They did it that night, didn't they
Ah yes, sweat, sick and a secret third thing
Boris having a bleed in his mouth, theo having metallic taste in his mouth in the morning, boris wearing theo's underwear and smelling of something funny
Okay they drank from the same bottle so it can explain the metallic taste (besides boris gave theo a flat lip), and they already shared clothes although it's the first time theo mentions it but anyway
If i wanted to really subtly mention an important moment in the characters' relationship i would do it that way
Always thinking about how theo is an unrelatable narrator with lots of suppressed icky feelings so the book has lots of such hints that tell you more than he does
