my heart is yours to break

& right now all your dreams are waking up

"Gods, it's a good thing one of us is staying grounded and humble." The alchemist replies with an adoring roll of his eyes. Ronin isn't wrong at all, but his phrasing screams Baron, and Remi is once again reminded of just how classist Stormbreak is.

Turn to watch Remi does indeed, and it's probably for the best that it ends in Ronin stumbling forward, for already there are places in Remi's body that refuse to listen to reason, that are all too keen to help the Star limber up. 'Ronin Talieswan." The alchemist says, trying to hide how flustered he already feels behind a laugh.

'I don't know why this feels so..' But he doesn't know the word for it. Weird? New? High stakes? Strange? Hopeful? But as Remi looks at his husband's offered hand, butterflies take flight in his stomach and he's suddenly incredibly self-conscious about whether or not his palms might be sweaty or if his hands are too rough. Laughing nervously, Remi slips his hand into Ronin's, but can't quite relax into the feeling. Not immediately anyway. 'I both love and hate this.' The alchemist admits, hesitantly raising his eyes to Ronin from where they'd settled near his elbow.
