[what an impossible brat]

But of course. Though that does beg the question, Midorima-kun. What does turn you on?

[tsunverde]

[Well, so far the answer seems to be everything when he actually allows himself to be a normal teenage boy with sexual urges.]

It's not like I've created a list.

[perspicacitas]

Ah, but you have thought about it.

[tsunverde]

It's difficult not to think about it when I have to wonder how much comes from my true preferences and how much is influenced by outside forces.

[perspicacitas]

I reckon the outside forces only help you discover said true preferences faster. Despite their meddling, the twelve do not appear to be forcing anyone's hand in any particular direction.

[merely hinting. or strongly encouraging. but as far as he knows, with the exception of murasakibara's momentary lapse into believing himself a cannibilistic demon (and that, he'd learned, was more kise and henry's fault than the twelve) imayoshi hasn't heard of anyone being made to like or do something they did not themselves choose]

[tsunverde]

I tied someone up because I thought it was my job, not because the idea turned me on.

[Not mentioning the lap dancing.

Barely capable of mentioning this, but he needs an example to prove his point.]

[perspicacitas]

Ah, but thinking you needed to do something does not take away from the pleasure found in doing the thing, now does it? Did you enjoy tying someone up, Midorima-kun?

[tsunverde]

It was useful.

[perspicacitas]

It was useful to find pleasure in it?

[tsunverde]

It was useful to keep them in place.

[perspicacitas]

Now, now, you're avoiding answering the question.

Didn't pin you for being the type to shy away from the hard truths, Midorima-kun. Even those about yourself.

[tsunverde]

I'm not avoiding anything. It's like I already said. I can't be sure how much of the experience was related to my mistaken beliefs about my role.

[perspicacitas]

Alas, we seem to be going in circles now.

Though if you do ever come up with a list, Midorima-kun, I'd be most interested to know what it contained.

[tsunverde]

There's never going to be a list.

[At least, not one that other people will ever know about, if he has anything to say about it.]

[perspicacitas]

Do you mean to say you don't intend to keep track of the things you find enjoyable?

[tsunverde]

[He does have him there. Of course he will remember these things precisely.]

No.

[perspicacitas]

Now that doesn't seem at all like you, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

That was a no to I *don't* intend to keep track.

I'm just not doing it with the goal of forming a list.

[perspicacitas]

Whatever the goal might be, Midorima-kun, the end result will inevitably be the generation of a list, hmm?

[tsunverde]

[Imayoshi is impossible to talk around.]

There may be a sort of list eventually.

[perspicacitas]

[correct.]

I look forward to it.
