I swear I never dream that we're alone
Remi's smiles and touches and reassurance were simultaneously everything he needed and also nothing that he felt he should be allowed, and Ronin was caught in the tide of it all. He could only shake his head at the other man; Remi didn't understand yet, didn't know what was going on. Everything would change in only a few seconds, and as he watched the colour drain from his husband's face, he had to swallow down a sob.
The alchemist slumped back on the sand, and whilst Ronin could feel the other man's cold fingers splayed upon his knee, everything felt like it was sliding away, into the yawning black of whatever came next after this. I know. His mental voice was whispered, and he rubbed at his eyes. I would never expect you to... I never wanted... Another child. To ever put us in this position. Anything but what we were building together here.
But here Seren was, and denying her existence didn't make her disappear. I understand if you don't want to be around me. I can go, I just... I needed to see you.
