REMI

the alchemist

I've said that hope I'll never find
To my myself I must confide

Remi doesn't know if the hands that grip his wrists are shackles or just another link in the chains that bind them together. Hardly daring to blink, he very nearly rushes forward to silence whatever Ronin is about to say next with a kiss. Because if this is to be the end of them, better that he kisses Ronin one more time before the words are spoken. He begins to move, but it's too late; he's too late, as he always had been, with his apologies and his promises to do better.

The breath he'd been holding in as well as the tears he'd been holding back come forward in a flash, leaving the alchemist gasping and blinking. "No, of course you aren't. Wallowing is when you do it for three seasons and let half of the Greatwood live in your beard." Remi manages through a breathless laugh.

'Gods I love you.' Pushing his hands out from under Ronin's that they might slip around the Star's shoulders and draw him near, Remi shakes his head as he grips the Star tight. "I do not know when we started living under a magnifying glass." When every single thing they did caused ripples and ripples of consequences that stretched farther than they could imagine.

"You have every right to be angry. What I have done...gods, it has complicated so much."

That there's no choice outside your mind
