i will be coming back
No you didn't. Ronin's sob turns into a weak and almost hysterical laugh. We did this. We're both in this together, even for something like this. It's not all on you. He presses a teary kiss to Remi's knuckles, even as the light within him starts to blaze brighter again. Ronin's body has been desperately trying to drag up another supernova for his husband, and it seems he's finally able, and the Huntsman even has the sense to reach out and cover Remi's eyes as it beams out of him.
"I'm here," he manages, in a voice that's small and afraid compared to the creature that brought him here to the sands. "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here." Squeezing Remi's hand, he looks over him as if to check that he's really still alive. Ronin is almost as pale as his husband, such is his exhaustion, but it won't stop him from giving everything he's got to get the other man on his feet again.
"I love you," he whispers. "Don't leave me."
