After Adam trying to keep as much distance between them as possible, Alec didn't expect him to suddenly forget about personal space. "I told you that because I know who else lives in the Institute." Beings who were far more attractive than him and more interesting. If they considered the Downworlders who occasionally visited, Alec wasn't anywhere in the list of the 'hottest' people at the Institute.

Somehow even with all those people that he could have been interested in, Adam had thought he was the one worth having a crisis over. That still didn't seem real until Adam grinned at him and placed his hands on Alec's hips. Realizing that he was starting to blush, he took a slow breath, trying to keep from looking too much like an idiot. "That suggests that I did it on purpose. I had no idea that you'd be interested in me."
