Chapter Text
It wasn't like they hadn't gotten close.
The third time that Ronan had spent the night after the first time they'd kissed, they'd gotten each other off, hands wrapped around each other in a haze of arousal and urgency, not even completely out of their pants. The fourth time that Ronan had spent the night after that, Adam took Ronan into his mouth for the first time and Ronan was too blissed out to reciprocate so Adam laid hand on himself while Ronan kissed him languidly through it. The night of the condom incident was two weeks after that.
Ronan wasn't sure how all or even any of this was supposed to go. He had zero experience outside of what he and Adam had done and Adam had confessed that before Ronan, he hadn't done anything more than kiss a middle school girlfriend of approximately two weeks. He was pretty sure most couples in high school didn't have sex within a month of getting together, but then again, he didn't think he and Adam were most couples.
Adam agreed.
"I'm half dream and you're like... three-fifths forest," Ronan had said the night of the condom incident while eating their shared ramen noodles.
Adam made a face. "I'm bigender not... pentagender?" Ronan nodded. They finished dinner and Adam drank too much coffee and worked on his final assignment for calculus while Ronan grumbled and wrapped himself intricately around Adam's waist. He thought he could probably fall asleep like this if it didn't mean Adam would have to either move him in his sleep, a near impossible task, or sleep in a terribly uncomfortable position.
"You know, you ingest far too much caffeine to be considered safe, but at least you're not like Gansey- he only drinks it for the aesthetic."
Adam snorted loudly. "That can't be true."
"Have you ever actually met Gansey? I can't believe you don't believe me." Adam chuckled, closed his laptop and slid down the bed to lay next to Ronan.
"Hi."
"Hi." Adam nudged Ronan's nose with his own and pressed his mouth to Ronan's. He opened his mouth to deepen the kiss, but only for a moment. Then he was pulling away and Ronan was half-heartedly groaning in annoyance. "We should talk about it," Adam said, sitting up.
Now Ronan was groaning whole-heartedly in annoyance. "We did talk about it."
"No, not the condoms, the... it."
Adam silently counted to ten while Ronan tried to suffocate himself with the pillow. "The 'it'?!" He exclaimed when he came up for air again. "God, you're worse than Gansey."
Adam eyes narrowed. "Take it back." Ronan hit him with the pillow. "Ronan, take it back." Ronan did not take it back, and instead grabbed Adam's arm and pulled him down and fit their mouths together again. Adam lost himself in it, one of Ronan's hands on the back of his neck and the other on his waist. Ronan shoved one of his legs between Adam's and he moved against it until Ronan flipped them both onto their sides and slid his hands under Adam's shirt, pulling it off and throwing it somewhere behind him. Ronan's shirt was gone a moment later and Adam breathed out a sigh that sounded close to relieved as he placed open mouth kisses on Ronan's shoulder, tongue lapping at the edges of the tattoo peeking up from his back. Everything was moving quickly and smoothly until Adam reached too far with his mouth over Ronan's shoulder and his neck twisted uncomfortably.
"Ow, fuck, fuck."
"What, what's wrong?" Adam slid off of Ronan, rubbing his neck and swatted Ronan's arm away.
Suddenly Adam was laughing. "I pulled something in my neck. Ow, jesus."
"Language." Ronan's hand was still on Adam's thigh, rubbing circles into the skin through his sweatpants. "Do you want me to massage it?" Adam couldn't tell if he was being serious or not.
"Not my neck," he muttered, mostly to himself. Ronan heard it and laughed. Then he was quiet while Adam did his best to stretch out his neck. "I want to, you know," Ronan half whispered a minute later.
Adam winced as he laid back down beside Ronan. "Want to what?"
Ronan smirked and leaned up to bury his face into Adam's neck, breath tickling as he whispered "Want you to fuck me." Adam was still and Ronan pulled back. "I mean, if you do, I don't know, I figured because you bought condoms that you wanted to."
Adam placed his hand on Ronan's bare chest. "I got them just in case but yeah, I want to." He kissed his way up Ronan's neck and when he found his lips, Ronan's hand on Adam's thigh found his crotch and Adam pulled back in surprise. "Not tonight, my neck hurts!"
"Oh my god, fine! I don't even want to touch you. You're gross," he murmured, kissing Adam's cheek, and his nose, and his forehead.
Monmouth was a mess when Adam walked in, the most concerning mess being the gigantic mess of blankets and sheets stretched over chairs and the expensive coffee table.
"What is this?" He asked the mess.
Blue's head poked out from under the blankets and then retreated immediately. He heard her say "He's here!" and then Gansey, Noah, and Ronan's heads poked out.
"Get in," Noah said simply, lifting the blankets and motioning to the space beside him.
"I have work." Four groans of disappointment followed and Adam rolled his eyes. "Ronan, I need to talk to you." Blue and Noah ooooh'ed and Gansey shushed them. Ronan followed Adam towards the kitchen.
"What's up?" He reached his hands out to play with the strings of Adam's green hoodie. Adam wanted to hold those hands. So he did.
"I wanted to see if you could come over tonight after I'm done with work."
"Yeah, sure. Should I bring my laptop?" Ronan's was faster and better for streaming movies.
"No, just... just yourself." Adam winced and Ronan's brows furrowed.
"Okay, weirdo." He drew him in for a kiss but Adam pulled away after a second.
"Wait, no, that's not all. I, uh- I want to do it. Tonight. If you do, that is."
Ronan smiled and pulled him in for a kiss and this time Adam let him. "Yeah, of course I do," he spoke softly against his lips. "So, just bring my sexy self?"
"I'm leaving." Adam pulled Ronan closer.
"Good riddance."
Adam had to be trying to kill him.
After five chaotic minutes of Adam struggling to remember where he had stashed the lube, Ronan shoved his boxers down and off and spread his legs so Adam could lay between them. Adam kissed his way down Ronan's stomach and mouthed at his hipbones while Ronan whined above him, slinging a leg over his shoulders. Adam's mouth moved farther down and he licked up Ronan's dick and pumped him a few times before getting his lips around the tip.
"Ah, stop," Ronan whined. Adam pulled off.
"Why, what's wrong?"
Ronan groaned. "Nothing, but I want you to fuck me. Like, now."
Adam reached for the lube again, slicked a finger and gently prodded until Ronan nodded, yes. He pushed in passed the knuckle and Ronan's breath hitched, his dick twitching away from his stomach.
"Is it good?"
"Yeah," Ronan murmured. "More."
Two fingers later and Ronan was groaning in earnest now, precome smeared across his stomach and Adam didn't know for sure but he figured he should probably grab a condom. He pulled his fingers out and Ronan whined until he saw what Adam was doing and he leaned up to press sloppy kisses against his neck and jaw.
Adam giggled- he was ticklish. "Stop distracting me." He managed to tear the wrapper and put the condom on before Ronan pulled him into a real kiss, breath hot and panting. He reached down and pumped Adam's dick a few times before laying back on the bed. Adam finished with the lube and crawled up Ronan's body, kissing him again but slower this time. "If you wanna stop at any point-"
"I know."
Adam pushed in and it was- a lot. They had to stop a few times to fix the angle and Adam couldn't stop giggling when Ronan ran his fingers up his too-sensitive sides.
"Stop laughing, your dick is literally inside of me. If you won't take this seriously, I'll find someone else who will." But he was laughing too, despite himself and he kept his hands to himself until Adam sobered up.
"Hi," Adam whispered.
"Hi. Move."
They faced each other, laying on the bed, and Adam ran his fingers through the soft, short curls that Ronan had recently starting growing out. Their legs were tangled together and Ronan wouldn't stop touching Adam's face.
"Hey." Adam poked Ronan's nose and Ronan grabbed his finger and bit it. "Was the blanket fort fun?"
Ronan pulled Adam's finger out of his mouth and kissed his palm. "Yeah. Join us sometime."
"I will."
