Ric was confused by Damon leaning out of the shower, but relaxed a little when Damon came back and even more when Damon agreed and laid out a very clear plan. He closed his eyes with that relief, and let himself feel his emotional exhaustion just a little bit. He leaned in and very, very softly kissed Damon.
"We need to check up on Elena at some point...." Call, text, something. Because he suspected once he hit that bed, especially with Damon in it, he was going to not move before morning. Hopefully not move. Because otherwise? He might end up curled up around Damon and with Elena looking at them oddly.
And he really, really wanted to sleep with Damon and really, really didn't want to dump more stuff on Elena tonight.
