    Bookmarker's Notes

    "I want..." Andrew cleared his throat. His voice was raspy, as though every word was causing him actual, physical pain to get out. "I want... you to stay."

    And Neil hurt. Andrew, who had never admitted to wanting anything in the entire time that he'd known him, was telling him that he wanted him to stay. Andrew, who had never allowed himself to want something wanted Neil to stay. Neil didn't cry usually, but he couldn't help it then, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. Neil and Andrew didn't hug, usually, but that time they did, and Neil practically had to peel himself off of Andrew twenty minutes later, when there was absolutely no choice but to leave if he wanted to catch his flight.

     

    I’m not gonna lie I can never read this scene without crying.

    Summary

    There's something off about Neil. Andrew's noticed, but he can't tell what's wrong - doesn't even know where to start. And besides, it's not the only thing on his mind. His turbulent relationship with his brother, and plans for the future after college are suddenly looming large as he begins his fourth year. Neil will simply have to tell him if something's bothering him. After all, he promised not to lie to Andrew anymore. Not after everything that they've been through. Not after Andrew told Neil to stay.

    He will tell him if something's wrong. Won't he?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “And why do you?” Andrew fires back. “What does it matter to you?”

    “Because you’re my brother, Andrew, and he doesn’t deserve you!”

    The words spur something to snap inside Andrew. How convenient of Aaron to play the brother card now when it suits his motives. He’s so tired of this. So sick and tired of people telling him what he should do, how he should act, assuming what he does or does not want.

    “As if you would know,” Andrew snarls, and Aaron’s head whips back. “Yes, he will destroy me, and yes, I will let him. Neil is the one I want, so fuck your opinion and whatever else anyone thinks I deserve!”

     

    I think about this moment religiously

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “Trying to talk to you, obviously.” Ronan said. He straightened up and turned to face Adam. His face was gaunt, but not as gaunt as Adam had assumed it would be.

    He wouldn’t lie, Ronan looked rough. His cheeks were slightly hollow, and there were dark bags under his eyes, but he didn’t look dead. Just exhausted.

    “Why?”

    Ronan shrugged, and started toward Adam’s window to look out of it, moving the curtains for a better view.

    “You’re the only one who can hear me. It’s been ages since I’ve talked to anyone.”

    “It’s been two days.” Adam said, and then, “You can’t talk to other ghosts?”

     

    [AKA, Adam falls in love with his best friend's dead best friend]

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ronan’s hand moved out from underneath his, but the cold didn’t leave, because then Ronan’s hand was on his cheek.

    There was a barely there brush against his lips, the mere idea of stubble, barely a whisper of a kiss. A betraying tear slid from the corner of Adam’s eyes and slid down his temple, wetting his hair and clumping his eyelashes together.

    A half-formed finger dried his eyes.

    The warmth slowly returned to Adam’s body. He didn’t know how long he lay there.

    And when Adam opened his eyes, Ronan was gone.

     

    NOOOOOOO BROOOOOOO OMGG
