[Action post: Christmas letter]

[There had been a letter in their post box that morning, along with a few ads for sales and an electricity bill. Berwald frowned down at the slightly scuffed and stamp encrusted envelope. It looked like it had had a long travel, and there was no return address. Shrugging at the mystery, he went to kitchen to get a knife and slice it open, eyes ( Read more... )

Calling his boyfriend's name, Sindre wandered into the kitchen, having already checked his workroom. Catching sight of him at the table, Sindre moved to stand behind him.

"Daydreaming?" he teased, resting a hand on his shoulder. "I must have called your name five--"

He cut himself off as he caught sight of Berwald's expression. "Are you all right..." his voice trailed off as his gaze fell on the folded paper under Berwald's hand. More specifically, the handwriting covering the paper.

He knew that writing.

Sindre felt his stomach drop, the sudden roaring in his ears distracting him from the way his fingers suddenly clenched on Berwald's shoulder. Unbidden, the memory of Berwald telling him about Tino's departure, how their relationship ended due to government interference, nothing more, rose to the forefront of his mind.

"How..." his voice faltered, and he had to swallow hard before trying again. "How is Tino, then?"

Berwald wasn't entirely sure what he felt about the letter. There was some sadness, and guilt at the realization how he hadn't really thought so much about Tino in a while... and not even because it hurt that much anymore, now he thought about it. If they ever met again... well, he'd be happy to see him, and that Tino could have his own life back. Of course, it would be difficult to explain he'd... moved on?

He had though, now he thought about it. Huh. Right now, he mostly felt relief that Tino was doing well, from the sound of things.

Berwald was so lost in figuring his own feelings, he wasn't paying much attention to Sindre's. As such, he just handed over the letter.

"Can read 't if ya like... he sounds to be ok, though," he said absently.

His hand was remarkably steady as he took the paper from Berwald's grip. Staring at the innocuous white sheet for a long moment, Sindre's expression hardened, and with one sharp gesture he sent the folded piece of paper sliding across the table. He found himself disappointed that the letter managed to not slide off the end, but at least it was out of either of their reaches.

"Okay enough to come back?" he found himself asking, voice clipped and distant. Before Berwald answered, however, Sindre pushed himself away from the other man. His steps, as clipped and measured as his voice had been, still managed to convey his ire. "That didn't take long. They'd best hope they're correct; wouldn't want send Tino back into danger."

Sindre suddenly throwing the paper away from himself startled Berwald from his thoughts, and he turned to stare at him, completely baffled as to what had set him off.

"But they didn't--" he began to say, instinctively reaching for Sindre, only to have him turn away too quickly. Just as quickly, Berwald got to his feet, laying a hand on Sindre's arm.

"What's wrong?" he asked, dismayed at the turn in Sindre's mood. It wasn't like him to get so irate, let alone so suddenly.

"Yeah, sure," Berwald replied with some relief. While he couldn't continue their previous discussion right now, working together on something as simple as dinner sounded good ( ... )

At Berwald's words, Sindre set his book aside. "Because I was thinking too much," he said quietly, turning to press his front to Berwald's back, wrapping his arm around him. "Or not enough ( ... )

Somehow, he hadn't really thought about Søren's part in it. He'd had some unfinished business with him but... nothing like Sindre. He felt a brief stab of guilt, considering how he himself had left once, but told himself to stop it. That hadn't been the same thing, they'd just been friends then ( ... )

Sindre nodded slowly at Berwald's words. That he could understand.

Returning the declaration, Sindre cupped his hand behind Berwald's neck and tugged him in for a hard, possessive kiss.
