"Mm. All the more reason to experiment," Gen said cheerfully. He wondered if Senku would be able to get off work now? Patience, he told himself. Patience.

And they had more important things to discuss first, anyway.

Gen admired his blush, feeling his chest squeeze with feeling from Senku's confessions. It's awkward, true, but it's honest. The bluntness was real, and incredibly refreshing - he felt, if they could keep up that honesty, he'd always know where he stood with Senku.

"Well, since we are romantically entangled, Senku-chan ..." Gen thought that's where they were going, with Senku finally returning his confession, right? "... then you should know that I enjoy a great many things. Whatever you'd like to try, I'm game for, my dearest. But ... that being said. If we're trying something and you're uncomfortable, if you need to stop at any time - even if you think I'm enjoying it - please let us stop anyway. I wouldn't enjoy it if I knew you weren't ... if you weren't doing okay."

Despite all of that, though, Gen offered a shy smile. "If you'd agree to that? I'll try anything with you, my dear. Even if many of the squares on this card are things I've never tried myself before."
