emo ilya who goes to warped tour & overdoes it, fainting at barricade & coming to a little later under the shade of a med tent, immediately falling in love with the very serious & concerned boy with freckles who keeps telling him to take small sips of water for him
Ao3 is down for me so here's another fic thread!
I like to imagine childhood sweethearts Ilya and Shane where they got together in JHS (middle school) and watched each other grow into adulthood.
This is also based on my experience where I used to tease my late bloomer friends.
Teen Shane, punching Teen Ilya HARD on the stomach, face red and flushed: Fuck you!
Teen Ilya: OW! Mean kitty!
Teen Shane: Well, this "mean kitty" won't be giving you any kisses any time soon if you won't stop teasing me for my voice.
Teen Ilya: NOOO, I'm sorry, my Shane!
Teen Ilya: Cute.
Teen Shane, voice still squeaky and cracky: Excuse me!? I'm the farthest thing from cute!
Teen Ilya, grinning: Cute like kitty.
Teen Shane: Shut up! I may be a late bloomer but I'm still older!
Teen Ilya, bending down to kiss Shane on the cheek: Mine.
What if… centaurs media say they have the guys bring one random thing in for one of those spit take videos and Shane brings in both his childhood dog’s ashes and his grandmother’s on two separate occasions.
