There's a part of him that'd rather be with Una, or Wichita (despite her escapades in stealing his phaser) or Carol Danvers, but Kyle's not so bad himself. He'd never really flirted with intent regarding Kyle, not in the beginning, because although Jim could find some men attractive his preference had always been pretty clear.

But this is... exploration of intent, and that's throwing him off a bit. He never thinks about sex this much, he just jumps right into it. Kyle'd asked for space, and time, and Jim likes him just enough that he's willing to wait, which is uncharacteristic enough of his own preferences that it's got him suspicious and vaguely irritated about the whole process. There's a reason he doesn't usually sleep with people he considers friends. Things get murky, and there's always that chance--

(He thinks about Gaila, and shunts that aside)

"Well, I won't say I'm not open to the suggestion." He holds out a hand, to pull Kyle up if he takes it.
