Anti-OTP (late): Tom and Richard

[jarndyceheir]

Richard is flipping through a book without much relish. His meeting with Tom has left him confused and out of sorts, and the temporary lull seems to have been shattered. It doesn't, of course, help that Ada slept with him once, only to protest that it wasn't her wish to continue. But Richard is a gentleman, and would never dream of mentioning

Tom isn't exactly flipping so much as dripping. His clothes are wet after quite a long walk in the snow and he walks back to his room, looking utterly miserable.

Drip, drip, drip.

"...Tom?" he says, without thinking.

Tom looked up after a moment and made an involuntary face. "Oh. Hello, Richard."

"...sorry. I didn't mean to - sorry."
