[Careful, Tony. With all these hugs, Richard's going to start feeling like he's special.
He laughs and wraps an arm tight around the teenager, ruffling his free hand through his white hair then getting that one around his shoulders too, hugging him tightly.]
[It probably won't be easy and Richard knows he's cutting it fine but he wants this and as long as Tony wants it too, he'll find a way to make it happen.
This kid deserves more than the kind of life that Richard has dealt with and he's in a position to be able to offer it.]
Then.. I got some things with me that I need to start lookin' through.
[If he's dreaming please don't wake him up, that would be cruel. Tony has no idea what it would take to even accomplish, but he's willing to give it a try. He'd absolutely love to have a family, though.]
Does this mean I should start calling you 'dad', might be a little weird at this point.
[He's trying to joke to cover up just how touched he really is about this don't mind him.]
Sure I'll go over it with you, can't say I'll understand any of it. [He shot back a grin. Yes, he'd try, but they both knew he wouldn't understand legal jargon in the least.]
