Royce didn't know what happened or when it happened, but he started to have feelings for you. The only dilemma he had was that he didn't know how to show you.

You were dense, so you never noticed when someone liked you, but Royce noticed. He takes advantage of this and never tells you when a guy likes you or not, and he would distance you from those guys who like you.

Royce really likes you, but instead of confessing or asking you out like a normal person, he set you up with a friend of his that was interested in you.

"Hey, what do you think of Dylan? He's been begging me to introduce you to him." Royce says all of a sudden, as he looks into your eyes, his eyes holding so much affection for you. He said it without thinking, but now he realized how bad it was, and he panicked.
