I'm not a kid but I'm still young

For a moment Remi's brows narrowed thinking that was not what Sam had meant at all. Though for as much as he didn't think the bookmaker was capable of a purely physical relationship....well, Remi wasn't sure he was either. What had happened with Ronin seemed the exception that proved the rule. The words something I would like to say to you filled with alchemist with a cold sense of dread at first, the plethora of things the bookmaker might say next populating in Remi's mind in a way which made him feel slightly dizzy. Gently though he nodded, sitting down in his chair and pulling it slightly forward. Whatever Sam needed to say it sounded...weighty, and though physical space was something he thought the pair needed, at least for now, Remi was happy to let it dwindle. It didn't take long for Sam to say something that made the alchemist wince sympathetically, his brows drawn together and his pale stare wide with anguish and concern. Still, he thought this was something that Sam might not be able to finish should he be stopped, and so the alchemist let him continue. However as he neared the ending, spitting out the word worthless, Remi's hand instinctively reached forward for Sam's knee, drawn up and curled against him as it was. Softly his thumb stroked back and forth as he leaned further forward. Hey—" He whispered with a sharp and knowing sort of confidence. "—you are not worthless." Remi corrected in a low, but firm voice, his pale stare trying to see past the fence of knees and copper hair that barred Sam's eyes from view. As the bookmaker mentioned that Remi should keep the story to himself, the alchemist nodded distantly as if it hadn't needed to be said. "I am so sorry for how your family has treated you...even more so that you ever felt like you were not good enough for me." Remi found these words hard, if not impossible to say. Remi who could recall having been with no one (other than Ronin now, but that was different), who had been so taken with the bookmaker for reasons he couldn't really understand...gently the alchemist shook his head, giving Sam's knee a squeeze, before pulling his hand back and letting it dangle with the other between his own knees. "If anything it was I who was not good enough for you. You always saw me as far more than I was, needed me to be so much more than I could be..." Sadly he shook his head. Яemi But now it's happily ever never. I guess now I know better
