we shall heal our wounds, collect our dead
Remi's legs lock around him and Ronin hums a note of bliss into their kiss, as if this is the real thing he's been craving all along. And it is, gods it is, the Star smiling despite himself even while his lips part in a soft gasp as they find their rhythm, however slow and indulgent as it might be. "Hours?" He smiles, and though the expression on his face is playfully disbelieving, the gentle kiss he steals from Remi's lips pledges to go that long if that's what the Lullaby wants.
It's a gross overestimation of what he's capable of, with the alchemist all around him and the world bleeding into little more than the steady pound of his heartbeat and the fire that ignites wherever they touch... but the thought is there.
"I'm yours," he mumbles through the kisses he's trailing along Remi's jaw, his voice tight where he's battling to keep his pace slow and measured, because fuck if it isn't entirely worth it. "I'm all yours, Remi." In the past, perhaps he'd have gone further with it, professed for Remi to command anything of him, to do anything with him. But finally he has realised the danger in those statements, the way they promised things that neither man could fulfill.
But he is the Lullaby's, body and soul, whatever their differences.
