You couldn't have picked something less nerdy?

[But he follows because he's a good boyfriend. However, he's also thinking about how Adam's thighs have the definition that he had when he was in high school and he biked everywhere back, and that his freshmen ten dropped back down to the weight he was in senior year when he finally started eating enough.]

Like, I don't know, you could have taken up anything else.

[He's mostly just being a jerk to be a jerk but he and Adam are genuine with each other.]

I could have.

[ He glances up, ignoring the Rattatas that pop up on his screen in favour of offering Ronan the sweetest of smiles. ]

I liked the cartoon, but I couldn't afford the cards. [ This is his way of making up for that. ] Half the LGBT group joined the Pokéwalk one and I just thought why not? [ He looks back down at the screen again, taking the net corner. ] If I don't find it again we can head back.

This is what the Yale endowment is paying for?

[He's smirking just a bit, but he keeps trailing him.]

No wonder conservatives hate you, gay, cartoon-watching leaders of tomorrow.

[ Adam laughs and then freezes, catching the Abra on his radar again. It's easy to turn and take the few steps backwards, frantically pressing on it as the screen flares to life.

This time he tries Razzberry before he even attempts the Pokéball, holding his breath. ]

Fuckin' yeah.

[ He's not going to brag too much, but he does step closer to Ronan to show him. ]

[He watches this and when Ronan shows him he pokes at it.

It does it's little animation.]

So what does this one do?

Sleep, mostly.

[ He leans his shoulder against Ronan's, saving the Pokémon and then adding it as his buddy. ] It's psychic, apparently that means it has to sleep eighteen hours a day. Mostly it teleports away from danger. But it's one of the most difficult to catch.

[ And now he has it. ]

I'd show Opal but I don't know if she'd be okay with a cell phone.

She chewed Declan's.

[Said with a proud note in his voice. He takes Adam's phone and fiddles a little, figuring out the renaming thing, then hands it back.

Abra is now named Parrish.]

I wish I could sleep eighteen hours.

[ Satisfied, he closes the app and then reaches for Ronan's hand, folding their fingers together. ]

How did your meeting go?

Do you want me to let you? Tomorrow you sleep until I finish all the shit I have to do. Then you can't walk around and get your nerd disease all over my farm.

[He means it, he won't wake Adam up.

But he knows, too, that Adam wants to spend time with him. It's a luxury they don't have much of right now.]

Congratulations, egghead, you're now Opal's new legal guardian.

[He thrusts a piece of paper into Adam's hand.]

Done with all the actual legalities of not being a fucking dream.

[Surprise.]

[ Ronan's right, Adam will wake up the same time his boyfriend does, he'll follow him around on his errands and help with the farm and with Opal because it's the only time they have and he doesn't want to sleep it away.

Maybe after college.

But he isn't thinking about that now. Instead he's taking the piece of paper and staring at it, an unnameable feeling in his chest. Every step they take to becoming more real is a step that steals his breath and for a moment he cant catch it.

But then he's pulling Ronan in by his blazer jacket, crashing their mouths together in a way that the Henriettan populace would probably frown at. Fuck them. This is his. ] Did you tell her you were going to?

[They kiss there, in the middle of the street, and it's the calm in a storm, it's a perfect moment. If people see they don't say a word. If people see Ronan doesn't care. He just kisses Adam back, because that's what you do.]

I asked her who she wanted and she said you.

[He takes Adam's hand again, like it's a tether to the planet.]

You can't get her a phone though, she'll drive me crazy with that fucking game if she knew about it.

[Honestly she probably wouldn't understand the game but Ronan is trying to not look at the fact that Adam might possibly be tearing up.]

[ Even his breathing is shaky, like his emotion is pushing at his lungs and heart. But he's happy, it's the kind of overwhelmed that leaves him feeling raw, but good. ]

She gave me her favourite chewable flower this morning. I just thought she was being, you know, Opal.

[ It's a mass in Adam's pocket. Christ, he loves her. ]

You could dream her one? Not a cell phone but just something she can play the app on. I'll let her know it's our thing and she can only bug us when I'm back? [ Bonding with his daughter, it doesn't sound bad. ] It'll keep her active and I can take her on my errands.

[He considers that.]

You give it to her.

[He grips Adam's hand, like he knows. Like he knows Adam needs someone to hold onto him or he'll float away.]

Fuck, Parrish. Even if we don't-

[He pauses. Even if we don't make it, he wants to say, she's yours.]

We will.

[ He knows what Ronan's thinking and it's bullshit. Because of course they will. They've come too far to be anything but this for the rest of their lives. ]

C'mon, let's go home. [ And then, to break the tension. ] Now my dirty secret's out I want to know what I can catch at the Barns.

Jesus Mary you're such a fucking nerd.

[But he holds Adam's hand and walks him back to the car anyway.]

You knew that when we met, Lynch.

[ And somehow, Adam's magic worked on him anyway. It's a little strange to think of how far they've come, if he's honest. ]
