arms give away your need
Ronin has already risen to his feet, his fingers raking through his hair as he takes a long, deep breath, as if it might clear his soul. ”I don’t know,” he whispers honestly, not daring to look back at Remi because it means he might look at Mateo, and if he does that then he might pick him up and refuse to leave. The worst part is that he’s not even doing it for the child - he’s doing it for Remi.
”I’m sorry.” He doesn’t exactly know what for, only that he is, and he feels it deeply and keenly in his bones. ”Stay,” he says again, wiping at his eyes and turning back to the other man at last. ”Make sure he’s safe. I’ll come back, when I’m able to. We’ll figure this all out, Remi. Okay?”
