inside, they pretended they would dream, but they did not. they sprawled on the living room sofa and adam studied the tattoo that covered ronan’s back: all the sharp edges that hooked wondrously and fearfully into each other.
“unguibus et rostro,” adam said.
ronan put adam’s fingers to his mouth.
he was never sleeping again.(insp)
hi i love you and this was fun but also. REALLY HARD. and there’s definitely more than 5 my bad.
1. ‘adam lived in an apartment located above the office of st. agnes catholic church, a fortuitous combination that focused most of the objects of ronan’s worship into one downtown block’ is gay poetry. Peak Gay. every time i think about this line i have to lie down.
2. ronan telling adam ‘maybe i dreamt you’…. what. the. fuck. ive honestly never heard anything so romantic in all my life.
3. after ronan kisses adam for the first time and then goes up to the roof to put his arms in the air and think about how he’d caught happiness…. s o f t.
4. that time ronan spends all day thinking about how much he hates school but then he catches a glimpse of adam’s wrist and later is flirted with for 0.2 seconds and is like oh wow i love school.
5. tbh every time he had an existential crisis about adam’s hands. the time he touched adam’s hand and the ocean burned. the time he stroked adam’s hands under the pretence of making sure they were fine after the weird demon thing. when he made out with adam for 5 minutes tops before he had to put his fingers to his mouth.
6. when ronan doesn’t wanna speak to declan so he decides to pretend to be asleep but for some reason thinks the way to do this is drape himself all over adam i just…. why, ronan, why?
7. dreaming adam up gifts that he couldn’t possibly give him in person so he has to find a way to leave them somewhere for him to find is like…. the epitome of being Gay.
8. after ronan crashes the shopping cart with adam he is profoundly happy…. which is also soft as hell.
anyways i couldnt narrow this down and 6, 7, 8 aren’t in order because they kept swapping around in my head but the point is. i love ronan lynch. an absolute disaster and not always the Smoothest but he got the boy!!
I hope when Adam loses his hearing in the tv show, right on the impact of his head hitting the railing, everything goes silent and there’s just a deafening white noise covering the sound of Robert Parrish yelling, and when the sound goes back to normal it’s from the impact of Ronan’s fist into Robert’s face as we get a scene change from Adam to Ronan.
i think the best thing that trk opal confirmed was that adam and ronan are still in many ways the same teenage boys who dragged each other about on a moving dolly and crashed a shopping cart together. even after all they’ve been through they still want to run about like a pair of hooligans, yelling and throwing things into an accidental fire instead of y’know being concerned that an actual building is on fire, and they still want to dig a pool at the barns and splash and jump (and kiss!) in it, and they still want to invent their own games to play together. it’s so important that life has been shit and hard for them, that they’ve both felt and still do feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, but as adam and ronan experience their first proper romance, as they fall in love for the first time, they get to be teenage boys who just want to play and have fun with each other.

The day Adam Parrish became friends with Ronan Lynch must have been the absolute worst day of every single Aglionby teachers’ life.
here’s some cute pynch hcs because @adamparrishes wanted them:
- adam is really good at flirting with ronan, and he does it a lot. it’s not always smooth, and at the beginning of their relationship it used to start with an embarrassed smile or be accompanied by a laugh, but as they grow to know each other more, adam develops an uncanny ability of saying the exact right thing at the exact right time to make ronan’s cheeks dust with red or to make ronan break into a grin
- ronan rolls his eyes sometimes even when he can’t fight off a smile, and other times he just grabs adam and kisses him. but at any rate, it always has the required effect
- ronan is terrible at flirting. he’s great at the smirks and the heated looks, and he can tell adam he’s beautiful and gorgeous any day of the week, but actual flirting? the boy is a disaster. he still tries tho, and it always gets a grin (or better yet a laugh) out of adam
- ronan sees that it sometimes still takes adam by surprise when ronan says something dumb and cheesy to him, so he plans on saying enough dumb and cheesy things that adam gets used to being (terribly) flirted with
- it also really helps that ronan has two modes of delivering his lines: he either does it with a serious tone bordering on being deadpan, or he does it with a shit-eating grin bc he knows how bad his one liners are
- considering the shopping carts and dragging a dolly behind a car, the flirting is no different than all the other dumb silly things ronan has done before to get a laugh out of adam… and it has the added bonus of no scabs and them kissing with twin smiles
- however when ronan is just being painfully honest about how beautiful he finds his boyfriend, and not actively trying to flirt, adam is a goner. he feels his cheeks heating up with ronan’s words and the way he just looks at adam, and the heat spreads down to his neck and chest when ronan traces the flush on adam’s cheekbones with his thumps
- that also ends in kissing and on one memorable occasion it ended up with them pulling up to the side of the road so adam could get out of the driver’s seat to make out with his bf
- the comment probably had to do with something about how gorgeous adam looks while he’s driving. idk ronan lynch has weird kinks y’all
- basically adam is great at flirting and ronan sucks at it but one time ronan delivers a perfect line flirting with adam and adam, grinning, gives him a high five. bc they’re still dumb bestfriends after all
