There was so much going on in those few moments that he was simply stunned standing there staring into Alec's eyes. Emotions, thoughts, confusion.
Was it really okay to flirt with Alec? Not simply because of Magnus--and why was Magnus okay with this? Would Jack be okay with this? This was why he was a mess. He wanted things, felt things, that didn't fit with the other things he wanted and felt.
Slowly he relaxed, forgetting for the moment his need for underwear, and tried to focus on one thing at a time. Reaching up to lightly touch the cut and bruise. He hadn't looked in a mirror, just cleaned up the blood and ran out the door to get some air.
"I...fell." He had enough going on right now. Bringing Christian Scott into this mess was just too much. And then he thought of what Casey Jones had said. He was a bad liar. "Into a glass window."
But that wasn't important in comparison to other things.
"It is technically a bath." His gaze dropped and he immediately looked up at the ceiling for a moment before attempting to meet Alec's gaze again. It was the touch that was most distracting. He thought he'd forgotten what it felt like. Simple touches. "You talked to Magnus about me?"
