[He was trying, he really was. He wanted Ronan to see that he was more than just an asshole who made sex jokes and threw insults as often as he threw parties. He should've shown Ronan the other sides to him before, too, but--he'd just thought he had more time. He hadn't thought he'd be rejected so completely. But this was their second chance and he was determined not to squander it.
After setting the whiskey bottle and glasses on the nightstand, he crouched down to fuss with the fireplace while Ronan got settled into bed. It took a bit more fussing than he would have liked, but in the end he was victorious over the fire, like he always was, and brushed his hands off before straightening up.
Another lifetime and he would've joked that Ronan's mom had been as beautiful as a dream, or something like that. But seriously--did this make Ronan a half-dream?
He noticed the use of past tense, so he was quiet for a moment as he climbed into bed next to Ronan, reaching for the whiskey.]
What happened to her?
[He could tell it was probably a loaded question, but Ronan had brought it up, so...Kavinsky could only hope it was okay to ask.]
