[SE] sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth

babylon lovers hanging lifetimes on a vine

I am not trying to, Remi protests weakly even as his lips part further to allow Ronin's. For a moment the Knight is able to swamp Remi's emotions with his such that as they part, a long and shuddering sigh leaves the Bastion's lips that feels as though it's finally made air in his lungs for him to take a proper breath.

Laying his head softly down, Remi's sea-glass eyes still shine with unshed tears as he gazes adoringly at Ronin. "With everything going on...it's like it has become easier and easier to imagine something going wrong." The Rapier not working against the dragon. Dahlia appearing again. Pierce killing Ronin. "Before with the war it felt like there was just this one dangerous thing we had to do, and now..." Not wanting to part even an inch, Remi rolls his wrist against Ronin's side where it's come to rest. "..it feels like every other day." Gods, they couldn't even run away to the Cordilerra anymore. Not even that was safe.

Swallowing, Remi's eyes slowly trace a few scattered motes of light as they rise and fall, buffeted by the heat rolling off of his husband's body before scattering like bits of gold dust into his dark hair. "I'm sorry." Blinking himself into the moment again as his eyes find Ronin's, the Bastion offers his husband a crooked and bashful smile.

it felt like somethin' holy, like souls bleeding
