‘I would lead my own men, and make war in my own way,’ Túrin answered. ‘But in this at least my heart is changed: I repent every stroke save those dealt against the Enemy of Men and Elves. And above all else I would have you beside me. Stay with me!’

‘If I stayed beside you, love would lead me, not wisdom,’ said Beleg. ‘My heart warns me that we should return to Doriath. Elsewhere a shadow lies before us.’

But Túrin tearless  turning suddenly
on the corse cast him,  and kissed the mouth
cold and open,  and closed the eyes.
His bow laid he  black beside him,
and words of parting  wove about him:
‘Now fare well, Beleg,  to feasting long
neath Tengwethil  in the timeless halls
where drink the Gods,  neath domes golden
o'er the sea shining.’   […]

Light lay the earth on the lonely dead;
heavy lay the woe on the heart that lived.

Tied up & Kneeling

There is a lot of tying up going on in their story so it only made sense ;)

“'The Orcs are upon us, let us flee,’ but Túrin answered not, and Flinding shook him, bidding him gather his wits or perish, and then Túrin did as he was bid but yet as one dazed, and stooping he raised Beleg and kissed his mouth.” (The Book of Lost Tales II, HoME 2), art by me :)
