i've hidden all my fears in a book for only my eyes to see

Remi nearly jumps as Ronin clinks their glasses together, so enamoured was he by the suddenly sly shade of blue Ronin's eyes had gone, or the blush rising up through the scruff on his cheeks.

His fingers are holding the bottom of his glass against the countertop, but he hasn't a thought in the world for the wine. "I don't deserve you." Remi whispers, fairly certain that should Ronin hold his glass more lightly, that the pulse from Remi's heart would cause it to clink again and again against the glass. "But gods am I lucky to have you." He says, wondering how in the world he wasn't supposed to pull the Star against him now.

On cue, something loud thuds upstairs, and it's with a gaze that goes from disgustingly adoring, to flat that Remi looks at his husband. "Have you been up there the whole time?" He demands, feigning outrage as he tosses up his hands.

So it goes that the wine is quickly drunk, boxes are opened and unpacked, and the little shop and the apartment above become much more of a home than either man would be able to remember having lived in.
