my heart is yours to break

RONIN

the darkstar

light is easy to love.

"I just figured that it was because of Seren," Ronin murmurs, passing both hands through his dark hair and pressing his eyes shut. "Or because of anything else she's done, over the time since I came back from the stars and now." Because there's a lot of it, and even Ronin can admit that. His hands move now to rub at the back of his neck, and slowly he turns to gaze at his husband. Ronin is only in a pair of sweatpants, but at least one of them is sort of dressed.

"Ludo made the deal with you," he says, hesitant and unsure because... well, he has no idea what Remi is hiding, and whilst he wants to help, he can't risk their son. "Perhaps you could ask it to adjust the terms...? And I think I ought to say more about her, honestly. It feels like walking on eggshells, waiting for the right time to drop her name into conversation." And that's no way for either of them to live.

Slouching to lean against the wall nearest the bed, it almost breaks Ronin's heart to hear Remi speak; partially because he's correct and partially because wanting to fix it is precisely the sort of bullshit that has patched over reality for so long now. "No time," he agrees, letting out a shaky sigh. "Yeah... there's just... no time to breathe anymore, is there. To figure out what to do, or who we are..."

show me your darkness.
