RONIN
the darkstar
light is easy to love.
Ronin glances across at Remi as he joins him, and for a moment they merely stand together, to men thrown to the wind by the gods, watching the stars go by. Scarred and too strong for most anyone but each other, they are, for a second or two, a perfect representation of the line Vi mentioned, and their proximity to one another on either side of it. "Then I think we ought to just be glad in the knowledge that it is done. You don't have to come back here on her behalf again, if that isn't what you want."
The Star steps closer, turning properly to Remi now so he might slip his arms around the alchemist's waist, leaning in for a kiss that's as slow and soft as if the whole world would stop to give them that time together. His fingers splay along Remi's lower back and whisper up the length of his spine, as though to cradle the scars that lurk beneath his clothes, and he writes silent I love yous with each flick of his tongue; promises written on lips that hold secrets too dangerous to share.
"I hope you know that I don't treat it lightly, that you have to keep this all to yourself - whatever it is," he murmurs. "But I know that even to mention it would invite an accidental slip up. I do think about it a lot, though. And I am sorry that it isn't a burden you can share."
