Alastair shrugged stiffly. "Sex is just sex. It's nothing deep and romantic, at least not to me."

He paused to listen, and then shook his head. "No it's not. It's everything a friend should be like. Or a brother. That's all it is. Hanging out, chatting, playing video games and stuff? That's just plain old normal friend stuff. Don't make it out to be anything more." He didn't want to have to pull back from Bakura, stop being friendly so as not to encourage him, so he was going to try firm words, first. If those didn't get through, the other solution would have to be tried.
