arms give away your need
Ronin keeps his arm around his husband, giving him a gentle squeeze as they head down the hallway together. Given that he doesn’t know the nursery in nearly as much detail as Remi, there’s not nearly as much trepidation in stepping into the darkened room. There’s definitely an urge to rush over and soothe the screaming, as tiny lungs make their upset very apparent to the new parents.
Heading to the crib, Ronin lets Remi go so he can check on his... their... it still feels too strange to think, let alone say. But there’s no denying that the squalling newborn in the crib belongs to them, boasting one helluva voice and a few perfect curls. Their - his - eyes will still be that vague baby-grey right now, Ronin knows, but he can’t help but wonder if they’ll be blue or green.
Red faced and becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of attention, the boy (naturally) doesn’t stop his screaming until Ronin reaches in to carefully scoop him up, and he glances at Remi like he might have gone crazy. He trusts the Lullaby to tell him, if he’s rocking a bundle of blankets instead of a child.
