[He doesn't... actually expect for Adam to rise to the challenge, but Ronan quickly masks any potential surprise with a smirk. He'd rather not show any sort of weakness in this, but- well, this is a bit of a large step, and though Ronan would like to be able to follow through on anything he says, even he knows that there are a dozen reasons why they shouldn't fall into each other.
So, he eases back a little instead, shrugging callously.]
I don't know- I don't think I should spoil the surprise.
[Which is already a little silly, since he was the one to challenge in the first place, but Ronan manages to back down, allows Adam a little victory- even if it's just in teasing and giving into stupid flirtations. Congratulations on calling his bluff, at least.
Ronan is too far away now, Adam has lost his chance for a kiss, but at least they were close for awhile.]

Patience, Parrish. Think of our chastity.
