i wish I could say I am a light that never goes out.
but i flicker from time to time
but i flicker from time to time
Remi chuckles, the sound boyish and rueful, his curls falling forward as he ducks his head slightly. "Oh, well my mistake, then," he concedes, voice warm and low with amusement, though the look he casts Ronin is anything but repentant.
But then the Knight's mouth is on his wrist again, reverent and familiar, and though Remi’s skin has been kissed a thousand times over by this man, it still draws a flush to his cheeks, bright and unabashed. "I know you know," he murmurs, unable to keep the note of pleasure from his voice, "but I like saying it anyway."
And when Ronin hooks a leg around his waist, invitation and claim in one, Remi doesn’t hesitate. He pitches forward with a quiet laugh, bracing a hand on the tree trunk behind his husband’s head, the other slipping instinctively to cradle Ronin’s jaw. His mouth finds Ronin’s again—hungry and honey-slow—and his tongue curls soft against his husband’s, whispering sweet nothings that never need to be spoken aloud to be understood.
As for cheating—"Yes, well," Remi breathes against Roni's lips, grinning. "We both knew I’d cheat" He tilts his head to nuzzle affectionately along Ronin’s jaw, stubble rasping gently against stubble. "But you are supposed to be the good one, husband."
There’s a steady pull inside him that’s never lessened, never frayed—not with time, not with war, not with the weight of the world pressing in on them from every side. It’s a current that has flowed for ten years, deep and sure, but somehow it feels older than that. Wiser. Timeless. A part of him so intrinsic that to imagine himself without it feels like imagining a world without light. "It’s you, for me," Remi whispers. And then he leans in once more, brushing his nose against Ronin’s before capturing his mouth in a kiss that’s less about fire and more about gravity—inevitable, infinite, and whole.
