it's a funny old world

Remi only opened his eyes long enough to register that Ronin was alright when he heard the sounds of movement, before closing his eyes and letting himself drift deep back into sleep. That was probably why as the guildmaster's arms wrapped around him, Remi didn't stir, but unconsciously allowed himself to be cuddled and even scooched himself closer to better fit against the former-captain. At some point however, Remi did awake. In another life he didn't remember, he'd awoken in a position like this before, only it was a mischevious fox who'd had his arms around him after a rather interesting night.

Suddenly drawing in a breath and holding it, the alchemist froze. He tried to slow his rapidly raising heart rate but found himself entirely unable. The fact that Ronin knew about Remi's preferences—that the captain himself went both ways—was entirely unhelpful.

Instead of an awkward and uncomfortable man in his arms, Ronin would instead find a raccoon who was more than happy to steal the guildmaster's warmth and affection.
