Wolfgang’s enthusiasm is hard for Michael to dismiss. They’re smiling, and he realizes he hasn’t seem them smile since they were in Africa. He’s pretty sure he’d do anything to make them smile like that. It hurts to know that he took that away from them for so long, but now that it’s back it makes everything easier. The way they pull his body onto theirs doesn’t bother him, the way they kiss him more and more deeply doesn’t bother him. Their happiness is completely apparent. Only now does he truly start to relax, movements becoming less stiff and shy as though he’s waking up from hibernation.
