Summary
He could see the attraction while far back in the line. It wasn’t called a tower for nothing, after all. The screams of the people currently riding almost sound like a taunt, and he felt his feet rooted to the spot.
“Oh shit, are you scared after all?” Ivan knows it was a dig.
But he saw the concerned look on Till's face, and his mind flashed to earlier: Bari deliberately going up and closing on Till’s space—a little too closely, a smile on his face. Ivan didn’t like that smile.
But as his grip tightened more around Till’s waist, he supposed he wasn’t any better.
“No,” he answered, resting his chin atop Till’s head.
…Or Ivan succumbs to peer pressure because of a certain someone and rides the drop tower. Problem? He’s afraid of heights.

Summary
All of me, huh? Could he do that? He'd done so much in secret for so long, it felt terrifying to drag it all into the light. But for Till? For himself and the chance that this time, maybe, they could be different?
"Yeah."
And then Till looked over his shoulder, caught Ivan's gaze and held it. "Thank you. I know I'm really late in saying it. But I'm also really, really happy that I still have the chance to say it at all."
Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.
And neither knew that the other survived.
Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.
