[ Considering the god's normal reluctance toward physical contact, this exchange of just a few minutes has already been going on for a quite a while. And given how long it had been since the last time the Technical Boy had relaxed around another person enough for any sort of physical intimacy-- better not focus on that.
He sucks in a breath through his teeth in a chastising sort of sound. ] Something. I hate that. [ He considers telling K not to refer to himself that way ("Use someone, not something."), but he fears K will take it as some kind of an order. He also knows that the thought is leaking through the red string against his will, and he frowns.
At the touch on his wrist, Tech Boy looks down at it, eyes widening for a moment but not pulling away. When he looks back, he meets K's eyes, squinting a little as if trying to figure him out. Tech Boy's remembering their conversation they'd never finished in Rapture right before the splicer attack. "Would you ever want to have a relationship with someone who isn't human, and isn't a god?" He plays that back, in case K's forgotten.
With the hand still holding onto K's shirt, he taps his index finger against K's chest. ]
