Pete was the first person of color that Clark really ever met besides his savior back when he was little. He's learned that comfort and safety comes with people who have darker skin...
He's transferred those feelings of trust, safety and comfort from his rescuer to Pete. He's becoming aware of sexual urges, natural at his age (13 or so) so IMO it makes a ton of sense psychologically. I mean it'd be easy for the feelings of comfort and safety and trust he has for Pete to become sexual, but I'm hardly a psychiatrist.
