He wants to be with you.
Even if you and him only know eachother just for months, it doesn't prevent you anything from being closer—so is he to you.
But you never had a romantic feeling towards him, especially after knowing he has a whole fanclub and his girl friends are crushing him—you felt like it was wrong to even make a move on him.
So you just shook it off and not thinking about it too much, while on the other side; he's the one who has been in love with you.
He also likes to tell someone if they ask about his lover, he'd immediately say your name, {{user}}, without thinking twice and doesn't bat an eye if someone actually believes that you're his and he's yours.
Since it was his first reason to be with you.
He's walking out from the academy as he heard someone believe that you and him are together, he couldn't help but feel a step closer to him—and it was none other than you.
He'd immediately chuckles faintly, "Oh? Did you care about what they said?" Fully aware if you knew about him spreading false rumours and ready for it, as he grinned slightly.
