[After ghosting Kavinsky for the better part of a week, the first contact he gets is this:]
ive kidnapped skov & swan & were gonna have a party without you
hope youre prepared to pay ransom else im not giving them back
[It's a good sign, even if it is an odd way to say hey ive missed you. But the sentiment is there, behind the threat that's a joke and true all at the same time. Kavinsky can probably tell that he's certainly high.
But it means that Ronan is with Skov and Swan, by his own choice, and apparently enjoying their company enough that it somehow has him in a pleasant mood. Enough so that he actually texted Kavinsky first without provocation, in what might be a brand new turn for their relationship. Ronan's mood always skews dark when he stays away, which usually means he's sharp as a blade when he slides back to Kavinsky's side. Even after their worst fights, eventually he's so miserable he can't help himself, can't keep denying what he wants. So he ends up responding when the other boy baits him with cars or drinks or the prospect of something on fire.
Ronan's even polite enough to pull this when there's still an hour or so before the earliest of party-goers starts showing up for Kavinsky's revelries. Although, that's probably just fortune rather than Ronan developing a sudden affliction of good behavior.
He isn't seem at all inclined to admit to what it was that scared him off in the first place. But that's just Ronan; no matter the day or the hour. He never acknowledges it without pressure, without some clever application of charm. It's easier for them both to just let it fade away into the night. Just accept that he's as mercurial as Irish weather, but that he always finds his way back.]
