This is more of a test for the both of them than they've ever really faced before. They haven't been out in public very much since they became something more than friends. There had only been a few months between their first kiss and Adam's going off to college. There just hadn't been time.
In some respect, Adam was thankful for that. Because he can be slow to come around to things and he'd needed to accept the whole boyfriend thing, even with as naturally as it came with Ronan. Now is the time to take it a step further. Aside from the occasional flip-flop of nerves in his belly, Adam thinks he's handling this just fine.
All the boys are staring at Ronan like the conundrum he is. Only Izzy is staring at Adam like he's seeing him through a new light. Also, it could be that Ronan has that carefree attitude that every college aged boy or girl wish they had. Another also, they're all probably wondering if Ronan will punch them or not for getting out of line.
Adam finally cuts into the awkward silence. "So what exactly is in a trash can punch. It doesn't sound very appetizing."
"Oh, hey, it's..." Barry says. "Basically a little bit of every kind of liquor plus fruit punch. You wanna try it?"
For the sake of moving on and not losing face, Adam nods. "Maybe a little bit." He lets go of Ronan's hand to get a solo cup and then scoops out some punch from the trash can. He takes a sip. It tastes like it has no alcohol in it at all. "It's sweet." He offers the glass to Ronan. "Wanna try?"
