and it rains, and rains, and rains

lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground

Starlight and ghostly vapours do make an interesting pairing, and might have continued to do so had the minds which were creating them not been entirely distracted by each other.

Dodging and weaving as his husband tosses star bolts of light at him, Remi dramatically feigns being hit, allowing himself to flit downwards, with both hands over his stomach as if to hide a wound. When he's quite certain his husband is watching, he reveals that all along he's simply been nursing his middle finger, which he thrusts in Ronin's direction with a triumphant grin. "You were, but you were doing a rather shit job of it, so I thought I'd catch you instead."

So saying, he waggles his fingers at his husband. Ronin might have his own ways of being distracting, but so does Remi. With clawed fingers he slices through the material of his underwear, balling up the cloth and throwing it towards Ronin. "Now I'm really breaking the law." He sings, before flapping his wings and turning his body to carry him towards their cottage, his ass lily-white in the moonlight.
