That voice yelling about the red alert is no longer little or in the back of his mind. Jim's silence definitely says too much.
Finn can't say that he's serious about any sort of romantic relationship right now, anyway. Even back home (maybe especially back home) a person couldn't be serious about that sort of thing. But Finn's also not particularly nuanced in this, like relationships and subtly and chill.
Which is why he balks and starts babbling. "I- I didn't- I mean, not like- It's just teasing. I didn't mean like- There wasn't really any- I mean, there might be other people, I don't know. You could be a test run if you want to. I mean, not that you'd want to. I don't want you to think I don't like you because I do, but you can be whatever you want, obviously, I don't control you. I'm fine with anything. Anything's good. I mean, not anything, you're not just anything, but I didn't mean to imply- I mean, I say dumb stuff and I don't always- That's not an excuse, though. That's on me. I wasn't trying to- I mean, I was trying but I wasn't, and I wasn't supposed- I mean- That-"
This is usually the part where he shuts up and walks away, but pushing James off of him to run doesn't feel like a very good plan. In lieu of that, he covers his face with his hands. "I'm sorry. I'm so bad at this."
