Reasons Why Lucien Could Have Had a Crush on Feyre

-a court of wings and ruin-

So, I know about the mate bond between Lucien and Elain, but still, as Rhys explains, it's mainly sexual. As strong as it is, it probably does not interfere with previous feelings. But, as before, let's stick to the facts:

- he accept Feyre "flirts". Feyre flirts with him, at the beginning, and even if he shows signs of discomfort when it happens in front of Tamlin, he never rejects her;

- he accepts to sleep in the same tent as her;

- when Ianthe make sexual advances towards him,  he only blushes when Feyre shows up;

-he kind of loses his temper when Feyre is hurt by Tamlin (I don't really remember how it happens, but I think Tamlin caused some forniture to break (?)), which, as I wrote in the third "chapter" has only happened to him once;

- when Feyre pretends to have a nightmare and look for him to comfort her, she says he is too pure/innocent to realize the trap she set for Tamlin (she want his ex to find her wearing reveling clothes while hugging him-shirtless). We all know that Lucien is describes as astute and smart, though (his mask was literally a fox). It seems like she knew - maybe unknowingly - that she causes him to let his guard down, and we all know what that means;

- he kneel at her feet (I already talked about what this means);

- Tamlin is now clearly jealous (already talked about this, too);

- he escorts her to her room and holds her hand: yes, Feyre was clearly flirting to create discord between Tamlin and Lucien himself, but he allows everything to happen, despite knowing about Tamlin's jealousy and his mate bond;

-She has a considerable influence on him (the Bogge scene, where she convinces him to help her sending it against the Hybern twins);

- when Feyre says she'll be fine going with Lucien - refusing Tamlin's company- (i don't remember the context, sorry), Lucien acts extremely guilty... why should HE feel guilty, when Feyre did everything?;

- connected to the previous point, Tamlin clearly blames Lucien of all Feyre's flirts, which leads me to believe he thinks that, despite the years of loyalty, Lucien would actually do such thing;

- Lucien's brothers joke about how Feyre has cheated on Tamlin with him. It's weird, because probably everyone knows that Feyre had  a special bond with Rhys, but they seems to feel like the two have a special connection;

- having to spend the night close to avoid freezing, while Feyre shows signs of discomfort, he never does (i recognize this as a weak point as he's really good as hiding his emotion... );

- he never really bonds with the Inner Circle, he seems out of place there, yet he has left Tamlin, his only friend, that's how strong Feyre's influence is.

So, I think this is it. If you disagree, as I said at the beginning, i'm open to discussions. Also, this is only  a theory of mine, which i made just out of fun! THANK Y'ALL FOR READING :)
