Summary
He closed his fingers around my tags.
"'Maybe in the future they'll allow me to take your last name,'" he said.
Then he looked at me.
"But we don't have a future yet."
He placed his tags in my palm.
"So take mine, and I'll take yours."
I stared at him.
"And if I die?"
He swallowed.
"Don't let them bury me under my name."
The words seemed absurd.
So absurd that I laughed.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"You can't be serious."
"I am."
"Thomas."
He leaned closer.
"If I die in this shitty war, don't tell them we switched."
I stopped laughing.
He looked down at the tags.
"Let me be buried under your name."
My throat tightened.
"And fifty years from now," he whispered, "you can be buried under mine."
