Gansey blinked a handful of times. What had just happened? Not only was he shirtless in a strange place, but he was being further objectified in his state of compromise. This was a patently Ronan joke, and Gansey was characteristically unamused by it. Hearing confirmation that it was a joke didn't make him feel any better.

Still, Noah was here and Noah was getting him a shirt. It warmed him to know that Noah and he could exist at the same time, though he didn't know what to do with it. Few days passed where Gansey didn't wish he could see Noah, but now that he was there, Gansey didn't know what to do. What was there to say to a friend he was never supposed to see again?
