In that case, Adam and Ronan are probably a good example for him to see.
Neither of them are the stereotypical 'gay' men and they're certainly not a
stereotypical couple. Ronan isn't observant enough of those that aren't
Adam to notice how Izzy looks at him and he trusts Adam can handle Izzy if
the boy is attracted to Adam (and why wouldn't he be). If Izzy isn't
respectful of Adam having a boyfriend then Adam's boyfriend can take care
of it.
There's enough wariness in those glances that Ronan doesn't think twice
about them. Let them stare, let them wonder. He knows how well he and Adam
fit together and he also knows that it's not always apparent to others how
they fit together.
Ronan is going to watch Adam alternate between the two drinks with an
amused look. This isn't an environment that he's ever seen Adam in so it's
interesting to watch him experience something new. Of course, it's not
exactly an environment that Ronan has ever been in either. He wouldn't say
he's comfortable here so much as he's apathetic about the environment.
Ronan's lips twist into a sharp smirk as the boys talk about holding
parties and getting drunk. "Personally, I like to get shit-faced in church
at night, but that's probably just me." He says it to add another layer of
'wtf' to what the boys already think about him, to make everyone a little
uncomfortable and maybe to entertain.
At Izzy's words, Ronan's eyes cut to the boy, his gaze narrowing. He pauses
a moment, trying to decide how he feels about Adam being pushed to go out
when he's not here. "Apparently, getting shit-faced isn't a class," he
says. In other words, Adam is there to study and if that's what he wants to
do then everyone should back off him. Ronan is protective of Adam and what
he wants. Ronan's fingers curl a little tighter in the belt loop of Adam's
jeans and he leans a little closer.
He shakes his head a little at that. "You have no damn idea how much I'd
like to be here every weekend, but I have cows and deer to feed and a
little sister to take care of." Okay, so it's Opal, his dream child, but he
can't exactly say that. "My little brother is watching everyone this
weekend." But Matthew can't do that every weekend. "Plus," he smirks, "I'm
a little bit of a distraction." He waggles his eyebrows, falling right in
with the teasing that's swarming around them. He grins at Adam, his hand
moving from it's anchor at Adam's belt loops to run up Adam's back and
settle at the nape of his neck.
