[There goes that flip in his stomach, and he runs his fingers carefully once more back and forth against Carter's knuckles. This time there's conscious intent.]

I've only dated three people, and the last was somewhat of a thing I think because we both missed people. I didn't mean it that way, but when I look back... [he gives an awkward shrug.]

You knew you were attracted then. I never thought about it, really. I guess I have been before. I couldn't act on it, because I was dating someone. It was gut feelings in passing, I think. I mean, Brett and probably someone I came close to really almost hating, but he redeemed himself.

[It's weird for Scott to think about it this way now, and realize that he was attracted to different guys, but didn't linger on it at the time. He knew the feeling, but there was so much going on that he couldn't ever allow himself the freedom to think on it.]

You, I didn't even think twice. It was easy.
