[God Quest] Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger

REMI

the bastion

& i feel like i'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud

Relief washes through the Bastion with a pull far greater than the ocean tides currently tugging at them. He shifts quickly, the lower half of his body rippling into powerful tentacles that help keep them both afloat so that they might focus on one another rather than trying to battle the waves. His wings vanish into nothingness as well before he's reaching out for Ronin to tug him close.

"Shhh," Remi murmurs roughly, pressing his face into Ronin’s hair as water streams down his cheeks, mingling with saltwater that could easily hide tears of relief. "It’s alright. You’re alright." His fingers tighten in the Knight’s shirt, clutching at him like a lifeline, as if afraid to let go lest he have to go through this ordeal of trying to pin Ronin down again. "I’m fine. Better than fine now that I'm not forced to chase after you," he murmurs, and while there's humour in his words, the music of it dies quickly.

Drawing back only enough to see Ronin’s face, the Bastion brushes wet hair away from his husband’s eyes, sea glass gaze bright with fierce, stubborn love. "I’ve got you," Remi repeats softly, the words firm and unwavering. "And I'm the only one who gets to say that."

& i know that you'll use them, however you want to
