skinny dipping in my mind

beside my bed i keep a bottle of dreams

Used to this, Remi indeed follows the light. A trick once used by Ludo to try and snare him in death, now it's the panacea to any malady he might face down in this world. As reality settles back into his bones, the alchemist's lashes flutter open, his head still turned toward Ronin. I love you, he mouths before sitting up and looking over his shoulder at Amalia.

"We'll talk before we go." He assures her, waiting until she's left the room before exhaling a breath that feels as though its been held in his chest for hours. Pushing himself onto his knees and crawling toward Ronin, the alchemist will wrap his arms around the Star's chest, his cheek firmly pressed against the huntsman's back. Feeling the throbbing near-black of the Star's frustration, the alchemist merely swallows and hugs his husband all the more tightly. Through the troubled blues and hostile purples of Ronin's exasperation of having what, in his mind, was meant to be a relatively uncomplicated few moments turn into something so binding, Remi just breathes steadily.

Pressing a kiss against one of Ronin's shoulders, his lips leaning against the Star's muscles for a moment, the alchemist gives a suggestive tug, that they might both lay back down again.
