"I think I might... have a mental issue."
"What do you mean? What's wrong with you?"
My thoughts were jumbled and conflicted. "It's just that... I feel disgusted..."
"When he touched me, I felt incredibly disgusted."
"Okay, let's not discuss that for now." He propped his cheek on his left hand, a gentle expression on his face that I had never seen before—I always felt this term didn't quite fit him. "How do you feel now?"
I was momentarily taken aback, gazing back at him in a daze. "What?"
"It's just the two of us here, all alone. Does it make you uncomfortable?"
Damn it, I started sweating. "It's not the same; you're different..."
"Why is it different? What's different about it?"
"I'm a man too."
In the next second, I was pushed down onto the blanket. He stared at me intently, his breath moist and scorching. "Does it make you feel disgusted like this?"

"You shut up! So what are you saying we are? Friends? Friends with benefits? Incestuous couple?"
He paused for a moment, then smirked, "I'm going with an incestuous couple."
"...You f**king still want to sleep with me?!"
