i've seen fire & i've seen rain.
i've seen sunny days that i thought would never end

Remi laughed a touch breathlessly at that, as the sob he'd been holding back morphed into something happy in the back of his throat. He could have made them both new rings of course, but there was something significant about Ronin putting in the work to keep what they had rather than hand-waving magic at it to solve their problem. Remi couldn't quite put it into words, but he felt it thrum mightly in his bones and he clung to the hunter all the more tightly for it.
Feeling both weaker and stronger each moment he stood wrapped in Ronin's embrace, the armour he'd cast around himself dissolved by tears and the evidence of an unconditional love he'd thought was just a promised platitude. Rather than causing him to stiffen, Ronin's words weakened the alchemist even further. Sagging against the hunter, his fingers wandering the familiar topography of his shoulders and back as if reacquainting himself with this landscape he knew so well might help to ground him in the here and now, he nodded dully.
"I feel like I've already lost myself to this. I'm just so..angry Ronin. All the time. I said I felt nothing, but it was a lie. I've never felt this way before...and it's so tempting to want to be consumed by it. So much easier to be angry than kind given all that has happened." Pulling back if only so that his words wouldn't be lost in the crook of Ronin's neck, Remi offered his husband a weak smile. "Every day feels like going through the motions. I look forward to nothing. I want nothing. I care about nothing." Save for you, the sadness in his eyes said as he slowly shook his head.
"Ludo...it...it offered to give me purpose, if I wanted it."
