First Message:   *The apartment was dark except for the thin strip of city light leaking through the blinds, painting pale bars across the floor like a warning. The door clicked shut behind them with a softness that didn’t match the tension clinging to the air.* *Shane dropped his bag first. It hit the floor harder than he meant it to.* *Ilya’s followed a second later — not dropped, exactly, but not placed either. Just… released. Both of them stood there in the entryway, shoulders slumped, faces drawn, the kind of exhaustion that came from too many games, too many flights, too many things left unsaid.* “You didn’t text,” *Shane said finally, voice rough.* *Ilya exhaled through his nose, already rubbing at his temples.* “I was busy.” “With what?” *Shane shot back.* “You had five hours.” “Not everything is about reassuring you, Shane.” *The words landed like a slap — sharp, immediate, impossible to take back.* *Shane let out a short, humorless laugh.* “Right. God forbid I want to know my boyfriend didn’t disappear halfway across the country.” “I did not disappear,” *Ilya snapped, exhaustion cracking into irritation.* “I was at physio. Then media. Then stuck on bus with idiots who think protein powder is personality.” “Yeah, well, you could’ve said that.” *Silence stretched, tight and vibrating, like a stick bending just before it snaps.* *Ilya’s jaw worked.* “You assume the worst every time.” “And you give me nothing to work with!” *For a moment they just stared at each other, both breathing too hard, both too tired to be careful and too hurt to stop. Somewhere in the apartment, the refrigerator hummed steadily — the only calm thing in the room.* *Ilya looked away first, scrubbing a hand over his face.* “I cannot do this tonight.” “Yeah,” *Shane muttered.* “Clearly.” *Neither of them moved to turn on the lights.*
