David gets diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months before Shane turns forty.
“It’s nothing for you to worry about,” he says, right before he drops the news. Family dinner: pasta with vodka sauce, roasted broccoli, a tower of garlic bread stacked just as high as ever, even though Ilya, retired now, no longer has the appetite he once had. Usually, he still manages to put most of it away, even if it means he ends up groaning on the coach afterwards, begging Shane to rub his belly. Shane rolls his eyes, but he always does it, if only for the happy little sighs Ilya makes, like a fat house cat.

Or: there's a cancer diagnosis, then a cancer scare, and Shane contemplates retirement.

Shane is nineteen and straight in a dick-loving way (obviously), until Ilya finds a gift on his left nut... leading him to lose a ball, and in turn, gain an Ilya so much earlier in life. Be warned, this is tough subject matter delivered with the utmost respect... but also a hell of a lot of humor and laughs.
Come for a ride and see where life could have taken Shane and Ilya if they had figured their shit out at nineteen, and not twenty-six, with a supportive cast of characters and teammates. It will make you laugh, and cry... and get a little gooey.
PS: Check your balls if you've got 'em
David had refused to let Ilya take an Uber back to the hotel, so now Ilya was trapped in a small SUV, with his blowjob-buddy’s dad, after not only revealing to the poor guy that his son had an appreciation for Russian cock, but also that his balls were all kinds of fucked up. What a Tuesday.
“He’s going to undersell what’s happening to him.” David said finally, glancing at Ilya. “You’ve seen them, obviously, right?”
Yes, David Hollander. I’ve fondled your son’s balls and swallowed his cum like it was champagne. “Yes.” Ilya said instead.

After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain. As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with. A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.
