Ronan, of course, doesn't do anything to ease the awkwardness or the tension in the room. He smirks when Adam confirms that he does that. Of course, what he doesn't say is that when Ronan is drinking in the church, he's feeling particularly self-loathing and self-destructive, or he's going to dream something dangerous and he wants the safety and sanctuary of the church.

Bad ass is exactly the image Ronan is trying to cultivate. With any luck, this will make Adam's time here easier.

Ronan is all for Adam doing what he needs to do here and getting on with his life, particularly if that life includes him and if Adam were impressed with drunk college kids, Ronan probably wouldn't be here now because Adam wouldn't be the guy he'd fallen in love with.

Tonight, it's safe for Adam to drink what he wants. Ronan will get him home, and he's got no doubt that Adam won't make a habit of this. There's no way he misses the way Adam's face turns red, not with the attention he's paying to Adam. He's still trying to judge how Adam feels about the teasing when Adam mutters. Ronan barks a bit of a laugh and leans in, dipping his head to nip lightly at Adam's neck.

He looks up when Barry says it's time fo ra keg stand. "Well hell yes."
