oh to wear a knife strapped against my thigh beneath a silk dress

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

ok let’s talk about the ronan/adam size difference:

the height difference is only like an inch or two but it totally matters

ronan stubbornly refusing to lean down so adam has to tiptoe the slightest bit to kiss him. adam’s all pouty and annoyed and ronan thinks it’s adorable

adam getting frustrated and shoving him down on the bed and sitting in his lap so they’re on the same level

adam secretly loves waking up all warm and cozy in his arms, feeling safe and protected. ronan’s like a furnace so he makes the Best Pillow Ever

ronan loves being the little spoon tho. adam crawling into his bed after work, wrapping an arm around his waist, breathing against the back of his neck, warming his feet between ronan’s calves

ronan letting adam do whatever he wants to him even though he’s bigger/taller than him!!!!

he LOVES it, he loves when adam’s bossy and manhandles him and presses him up against walls and holds him down on the bed and touches and kisses him everywhere like he wants to devour him whole

ronan dropping kisses on his forehead all the time, burying his nose in his hair, putting an arm around his shoulders in the booth at nino’s and kissing his temple 

adam tucking his face against the side of ronan’s neck, arms sliding around his waist, kissing where his tattoo’s showing

ok i have to talk about the clothes-sharing: adam wearing his leather jacket and it’s a couple sizes too big and the sleeves almost cover his hands and it’s warm and soft and well-worn and it smells like him and he’s never giving it back. ronan wearing adam’s old threadbare t-shirts that are a little too tight but adam’s enjoying the view a bit too much

ok adam also secretly likes when ronan puts his arm around him all possessive in public. he secretly likes that ronan scares babies and their mothers and that literally no one would dare look at either of them the wrong way (even if they both know adam’s the one who could actually ruin someone’s life if he wants to)

basically, certified big scary badass™ ronan lynch being utterly at adam parrish’s mercy :)))))
