Reno's ears burned with the blush of embarrassment. He coughed. "Yeah, that's what I thought..."

After a moment he waved his hand quickly, lest Rufus get the wrong impression. "I mean, it's not like I have any expectations of anything, I don't wanna be involved with you again or anything!" Shit, was that insulting? "Not -- not that you weren't good, or you aren't attractive, you are -- "

Gods, this was just getting worse.

Reno sighed, exasperated with himself. "Look, I just want us to be okay -- as normal as we can manage here. Okay?"

As normal as they could now manage after this being Rufus' first impression of the new and improved Reno. Strange, alternate reality sex memories. Reno understood he was asking a lot for Rufus to accept. He just figured he'd give the other man some space until Rufus needed him for something.
