when you wake

right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up

Remi isn't in the wagon. That much is clear enough by the smell. This lazy bit of knowledge doesn't rouse him from sleep just yet. Remi has awoken in Ronin's bed a number of times unintentionally since discovering his new magic, and the uncomfortable bed beneath him and the warm body at his side tell him that its happened again.

Soothed by the knowledge that across the world a certain fox who has been apprised of this new ability won't panic when he finds Remi gone, the alchemist just moves himself closer to the body next to his. His arms move to wrap around the Star's torso as he shifts to properly spoon his husband. Ronin is normally the big spoon, but Remi doesn't mind at all reversing their roles. With his cheek against the hollow of Ronin's ear and the dull light he can sense through his eyelids, the alchemist is quite sure they have time to doze for another hour or so at least.

Or perhaps not doze; there's nothing quite like lazy, sleepy morning sex with the Star to start the day off properly. This is where Remi's thoughts have gone as he lets himself fall back to sleep.
