Unsure what his husband is looking for, what he’s trying to find, Ronin merely rolls with the punches, punctuating his kisses with tongue and teeth and clasping the Alchemist close as he pulls away, his lips trailing across a bare shoulder instead as if to try and find what’s wrong so he can make it better. Still, despite all that is happening, Ronin can never say Remi is stupid for feeling the way he does, and he leans into the kiss against his cheek, the head that drops on his shoulder.
”That’s where the line should be,” he agrees, nose buried in the Alchemist’s curls, his hand fumbling for the discarded blanket that he might draw it over them, wrapping them up against the world. ”So that’s where the line is for us.” The Star is glowing softly, pulsing with a mix of concern and love, and he spends a moment or so merely holding Remi against him, relishing all the things that didn’t need words to say as calloused hands wander, looking to calm and comfort.
”You know,” he whispers after a while, ”I don’t care what anyone else says, or even how much you think you’ve changed. You’re still the sweetest man I’ve ever met.” Exhaling a deep sigh, he mulls over the situation they find themselves in. ”Do you ever think that you struggle so hard with this sort of thing because of your missing memories?”
