"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?"

"Why is it different? What's different about it?"
"I'm a man too."

He paused for a moment, then smirked, "I'm going with an incestuous couple."
