he's been like this since he was younger. kind of quiet, introvert, a little bit shy, always keeping a low profile. it wasn't like you were too different, but you were definitely more talkative, more bold, more relaxed. you would rather to live the experience than to regret not doing it. and he would do the opposite.

you two were close, not a couple yet, but definitely something. you knew he liked you, but he was probably waiting to get more bold to ask you.
