"Yeah, I never said there was anything wrong with you," Renji said. He rubbed his forehead with one hand. "Most of the time when people say there's something wrong with you, what they really mean is there's something wrong with them. Namely they're an asshole that needs to mind their own goddamn business and get out of your life. But anyway."

The rest, he couldn't understand so much. He shrugged, finally. "If it helps, sex ain't all that people make it out to be. It's a lot of fun. And it's fantastic if you've got someone that you really like." And he wasn't going to get into it more deeply than that. "There's nothing magical about the first time you do it. It's weird and awkward and someone normally puts their elbow in the wrong place. So don't psych yourself out." He cleared his throat, shrugging again. "But you also always got a choice. And don't let yourself think otherwise. It's just a shitty choice."
