Immediately, surprised by the tactic - partly because normally Gen didn’t have bunny ears - he blushed deeply. Gen tried not to squirm right away from the sensation - even if they were still very sensitive, the sensation still shivery.

There’s something about being made to wait which was illogically appealing. Maybe it’s part of the appeal of Senku having him like this while he smiled deviously?

“I mean, is it going to count if I lie and pretend to give in early,” Gen tried to keep a playful tone, no matter how much he wanted to blush and whine already. Why were these ears so sensitive? He continued, “or are they going to want my begging to be genuine?”

Senku, at least, would probably be able to tell the difference.
