even my darkness shines for you

"The weekends are pretty special," Ronin agrees with a smirk. And they've probably got a lot of backdated birthdays and anniversaries to work through; as soon as his mind is firing on all cylinders again, the Knight would be happy to tally them all up. For now, though, his main focus is on shifting away the talons at the end of his fingers so he might gently extract his hand from the shower tiles, offering a sheepish smile over his shoulder to Remi. "I'll replace those," he says of the broken tiles.

Laughing and letting himself lean further back into his husband's arms, the fresh, warm water is a balm against his skin, though he also feels the luxurious tug of sleep now that they've brought each other to the very edges of paradise and back. "With how we like to stretch out? We'd have so many fights," he murmurs, turning his head to press at least half a dozen kisses against Remi's cheek and curls and temple, before finally reaching out to turn off the shower. "Come on - at least bed is only a few feet away."

"Honestly, every day with you is special." Remi hums, and while on the one hand he's saying it just because he quite enjoys being sandwiched between two Ronin's, on the other it's the sort of thing he'd say on any given Tuesday as well.

Glancing blearily at the tiles and immediately shrugging, Remi drops several kisses against the top of Ronin's shoulder. "Maybe we could replace them with some stone from the Cordillera. Or the Greatwood." From places they'd lived before, or perhaps simply locations they enjoyed being. Maybe it was even a thing they could start doing; at least they'd have supplies on hand for impromptu renovations like this one.

"We never fight." The Bastion huffs indignantly as if someone else might have been listening in and judging the state of their marriage. Never mind the way the pair argued frequently about how much cuddling was too much when it came to falling asleep, and at what point Remi wrapping his feet around Ronin's could be considered hostile.

Grumbling dramatically as the spray of water dries up, Remi ruffles his hands through his curls in an attempt to dry them enough for bed, before stepping out of the shower and reaching for a towel. Tossing the first over his shoulder before handing the other to the Knight, Remi suddenly pauses, his mouth opening. "I just realized...do you know what today is?" He lifts his eyebrows. "It's the anniversary of the bi-annual moment when I told you that I loved you for the 43rd time." Also known as..
