See yourself through my eyes

Strangely, most of Remi’s friends had seen him naked in one capacity or another. It was usually not intentional, but nor had the alchemist ever been particularly shy of his body. No Adonis was Remi, but nor was he unnecessarily modest when it came to his body. Having hardly noticed the slight slipping of his towel revealing the crease of his hip, he sucked in a surprised sort of gasp as Sam’s hand without hesitation reached with a trajectory that appeared to be headed directly between his legs. Completely unable to move in any sort of way to defend or question (leaving the question of whether he would have moved out of the way if he could, entirely unanswered), Remi watched with something like amazement as the ascended merely adjusted the fabric. With a bashful sort of laugh, Remi smiled slyly and nodded. “Sorry about that.” He mumbled, feeling a twinge of heat rushing into his cheeks. As Sam sat next to him on the bed, Remi winced as the mattress moved, finding himself unable to turn towards the man. Awkwardly he tried to look over his shoulder, but given the straightenness his torso demanded, it felt strangely like trying to have a conversation with someone who remained in your peripheral vision. “I would not have been able to hold that bear off on my own, had you not joined me. And collapsed earth or not, I would have died in those woods had you not brought me here. Besides—” Remi added with a shallow laugh that made him wince in pain, “I am a commoner after all. A little dirt is not something I am unused to.” Wanting very much to turn towards Sam and finding himself frustrated by his complete inability to twist his body, Remi gripped the handle he was holding as he released an annoyed breath, finally relaxing his shoulders with a resolved sigh. “Sam.” He said softly, but sternly, pulling the man’s hand onto his lap and clasping it beneath both of his. “You saved me.” He repeated. “You.” With a laugh that sounded easy, but was actually quite painful, Remi let his curly head droop as a grin spread across his lips. “I suppose I owe you an apology as well.” He said with a sly smile, glancing sideways at Sam. “As far as second dates go, I think that was probably about as bad as it could have gone.” remi I always forget that you can't read my mind
