[Ronan’s smile is always sharp, but Gansey has learned somewhat to differentiate between the different types of points. This is a look that he’s sure is meant to be a bit mischievous, and it’s a bit charming for that. Still, the feeling of warm lips against his neck makes him shiver a little.
[He hadn’t much considered himself to be open about boys until he and Ronan became close. It’s not as if he sneezed at the idea - it just hadn’t crossed his mind. But Ronan had been devilishly and dangerously handsome from the start, and being allowed to be close to him like this feels like a rare privilege for anyone.
[Something about the way Ronan trusts him makes it all the more enticing. He hadn’t been quite so prickly when they first met - before the death of Niall Lynch - but these days, any positive emotion is decidedly more so. Gansey cranes his neck a bit in a subtle invitation, and another soft chuckle escapes his throat. Warm hands run gentle over Ronan’s back over his shirt.]
That was a request, not a challenge. [His tone is teasing. It’s difficult to think of what to say next. Gansey is always a little afraid of flipping Ronan’s switch and scaring him away. But it feels so nice to be close like this. His heart is full of affection reserved only for the boy next to him.] I’m happy to see you too, Lynch.
[Still a bit teasing, but Gansey puts the bridge of his nose against Ronan’s shaved head in a warm gesture.]
