"you've gotta keep looking at it," time said, fingering shark and rubbing their t-dick while the spiral played on the screen.

"you can just fuck me normally," shark said, their eyes still wandering. "hell, you can just hypnotize me normally, too. you really don't have to condition me with spirals."

"well, of course i don't have to. but it's funny."

"you can't just do stuff like this because it's funny to you."

"i mean, i can. i'm doing it right now. come on, just stare... it'll feel good."

they finally, reluctantly looked back at the screen. "i mean, anything'll feel good if you tell me, but like..."

"oh, come on. you want to be conditioned in all kinds of ways, don't you?" time murmured, steadily touching shark with more intensity as they watched the spiral. "you don't think it'd be fun to drop and get horny after i show you a gif on my phone for a few seconds?"

"i mean, it's fine," they said, their breath hitching, "but, like, it could be anything else."

"like you didn't blush and look away and have to pause that music video when there was a part with a spiral in it?"

"man, come on, that was..."

"i even picked out a nice, simple, slow one, like you wanted. it's not so bad, is it? stop thinking so much about it... just imagine that it makes you stupid and horny while you stare at it... just let it feel good."

"you're just..."

"shh... just stare... don't say anything. let your jaw go slack... come on... just open your mouth a bit..."

since time told them not to say anything, they couldn't anymore. their lips parted.

"yeah, there you go... good boy... just like that. just let me train you. you don't have to think about it. i make the decisions. you're gonna do this because i want you to. isn't that right? just nod your head for me."

their thoughts were already starting to melt. they nodded, just staring at the screen, and time's touches became more and more sensitive, more intense.

they really had no idea why they'd been arguing so much a minute ago. the spiral itself wasn't all that exciting yet, but... it wasn't bad, or anything.

time continued fingering them, but started groping their chest with the hand that had been fondling their t-dick, rubbing and pinching their nipple.

they moaned, their tongue slipping out of their mouth.

"yeah, that's right. that's what i thought. you're going to remember this nice, brainless, horny feeling, every time you see this spiral. we're just going to keep doing this, until you're properly trained, alright? until you always feel like this. until i can make you stupider just looking at it for a few seconds. you'll be so much more manageable then, huh?"

they stared deeply at it, not really thinking about anything, just connecting the feeling to the visual, connecting the pulses and waves with the steady movement on the screen. when they just sat there blankly like that, they could almost feel like it was all just the spiral. maybe even that tiredness and that feeling of eyestrain was good...

the touches themself felt distant, just melting into a vague kind of pleasure, even when shark was aware that time was touching them a little more roughly, treating them more and more like a toy or a piece of meat. the idea of time doing that just because they knew they were too distracted to care, just because they were too busy staring at the spiral to really pay attention... it made them want to cum mindlessly like that, almost not even realizing what was happening at all.

it was hot... time was right. of course they were right.
