Kyle suspects if he backed down now, Alex wouldn't hate him. They might stay friends. Maybe. Except there's nothing in him at all that wants to stop this. Too hard from kissing Alex to even pretend he doesn't want this. Has for longer than he wants to remember because that brings up so much else, the horrible things he did. To Alex.

So instead he follows Alex, keeping tight hold of his hand until they're in the bedroom. Not wanting Alex to even leave, to move away, and so he's moving in instantly as Alex presses up against him.

"This is the part where I admit I don't have a lot of experience and you mock me, right?"
