Dawn Redemption

Since that night, Fern's enthusiasm for going to Dachau has subsided a little.In fact, he didn't really want to go to that poor place, but he just felt that even if he couldn't be in that capacity, he would feel a little joy and satisfaction if he could stand in front of others with him.

Seeing that the day of departure was coming, he thought about it again.Just standing by his side, a position that no one else will have, is enough.

That day Noah suddenly told him that a guest was coming tonight.

Finn was a little flustered, because the arrival of this guest was really like a surprise inspection. He hadn't prepared anything yet, and one of the light bulbs in the restaurant was broken and hadn't been repaired yet.Noah looked at his agitated look, smiled and rubbed his head: "It's okay, I'm not a distinguished guest, and I just want to introduce you, so we know each other."

Finn was planning to find a ladder to replace the light bulb by himself, but the tension was finally loosened after hearing what he said: "Who?" "A former friend of mine." Noah said.

Finn is particularly sensitive about Noah's past.Although Noah told him about the past last time, it was still difficult to fill the years when he lacked his figure and was blank for himself.What worried him even more was that he used to have a harmonious family. If there was a slight discrepancy at any second in the middle, it might end in a different way now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder a little, even though the person who had been honed in the flames of battle was now standing side by side with him.He is a little timid, but eager to touch his past.

"A comrade in arms?" Finn asked.

"Well... we met on the battlefield." Noah replied.

It wasn't until dinner was ready for a while that the guests were late.At first, when Finn went to open the door, he thought that the man had gone by the wrong way, because although the man in front of him was not thin and thin, he couldn't compare with ordinary soldiers at all.Ginger-red hair looks a little disheveled because of the curly curls. The man wears a pince-nez monocle thicker than the bottom of the glass bottle in front of his right eye, and a curly golden curtain on the side almost hangs down to his shoulders.

What made Finn even more suspicious of the identity of the "guest" was that he thought that even if it wasn't a dress, he would at least wear something more formal.The man at the door was wearing a very bright red and white checked shirt with a distinct Bavarian style, and a light-colored leather jacket with God knows how many pockets. There was also a dark stain on it, exuding a thick smell. Pungent motor oil smell.

Fein's hand was still on the doorknob, and he kept the movement of opening the door and stood in the door frame. Letting him in for a while didn't mean driving him away, but he still didn't respond to the embarrassment of death.

"Oh!"

A white light suddenly exploded in front of his eyes, and Finn, who was defenseless, was startled and blinked.When the spotlight dimmed, the man said happily, "Oh! It's great, it's very natural, and he looks pretty good too." After that, he gave Finn a thumbs up with the hand that wasn't holding the camera.

When Finn couldn't figure out the situation and was about to explode with anger like being fooled, Noah's voice sounded from the porch behind him: "Paul! Don't scare my adjutant."

Stepping closer, Finn stepped back sideways to make way for Noah.

"Noah von Seifert! You old ghost, you survived a catastrophe and lived such a beautiful life!" The man grinned, and then a smile appeared on Noah's always serious face: "Thanks to everyone." He told Finn to step back, and glanced at the oil stains on the man's leather jacket, "However, I don't want to hug you."

The man took off his coat, judging from the heavy texture, he didn't know how many messy things were in those pockets: "Come on, I'm afraid you will break my little baby." He folded the clothes indiscriminately I folded the oil stains inside, tucked them under my armpits, and walked into the door with the camera in hand.The three of them walked towards the restaurant, with Noah and the man in front, and Finn following closely behind.

"Let me introduce you. Lieutenant Feyn Yanick, my adjutant." "Hello." Finn twisted the corners of his mouth, trying to bend a smile that might not look so stiff.The man enthusiastically held his extended hand: "I'm Paul Schneider, you can just call me Paul."

Finn nodded. At this time, a servant came to help pull out the chair, and the three sat down.

Noah said: "He was the best photographer at the time, and he was ranked as the chief in the People's Observer Daily."

It was only then that Finn realized that Paul was not a comrade in arms, and he might have met him when he happened to be marching with Noah's troops.

Paul carefully removed the camera from his neck and placed it on the vacant side of the long table: "It's all in the past, and now they fired me."

"What?" Noah's surprise was limited to the movements of his hands and he paused for half a second, "But you are the best photographer."

"Well, I don't want to do it myself." Paul shrugged. "At first, the job of a war correspondent was dangerous enough, but then I had to listen to that lame little devil to take any photos. I handed in my resignation and no one did it. So I just quit and they fired me. Now I’m a freelancer and I’d rather sell my photos to the tabloids than have to be told where to focus.”

"That's good." Noah nodded.At this time, the staple food was served one after another, and there were several drafts of dark beer.Noah picked up the wine glass: "They are all old acquaintances, so I won't be polite to you with wine, cheers."

Paul also raised his glass to clink with him: "Come on, you just pick it up. Cheers."

Finn was left out in the cold, knowing that this was the inevitable result, he wasn't too unhappy, but seeing the full pitcher of dark beer in front of him, he gulped.Of course, Noah saw all of this.

"My lieutenant, he doesn't like alcohol very much," he said to Paul,

"Really?" Paul nodded in understanding, the gold chain next to the lens trembled, he turned his head and smiled at Finn, "Then it will be hard for you to follow your commander."

After speaking, he lowered his head to think about which side to cut the steak from.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Noah turned his head to look at Finn, and silently re-read Paul's sentence "Some people suffer".Fein stared at his smile for a moment, feeling that he hadn't even had a sip yet, so he got on top.

The light reflected in Finn's aquamarine eyes, forming two bright spots of light.

The blond hair, which was still damp after washing, did not lie on the scalp as usual, but fell naturally on the sides of the still flushed face.In order not to disappoint Noah and his friends, he drank the pitcher of beer as best he could.So much so that after watching the servants send Paul back to the guest room, he was able to safely return to the master bedroom on the third floor with Noah's support.

Even when he was taking a bath, Noah talked to him without saying a word, as if he was afraid that he would collapse in the bathroom while washing.

He expected to stay late today, but as expected, Noah and Paul kept talking about the old days until after nine o'clock.So Finn took the time to call Rolf and said that he would not go back tonight.Hearing the sound of dripping water now, it was rare for him to relax and lean against the head of the bed without worrying about how those people in the dormitory would be sexually obsessed.It's just that my heart is still in a mess.

He heard the sound of water stop, and after a while, his steps approached.Noah was wearing a loose undershirt and a bathrobe over it. He came over and sat on the edge of the bed while wiping the water from his hair with a towel.Finn was thinking deeply and didn't look up at him. Maybe he sensed that something was wrong with him. Noah put the towel on the bedside table, sat on the bed and picked up Finn and hugged him.

Obviously the other party is a handsome young man, not much shorter than himself, and he must have been favored by many women outside, but just hugging him like this, he just feels very soft, small, and cute, and people can't help but think about it. Rubbing the soft golden hair.

Noah didn't understand why he left without warning, inexplicably, without hesitation, and never returned.

"What are you thinking?" He whispered close to Finn's ear.Fein reassuredly handed over the weight of his body to him, thought for a while, and said slowly: "You said, after the war is over, will this place continue to operate?"

"I have no way to give you an accurate answer." Noah said, "Compared with those functions that have been blown to pieces, this place is just a tool to maintain the rule. But, it is for this purpose, to maintain The enthusiasm of the people, this lie may be continued. But you can rest assured, as long as I am here, I will do my best not to let anyone touch you."

"No. In fact, what I really want to ask is that Fein couldn't help it, broke away from Noah's arm, and sat cross-legged with him, "Will people like us always be cast aside by the country and everyone?"In broad daylight, I can only be an adjutant following you in this life? "

Noah was stunned for a rare moment, he didn't expect Finn to ask such a question.Sure enough, some things can change a person. In the past, he always had that expression like an ice sculpture, as if he was indifferent to everything in the world, but now he actually cares about this.

He couldn't bear to say it, but he still said it.For the first time in his life, he didn't dare to look directly into someone's eyes. It turned out to be his, those blue eyes that would haunt him for the rest of his life for decades.

"Because in the eyes of outsiders, we are sinners."

Two seconds later, he looked up at Fern.There was no look of disappointment, only he smiled and sighed.He seldom smiled lightly from the bottom of his heart like that. When he smiled, he was very pretty, like the first rays of light shining on the sparkling Rhine River when spring came.But such a smile made Noah's chest feel faintly sour. "I know, it feels like wearing shackles. I have to wear them in this life and be a prisoner for eternity."

After finishing speaking, he was pulled by Noah and hugged him tightly.His strength was stronger than before, as if he was afraid that he would lose if he let go, so he used all his strength to keep him in his arms.

He doesn't say those love words.He used this method to tell him that I am by your side.

Finn closed his eyes and just lay on his broad chest.

So what if he is a sinner?No matter how muddy the water is, he has flowed through it.

Besides, he was no longer alone like he had been for so many days.

"Are you upset because of what I introduced to Paul today?" Noah asked.Feeling that the strength of his hand was a little lighter, Finn straightened up, shook his head first, and then nodded after a while: "That's why I started thinking about it, but don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy."

Noah leaned over to hold his hand, with a sincere light shining in his brown pupils: "Believe me, I'm also very dissatisfied—I can't tell other people that I have such an excellent lover as you."

"It doesn't matter." Finn smiled and kissed Noah actively.Noah continued to deepen the kiss, stopped his waist and pulled him closer.From the lips to the earlobe, all the way to the side of the neck and the delicate Adam's apple.One hand slowly caressed the tight muscles on his waist, and at the same time unbuttoned the white shirt on him one by one.

After drinking, his body became more sensitive, and after a simple touch, he fell into a deep thirst, and he couldn't wait to accept Noah's possession of his body.

When Noah turned over and pressed Finn under him, Finn suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised his hand to block Noah's kiss on his chest: "Wait a minute! Don't you hear what Mr. Schneider said?" !"

"Well." Noah pushed Fein's hand away, his eyes were full of lust, but he still pretended to think about it, "You can just call him Paul, I know his sleep quality very well, because of this back then , Missed many opportunities to shoot the scene of the assault in the middle of the night. So, even if we go to his bed to do it now, he won’t wake up.” After that, he reached out and took off the only pair of underwear left on Finn’s body. down.
