He doesn't make that easy. [ Spoken wryly, with a brow lifted, and a glance shot back to the boy in question, just now remembering that ronan is soaked head to toe. right, about that. ] He was pissing me off, so I threw him in the tub. Sorry.
[ you're not the only one who finds his beautiful, stupid face impossible, okay? andyr doesn't need to be holding adam's hand anymore, no, and he feels awkward still doing it, but some part of him feels like it's needed. stoic as the both of them both are, they're still deeply emotional things, and adam seems spun out of control. something andyr knows he can't come to terms with well, so he tries to do what he'd done for ronan, and just anchor for the moment. ]
He needs to know you're not hurting yourself with this. [ which, perhaps, is the inherent problem, because adam clearly was hurting from it before. unless they can find a way for this to happen without costing one or the other of them, it isn't going to work. that brings him around to what he's suspecting is the linchpin of this for adam - the thought he's lacking in some way, and that andyr is a bandaid for that. andyr's head bows a little closer, voice quiet as his head tips to search adam's features. ] And you need to know that you're already enough.
[ in the same way ronan has to trust adam that he's everything for him, adam needs to trust that he can be all that ronan needs. some things more difficult that others, perhaps, but it's the willingness to try that makes the availability of it. ]
