a house full of whispers

REMI

the lullaby

kidnap me from my reality
& crushed pieces of my soul

Rubbing at his hair, anxiousness and a strange sort of nervousness making his fingers stiff as the rake through his curls, Remi can only nod sheepishly. "I don't like saying goodbye to you." He admits. "And I don't like missing you. Not like this." It all feels so incredibly hopeless, that the Lullabye has to resist the urge to ball his fingers into fists. Instead, he allows a slow rumble of thunder to purr in the distance as he softens, gazing sadly at Ronin instead. "And leave you all alone up there? To run things?" Remi shakes his head. "Now a third projection.." He jokes, as if his loneliness and torment in this dreamworld was some sort of shortcoming on Ronin's part.

Gods how he loves this man. This man who never tries to change him. Who lets him feel all of his complicated and dangerous emotions. Placing a calloused hand over Ronin's, Remi nods with a feral sort of determination.

Part of him hopes that it was intentional, that there might be a target for his rage. If it's all just..happenstance? Again?

"I remember what it was like. When you were blighted. I remember the optimism at the start...and how it waned. How I thought I was going to lose you." Swallowing, Remi's fingers press between Ronin's that he might peel the Star's hand off of his chest to hold it between his. "I know how this feels." The frustration. The grief. The guilt. The determination. "It seems as though most of our friends have this as well..and I can only imagine what that is like. But I didn't talk to anyone about how I was feeling when I was alone." Pressing his lips to Ronin's knuckles, the Lullaby exhales softly. "Don't make my mistake."
