Summary
“You’ve seriously never wanted anything like that?” Ian asks suddenly, impulsively. “A boyfriend?”
It doesn’t seem like there’s any bigger implication behind it, but it’s a stupid fucking question anyway. It’s not about want— what Mickey wants is irrelevant. What Ian wants should be irrelevant, but Ian’s always got his head set on one goal or another. Probably thinks that he could get that one day, and maybe he could. Mickey can’t.
“’S kinda nice,” Ian continues, and Mickey’s so cornered he considers praying to God, if there is one watching, to make him drop it already. “Like, banging in an actual bed. Taking our time. Chilling after and then maybe going again. Talking.”

Summary
There's values he lived his life by for years, and he's added more to live by now: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, courage. For better or for worse, richer or poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, until death do they part.
Love and war— Ian thinks maybe it’s all the same in the end.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
“Fair enough,” Hennessy said, her tone ambivalent and pragmatic. “It probably wouldn’t do you much good, anyway. If God was going to grant you the serenity to accept the things you can’t change, He’d have done it by now.”
Ronan rolled his eyes. His stomach hurt. He draped his wrist over the steering wheel and said in a low voice, “I don’t think God plans to grant me anything.”
Hennessy settled a hand atop his on the gear shift. Softly, she said, “Ronan. That is such bullshit.”or: ronan plans his wedding, breaks a bad habit, and goes to confession.

Summary
Though Ronan could not be called well-behaved, he was at his most serious and restrained when he felt like God was watching. What a thrill it was, then, to have him panting and hard in the chapel, where God or anyone else might see.
"You do get off on this," Adam said, barely a whisper. "That's hot, Ronan."
The specifics of desire had never brought Adam much trouble, whether it was girls, boys, whatever. But he was discovering that the ways in which he wanted Ronan often filled him with an unfamiliar shame. He'd found that he did not simply want Ronan in ways that seemed tender or loving. He also wanted him in ways that scared him, that would probably scare Ronan.
or: The summer before he leaves for college, Adam starts going to Mass. Ronan avoids an old ghost. They discover a shared interest.
