There it was. There was the crisis.
Sure, maybe it wasn’t world ending. And maybe it wasn’t even the worst thing that might have happened, especially for Remi. But for Ronin it’s something that leaves him listless and restless all at the same time, and he wakes his husband not a moment after returning from the lighthouse.
It doesn’t take much to explain - Seren is gone, this is why, I have new magic apparently - but far from settling down to sleep, Ronin tries to coax the Alchemist from the warmth of slumber and out. Out into the black skies and the rain that’s needling down now that Safrin has left the earthly realm behind.
Sometimes Remi needs to get out, to let it all out. And sometimes Ronin needs to swim in the ocean in the middle of a storm. So now they’re on the beach, and the Star has his lips pressed feverishly against Remi’s; and gods is he sorry for the torrent of emotion that the other man is going to feel. But he can’t not. He can’t not feel his skin against Remi’s, feel his tongue press into the other man’s mouth, his arms slip around him.
