Summary
Because it’s true, he went to war, he’s a whole man changed. He’s nothing like who he was before. And yet lying in this bed with Bertolt feels so familiar. He inhales; it smells like home and Bertolt’s dollar-store shampoo; it smells like sex and sleep; they’re once again shirtless, breathless. Panting. But there’s a key difference: they’re not out of time. They’ve got nothing, nothing but time. So Reiner asks the question on his mind.
“Did I disappoint you? By going? Did you not want me to go?” Reiner murmurs, softly, his voice a flickering melody. Outside, bees hum, pollinating the world, repopulating it with beauty.
“You will never disappoint me,” whispers Bertolt. “But of course I didn’t want you to go.”
“If you’d told me not to go,” Reiner says, “I’d have never enlisted. Swear on my life.”
