Summary
“I don’t drink,” Adam said.
Ronan didn’t know what this guy was doing at a frat house party if he didn’t drink, but Ronan was here and wasn’t fraternizing.
“Okay.”
Adam looked Ronan over then, scrutinizing. Ronan smoothed his face to blaize uncaring, which was an easy look to put on. It was one of his well-practiced masks
“You don’t have something to say about that? Everyone always has something to say about that.”
A few years ago, Ronan would’ve taken that bait, but it wasn’t a few years ago.
“It’s your life, man.”
Something shifted in Adam’s expression. Under all the caginess a spark of warmth. Ronan had passed a test.

Summary
“Come home with me,” Ronan said.
Adam turned to look. The side of Ronan’s face was smushed into the pillow in a way that was sort of adorable, too soft for his hard exterior. Adam stuttered out: “What?”
Ronan shrugged the shoulder not pressed into the mattress. “It’s not a big deal,” Ronan said, although Adam definitely disagreed. “Think of it as… me opening my heart to fucking pathetic loser who has nowhere to go for Thanksgiving.”
Adam threw his pen at him.
--The 2nd part of my non-magic, alternative first meeting, they met in college, pynch series... in which Adam goes home with his boyfriend for Thanksgiving even though they haven't been dating that long and people have emotional damage to deal with but come out on the other side stronger.

Summary
“I have thought about it,” Ronan said, dropping his chin to stare at Adam. “A lot. The future… I see it, and you’re there. I’m a veterinarian, and you’re a lawyer-slash-engineer, and we argue about whose turn it is to take out the trash. We live in this stupid house that’s probably a fixer upper so it’s always in the fucking middle of a renovation project, but even after we could move out, we stay. Because by that time, we’ve already invested our goddamn heart and souls into it.”
