Ronan isn't irritated in the slightest, although the mistake is understandable.
"No," he snaps, taking Murphy by the arm before he can try to scurry away. It's not a violent grab, but his hold is firm, even as his voice softens, "No. Come on, don't do that."
Closing the distance between them, he rests his other hand on Murphy's shoulder, squeezes it, then drags him into another embrace. This fucking kid breaks his heart. And yes, he knows it all, but there's a difference between knowing how it went down and hearing Murphy's take on it.
"Tell me what you did that was so bad you deserve to be alone forever."
Well, Ronan certainly sounded irritated; It was often hard to read him while Murphy wore all his emotions on his sleeve.
Before Murphy can even think about retreating, Ronan has him anchored. "Not really in the mood to get snapped at." And then he is being dragged into another embrace, one that Murphy fully accepts. Murphy sucks in air through his nose and it gets pushed out of his chest in a heavy sigh.
His arms are left hanging at his sides and he's laying against Ronan as if he were lifeless. "I thought you knew everything about me," Murphy murmurs, half-muffled because the corner of his mouth is pressed onto Ronan's shoulder.
"It's my fault. I lost him and then I lost my mom. I didn't have anyone for the longest time." Murphy shifts, allowing his gaze to drift up to the sky. "I know it's going to sound fucking dumb but then I came here and I have you."

Does he even need to say why? Ronan knows, he should know why Murphy doesn't think he deserves a lot of things.
"Forget it. I'm going to go back inside."
