[ That smile is sheepish, the way he hesitates around the words the perfect amount of hesitant. Wash is still guarded, but really because of who he is, more than anything else, because of the judgment calls he made before he isn't letting go of. Even then, Byerly is. Convincing.
But, well. Of all the things Wash might be nervous or shy or wary about, sex is, actually, not at all one of them. He's terrible at handling flirting because it's much, much easier to cut to the chase, or to at least get some awkwardness out of the way before he can get in there to the part he actually knows how to handle. If all Byerly wants out of him is to talk about sex? He can do that. See where it takes them. ]
