All right. Not talked, but...he did that for you, and you know it. I've pulled more favors than he'll ever know to keep him in school so he can get his inheritance, but even the threat of losing everything didn't compare to what you did for him. The things you do, even the littlest ones, they mean something to him. He just expects it from me.
[and that's true enough. ronan expects gansey there to hold him back, to drag him back kicking and screaming if that's what it takes. sometimes it has. adam does something else, something gansey can't often do. he makes ronan decide to be better.]
All right, I'm more than that. But so are you. But when aren't things difficult? There's always something. You two will have your spats, I'm positive, since you do already, and I'll play Switzerland, since I do that so well. Just because something isn't easy doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do. You'd know that better than most of us.
But I agree with you, right now is a pretty damn awful time to try to be figuring it out. That's...not really what I'm trying to tell you to do. You have time. Use it wisely and look at what's really there, not just what you've been taught to think of yourself. Trust me, if I thought you were bad for each other, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
[gansey may be naive, but he's not that naive, and he loves his friends above all other things. he'd never let ronan and adam hurt each other on purpose, not like this.]
