Summary
“Adam,” Ronan says. Adam startles at the use of his first name, but he turns to look at Ronan. With the soft glow of moonlight reaching through the stained glass, Ronan’s eyes sparkle something softer than he would let himself appear in the daytime. “Just because I believe, doesn’t mean you need to.”
Adam blinks.
He thinks of the little six year old boy hiding away from a god-fearing man, and he thinks of the thirteen year old burning from the inside as he looks at another boy’s smile, and he thinks of himself, now, sitting here and cursing god for creating Adam in the first place.
“I don’t,” he says bluntly. “If there is a god, he’s not a gentle one.”
Ronan runs his thumb over the curve of Adam’s cheek. “Then don’t believe,” he says. “Make your own god.”
Adam laughs, Ronan’s soft words of blasphemy echoing throughout the stone cathedral walls.
Make your own god.
Adam looks at Ronan, beautifully alive in the darkness of the cathedral.
Maybe he will.

Summary
Ronan’s sleepiness was disappearing fast, blue eyes sharpening into shards of ice as they took him in. Adam was acutely aware of the blood in his hair, the hunch to his shoulders that he couldn’t straighten out and still be able to breathe properly, the bruises on his arm hidden under one measly layer of thin cotton blend, the blank fear no doubt on his face.
He expected Ronan to say something. To yell, maybe. About the blood and the bruises and the fear, or about Adam breaking into Monmouth, or a million other things because Ronan liked yelling and was never short on excuses for it. But he didn’t. He just stood there, ramrod straight in his bedroom doorway, so tense that Adam could see the clench of his stomach muscles.
Adam swallowed. “I was just gonna borrow y’all’s shower before second. If you don’t mind.”

Summary
Quackity hesitates, half surprise, and half quiet revolt, surprise. “Why did you come here, Sapnap, to my country? Why me?”
When Sapnap speaks again, his voice is barely a whisper, choked quiet with tears.
“You’re the only other person I trust to keep them safe. I- I can’t do it on my own anymore.” Sapnap says, voice quiet. “Please Q. Let them stay here. Just for one night, and then they’ll be gone, out of your hair. I need to know they’re safe.”
//
Or, its been forever, but Sapnap is on Quackity's doorstep in Nevadas, with nowhere else to go
