[He blinked at the man. Steve knew James could be possessive, it was obvious from just interacting period, but if fucking other people wasn't what the guy cared about, what was? He frowned a little, curling his fingers around the hand on his chest. Clearly it was going to take a lot more conversation to make something between them work. It was a good thing he thought it was worth the effort!
Steve sighed at the mention of Jim, his frown turning troubled. That was . . . complicated. He wasn't jealous, not exactly, but he wasn't sunshine and rainbows over the man either. Jim was a nice man, and sexy, and fun. But he didn't feel anything beyond friendship and lust for him. There was none of the intensity and deep emotional attachment he felt for James, and frankly, he wasn't sure he could share. Steve knew he'd probably act badly again in the face of provocation, even if logically he knew there was no basis for it. He gave James' hand a squeeze, wishing he'd lied.
He was about to lose everything, he just knew it.]
I shouldn't have said anything James. I shouldn't have put you in this position.
