There's no need to pretend. Eli already finds Michael interesting on his own. He is curious as to why exactly the other man has nothing to with himself on the weekends. Eli knows Michael said his family lives out of town but still. Michael is nice, genuine, and kind, most people liked those qualities. For him not to have friends or other people in his life is kind of baffling to Eli. He really wants to ask more questions as to why, it's a very distinct urge he feels to know more, but he thinks Michael make think he's being nosy.
Instead, he just focuses on making a plan. It's what he's good at. "Hey, I know man. After we'll just eat at my place. I'll round up my other friends. Jason and Iris were on that cruise too, I know we could all use a good time."
He's already assembling things in his head. After he leaves he'll even give Iris a call. Maybe he can even invite Isaiah if he's out of the hospital.
