Summary:

Shane placed a hand over Ilya’s cheek, lightly pushing his face away. “I need to, um—I need to ask you something. Well, not need, but I wanted to ask you something.” Though Ilya’s eyes avoided his, his gaze set on Shane’s wallpaper in the back, he nodded. “Go ahead.” “Would you…” He started, letting his voice trail off as he searched for the words. He wished Ilya would just look at him, but it wasn’t as if he was doing any better in the eye contact aspect. “Would you want to… come to the cottage? With me?” aka cottage scene if shane was never injured
