Sorry, oh my god, no. You just caught me off guard, and I lost my words for a moment. I meant yes. Yes please, even. [His hand properly cups Muldoon's cheek this time, and he leans up to kiss the corner of his mouth, the sharp line of his cheekbone.]
I only hadn't kissed you before this because I wasn't sure you'd kiss me back. I needed more data to back my theory. But I'm much more certain of my conclusion, now.
[Well that's a relief. This time when Muldoon's face twitches it's his lips tugging into a brief smile.]
Good. [With a small twist of his lips he admits,] I know I rushed into things a bit here. I have a habit of getting... overzealous. [And he doesn't want to scare Casper off. That would make things extra awkward.]
Robert, stop -- [He turns the warden's face towards his, giving him a sweet kiss before looking him in the eye again.] I want this. I want all of this. With you.
It's not rushing it if it's something we both want, right? And lord knows I'm the most enthusiastic person on the planet. Overzealous doesn't bother me.
I would enjoy that. Either tea or whiskey, whatever you're feeling. I'd say we could finish our conversation, but I can't even remember what we were talking about.
[Another kiss, this time to Muldoon's chin, before he settles back a little to let the warden move away. It is a vulnerable sort of moment, but Casper feels good about it. Hopeful, at the start of something new.]

Good. [A bit repetitive, but firm.] Life's too short to be holding back when you know what you want. Especially when the other person wants it too.
Speaking of life being too short, are you sure you still don't want that drink?
[He's feeling a touch vulnerable, and naked, and he's looking for an excuse to shake off that feeling while also taking care of the other man.]
