I think it's a case of Percy's thinking everyone loves him<em>just happening</em>to be true when it comes to Silas. It's probably not a<em>sexual</em>love right at the time when the game starts. Silas looks at Percy and Percy just doesn't seem as dull and pointless as everyone else and makes Silas feel just a little less cold and bitter and that, maybe, just maybe, a hug from Percy would be a warmth that would make everything inside Silas that is cold and distant melt away.<br/><br/>Silas is totally cherry. He's never even been kissed.<br/><br/>I know this isn't 'wheel and deal' time, but I wouldn't feel super-comfortable just saying "I PICKED YOU. TAKE MY STRINGS. TAKE THEM LIKE ONE OF MY DIRTY FRENCH GIRLS." you know? I mean, it's true we signed up for that when we signed up for MonsterHearts, but I just feel better leaving the option to refuse open.
