RONIN
THE WHITE KNIGHT
Ah, as long as you always remember how much I love you, the rest will fall into place, I'm sure, Ronin says warmly, caring not one jot about how corny he might sound. Here in their little houseboat with their children between them and only Remi present to hear it, he'll be as cringe as he likes. And as he meets his husband's eyes and can feel it, practically, as whatever tension lives in him starts to ease, he barely resists the urge to lean across and kiss him.
(He might love the Bastion but he's not willing to forsake this hard-won peace between them for anything in the world).
Instead, he reaches out to tease one of his curls back out of his face, raising a brow at the suggestion that leaves him. The adoration that floods out of him is palpable, Ronin seeming to soften at the edges in a way that can be considered a rarity this season, and he nods immediately. Yes. Please, he almost whispers through the bond. I would really like that. And he has no doubt that Vai, Aoife and the boys would too. We can invite Flora, Enzo and Mateo as well? he suggests.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
