drunk texts for my Christmas fic "where the lovelight gleams" and I had so much fun with it that this also appeared lmao

Silly goofy title from Go Go Juice by Sabrina Carpenter

End Notes

When Shane sobers up, he's very embarrassed by the texts. Ilya rereads them all the time.

I'm uploading this Christmas 2025 so have a safe holiday season and SEE YOU AT THE COTTAGE BABYYY

Thank you for reading! Comments are appreciated as much as Ilya would appreciate Shane taking a damn nap
