[That was fair. Kavinsky liked Skov too- he liked all of his boys, of course. But he wasn't sure about romantically. Proko was different, though he might not have fully realized the extent things were different with him. Or with Eli. But he was starting to, maybe.
Especially with the way Elijah touched him. Kavinsky fought the urge to tip his face into Eli's hand, lest he give himself away as a glutton for physical contact.
Normally, he would have replied with an easily confident of course, they do, even though he knew better. He was sure there were people who didn't find him attractive at all, people who hated him. But that wasn't important right now. The important thing was how he couldn't look away from Eli's eyes, how badly he wanted to kiss him.]

[It was maybe a juvenile question but he couldn't think of any better way to get to the bottom of things. Elijah had to like someone, didn't he? And he'd said- he said Kavinsky made things better. K might have played like he was doing his boys a favor by pulling them to his side but the truth was he was desperately lonely. He needed them just as much as they needed him, maybe more. He wanted someone to care about him, he wanted to feel loved and appreciated.]
