[Oh. Here he'd been joking and Ronan was calling him on it. Adam was many things, but he tried not to be a coward--though he knew he still was sometimes. Or maybe there was a big difference between being scared by a lot of things and being a coward.
He declined to comment on having any insta model in him. He didn't think he was handsome enough; he was plain and uglier on the inside than most people knew. To some extent, he was always worried that ugliness would claw its way to the surface.
Instead, he stepped back into the bathroom, in front of the mirror that was still fogged along the edges but had been cleared carefully in the middle so he could see his reflection. His hair was still wet but combed neatly, and when he lifted his phone to take a picture, he focused on it and not his reflection. There was no eye contact to be made and a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows from the intensity of his concentration.
Anybody else, he would have felt awkward, even with the towel tucked firmly around his waist, but this was Ronan and Ronan was...special in ways Adam couldn't put into words. Not just special in general, but special to Adam.
Sending the picture, he added-]
Did you wait all day just to try and get a peek at my body?

[Tried and succeeded, he might add.]
