You--[Lots of words come to mind right now, "asshole" being at the top, but Richie just gets to his feet and moves away from the couch, eyes on the move. There isn't any music even on, just the low sound of the TV as something else blows up while the hero dodges death by a hair's breadth.
There's a guy standing in the door way between the dining room and the kitchen where somehow there are still four people going at it on the twister mat. He doesn't look like he's paying any a particular attention, and so Richie walks up to him, hoping it means he's not going to flip out if Richie randomly approaches him.
And he doesn't bother hiding his action as he pulls his phone from his pocket and starts typing on it. When he gets to the guy, he holds up his phone, letting him read when he'd written and then sliding it back into is pocket. The guy is staring at him for a minute but smiles back at him with a shrug and a "Sure," and Richie somehow isn't collapsing dead from the relief.
Maybe not having to verbally ask was a good thing. He didn't have to make a fool of himself tripping over the words.
The dude was nice, even letting Richie do a bit of "leading" in their dance, but he kept some distance between them until the end. He caught a glimpse of Kyle over his shoulder and leaned in just then, mouth close to his ear as if he was going to say something...
...and then stuck his tongue out right at his boyfriend.]
