The convoluted addition to their relationship wasn't something that upset Eli nor was it something he was glad for because of the two of them taking so long. He had already committed himself to waiting until Shannon was comfortable enough when it came to sex and while Michelle's addition was speeding up the process, it was also adding in a third person and even now, Eli was wary of sharing Shannon with others despite the fact he was perfectly okay with Shannon having sex with women even while he and Eli were dating.

"Weird, complication, a hot mess. Pick whichever you like best." He watched Shannon toy with the restraints and he could help but glance down at his own wrists, where the fused metal and plastic of Trigger was on his wrist. He hadn't really thought about it, but he would never be able to use regular restraints again without further injuring his wrist. "I doubt it. If you didn't set anything on fire when your dick was in my mouth, then you're not going to have that problem. For one, you'd have to actually have your powers accessible and you don't. On the plus side, you'll never have to deal with what I dealt with when I was a teenager."
