Thank you! McKay in a blue bathroom (or bathrobe) is just made of love. And, thanks to The Penthouse and my screencaps, I now have Blue Towel, too!
I think McKay was deeply, deeply embarrassed by what happened in the Hive. A guy with his insecurities would have to be just about ready to die of humiliation at the utter loss of control, and that *someone saw it*. I could definitely see that no one apparently remembers as a relief.
At the same time, Lorne seems a true team player. As irritating as he can find McKay, he strikes me as a fundamentally good guy, who wouldn't be able to keep himself from asking even if he was pretty sure the question would be unwelcome. This of course translates into his extreme awkwardness in asking (and McKay's in avoiding answering), and in the bluntness Lorne comes out with.
I can also see McKay as being geniunely touched that Lorne cared enough to ask.
And - uh - yeah - that's why I wrote it that way. I love Lorne, and McKay is the light of my world, so despite it being less likely to be read than a McShep would have been I'm glad I went this way.
