hellooooo just wanted to say that la verse is the best thing i have ever read. going into it i did not know that it was a part of a series. i thought it was a standalone fic and it was perfect but then it just kept getting better and better and better. i was wondering if you would ever do a part where ronan’s the one freaking out over smth and adam has to step in and take charge (not even sexually but just general assurance of their relationship). once again your writing is incredible!!!! thank you for sharing
There’s someone outside the apartment when Adam leaves.
It startles him a little more than he can justify, a person in his doorway where he’d expected only empty air. He doesn’t let it show as he steps outside and locks up behind him, turns his back to the man in front of their unit like his existence demands no immediate attention.
“You’re Adam Parrish,” the man says. A casual observance, like Adam’s existence doesn’t require much of his attention either.
Adam turns back around to meet his eyes. The guy doesn’t blink. He doesn’t let Adam push him around with silence, waits like he’s said all he was planning to say.
“If you want something,” Adam tells him, “you could try asking a question.”
He inclines his head slightly towards the apartment, not even sparring Adam a full nod. “Is Ronan home?”
“What makes you think I’d give that information to a man lurking outside my doorway?”
“I know,” Adam replies. “Declan.” He starts off down the hall.
Declan falls into step alongside him. “Gansey said you’d be helpful.”
“Gansey is optimistic to the point of delusion, I’m not responsible for him.”
“No, you’re responsible for Ronan.”
“I’m responsible for myself,” Adam corrects him. “And right now I have to get to work.”
“Should you give that information to men lurking outside your home?”
“If you follow me to my office, it’ll give Ronan time to sneak out of the apartment.” Declan’s eyes dart back down the hall. “Assuming he’s in the apartment to begin with,” Adam tacks on, deliberately unhelpful.
