I will fight the end
However much his husband's physique might have changed during their time together, Ronin had no complaints about holding Remi up as the other man sagged against him. He held him all the closer, the warmth and emotion and the sense that this was real felt so much like coming home that he would struggle to let go, whenever that might be. "Angry is easy," he agreed with a sad nod, his fingers teasing through Remi's curls, his other arm still wrapped tightly around him. "Believe me when I say I understand." He understood the temptation, he understood the rage.
And more than that, he understood, too, what it was to be given purpose by something above his station. That it was Ludo, however, had his breath stuttering a little, and he squeezed the wedding ring tightly in his hand. "Can you trust it?" he asked quietly. He didn't bother to ask if Remi wanted it - would he have brought it up, otherwise?
