   Summary

   Based on the following Barris Blue Moon Fest prompt:

   Scenario: Thomas is surprised/confused when Richard shows concern for his well-being, he is used to it only happening when his partner wants sex/intimacy.

   When Thomas enters their cottage on this evening, he feels completely wrecked, tired and flattened. But when Richard shows so much concern and love for his well-being, Thomas feels like he has to pay it back to Richard.

   Until Richard shows him, he doesn't need to pay anything back.
