Re the slashy overtones... this has two prongs. One, Nate's still trying to get over his "training" where he was submissive in a sexual way to mostly everyone around him. Two, Harry's now surrounded by a bevy of bisexual vampires and lyncathopopes. Like Jason, he's going to start asking himself that question. Oh, to be a teenager with all the angst and confusion it entails.
