    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

    After the noose, something changes.

    “Jesus,” Hans says, incredulity finally snapping his control in two, “what has gotten into you?”

    Henry’s head jerks back. “What?”

    “You!” Hans says, waving his hands as if to encompass all of Henry. “Why are you being so...” Hans clicks his teeth together. The words jumble and flutter in his head: subservient, obedient, coolheaded, patient, forgiving, why did you stick around even when I told you to go?

    “Kind,” Hans finally settles on, weakly.
