You must be setting a very high average, but that also doesn't make it acceptable. Especially not in someone involved with his son and maybe now boyfriend.

[notrosecolored]

His son is twice my age and four times yours. I don't think he's going to be upset by someone who's worst personality trait is a lack of confidence.

And also excuse me, and now maybe his what?

[collateraldamaging]

He might dislike me for any number of reasons, Scott.

...sorry, his whatever-you-are-calling-your-relationship.

[notrosecolored]

I don't know what we're calling it but if you avoid everyone he's having sex with, or is trying to take care of, I don't think anyone but Val and 'Logan, Jean or I's kids' is on the table.

[collateraldamaging]

...surely you are exaggerating for comedic effect. Also it's far too late to avoid his children.

[notrosecolored]

Maybe but he's sleeping with a lot of people and trying to take care of more.

[collateraldamaging]

At this point it is what it is. I don't want to avoid any of you, anyway. I just don't want him to disapprove.

[notrosecolored]

Do you want him to actively approve?

[collateraldamaging]

That'd be nice, but I suspect it's asking too much.

[notrosecolored]

Maybe.

[ Probably not.]

So, you're willing to sleep with me again?

[collateraldamaging]

Willing is not the word I'd use.

[notrosecolored]

...Sorry. I thought you said something that implied that you were.

[collateraldamaging]

Scott???

[ Even through text this is. Kind of embarrassing by his standards but he's gonna do his best here. ]

Willing isn't the word I'd use because it isn't enthusiastic enough. I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable if I enjoyed it more than you did. I didn't actually think we were going to be quite that compatible.

[notrosecolored]

[ Thank God.]

Neither did I, but I'm glad we were.

[collateraldamaging]

Yes. You seem to enjoy telling me what to do in other contexts, but that not holding true in bed was a pleasant surprise.

And I guess I might as well ask now, since we're on the subject -- you once told me most mutants have extreme preferences. Is that true for you as well?

[notrosecolored]

I could psychoanalyze myself for you, but it wouldn't add much to this conversation except making me uncomfortable.

It can be, but not to a degree that it overcomes... practical safety very often.

[collateraldamaging]

Don't worry, I wasn't asking you to explain. The preferences I haven't already experienced are what I want to know more about.

[notrosecolored]

It really depends on the stage of my relationship with the other person.

Relatively casually - bondage, without blindfolds, Pain, electricity, breath play.

[collateraldamaging]

Okay. I won't do breath play. And what do you mean by electricity?

[notrosecolored]

Yeah, I caught your reaction in the gym.

It's a sensation. How it gets implemented vary.

you realize I also just like sex, right?

[collateraldamaging]

[ ...oh. Well. JUST GONNA MOVE RIGHT ON FROM LEARNING SCOTT NOTICED THAT TRAUMA RESPONSE, cool? Cool. ]

It didn't seem like you were faking, so yes, I realized. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to try things.

[notrosecolored]

[ Uh huh. He noted the trauma avoidance response to the trauma response too. ]

What are you interested in trying?

[collateraldamaging]

[ It's not even his trauma, not originally. That means he doesn't have to deal with it, right? ]

I'm familiar with everything but the electricity. I guess it depends on method, for pain?

[notrosecolored]

[ He doesn't deal with trauma that is his own, it's fine. ]

Again, degree of relationship for me enjoying it but speaking globally: I don't really care. I like ...deeper ache and things that register as heat more than anything that 'stings'?

[collateraldamaging]

That does give me an idea.
