Love mends even the broken parts
The frozen tears on Remi’s cheeks would’ve moved Loren, once upon a time. Now, though, they were just a reflection of his soul, an outward expression of what the Launceleyn felt like. Except instead of sorrow, his heart was just cold. As the alchemist stooped down to pick up the amulet the summoner had dropped, Loren placed one hand on the door, figuring they were done here. However, he’d moved too soon, as the other man still had words left to say, apparently.
Considering that the alchemist had already broken his promise to stay away once before, the Launceleyn obviously wasn’t going to trust in that. The final question from Remi was surprising, though perhaps it shouldn’t have been, given who it was.
Loren didn’t answer for a long time, expression unreadable, icy blue eyes staring straight ahead, almost unblinking. When he finally spoke, his voice was dark and low. ”Yes. But I’m not sure I can trust that what you want won’t get in the way again.” That was the truth as well, because ever since his return, the alchemist had let his own desires influence their interactions as much, if not more, than the Launceleyn’s had. All Loren had wanted was for Remi to be happy, and even though the summoner had made mistakes and blunders and failed in that, his intentions had been pure.
He wasn't so sure the same could be said of the other man's.
