[His skin feels ticklish under Silco's wet fingers, the slow stroke sends a light shivers along his spine. Richard had to resist the urge to squirm as the warm water tickled down along his narrow back. He kept his eyes looking down at his lover in the tub with soft gaze. There was an air of an affection around them, something that could easily grow and wrap them back into the domestic embrace that they had been indulging in just a moment ago.
But he was not about to allow that to them, not with his last comment about the exchange he and Jinx had. Then again, he figured that it would do best to rip the band-aid off now. They might hold both fondness and devotion to some degree towards one another, and they were both committed to seeing this affair through. But it didn't mean that there weren't thorns scattered around their path - and Richard needed to see whether the other man's daughter was one of them.
So, he watched as the obvious panic grows to Silco's posture, pushing through the surface. He allowed the man to have his moment and fight for control over again before answering to his inquiries.] It was over the network. [Which was perhaps pretty obvious.
And he was just about to push the topic and challenge Silco further, but then it was his lover's turn to drop a bomb on him. ´You and I are basically life partners.´ The words, that seemingly slipped ever so carefully from the older man's tongue as if they were given, felt like a punch straight to his gut. All of the sudden he felt almost lightheaded as the color briefly left his body before shooting right up to his face. His cheeks turned dark crimson, framing his nearly bewildered eyes.
Richard opens his mouth to say something, but the words fails him -- staying stuck to his throat and choking him. Swallowing air, he takes a deep breath and sits up from the edge of tub. However, instead of leaving he lifts his right leg over the porcelain and steps back into the water. But this time he remains facing Silco as he settles back on the tub, placing cheek against the older man's collar bone.]

So, you would ask me even if it wasn't for her?
