to your room

Suddenly the stairs border the porch, and Remi can hear Ronin's voice clearly as he speaks from where he's slouched down. Glaring through tears that make the lake seem more glassy than it originally was, the alchemist bites back a sob of his own, tilting his head up slightly as if he might swallow it back down.

'I made it for us.' Remi says, the words both an explanation, a defence, and an apology. Fidgeting unhappily with the railing and unable to bring himself to turn around and see the anguish on Ronin's face, Remi just bites harder at the inside of his lip as everything he might want to say comes up impossible short. "She isn't a nightmare here.." He tries again, immediately clenching his teeth together for how incomplete the thought was.

"I can't let her go." Remi mumbles at last, the words shattering with emotion as he turns around to face his husband. Shaking his head, his cheeks blotchy and wet with tears, he stares hopelessly somewhere near Ronin's feet. I don't know what to do. He admits silently, his lips far too unsteady with emotion to speak.
