[Ronan watches Adam reach for the bowl and sits back for a moment, letting him take it on his own and pull it closer. Of course, actually eating is going to require a little situating, as Adam can't hold it in bed and feed himself at the same time with only one arm. But, Ronan lets him take control for as much of this as he can to try to encourage the feeling of independence that he knows is so important to Adam.
So he just watches, pressed warmly against Adam's side, before reaching out to gently take the bowl from him and holding it steady in Adam's lap, so it doesn't accidentally tip over. Ronan leans in, kissing gently at Adam's jaw while he does so, as if disguising the closeness with affection. He knows that, no matter how he tries to present it, Adam will see it as a weakness. He knows that Adam will blame himself for this, as if it's some kind of imposition, but he does the best he can to mitigate that.]
Here- go ahead.
[He made sure to grab one of the big spoons so it can't fall fully into the bowl- everything is carefully cultivated for ease, but done so in a way that tries earnestly hard not to look it. This is all that he can do to make up for what he did, and he tries to do it to the full extent of his patience and consideration.
It isn't easy, but none of this is. Ronan knows now better than to storm out when people need him.]
