[Affection comes and goes like the ocean's tides, doesn't it? Perhaps one day he'll harbor feelings for Gentaro and the next day he'll have abandoned them. It's no concern of Kaeya's either way— passing affection or lingering, none of it can ever be real. He isn't the type to indulge in such flights of fancy, much less actually let himself be happy. Who does that?
Ah, but he does notice the lack of eye contact. He'd call Gentaro out on it, but that'd mean he'd take note and correct his behavior so it didn't happen again, right? So it goes uncommented on as Kaeya breaks into a light jog, expecting Gentaro will follow.]
And what if I am? Would you slap me and grasp at your pearls?
[ Who does that? Gentaro does. Dice and Ramuda do bring him happiness, but it feels stolen and undeserved. His two selves feel constantly at war, and he's not sure what'll happen when he's forced to confront the biggest lie he's told. Has been telling, ever since that day he donned a style that wasn't his and donned a mask he'd never had a right to.
... But, anyway. Gentaro keeps pace beside Kaeya and raises his eyebrows. ]
Why, Kaeya, I have terribly delicate sensibilities. I would simply pass out. As for slapping you? Hmm... certainly not. Violence is a terrible thing, you know, and I am frightfully offended you would suggest that I am capable of such a thing. I would not choose to risk it, even if you were the type to enjoy a bit of punishment.
[He'd much rather dole out punishment than be on the receiving end of it, but the way Gentaro phrases that makes him chuckle. It's almost as if he's digging for hints, trying to pry without being overly obvious about it. Hm!]
So then I ought to be the one to slap you instead? Perhaps you'd enjoy it more than I.
[Of course it is. Everything Kaeya just said hints at it being an exciting idea, but if Gentaro's going to play stupid games, Kaeya's going to give him stupid prizes.]
Oh my, I get it now. You want to be spanked, don't you? You really are a naughty boy.
[Hell never felt so good, eh Gentaro? Kaeya breathes out a laugh, those breaths coming out the slightest bit labored once they've jogged a few laps around the building.]
If that's all you want, then consider it done. What kind of food do you fancy, Genny?
[That terrible nickname isn't going anywhere, or at least not until Gentaro speaks up to suggest a better alternative.]

I wonder how confident you are in that theory. I'm rather accustomed to taking hits, you know, and none of them have been particularly pleasant.

[Kaeya's no less accustomed to this dance. He'll gladly match Gentaro step for step.]
The right kind of pain from the right person can be quite pleasurable... but from the sounds of it, you wouldn't know that. I almost feel bad for you.
no subject
[ Gentaro looks more amused than anything. .... Of course, it does annoy him just slightly at the hint of pity, but he'll ignore that for now. ]
You needn't feel bad for me. It's simply something I've yet to experience... and that's an exciting idea, isn't it?

Oho? Is that what you think? Hmm... And here I thought you'd at least take me to dinner first. Such terrible manners.

[ Gentaro huffs a bit, which is actually more than he intends because of the exertion. ]
Do try a little harder, won't you?
