[It was like a huge boulder had been lifted off his chest by the mere strength of those words. Suddenly, Richard felt himself lighter and it to be easier to breathe. The previous violence, anger and sadness still lingered in the back of his mind, despite Silco mending his rage. Richard knew that if he were left alone for the night it wouldn't be golden sleep that'd come to him. No, it would be a hoard of demons and their curses as they'd try to sneak in through the open cracks of his mind.
Richard did not want to dream any more.
This time it was him who broke the contact by pulling his hand back. But only so that he could break the small gap between them and wrap his arms around Silco's waist as he buried his face into the fabric of the man's shirt. Wordlessly, seeking protection and safety.
"Our pact is not sex alone." Buckingham had spoken such words for him a few days before his arrival to this world. Richard hadn't had a chance to ask what he had meant by them back then. Guess he never gets to know, either, seeing how determined this world was to keep the two halves separate.
But curiously enough, his chest wasn't filled with sadness and pain when he thought back to the sore wound left by the absence of his lover. No, instead for once he felt reassurance and comfort that things will be alright, in this embrace between him and Silco.]
