"I don't want to rescue you." He fired back quickly. Ronan closes his eyes and takes a slow breath. "I'm not trying to argue or push you, Adam. I'm curious. I want to know who you are. I think you are worth knowing." His thumbs brushes Adam's palm. "Really knowing. Not surface level bullshit. That's all."

He shifts so he's laying on his back. "Just need a couple of minutes." Don't leave, he thinks before closing his eyes again. Another breath and he drifts off to sleep.
