    Summary

    When he peers up at Felix, haloed in the setting afternoon sun streaming in through the library windows, he sees, for just a second, a fur-trimmed blue coat with a high collar caressing the curve of Felix’s neck. He blinks, and the image melts back to Felix as he normally is, staring at Sylvain with a sweatshirt on and a stricken look on his face.

    .

    Everyone except Sylvain knows something.

    Summary

    Despite the decades behind them, it astounds him that he is allowed to do this. It has been thirty years since he first kissed Felix: then, on the battlefield, amidst corpses and demonic beasts, the two of them darkened with grime and blood. Their bodies were young, ardent, possessed with a longing neither of them quite knew what to do with.

    Now desire comes to them more slowly. Dimitri has learned patience. He knows Felix’s body so intimately it might well be his own. He knows that the backs of Felix’s arms are unbearably sensitive, and that a kiss lain at the base of his vulnerable neck will leave him panting with desire. He knows that his left hip aches when it thunders. He knows how Felix falls asleep, and how he comes awake. He knows how he looks in the throes of pleasure, when the world falls away from their fingertips and there is nothing left in the world than this chamber, this bed, this moment, this us.

    Thirty years into the future.

    Summary

    Words have never been Felix’s strong suit. But Sylvain has always been the one person Felix never had to censor himself around. When they’re together—riding along a trail through the countryside, sitting by a campfire and trading tales of their latest adventures, wrapped in each other’s arms just before the break of dawn—words flow as freely as clear water through a stream, unimpeded by the weighty expectations so many people in Felix’s life have placed upon him.

    But letter writing is different.

    With letters, there’s no voice to gauge tone with, no hint of a smile or soulful laugh to show emotion. There’s no body language to observe, no eye contact to be had, no freckled face for Felix to read like an open book whose pages he’s studied with all the devotion and reverence of a monk reading holy scripture.

    Felix drops his head into his hands as the seconds tick by into minutes. He’s written plenty of letters. So why can’t he bring himself to write to Sylvain when it matters most?

    Taking a deep breath, Felix raises a shaky hand to pen his first line.

     

    I am writing to ask you for your hand in marriage.

    Summary

    “Sylvain?”

    Maybe he was overthinking this. Because really, it all came down to one, simple point.

    A smile curled fragile over his face. “Hey.” He lifted Felix’s hand, brushing his lips along the back of it, reverent. “You know I love you, right?”

    Five times Sylvain kept a flower, and the one time he gave them all back.
