The morning after they'd kissed and been intimate for the first time had felt unreal, like waking up from a very vivid dream. Crozier wouldn't have been sure of it at all if it weren't for a shared smile, knowing and overwhelmingly affectionate, and the little ache in his ribs telling him that it hadn't just been his imagination. It had all been real, the friendly caresses that gradually turned romantic, the shared words of admiration building and building until they finally revealed what each had been struggling with: they loved each other.
While they'd been careful with their...activities, it clearly had been just a little too much for Crozier's body to take. That morning he's able to stand and move, but his stamina quickly ebbs just a few short hours later. The quick walk from the chair to the fire or the table starts to slow, and by the time the evening comes he starts to struggle to hide the wincing or soft grunts that comes from any movement. He doesn't want Rama to see; he doesn't want him to feel responsible. If presented with the choice to be with him he'd make it again in a heartbeat.
