[Ronan's hand in his is more comforting than he has words for, and for a moment he clings too tightly, as if he's afraid Ronan will pull away or vanish, or maybe just that he's dreaming. Then he gets ahold of himself and relaxes his grip, holds Ronan's hand like a normal person. Still. It helps.]
Yeah. A shower would be nice.
[Normally, Adam might propose they shower together. But this isn't normal, and he doesn't want Ronan washing the blood off him. That's something to do alone. But knowing that Ronan will be there, that he'll come out and everything will be - not fine, but okay - that's all Adam can possibly ask for right now.
He holds on to Ronan's hand as they walk home, letting it comfort him and trying, in his own quiet way, to offer comfort in return.]
