This is incredibly late but we’re going to do this now anyway because these assholes murder me on a regular basis.
- Adam goes away to college like they all expect him to, and when he comes back, Blue is the first one to yell and run at him in the airport. He’s a little pale and shaken from the flight, but when he sees Blue, his face nearly splits with a grin and he catches her and spins her around and lets out one of those beautiful, surprised laughs that Blue loves so much, and it doesn’t matter if they haven’t seen each other for a month or for a year; Blue doesn’t stop touching him for at least two hours.
- The two of them are usually the designated drivers once the four of them are old enough to drink. It annoys Ronan and Gansey to no end that the half of their group who never wants to drink is the half that turns 21 a good six or seven months earlier. Blue doesn’t ask why Adam doesn’t ever drink, but at some point, when Gansey and Ronan are asleep in the back seat for once, and there’s nothing but the two of them and the street lights on the way home to Henrietta, he tells her that it’s less because of his dad and more because it makes him feel like he’s not in his body, and he’s had enough of that for one lifetime.
- When Adam outgrows the Coca-Cola t-shirt, he gives it to her. It’s kind of an awkward moment where he thinks maybe it was stupid for him to ask if she wanted it at all, but she takes it, and the next week, she’s wearing a super cute Coca-Cola dress. It quickly becomes one of her favorites.
- Sometimes Blue has a hard time reconciling the Adam that she knows to the Adam she’d met at Nino’s that night. She doesn’t know if it’s everything he’s been through since they’ve met, if it’s the trauma or Cabeswater’s influence or any number of things that makes him so different from the quiet, almost fragile boy she thought she could avoid her fate with. She’d liked that boy a lot. But she loves the Adam that she knows, even when they fight and bicker and snap. She wouldn’t trade him for the stranger she’d tried to date.
- The two of them probably fall asleep on the way home from Glendower Gang adventures all the time. It usually involves Adam using Blue’s lap as a pillow or Blue leaning into him and clutching a fist full of his t-shirt. Neither of them ever talk about it when they wake up, but it’s weirdly comforting, sometimes.
- Blue’s the person who will go out of her way to make sure that Adam can hear what’s happening or follow a conversation. She tries not to be obvious about it, so that it doesn’t embarrass him, but he usually picks up on it, whether it’s her making sure he’s sitting so that his good ear is toward the rest of them or her going “I’ve got to have subtitles on to watch movies; yeah it’s annoying, I know! I know! But think of how many people are usually crammed in the movie room at home; I just can’t focus.” (Adam knows this one is bullshit straight up, because he knows Blue is dyslexic, but the others don’t, and he’s grateful to her for it because it means he doesn’t have to bring it up or, more likely, suffer in silence and not hear the movies.)
- She’s definitely the one who discovers that he sings in the shower and has a really nice voice and she definitely teases about it for about eight million years and probably attempts to drag him up to do karaoke at one point which he Literally Refuses To Do Stop Cheering I’m Not Getting Up. (Next time he’s in the shower when he knows she’s there and no one else is, though, she definitely hears “YOU’VE GOT THAT JAMES DEAN DAYDREAM LOOK IN YOUR EYE. [long pause] i don’t know the rest of the words blue that’s gonna have to do it for you” and she screams for a thousand years.
