[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

Remi tilts his head back slightly, sea-glass eyes blazing with a fierce, reckless intensity that speaks clearly of all the lines he'd willingly cross—every boundary, every rule—to protect Ronin. "I would burn down every hope anyone had of pushing back the void, if that's what it took to save you," he admits softly, the words hushed but uncompromising. It isn’t a joke; it's a truth as devastating as the violet haze he’s only just lifted from his husband's mind, and Remi offers it without regret. His role as a demigod might be to serve as a fount of strength for the others, but he was nothing without Ronin.

His arms tighten protectively around Ronin’s waist, tentacles churning steadily beneath them as he ferries them slowly toward shore. As the waves lap at their shoulders, Remi brushes his lips softly against Ronin’s temple, needing the contact, the reassurance, even as his mind returns to darker questions. "When Dahlia kissed you in Stormbreak," he murmurs quietly, breath warming the damp skin beneath. "Is that when this happened?" There's no jealousy in the Bastion’s voice, only a quiet dread and lingering anger at what the Reaper had put his husband through. "Is there...anything else that you remember, now? Anything you might have left out while you were under her influence?"

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