[He certainly does notice the way Jack responds in body language. Nothing negative or fearing at all. Curious, maybe, and leaning in like that...
Zelos may be used to many things in terms of relationships. He knows people. He can get how they work and see what they want, most of the time. And he knows physical attraction. He's wanted people before and enjoyed that sort of thing before and had fling upon fling, but this was so completely different. Emotions attaching themselves to each action, hope seeming to rest on the way Jack's leaning close like that...
But then he's back. Not too terribly far-- not far enough for rejection. But far enough to pull away and make his heart drop a bit, and Zelos can only respond with a sly smirk.]

It has him rethinking more than a few things. Can he really do this? He's not so sure.
But right now, in this moment? Maybe for once he has the strength to take a leap.]
If that's how it's going to be, I guess I better run full on after everything I want, huh? [Now that's a different tone. And he doesn't pull back at all from his leaning or peering position, eyes focused fixedly on Jack's.]
