"Well, I could, it's just that it'd never work." With how Eli was after he had returned, hiding and lying from everyone he had know, it had been a relief that he could be honest with Shannon, though he had hated it when he had first returned because of the torture he had gone through while he was gone. It was better now that he was with Shannon and dating him and was definitely a comfort that he knew that Shannon would always see the real him despite being blind.

"Alright," he said before what felt like a blanket of static covered them and then was absorbed into their skin. It wasn't the same type of feeling Shannon was used to during scenes and felt more like something resting in the back of his mind, letting him now that the illusion was on. Eli grabbed a second clamp and then pulled up Shannon's shirt, expecting him to hold it up while Eli placed both clamps on his nipples, tightening them just enough to be on and exerting a good amount of pressure, but not enough to truly cause agony. He then looked to Shannon expectantly, waiting for his reaction to it.
