RONIN
THE SUPERNOVA
Rolling his eyes affectionately and needing no words to either understand or respond to the Lullaby's expressions, Ronin concedes to the other man's point. He's never been angry at Remi in this season though (or very rarely, anyway) - he's usually angry at everyone else. But - and gods if the way Remi clutches him close doesn't cause the possessive flare in his emotions to grow tenfold - this isn't a one-off, like sleeping with Hotaru at a Frey shrine. It isn't a hall pass, it isn't a stranger.
Grumbling something both affectionate and grateful as the Lullaby's whispers trickle through the air, Ronin hastily conjures his duplicate to spread the blankets out for them to sit on, before he tugs the other man down and into his lap. Problem solved, then, he wants to say automatically. I'll eat the letter and we'll pretend it never arrived. But therein lays the problem. It has arrived. And Remi would want to go, if he only knew what he had given up.
"It's one of those impossible things," he says slowly, "where you could only know the answer to that question after you did it." Sighing heavily and letting his head loll against his husband's shoulder, Ronin furrows his brow. "How did it even get here, after all this time? Why now?"

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
