I love how you describe the war: the cause of everything that had happened between them - perhaps, especially, because you leave the details to the reader's imagination.
It's beautiful and heartbreaking how they find so much peace and contentment in those few final moments, just holding each other, before marching off to the battles we can't be sure they'll return from.
BTW, I have meant to friend you for a long time, so I hope you don't mind if I do it now.

because you leave the details to the reader's imagination. This is something that I found that I do more often than I mean to when it comes to the boys. There's just so much that can happen between them, with so many possible outcomes, and I've never felt exactly right explaining it in detail. That being said, I'm really glad you liked the effect that the ambiguity gave the description.
You interpreted this piece exactly the way that I hoped people would, so it's very nice to hear that it worked. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Not at all, I love new friends! I'll friend you, too. :-)
