just a moment to hold

REMI

the lullaby

there's a light that you give me
when I'm in shadow

"I don't care even a little bit about the pants." Remi whispers against the top of her hair, tugging her closer with the hand wrapped around her. "Well, and even if he does. Still not my worst date." The joke is probably poorly timed, but the alchemist is finding it hard to know when he's dealing with bffIsla, versus dateIsla. There are only slight differences he's learning, but the nuances seem to be more important than he's giving them credit for.

"Should I not have mentioned it? To her, I mean? Honestly..and maybe I was just being naive, but I thought she might actually have a way of knowing. Working in a brothel. But it was all just..." Her fingers in his hair, her body wound around his, the bath, the press of him over her and the taste of her on his tongue...now, it just makes him shrug. "...it made me feel like I did when I was younger. When I had to pretend to be someone else. "

Rubbing at her palm with his thumb, and then bringing it to his lips, Remi doesn't kiss her hand so much as he just clasps it. Closing his eyes and breathing in the faint smell of her, feeling the chill of her skin against his lips and the tip of his nose, eventually, he opens his eyes to gaze at her. "I have never felt the way I do with you, with any other woman. I don't think I ever will."

there's a feeling you give me, an everglow
