    Summary

    "See? I just knew it," Hans says, poking Henry's chest. "I knew you’d be too damn hairy. Look at all this. You're practically a barbarian."

    Henry's snort is fond when it leaves his lungs, more exhale than sound. "You're hairy too," he offers graciously, flicking his eyes down a pale chest. His memory conjures up images of blond tufts—darkened with water, clustered beneath a navel, peeking coyly from under an armpit—before he banishes them. "It's just hard to see on your arms and legs, cause your hair is so fine. It makes your skin look soft," he adds, crazily, airing a thought that should have been kept barred and bolted.

    "Do you think about my skin often, blacksmith's boy?"

    "No." Henry is distracted; Hans's finger is twisting around his chest hair, an entirely new sensation for Henry's body. His spine tingles. "Maybe. I dunno."

    Hans keeps insisting that Henry share his bed. A very normal and platonic thing to do.

    Summary

    “You don’t say please. You don’t.”

    “Please,” he says again, and drags out each letter, and Henry should oblige, but his own body is pliant in Hans’s presence, like water, or clay.

     

    Strange, flipped, subverted, this hesitation. Outside of this room, Henry has no hesitation when it comes to Hans. Out there in the world, his golden pourpoint covers the marks Henry leaves on him, hiding these blemishes against his unquestionable authority. Inside, naked, nowhere to hide. Uneasy equals. And one always trying to capitulate to the other.

    Summary

    “Do you remember what you told me before that battle?”

    Henry’s eyes search his. Hans knows that he knows although he says, “Remind me.”

    “You told me that courage in the face of fear is a knightly virtue,” Hans says, kicking at a loose pebble at his feet. It skitters between them, settling just shy of Henry’s boots. “And that being brave is something that you have to learn.”

    Henry kicks the stone back. “Are you afraid now?”

     

    Opportunities present themselves at the siege of Suchdol, and love makes Hans brave.
