babylon lovers hanging lifetimes on a vine

It takes what feels like a heroic effort not to shred his husband's wings given the way Remi wants to plunge his fingers down directly into Ronin's muscles, as if letting his palm sweep across the Knight's skin wasn't enough. Drawing his claws back and forcing himself to be content with an embrace that wasn't bone-deep, the Bastion sighs heavily into the space beneath Ronin's jaw.

'You say that, but...gods it feels like there's so much more." He murmurs, and had his arms not been twined around Ronin's body, he'd have gestured toward his chest where more than just the Knight's weight seemed to rest. "It's like..with every breath, with everything I do..." Helplessly he shakes his head, tilting his head back into his husband's touch. "..gods, it's just always you." Stretching up in order to claim a kiss from his husband's lips, Remi's own are decadently soft. Reverant, almost, though the way he feels about his husband is far from holy.

Fumbling for words they both knew he'd never find, Remi flushes a touch boyishly as he settles back against their pillows. "It always hits me more just after...when I have you or you have me, especially like that, even being away from you this much makes me think of what it would be like to be without you."

it felt like somethin' holy, like souls bleeding
