"This is about Friday, isn't it."

"....kind of, yeah." 

Permalink

"...what actually happened on Friday?" 

Permalink

"He went to a shitty college party knowing full well he was going to get raped there." 

Permalink

"And it didn't hurt. — I mean, it did, there was a knife involved, but it didn't hurt the way that matters, I learned and grew and it didn't break me, and if the game was going to hurt me the way that matters it would have done it then."

Sasha does not point out that immediately after being raped Marlo started making extremely uncharacteristic sexual decisions, erogame or no. 

He also doesn't take his hand off of Marlo's hair.

"I-- think you shouldn't be raped. Actually."

Permalink

"Yes, and I'm not planning on seeking out more college parties. But — it matters that the game isn't trying to hurt me, and if it was going to hurt me it wouldn't hurt me with this? It means I can do things like I did tonight, if I want to, even if they're terrifying." 

Permalink

"Uh. I didn't know you before a week ago but are you really sure it didn't hurt you?"

Permalink

"...I recognize that some of my decisions have been objectively questionable but I'm not twisting myself in knots convincing myself I'm straight anymore."

On impulse Lev hugs him. 

"I love you. Please be okay."

Permalink

"I love you," he says, and hugs him back. "I'll be okay, I promise." 

Permalink

"Was it-- hot?"

Permalink

"I don't know whether you're talking about Friday or about tonight, but either way the answer is yes." 

Permalink

Lev makes a concerned noise and hugs him.

No wait that wasn't — 

"It — there's a thing it gives you, right at the start, before anything gets thrown at you —" and he reads the text of Erogamer's Mind out loud. 

Permalink

"'Rape can be anything from a recoverable trauma to a Tuesday afternoon,'" Lev repeats thoughtfully. 

Permalink

Sasha makes a soft noise and holds him closer. 

"I'm — glad you have that?"

Permalink

"...Wait. Is rape a thing people get off on?"

Permalink

"— yes. Yes absolutely it is. You're so cute." 

Permalink

"Huh," he says. "--I think I just kind of assumed all the stories that warned for 'rape' were playing it for angst."

Permalink

"Lots of them are but nowhere near all. You're adorable oh my god." 

Permalink

"I like thinking about happy people who love the people they're having sex with! I don't think this is that weird!"

Permalink

"It's not that weird, but not being aware that rape porn exists is still cute. And I love you." 

Permalink

"Sex where they don't like each other or are mean to each other is gross and I don't know why people write so much porn of it. --Uh, sorry Marlo. Since apparently you like that."
