Ronan stops, his hand frozen halfway along its journey to touch Kylo's arm. He can't remember a time when Kylo didn't want to be touched by him. He's pretty sure it's never happened before, Kylo rejecting him so suddenly, so thoroughly. But he can see it's happened now. That β for the first time β he's intruded.
He's so stunned by it that he can't even muster up indignation. He stares at Kylo for a second or two, then withdraws his hand and drops it back to his side.
"Nothiβ" he starts to reply, but then his eyes are drawn to the rain of shattered mirror-glass, and he thinks he understands now. Kylo must have seen it in the mirror as Ronan approached. That would make sense, why Kylo wouldn't want him to come close. Why he looks like he hates Ronan right now. Wouldn't anyone?
