Summary
"You said the other day that you like me.”
Ronan turns those nearly colorless eyes on Adam. “You said that.”
“You didn’t deny it.”
Ronan looks away.
“I wasn’t sure." Those texts he’d sent out, unanswered for days, burned him worse than he could have prepared for.
“Need to record your hypothesis and observations before you come to a conclusion, Parrish?” It sounds hurt. Ronan takes a breath. “You could, you know. Explore this, or what the fuck ever, if you need to do it, to know. You could do…anything you want to me.”
Ronan’s skin turns ruddy, first right above his collarbone, then his neck.
Out of control, Adam steps forward. “It would be…awkward in school if something happened between us.”
“Who the fuck would I tell?” It’s hypothetical, and the longer Adam watches him, the more defenseless Ronan looks, the more uncertain.
“Can I?” It's a question that means more to Adam than Ronan could possibly know. Adam Parrish never asked for anything in his life. He’d learned that very early on. Only now, was it something he was actively practicing.
Ronan’s breath comes harsh through his nose. He jerks his head once.
Adam kisses him.
