SAMUEL
I am drowning
There is no sight of land
"I don't think even alchemy could stop you from running into the fight. ..It is something I love about you, anyway. Even if it is infuriating, sometimes. I know if I were ever in danger, you would come to my rescue." Sam had always admired Remi's bravery, his willingness to fight for the right thing, to save his friends. It was the kind of courage he lacked, the absolute dedication to something without the pause, the moment of hesitation.
He was unaware of Remi's eyes on him, would have objected if he'd known the compliments running through his mind. There would always be a part of him that felt small, inadequate, ugly. Luckily Remi did not say anything of it and he moved on without having to insert the insecurities of his past into the conversation.
Sam frowned in a 'isn't it obvious' way and leaned in close, kissed Remi's nose to return the little gesture. "Of course. You are everything I need, Remi. I don't...know how I could know you and not love you."
He supposed that yes, the fact that in this hypothetical scenario he'd chosen to get rid of the memories did matter, but... "We all make mistakes. Even...catastrophic ones. And believe me, it will have been a mistake. Something not thought through...I used to have the most horrible panic attacks, back then. Not anything planned, dear. Even in a dream, I wouldn't do that to you, I'd like to think."

You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
