it's a long way home

cut up our losses into doable doses

ration our tears and sighs

That smile hurt. It cut down to the quick and farther still. It cut through all the layers and seasons that had made Remi the man he was now, to just a simple soul that had fallen so in love with his best friend that he had hardly realized it. It wasn't just that Ronin suddenly looked as devilishly handsome as he always had, with a smirk that made Remi's knees weak, but only now did Remi realize how long it had been since he'd seen it last. With the spire and the fae, the blight and the juggling of crowns. It was always something, and though their wedding had been one of the sweetest moments of his life, not even marital bliss had been allowed to last.

With a throat too full of emotion to say much of anything, Remi merely sighed lovingly, letting his eyes close against the bright halo of colour surrounding his husband as he nodded. "Whatever happens." He agreed, clearly his throat against the thick and foggy sound of his voice.
