Re: Studio: Ben S/Ronan X
[Both arms slide around Ronan's waist, automatic, no thought given to holding him close and tight for that whisper of his words.] He's not - [The words come out fast even though he has no way to explain that no, he isn't marked, isn't tarnished by what happened. That this is a sad, unfortunate piece of reality - that they need to be cautious until it's been a few months. That if something ever happened with him, that he'd want to wait until multiple test came back negative because he doesn't ever want to be the reason that Ronan might get sick.
And then he knows - he knows Ronan's going to see it in his mind and his head dips to kiss that soft place under his jaw.] He isn't a part of you if you don't want him to be. I don't think of him as a part of you, not ever.
