the lullaby

i don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think they'd understand

"Oh...interesting." More awake than his counterpart, Remi considers the ceiling as Ronin lazes against him. Snow falls soundlessly outside as sketches of deer leaping over muscles take form in the alchemist's mind.

"I wouldn't dream of it." He whispers, and though tentacles would make touching his husband everywhere that much more of an attainable goal, Remi finds he's more than up to the challenge of trying to do it just as himself. So it is that as snowdrifts rise outside of their humble walls, the alchemist reacquaints himself with the topography of his husband's body even as Ronin drifts away into unconsciousness. Hopefully on the side of sweet rather than creepy, Remi wiles away the minutes and hours with careful consideration of the man raggedly snoozing away on top of him, recommitting every curve and notch of his body to memory and trying to silently work out a hierarchy of Ronin's most desirable features.

I love you. He thinks, and though he isn't that tired, it's easy enough for him to slip into sleep that he might join his husband on yet another adventure.
