"Nothing yet! I haven't read the sex parts! I am apparently under self-instructions to consider experimentally not reading all of them so that I will have poorly calibrated expectations and be extra impressed when you, quote, 'show off'."

"You give me such nice presents."

"You are something else."

"And I'm all yours."

"I'm getting that. Getting a bit of a jump on things back there?"

"Wellllll you can't blame a guy for being inspired. I can try to stop."

"You don't have to do that but I make no promises about the ultimate conclusion of this particular interaction."

"So my pleasure is in the palm of your hand. ...only metaphorically, for now."

"I'm not going to make any demands on how you spend your time once you've gone home!"

"No? Not even if I ask you to very nicely?"

"Oh my god. I might need to read all the sex parts before I start experimenting like that and then I'd have well-calibrated expectations and then where would we be."

"We could run the experiment once, and then you read them."

"What if I do something excessively whimsical and then I'm embarrassed later?"

"Well now I'm extremely curious but even if you don't want to tell me I have enough experience with you and more to the point compatibility with your interests that I'm certain I'll like it. ...that sounds less certain than I am. There is nothing you could ask of me that I would not like, you've had the thought that it makes no sense for someone to like the things I do because clearly you like the correct things but it turns out I'm an insane alien from your perspective and I happen to like it when you are completely selfish and use me, and I do mean use me, and entirely do only and exactly what you want."

"Fine. For - speedrunning purposes - you aren't allowed to get off till I'm in love with you again."

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." His erection had been starting to flag but.

"- don't follow that off a cliff if it's, uh, distracting you from the saving-Tokyo groundwork or anything -"

"Yes sir absolutely sir thank you sir—"

"Oh my god."

"U-um I should probably let you r-read?"

"Maybe! I have a lot of stuff to read!"

"Or we could do the experiment. That's something we could do, too." Fuck that's hot. What if he got Haru off but didn't get off, himself. How long would he last. What if. He might actually explode.

"Oh, well, sooner or later I'll read the parts that aren't covered in sticky notes and will have predictable consequences, probably."

"Sooner or later, he says. I'm glad you're getting the spirit."

"The spirit where I can be completely careless and do whatever pops into my head without the step where I try to care about your feelings as a fellow human being, on the one hand, because instead you're some kind of strange magical being, and also the step where I try to limit my - exposure - on the other, since I have it on reasonably good authority that been there, done that. This is a weird spirit to get."
