"I mean, it's not..." Among the people that knew them both, there was rarely a need to perfectly articulate what they were and so Adam didn't quite know how to say it when it mattered. "It's a relationship. We're not experimenting or toying with each other or...whatever." Adam wasn't sure what made him feel most protective, the thought that Gansey might assume the worst of Adam or assume that they were being frivolous.
Gansey mentioned Blue and Adam smiled, warm if a little uncertain. Gansey's loss had hit them all in different, terrible ways but Adam thought that Blue had suffered it the most quietly and in a way none of them understood. For all that Ronan and Adam loved Gansey in a way that was more than brotherly, Blue had Loved him in a way that Adam couldn't touch.
"I figured you would eventually," he said, hoping it sounded even, not dismissive.
Was it because of who they were or was it because of Cabeswater that they were drawn close like magnets? Adam hadn't realized just how much he'd lacked for the Gansey-shaped hole in his life and now that he was back, he could only now realize just how much they'd lost.
