Jay closes his eyes for a moment, enjoying the touch and not hiding that from Charles. He won't lie to Charles or deny that he finds him very attractive but Charles is taken and that's a line Jay won't cross.
"I know I'm still a mess. Talia healed the physical damage, put back together the broken parts of my brain but there are still things about that that mess me up. I don't sleep right from the memories. I still hold a lot of hate over it. Working for Talia gave me skills I'll need to avenge myself one day." That rage Erik holds, Jay has it too, if forced down further. "I'm not ready to deal with that yet. Having here to hide helps."
And he is hiding. From his world, from himself. "Here I can be just Jay."
