He likes this so much, these quiet moments when it's just the two of them, when they can do something as simple as walk home together and enjoy each other's company.
Ronan's not always easy to be with, and Adam knows he isn't either, and this place has a tendency to make everything worse. But this - them, the two of them, what they have - it does feel easy. Even if they bicker, or if things are difficult, just being with Ronan never takes sacrifice or pain. It's the best thing that Adam has here, and he thinks it wouldn't be any different at home, either.
Won't be any different. Because when they go back, they'll be together, too.]

Emotions don't work that way, or at least they don't always. But he knows now, he just doesn't know how to say it.]
