    Summary

    “Do you know where you want it?”

    Adam does know. He knew that before he knew exactly what design he’d settle on. He wants it to go in that place where Ronan always seems to be holding on to him for dear life.

    The night of their first kiss, after everyone else was gone, Ronan had looked at him across the porch and said his name with such tender anticipation and hope that it answered all of the questions swirling around in Adam’s overworked mind. He’d practically launched himself at Ronan, like he was jumping into a lake, and Ronan had caught him about the waist and held him close while they explored the tilting, drowning feeling of it together. And ever since, whenever Ronan needs Adam he holds him there, fingers curled tightly just above his hip, grounding Adam and steadying him and keeping him upright when everything else in the world seems to want to knock them both down.

    He pulls up his shirt and grips at that place where their connection always feels like it runs through him at its strongest and most steady. “About here?”

    . . .

    (The one where Adam gets a tattoo and there's a lot of dialogue and feelings and dialogue about feelings.)

    Summary

    “Yeah? Which was the big guy downstairs? Because my good Catholic upbringing didn’t make the distinction.”

    Out of nervous habit, Ronan brings his wrist up to his mouth and chews on the leather bands there. He’s been wearing them and chewing on them since he was sixteen. It’s a wonder there’s anything left to them at all. He feels the same way about his good Catholic upbringing.

    “I think,” Adam says, quiet now. “That he wasn’t very nice, but that he wasn’t ever given a reason to be. I think it was self-defense.” It’s an explanation that sounds both close to home and far away. He looks up and out the window. His gaze gets caught there, distracted for the first time since they started.

    Ronan looks as well, but it’s dark out now and all he can see is the shadow box reflection of the room against the black behind. Set against the rest of it, Adam’s hunched over reflection looks small and dark. Ronan is little more than a few swaths of stark negative space cut against the white glow. Neither of them has a halo.

    (Or, that one where Adam is an art major and Ronan agrees to model for a sculpture of Satan.)

    Summary

    “Anyway, a little bit about me: I’m a law student and I am originally from –“ Ronan makes a rude noise, so Adam stops talking and instead just asks, “What?”

    “Nothing, no. It’s just very telling that’s what you start with.” Ronan says with a grin that makes Adam’s eyes narrow. “Fuck, Declan’s gonna love that. Any chance you can convince him you voted for Trump?”

    Adam just keeps staring at him until he shrugs and looks away, “Hmm, it was worth a shot.”

    “So if it’s not to impress your family with my glowing CV, then why am I here?”

    “Blue said she had a friend who was willing to do this and that you were hands – ah.” He pauses awkwardly and very resolutely keeps his eyes on the road, “Would be handsomely paid for your services. You know how she cares about shit like that.”

    “Right, right.” Adam drawls.

     

    or, Ronan needs a date, Adam needs the money - somehow, they make it work.

    Summary

    Adam reacted with the thumbs-down emoji and put the phone down. He didn't just talk to boys with nice eyelashes. What would he even say? Excuse me. Did you know there's something alive about the air around you? You couldn't just say that to a stranger. His fingertips were itching for his tarot deck.

    (ronan's just a stranger in a coffee shop, but adam has the power to sense magic)
