[SWE] Festival of Lights - 319PC

REMI

the bastion

Darling, you never could scare me
Set me ablaze like you do

Remi hums in agreement, the faintest smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as they crest the edge of the lantern field. "It is fitting," he murmurs, tilting his head toward Ronin’s with warm amusement as the kiss lands.

Bundled close under his husband’s arm, Remi lets himself be drawn forward, but he’s watching Ronin more than the path. Every time the knight’s shoulders stiffen or his eyes narrow toward someone in the crowd, Remi’s lips ghost a kiss against his cheek, featherlight and coaxing, a silent tether to reel him gently back in from the last lingering urges of the season. When he catches sight of Isla, his face brightens; he lifts a hand in greeting to the Remedy with a warmth that softens the sharper lines of the evening chill.

When Ronin leans in, Remi ruffles his curls and casts his eyes out over the glowing landscape. "Mmh. Maybe it was rude of us," he says lightly and a touch teasingly. "To have our anniversary so close to the festival. Perhaps everyone else feels they’ve already been too lucky as well."

I'd walk over coals in my bare feet
If that gets me closer to you

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
