YES. It just makes sense, and there were too many gd parts in the narrative that we were very obviously Not Shown. There had to be some jiggery-pokery in there. Those poor idiot boys. :(

I love that! I love some smut but like most people (XD) I don't require it. Hm, smut ideas would include a painful reunion where they know they're gonna have to separate again, a desperate reunion where one or both genuinely thought the other was dead, a painful reunion where they actually talk and finally find common ground then they gently, lovingly lead each other to a bedroom, insert other ideas here, profit???
