RONIN
THE SUPERNOVA
Swallowing hard as he gazes up at the man he's so madly in love with, it's a good thing Ronin doesn't try to bite his tongue to keep his words at bay, because he'd likely have snipped right through it with teeth that are suddenly sharp and unforgiving. "Remi," he whispers, the hint of a plea or a warning in his voice accompanying the soft growl that rumbles up through his chest and throat. "Don't."
He's trying to do the right thing. To do what Remi would want, even if it doesn't seem like it right now, but there's only so many times he can ignore what he wants. Leaning in to steal a kiss from the Lullaby's lips as if to silence the blasphemy of being in love with Isla, Ronin spends a slow few moments gathering his composure. "I am yours," he whispers eventually. "And you are mine. And that was true even when you remembered Isla. I promise you that. And besides, it won't be like truly remembering. This is just... watching a dream."
Not trusting himself to part from his husband even a fraction, it's with an awkward manoeuvring of antlers and wings that Ronin lets his head loll against Remi's shoulder. "She was your best friend as well," he says slowly. "Your very best friend, before anything else." And the alchemist had only very recently mentioned not having any left.

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
