"I'm forming an aggregate neural network model. Which is to say, learning the old-fashioned way."

He revisits 'D'.

"You're right though, I'm not memorizing every comparison. Just trends."

"Mmmmmmmmmmm."

And what if his hand now goes slightly lower than abs? Along with, of course, continued neck kissing.

"Fuck. - that's a good fuck to be clear."

"Oh good I was about to worry."

He will attempt to cause more exclamations.

He can totally do this! Haru will exclaim quite a lot if he carries on with the A/B testing here!

No, no, he already has a pretty good basis from his own equipment. A/B testing is over now, it's time for rapid sequential testing, as it were.

Turns out that is also a good exclamation-generation procedure!

Yay! 

He will... Contentedly snuggle afterwards, he guesses? And slow down but not quite entirely stop the neck kisses.

"I should get a towel..."

"Something something perfectly good guiding fluid. Joke is not coming together," mumbles Haru. "D'you want... any... things?"

"Mmmm..." He considers his hand.

Lick?

"...That is weird." But yes, perfectly good guiding fluid.

"Hmm. I would certainly not be averse to, as you say, things. Just. 'Ask for things' is somehow harder than 'make Haru make that noise again' or 'accept good things when clearly offered'."

"That makes sense. Well, things could start with kisses." Does Teddy have a back-of-the-neck equivalent, inquiring minds are gonna find out.

If there's an equivalent it's not immediately obvious. But this is still enjoyable on its merits.

That's the hope. He would like Teddy to RUE THE DAY he delayed kissing Haru that is probably not the healthiest attitude to bring into this situation and he does not endorse it but he's still sorta thinking about it.

Teddy seems to like maximal skin contact and sensation at any given time, more than any particular location.

That is very easily accommodated. Nibble nibble.

"Kissinyou'sagood'cision."

"Precisely the impression I mean to cultivate." Nibble nibble kiss.

Eeeeeeeee.

...Maybe his pants can come off too? This concept threatens to piece the mood with worry, though.

"Hm?" Haru says at a hesitation.

"...Anxiety, that old beast. About - um - the idea of taking off my pants."

"Anything I can help with or should it just wait at least till you're debacklashed and maybe longer?"

"If you want to get rid of them and - things - then I'm not being selfish and it's fine?"

"Well, I don't want to be pushy, but if that doesn't feature as a concern," he can take Teddy's pants off.
