"Not to me." Remi said in a low voice, teeth clenching as he looked at the floor, his jaw feathering unhappily. It had once mattered so much to the alchemist to know for sure, whether the summoner had or hadn't. Whether Remi was just a strange and boring conquest. Now though? For all the pain it had caused, and was likely still to cause? Maybe ignorance would have been bliss.
"You are the artist, so I will leave that to you." Remi said, falling far too easily into their banter before stiffening slightly. "I think I may have done something incredibly stupid, though. At the time I thought.." Stopping his rambling, Remi moved to stand before his husband, holding out his hands for the king to take. No doubt the next words out of Ronin's mouth would of course be what did you do, or some variation thereof, so the alchemist merely continued on.
"Let..me say this before you react. Please." Never before had the alchemist had to plead with his husband, but the rising anxiety that trickled feathers down his spine and through his curls was Remi's heart's way of telling him that he'd made a grave error in judgement, even if his mind hadn't quite caught up yet.
"I love you. Forever. No matter what, unconditionally. If my memories of you were even taken.." Letting his un-shattered gaze rise to the ceiling, Remi smiled uncomfortably and shook his head. "I would still love you. Somehow. I would. " Biting hard on the inside of his lip, he let his eyes fall back down to Ronin's wanting to drown in the staggering blue depths he saw there. Though as a solace or a punishment, he didn't know. "I ... love him that way." Remi continued, heat blazing across his cheeks, his fingers trembling slightly but hopefully held in his husband's grip. "I am not in love with him by any means. If anything, all this time together especially while you have been away has shown that." Swallowing hard, Remi so badly wanted this to be done. The conversation to be over. But it wasn't. There was the last bit of information he needed to relay. "That was what Loren said made it impossible to be friends. And I...I suppose with how everything is gone, I just did not see it. I am with you, and you are the only one that I want. And so..I..."
Okay. Now, standing before Ronin, tears forming in his eyes, he did understand just what a stupid thing he'd done.
"I..told him to kiss me. Not that I would have let him." He added in a rush. "Not that I wanted him to. If only to prove that he wouldn't, and I wouldn't, and it would be..." fine?
