you had recently started working as richard's assistant, and even though he always looked kind of grumpy and grouchy, he turned out to be surprisingly kind and fun to be around. right now, you were out on his balcony, casually smoking a cigarette.

he never really minded you smoking since he was a smoker too. after a little while, he came out of the living room and walked over to where you were standing. he stopped next to you and glanced at the cigarette between your fingers, a small smile forming on his face. then he asked,

"can i have a drag?"
