the shape of your name

the lullaby

And if the sky grows heavy
wrap your arms around me tight; we'll be alright

Remi awakens not in bed, but half upon a couch that he promptly falls off of. With a thud and then a groan, the alchemist hisses in a breath, having used his blistered and burned hands to brace himself, thus removing even more layers of skin from his palms. Blinking hard, he turns with an expression that's dazed and slow. For a man who, in battle, can roll quite easily with whatever comes at him, Remi is shockingly undone by the fact that Ronin has fallen asleep on the couch.

"Hey." He mumbles softly, as if this is what will wake Ronin up and not his sudden appearance and fall. "What are you doing out here?" Still smelling of the sea and the storm he'd just come from, the alchemist tilts his cheek toward his shoulder, having to constantly remind himself not to reach out for Ronin, injured as he is.

If the ground gives way beneath us,
If we should fall to pieces
Find me where I first found you

RONIN

the darkstar

I'll wait up for you is not a rule that they follow in the Taliesin household. Indeed, much of the time in order for Ronin to be up for his husband coming home, he first has to put himself to sleep. And so, after establishing with Remi what time he expects to be back, the Star has meandered about their apartment and has subsequently passed out on the couch. The rest, as they say, is history.

Grunting his surprise at Remi appearing and instantly flopping to the floor, Ronin misses the blisters on his hands at first, only noticing them when he reaches out to brush affectionate fingers across his counterpart's cheek. Taking him in properly, his brows furrow at the burns and skin stripped pink. "I didn't mean to," he says through a yawn. "I was just resting my eyes. What happened?"
