[4/17] an apology of sorts

thedreamthiefIt isn't the first thing Ronan's dreamt since breaking out of the facility, since Gansey's disappearance. But it is the first thing he's brought out purposefully, the first thing he's specifically asked for and that Cabeswater has provided willingly.
As small as it is, it's likely Ronan wouldn't have needed to ask at all. But the act of doing so felt almost as important as the item itself. And so he had.
Noah's barely spoken to him in nearly a week, quickly flickering out of existence whenever they accidentally occupy the same space for longer than a second, his expression contorted in either hurt or anger. Ronan still wears the necklace, still keeps it safely tucked under his t-shirt as promised.
But it's not enough, he knows.
Ronan's never been good at apologies even when they're necessary. He wants to be better.
He isn't surprised when he opens the door to Noah's room to find it empty. If anything, he's almost relieved. At least he won't have to talk.
Carefully, he pulls the tightly woven bracelet from his pocket, the colors meant to match the shoes Noah wore on his birthday and places it atop Noah's pillow.
He doesn't leave a note, confident Noah will figure out who it's from. It may not be enough to fix what Ronan's broken, but maybe it can be a start.
