John had always been athletic, always enjoyed running on instinct his body a well-honed machine.

The CIA had valued his ability to think fast and had found new creative ways to make use of his body but if they could have made him an automaton they would have, his feelings a weakness to be trained out of him.

Finch was the only boss he'd ever had who'd cared about John's feelings, sparking a hopeless attraction on John's part.
