Sex stories.” He tapped the front of his forehead. “Sex-adjacent?” Simon tilted his head with the question, clearly trying to figure out what he was talking about. “You might have noticed that, ahh, I have a tendency to, umm, you know, sort of, redirect conversations.” “Yeah, that’s probably something you should know about me,” Aaron admitted, grimacing a little. “What, like the Joker?” Aaron asked, thinking of the gruesome, stretched smile of Batman’s foe. “In a good way, right? Not in a creepy way?” Simon asked with mock fear on his face, and joined Aaron when he began laughing. Which was surprising, considering that he was usually all about the overshare. “I was thinking about your smile,” he offered his date, wanting to give the man the truth but maybe not the whole truth. No problem.” He shrugged, feeling like his arms were no longer under his control. “Was it because I said I was glad you were nervous? I only said that because I am too, and didn’t want to be all nervy alone.” The contact was literally electric, a shock jolting the visual clear, and Aaron nodded fervently. “Are you okay?” Simon asked, reaching over the table and resting a hand on Aaron’s.
