you've long seen your downfall, spelled out in another's bones
If you had become a flower I would have found you by now, Ronin protests. You wouldn't be able to resist sneaking out a root or a vine to trip me up. Oho, or maybe you can become lightning? That certainly would be a surprise, but at the same time it does seem very typical of his husband to wait until they are in the fucking Levinsward before letting that little secret surface.
Of course, then Remi goes and spoils it all by doing something stupid like being struck by lightning, ruining the Nova's theory completely.
It's a good thing that Ronin is looking up at this point, because he watches the telltale zap of something in the near distance and, coupled with the sudden pain that floods the Attuned bond, manages to put two and two together. "Oh, fuck--"
Breaking into a sprint and caging his panic behind his teeth, Ronin knows that something like this won't permanently kill his husband, but gods if he won't feel the pain of loss regardless. Skidding in the dirt and just about spotting the little red bird, he drops to his knees and hisses in a breath. "Hey, I'm here," he murmurs. "Don't move, okay?" Already light is beginning to ignite within his chest, the supernova roaring out of him only a second later. And while he can't attack the storms directly, he still considers them an enemy.
