"Oh-- god-- fuck--"

He's gonna fit this entire appendage in his orifice, then! Possibly if he was less full of hormones he would be able to figure out whether this was being accomplished through space distortion or changes to his anatomy or instinctive skills allowing him to push the limits of the technically humanly possible, but right now, on nom cock.

"Fuuuuu--"

Om nom cock coming in his mouth.

A skill has been created by a special action! Having Asher finish in your mouth has created the skill The Nectar. 

Info/Skills/The Nectar

You gain benefits from consuming sexual fluids you have personally extracted from others. (With the Mad Inventor perk: sexual fluids extracted via machines of your own creation that you personally operate.) Every person's precious bodily fluids convey different potencies, hinted at by tastes and sensations you may learn to identify. Mixing synergetic sexual fluids yields greater results, but the fluids must be mixed in situ.

Info/Skills/The Necar/Asher

1) You're the center of attention in any crowd (12 hours).
2) You understand and appreciate the subtleties of classical ballet (24 hours).
3) You won't fail at anything (2 minutes 39 seconds).

Bruce has several thoughts all sort of piled on top of each other.

* Success! With totally awesome moaning.

* Asher is super great.

* Asher's come tastes way better than his own did that one time. Kinda pumpkin-flavored.

* He should totally be cuddling Asher right now. (This one is actionable, and gets implemented.)

* Wow, three level-ups in a row. It's like the early levels of Pokémon. Which is a horrible Skinner box, but he'll worry about that later.

* Better not go near a crowd for twelve hours.

* Oh neat, ballet knowledge! He has no use for this at present, and forgetting it in a day is going to feel weird and wrong, but it's still neat. 

* Holy SHIT, he can't fail at anything for the next two minutes 39 seconds? Okay, if he tries something impossible it'll probably just take him more time than that and then he'll fail, but he should definitely start coming up with good experiment ideas right now and succeed at doing so. Because that's an ambitious useful thing he can do while still cuddling Asher.

Asher, completely unaware of anything that has just happened, cuddles him and says, "you are surprisingly good at blowjobs."

"I guess it's my superpower. Man, I didn't even know I was bi this morning!" He laughs at himself. "You learn something new every day."

"Am I that persuasive?"

"Well, looking back on my experience watching Carl Sagan in Cosmos I'm pretty sure the option was always there and you just pointed it out, but if I was gonna believe anyone could turn a straight guy bi it'd be you."

"I thought I was straight for a while but it turns out actually the thing I was was 'monogamous.'"

"As in, you were dating a girl and lost interest in everyone else? That makes sense. And it's cute."

"Not only that, I lost interest in everyone else for a couple years after we broke up!"

"That's really romantic but also sounds really unpleasant; my sympathies."

"Well, I didn't really mind, because I loved her. --The getting maudlin about ex-girlfriends is not a common feature of hooking up."

"It's fine, get as maudlin as you want." Bruce is still using his cuddle powers. Also Bruce should really clairfy at some point whether this was a one-off hookup or the first in a potential string of hookups or a very sudden start to an attempt at boyfriendhood or what, but he can't come up with a phrasing that doesn't sound stupid and his no-failures power has worn off. He did at least get some good science ideas out of it, though.

Kiss. "You're cute, newbie."

Blush, kiss, "Takes one to know one."

"Oh god, newbie, you blush, that's adorable."

Stupid grin! "Well, I seem to have acquired an endearingly embarrassing nickname, so."

"I could try to think of a different one," he says. "Are you doing research on some interesting sort of animal, should I call you Zebrafish?"

"Newbie is fine, I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't. I do work with mice but Mouse would be even more cutesy." He chuckles at the concept and also at the random mental image of himself with mouse ears.

"Boring," Asher announces. "All biologists work with mice. If I called you 'Mouse' I'd only be able to sleep with one biologist."

"Ah, so you need a unique nickname per hookup. I'm suddenly curious what other ones you've come up with. --If that's not a rude question."

"What, ever? --Well, there's Spider, Raincloud, Sugarplum, Nutcracker, Swan Princess, Lovelace... I just called my ex Robin 'love'..."
