Bless crackimpala for digging out these little gems and putting them on display again for us to marvel at!

There have been such swings (in aired canon and in fanfic) in how much the boys do and don't open up with each other. It's sort of a treasure to find this snippet when they just ... didn't ... and hadn't in so many years ... and it hurts. And feels right too.

Beautifully done here.
