[Ronan says it so rarely, and Adam has still never heard those words from anyone else. He doesn't think he ever will. So he treasures each time, each moment when Ronan finds it within him to say I love you. That probably won't ever change. And they're here, together.
Everything that happened before was - awful, and Adam isn't going to forget it quickly. He knows he'll probably dream about Ronan's unmoving body, the creature with his face, how he didn't realized - how he let it close. He'll dream, and he'll wake up miserable, but at least Ronan will be there. He'll be able to curl up closer to him and breathe him in and remind himself that whatever happened, it's over now. It hasn't changed them, it hasn't ruined them.]
I love you too.
[Adam stays where he is, pressed up next to Ronan, watching the fire. It's soothing, in a way, though he knows he probably shouldn't encourage property destruction - but right now it helps.
They're going to be okay. Ronan is back with him, and Adam won't let him get hurt like that again, and they're taking another careful step in their relationship. A year ago, Adam would not have dreamed they'd be here, but now he can't imagine not having Ronan next to him.]
