( he'd better kiss adam, because it's three something am and he's rolling over onto ronan to. squint down at him, one hand curling into a fist and pressing the side of it against his shoulder. )
( he touched kavinsky. he knows how shit he feels on the inside, below all that surface level bullcrap. adam was never involved with him, not like ronan, but he still can't say literally any of it was a surprise. kavinsky was a seventeen year old disaster; an addict, an asshole, the guy people went to when they wanted something and adam can't imagine it was ever kavinsky himself that they were after. )
[ how could it? he died at his lowest moment. second chances don't just happen. you don't wake up and shrug off all your damage and become a new man. it lingers, like scabs slowly turning into scars. every wrong move tears you open anew. ]
( it's fine. no one else can hear him call out ronan. )
Because you watched him die before, didn't you? And he's like you. You don't want to leave him here on his own because you know he'll just end up getting himself into shit he shouldn't be in. And you also know you can't stop him, because he'll do whatever he wants regardless. But at least you can try and offer him somewhere he can come to when it all comes crashing down around him again.
( fingers moving from ronan's shoulder down to his chest, over his heart. taps twice against him as adam shifts up to press a kiss against his chin. )
