the lullaby

i don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think they'd understand

Whatever pain there should be has been chased away by the cold, but even once he warms up and his neck and lower back brag of their war wounds, Remi won't mind. Exhaling shaky breaths that gradually become more and more even, the alchemist's eyes crack open skeptically as he gazes up into the Huntsman's face. A boyish part of him wants to say no u, while other parts just want to shake their heads and decline to be viewed in such a way. Instead, Remi meets his husband's eyes with a joy-weary smile, wanting suddenly to run his fingertips across Ronin's eyelashes. "I am only for you." He whispers sweetly. "And you are all for me."

These weren't the vows they'd made so many years ago, and in fact, the things they said to one another now (and even in their darkest moments), were far more true and binding. Remi loved Ronin, for that.

Grumbling something indistinct under his breath as they part, each having to deal with their own messiness, Remi glances up and nods emphatically. "I think I would like to stop wearing clothes altogether for a little while." He says with a laugh, heaving himself off of the snowbank and tottering slightly on his feet. Reaching out a hand both to steady himself and to anchor Ronin against him once again, Remi leans forward to press a kiss just to the side of Ronin's mouth. "I love you more than anything."

when everything's meant to be broken,
i just want you to know who I am
