a list of extremely romantic quotes from adam parrish about the love of his life ronan lynch
adam parrish had been gansey’s friend for eighteen months, and he knew that certain things came along with that friendship. namely, believing in the supernatural, tolerating gansey’s troubled relationship with money, and co-existing with gansey’s other friends. (…) the latter was only problematic when it was ronan lynch.
adam suspected gansey’s preference was because ronan was earnest even if he was horrible.
adam laughed in disbelief. “do it for you! some of us have homework, you know.”
adam just looked at him witheringly. “do your homework.”
adam said, “you’re such a dick.”
“don’t be such a shitbag,” adam murmured.
adam punched ronan, saving gansey the trouble.
“shut up.”
“that’s why its latin grammar is terrible. it’s your grammar.”
adam made a face. he felt it would take more than pizza to improve ronan’s character.
“you’re a neanderthal.”
“he’s a pit bull.”
“god, ronan,” adam said. “enough.”
adam was, all at once, fatigued with ronan and his uselessness.
“you look like a supervillain with your familiar.”
[ronan ranting obnoxiously about malory and his dog] “why couldn’t he have something normal like a raven?”
“is this a real conversation, parrish?” adam didn’t bother to reply. he merely exchanged three textbooks for his gym hoodie.
“you know, when i first met gansey, i couldn’t figure out why he was friends with someone like ronan. one day, he’d done some stupid shit i don’t even remember, and i just couldn’t take it. and i asked why gansey was even friends with him if he was such an asshole all the time.”
in conclusion, this boy is head over heels in love!!!!!!! (feel free to add to this)
Hey uhh, it’s me again. Just calling to see if you thought that Andrew sometimes walks into the kitchen while neil is making coffee or something and like, gently headbutts him and Neil just, reached a hand out and runs his hands through Andrew’s hair?
The first
time Andrew thinks Neil might be a problem, he’s not even high, beginning the
fast descent back to reality. That makes it even worse.
Neil Josten is a prudent, guarded creature,
with skittish eyes and too-closed lips. Andrew doesn’t get much from him in the
beginning, and in his in-between state, he cares enough that it annoys him. He
squashes the feeling as quickly as it came and takes his place next to Aaron;
they’re dressed the same but otherwise so obviously different, like twin
reflections that came alive, stepping out of the mirror.
It fools Josten, if only for a few minutes.
It’s enough. Enough to start gauging him and, as much as Andrew is loathe to
admit it, miscalculate the equation he is.
Something isn’t right, but it’s not until later
that Andrew reaches the root of the problem, and numbers fall back into place
with every truth Neil shares: contact lenses, a connection to the Moriyamas, a
propension to run his mouth when he should keep it shut and to lie when the
situation requires honesty.
What she means: In the chapter where Neil is being tortured by his father he reaches up when his father is choking him and squeezing his cuts but stops before he touches him because he’s been conditioned from a young age that trying to stop his father/touching him he will get hurt even more. With Neil and Andrew’s relationship being based on trust and the fact that Neil can respect boundaries and asks before he touches Andrew, I wonder how Andrew would take it if he learnt that it’s probably partly because it was literally beaten into Neil when he was younger.
