Lucas was fighting three kinds of battles here. It wasn't in his nature to act aggressively or push for something; he was far more likely to just lie down and take it if things weren't going his way. He kind of felt like a jerk, too, trying to ditch Tony when he really didn't have many friends other than Jeff. It was obvious Tony didn't want to leave them alone, but... Lucas' hormones were a much more compelling force than his conscience. He was just... struggling to think of a way to be alone with Jeff that didn't come across as blatantly rude or... well... gay.
Lucas shot a helpless look to Jeff; he didn't need to be psychic to make his meaning clear. I've got nothing. You're his friend, can't you think of something that'll convince him to stay behind?
