[Ronan wasn't the only one. Kavinsky kissed him like it might be the last time he ever got to do it. Maybe it was cruel, in hindsight, to kiss a boy you cared about and might not be able to date. Maybe it hurt Ronan but- but Kavinsky couldn't help it. He cared about him and Adam had said this was okay. That was the important part of it, that Adam said he could do this.

When Ronan pulled back, Kavinsky tried to chase his mouth for a moment before realizing how emotional he was. Fuck but it made K want to kiss him again, kiss away his tears, kiss him until he smiled. He refrained though, no matter how much he wanted to.

Sucking in a breath, he nodded.]

Yeah, okay. That part's easy.

[He was teasing but it was fond and not meant to be cruel.]

Adam said I could kiss you. He said we could talk about it if I- if you wanted me back.

[He watched Ronan for a moment after he said that. Kavinsky was sharp and not just in dangerous ways. He'd picked up on how intent Ronan had been a few moments ago. He was especially serious about not hurting Adam. And there was more to it than that. Adam had told K he'd driven Ronan's car for his driver's exam.

Gently, he added.]

So, how do you feel about Adam?
