The fact that there was even one person on the planet who Jonathan was not only disinterested in scaring, but in fact intent upon protecting was a secret that had to be kept at all costs. The fact that each night, he crawled into bed next to anyone— but especially another male— was as good as blackmail fodder. He didn't want anyone trying to subdue him by going after Jervis, for if anything happened to The Hatter he could never forgive himself, but even more pressing was the simple fact that Jonathan was ashamed, that if anyone were to find out about his… persuasion— well, he didn't want to think about that.
