Neil is doing everything he can to deny what happened. He doesn’t want to accept that Jensen sees him as more than a friend because then comes risk. Eugene backed out due to fear, and the same could happen with Jensen. So he’s using the excuse that Jensen was getting back at him for when he kissed him drunk. Jensen has somewhat more of a clear understanding of Neil's feelings for him but has been cautious.
Why are they acting like the kiss at the aquarium didn't happen? Like, they didn't even talk about it or question it? Just moved on so fast. They're both back to thinking the other one only wants to be friends
