ok ok ok but here’s the thing: adam canonically only took about 10 minutes to be comfortable holding blue’s hand, sitting close to her, letting their bodies touch in the car and helicopter, etc, as long as he knew that she was okay with him doing that

therefore i present to you: super casually affectionate adam parrish accidentally (or not so accidentally) making ronan short-circuit by routinely doing things like holding ronan’s hand while walking through cabeswater, or kissing ronan’s cheek before he leaves monmouth to go to work, or resting his head on ronan’s shoulder when he’s tired. just in front of their friends at first, then gradually in more public places as they become more generally open about their relationship.

and every time he does this for like the first month after they start dating, ronan always tries and fails to hide a smile because his higher brain functions have pretty much been stopped in their tracks, and sometimes blue or noah or gansey will point out that he’s grinning and he’ll try to cover it up with venom and sarcasm but his happiness always shows through and just. idk man affectionate and happy pynch
