12. “I dedicated this nail to you, when I painted them.”
“What are you doing?”
Michael stops painting his nails and looks up at Alex from where he’s frowning next to his truck.
“Painting my nails.”
Alex rolls his eyes in the most spectacular way and Michael’s in love.
“I can see that. Why?”
“Well, because you can’t anymore.” Michael gestures with the hand holding the nail polish brush and cringes a little as the nail polish spills over onto his truck bed.
Alex sighs and comes to sit up on the truck bed with Michael and Michael scoots closer.
“You’re doing this for me?”
“Of course. I would do anything for you.” Michael whispers and they both look to Michael’s left hand, no longer bandaged but scarred permanently.
“Guerin.”
“You’re leaving soon and I know the military isn’t going to let you paint your nails, so one of us should.”
Alex looks at him and Michael leans his forehead against Alex’s, willing him to understand.
“Let me.” Alex whispers as he takes the nail polish and starts painting the nails on Michael’s right hand.
Michael smiles and leans in to kiss Alex quickly and Alex smiles at him.
Ten years later, when Alex comes home, there’s still black nail polish on Michael’s truck bed, and black nail polish on Michael’s nails.
