[He wasn't very surprised to see Ronan on the other side of the door; it wasn't as if Adam got a lot of visitors. He was surprised to see him holding a bakery box. For a moment, his brows furrowed before smoothing out. Ronan shouldn't have, but it was sweet that he had. Adam swallowed around the lump in his throat, nudging the door open wider and holding out a hand for the box.]
You shouldn't have. I mean, hey.
[He smiled a little. He knew things were rough for both of them, not just...between the two of them but in general. Being in this place was rough. It wasn't necessarily terrible but it was...different. And strange. They were used to strange, of course, but it would have been easier if he hadn't felt at odds with Ronan.]
Come in.
[By which he really meant thank you. It was strange, too, accepting gifts, but they were on more even footing here as far as funds went. And Adam was the one who'd set himself up in a cozy little apartment first, taking care to make sure there was a spare room in case Ronan showed up and needed some space to himself. At least his preparation hadn't been in vain.
He just hoped things worked out. He knew what he really wanted and it felt selfish, but he couldn't help it. He'd never really loved anyone before, especially not the way he loved Ronan. He wanted good things in his life but he wanted Ronan to be happy too. Even if that meant his romantic life didn't include Adam. But Adam didn't want to jump to conclusions- there was always hope, wasn't there?]
