[open And we keep waiting to be seen, right?
who: Illya Kuryakin & you
what: just a general catch-all
when: End of April and beginning of May
where: around the city shopping, gym
warnings: will add if needed

Illya doesn’t get out much.
It’s not being in a strange place, in a strange world full of strange people with futuristic technology. Or… rather, even though he has to admit that’s kind of getting under the skin, it’s not just that. He’s just used to keeping to himself, to doing things on his own and only relying on his boss to give him his orders and trust Illya will know what to do.
In here it’s different. In here he doesn’t have to hide, doesn’t have to keep in the shadows and become a shadow himself. In here he can get out and try to be a normal person. Or at least do his best to look like one, since the most people know about him is a fake name and his claims that he was a rowboat champion before he ended up in this place.
So there’s probably something… calming, in just doing normal things. Grocery shopping, checking out nearby libraries, just stopping at a park and watching the animals go by. It may seem boring to most people, but to Illya is kind of refreshing to be able to do all of this without a weight on his shoulders. He figures it will get boring eventually, but for now he enjoys his newfound freedom.
Enjoying it so much he doesn’t even notice the orange firefly circling him.

It does get boring eventually, even with all the shenanigans going around.
Illya is used to physical exertion, to being active and working out as much as he can, as much as he’s healthy. Back home he needed his body to be in peak condition, to be able to fulfill every mission as fast as efficiently as possible. Most of them ended up with him running away or towards something, after all. But in here his job, while more interesting than what he had assumed when it had been assigned to him, doesn’t require much more than a inquisitive mind and knowing where to look, what questions to ask.
He really misses the exertion. So after asking around and getting some advice he’s finally decided to join a nearby gym.
He can be seen running himself ragged on the treadmill, doing weights or basically using every single machine he can find his hands on. Yay technology. Obviously not all on the same day, he’s stubborn but not suicidal… but someone should probably tell him to slow down.

Now that all of it seems to be done, now that they have shared as much as it’s possible to share without basically breaking each other it’s honestly hard to believe it’s all over now. That he is going to be back to being Alexei once he steps out of the elevator. It was refreshing to be himself for a little bit, but it was also frankly terrifying so as much as he enjoyed the thrill of it he can’t say he would do it all over again.
But at the same time he can’t say he regrets it.
“I’ll see you around?” He says as he stands up, already heading for the door. He’s not quite running away, but it’s definitely clear e needs some space right now.

Still, can't change it. Could have been so much worse.
So it won't be forever, because she knows the kind of help he needs, knows the crossroads he's at. She can help there, and if nothing else good comes of this, there's that. When the doors open on his floor, she stops him with a hand on his wrist. "Thank you." For being himself, for being someone she can stomach having this kind of connection with.
