Eventually, Don chuckles. Charlie tilts his head expectantly, stilling his fingers in Don's chest hair, but Don just lies there, eyes closed, smiling secretively. Out of patience, Charlie prods him insistently in the ribs, and Don laughs again, shaking his head, before he gives in and says, "That scar... yeah. Robin had the same reaction."
Don's smile twists when Charlie winces. He kind of deserved that answer, so he sets his head back down on Don's shoulder, sliding a hand across his chest to palm the scar on his bicep, while Don rubs Charlie's back, firm strokes along his spine. When Don says, "We shouldn't've done this," his voice is even and quiet, not angry or pleading as in the past, and he doesn't stop petting Charlie.
Charlie nods against Don's shoulder. It would be only fair to agree, not to mention true. But all he can say is, "You could've died."
Don sighs, reaching to pull Charlie atop himself. "But I didn't, Charlie," he replies, gently pushing Charlie's head down onto his chest, where Charlie can listen to his heartbeat, where Don can rest his chin in Charlie's curls. "I survived," Don whispers, and their fingers mesh over his new scar.

Aw. And that's why they have to have survival sex. ::nods:: I mean, clearly.

That is a lovely, perfect ending.

I love the pause after scar and how he just says, "Yeah". It's so real, exactly what Don would say, that it just popped out of the story, making it even more wonderful! ^^ Such a simple thing, but so important nonetheless.
The other bit that I loved?
"...gently pushing Charlie's head down onto his chest, where Charlie can listen to his heartbeat, where Don can rest his chin in Charlie's curls."
*sighs happily*
^^ Thank you for the wonderful series! I'm extremely glad you wrote it, personally. <3
