i'd bring you further roses
"Ianto!" Remi said with an indignant laugh. Though as his gaze searched the lines of his friend's face and he saw something like genuine curiosity or confusion there, the mirth fell away and Remi found himself similarly running his hand through the scruff on his cheek with a sigh.
"I just..." Taking a breath, Remi looked down at the cup before him, watching the way his breath caused gentle ripples to form. "There was a man here that I was...with—" So saying, the alchemist's eyes were locked on the cup, not wanting to see Ianto's reaction to his words. "—and when I lost my memories of him he..he did not take it this well. Actually, after Ronin died he decided to erase all memories of me in response. I think he thought it was a helpful thing to do." Remi admitted, ruffling a hand through his curls and turning a shy and uncertain gaze towards the fox before continuing. "He asked one day if I wanted to know him after that...and I said no. With Loren too, from what I have heard, were he to come back I do not think I would want to know him. But.."
Biting the inside of his lip hard enough to keep the smile spurred on by tentative affection and fear from shakily spreading, Remi hazarded a glance up in earnest now. "...but I do want to know you again." His finger traced a circle around the top of the cup. "That is all I meant."
Which was of course not a no to the question that had been asked of him.
