[Ronan hugs him back, almost without thinking about it. He hugs him like he can push all his joy into him, rubbing his back for a moment, and then just clapping him on the shoulder as they part. Ronan catches him by the shoulders and shakes him just a little.]

You guys are gonna be good, you know that right?

[He was a little jealous, if he was honest. It was what he'd seen in the hall at Aglionby, even if it hadn't had the word marriage attached to it then. But he'd seen the way that they fit together, like halves of one another. And so he-- fuck. He didn't know if he was jealous of the two boys that he liked, that he cared about, or jealous of that feeling. But he wasn't hurt, because Ronan had hurt himself. He'd walked away from Kavinsky, not the other way around. Their relationship- he was glad they had it. Adam needed it, but he thought Kavinsky probably did too. Less assured than he tried to seem in the quieter moments.]

I mean, it's you so I'm not completely surprised. [He elbows him just a little.] But uh.. does he want to?

[He was teasing, but also- you know, he was still interested. How could he not be?]
