[Murdoc sure hopes he's enjoying it, because he's always felt so terribly awkward when put on the spot for affection. It's not that he's not enjoying it on some level himself, he just doesn't want to be a disappointment.
When Dirk rests his head on his chest, he feels a hell of a lot more reassured in the fact that he's doing this right. Although now he's a little concerned because the shift in position made his heart flutter ever so slightly. How pathetically girly of him. He can't help thinking it's endearing the way the other man is nestled against him, but it embarrasses him anyway. Now is really not the time to be thinking about that.
He clears his throat and gives Dirk another pat on his back, trying to look so serene about all of this.]

[His voice is soft, sort of uncertain. He can do it, but should he? Dirk needs him right now, so there's no way in hell he isn't going to stay. But he can't help but feel that kick of guilt telling him he shouldn't be here.]
Why don't we sit down?
[That would be great right now. Murdoc's back aches and he can feel himself getting jelly legs from this whole situation.]
