Sure does. But he's so much more than an asshole or a punk.
[And Skov might have been a brat sometimes but he was Kavinsky's friend and all of his friends were special and important, even if he wasn't the best at showing it or telling them. There might have been a time when he'd been into Skov but he could definitely appreciate how attractive he was either way. Kavinsky himself was loyal and wouldn't cheat on anyone but he still had eyes. There was nothing wrong with appreciating someone else's attractiveness, he figured. It was acting on it that caused problems.
And then Ronan said he'd pick Kavinsky over anyone and K felt warm and pleased. It wasn't often people chose him--though his boys chose him all the time, it was different. It wasn't romantic. This was romantic. There was a difference in being friends with someone versus wanting to date them. Just saying 'you're the one' made ridiculous things like wedding rings pop to mind. If only he was so lucky.]
If it's just Skov, I wouldn't mind. 'Cause he's my friend and we respect each other. Swan's the jealous type though but he hasn't punched you yet, so maybe he'd be cool with it, too.
[Neither of them would try to steal the other's boyfriend from them; Kavinsky was certain of that. Though he was a little nervous (which he'd never admit to), he trusted both Skov and Ronan. He trusted Swan, too, and the rest of his boys. They all wanted each other to be happy.]
But yeah, ask him. Skov, I mean. And Swan too, probably.
[The worst that could happen was Skov said no, but then Ronan would still have Kavinsky and that was the important part, right?
Snuggling up against Ronan, Kavinsky draped an arm around him. Things were almost too good to be true right now but he knew they were real. He knew when he was dreaming and when he wasn't.]
And you're sweet.
[Beneath the barbs and blades and sharp edges and bruised knuckles. Ronan was a soft center wrapped in barbed wire and Kavinsky had fought his way through to reach that center. It hadn't always been easy and it hadn't always been pretty but it'd been worth it. Kavinsky wouldn't trade anything he had with Ronan for anything else in the world.]
