heartbeat on a high line

REMI

the alchemist

Walk me home in the dead of night,
'Cause I can't be alone with all that's on my mind

Ludo's demands come regardless of the rain. It isn't easy for the Alchemist to navigate the streets during the monsoon, but he manages it well enough. He's soaked to the bone by the time he finds his mark—a man on the brink of the death, his skin broiled with disease and already bleeding out from a mugging gone horribly wrong—and his life slips away into Remi's hands with a grateful sigh. Despite the rain, Remi has blood on the front of his shirt and on his hands as he dashes into the Halenani.

Eyes closed as he shuts the door behind him, his curls a sopping mess that cover his eyes as he breathes heavily, Remi tries to still his frantically beating heart, knowing that back at home, Ronin is likely staring down at his hands and wondering just what is going on.

So say you'll stay with me tonight.
'Cause there is so much wrong going on outside
