Does Shane runaway in fear? Does Ilya fight for them? Are they a united front? WHO KNOWS!

I'm still mulling this one over in my mind but I kind of like it...

Thus begins their situationship

They fall in love

Ilya wants to be with Shane, openly, but Shane is on the fence about coming out

Then a paparazzo catches them, leaks the images, and Ilya and Shane have to decide what they're going to do.

They see each other at award shows - Ilya likes to engage in playful banter, Shane rolls his eyes a lot

Ilya makes an appearance as the DJ at a gay club, Shane is there, Ilya somehow finds out, they dance together, go back to one of their hotel rooms, and hook up

Rose is still a movie star and Shane's bff/beard

Ilya and Shane dislike each other - partly out of competition and partly because of how they see one another

Ilya: he sold his soul for a record deal to sell to the masses. There's no substance there

Shane: are DJs even true musicians?

Ilya has sampled some of Sveta's music, he's sung on some of her tracks, and has done some of the mixing for her

Shane is your standard pop star a la Harry Styles or Shawn Mendes - he sings well, he can play several instruments (guitar, piano) - he's closeted

Ilya does the occasional collab with Svetlana - stage name Matryoshka Doll but usually just goes by Doll - who is aggressively progressive - her music is a mix of electronica and screamo/metal

Ilya is a popular DJ/EDM artist - his stage name is ROZ - stereotypical party boy persona but he's incredibly progressive and outspoken about it - he's out as bisexual (it's part of his brand) - Ilya can sing very well but chooses not to (unless Sveta asks)
