    Summary

    “I waited for you at that spot. Day after day, I told myself you’d come back, because you always did before. And I waited. I waited until the officers came to transfer us, and even then, I didn’t want to go. But they made me. And then they told me you were gone. That you’d been shot, and that was it. Everyone else with you either died or got discharged. ‘Forget him,’ they said. ‘Move on.’ Just like that. Like you didn’t matter.” His voice cracked. “But you did matter, Naib. You mattered to me.” Norton rambled, his voice dribbling with raw emotions, ones he’d tried to bury away with time.

    Inference's throat tightened as the uncomfortable memories flashed over him. He clenched his jaw, his hand balling into a fist under the table.

    “I didn’t abandon you, Norton,”

    ...

    Ronference gets reunited after 12 years after they both assumed the other died as they were separated during the chaos of the war.

    Summary

    “Don’t go,” Norton mumbles, pulling Naib as close as possible. This is the space he likes the most—when there’s none between them at all. It’s not unlike cuddling with a gigantic teddy bear, except worse because the teddy bear can sweet talk him into being late for work. The sweet talk isn’t even necessary, as long as it’s Norton, Naib will give in every time.

    Summary

    Norton surreptitiously scoops up a gold coin from one of the smaller tables, squeezing it into the hollow of his palm like a nervous tic. “Well?” He glances over his shoulder, jawline tight, and Naib suddenly realizes that this really might not be the best idea.

    Summary

    “Is this supposed to be a date?” Naib asks.

    “Just…something casual,” Norton says, oddly shy.

    “You’re acting like you have a crush on me,” Naib teases. “Are you going to confess after you walk me home?”
