Ah. He's got a hand stroking his face now, warm and comforting, and his eyes slip shut before he even thinks that it might be the wrong kind of signal to send. It might not. All the lines are blurring right now and it's not like before, not a curse or another trick of the gods, it's coming from him and from Connor. Special, one-of-a-kind Connor. And Sophie, who doesn't appear to have a jealous bone in her body - who has, in fact, been encouraging this subtly from the beginning.
Whatever he's getting himself into here, he's not opening his eyes. There's nothing to prove, no one here who needs to know exactly what a big, strong, heterosexual manly man he is. Explore, Connor said, and when has John ever been about adhering to strict rules in any context?
His lips part very slightly, but he can't make the final move. All he can do is show this much readiness and hope that Connor will accept it for what it is.
