[Ronan is quiet while Adam speaks, letting him apologize- though it's hard, because he wants to step in and dismiss everything the instant he realizes that Adam feels just as guilty as he does. He doesn't want Adam to force his own vulnerability, he doesn't want to admit his own- he just wants to keep going like they've come to do in the past, together and soft and attentive.
But he lets Adam finish because he can tell that it's important to him, even if it makes the both of them a little uncomfortable. It's something that Adam feels like he needs to say, and when he's done, Ronan can only nod and move in closer, closing the distance between the two of them and wrapping his arms around Adam's shoulders in a firm hug.
It's good to have Adam's warmth against him again, the familiar feeling of his floppy hair brushing against his cheek, his narrow shoulders folded against Ronan's chest. Ronan closes his eyes and just feels him there for a moment, relieved, before speaking quietly into Adam's working ear.]
I didn't mean it. You know I didn't.
[It was whatever Rage had done, and it fucked with them both until it started that fight. Ronan wouldn't have said any of that if not for this event, and he knows that Adam feels the same. That's all he needs right now.]

I'm sorry.
