[SE] the feel of coldness only water brings

REMI

the alchemist

& my heart ran away with me

Wanting very much to reach out and draw the Knight near, for the first time a long while the Bastion didn't know if what his husband needed or wanted, was space or the responsibility of simply having all he felt brought to light. Glancing down into the water, Remi bit at the inside of his cheek wondering what Ronin might say to him, were their roles reversed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way." Remi says, holding out his hand beneath the water for the Knight to either take or merely acknowledge. "Nor did I mean to spring it on you. I've been thinking about it since I saw Vai and I maybe should have thought about how to bring this up to you a bit more tactfully." It's an easy admission; for all the flaws that Remi had once vehemently denied having, this was certainly not one.

"We just...when it happened we never really talked about it, understandably. And now all these years later..." For all that the restoration of Vanya's place in Mort's halls and Ronin's ascension to White Knight had done for him, there was perhaps just this one last chip on his shoulder that they'd always been too busy fighting for the safety of their children or the entire world, to fill in. "..I just hate seeing you upset. If you want to drop it, there's plenty more garbage for us to sift through."
