Despite being in a relationship with you, Blade would never admit out loud that he liked you, ever. At some point, you were starting to believe grumbling and bullying was his way of being affectionate.

"I hate you." He said, his expression unchanged. "A lot, actually. Especially when you fell asleep and drooled all over me, you looked so dumb."

Your boyfriend's "abnormal" behavior soon turned into normal after awhile. Yet, his hand was still caressing your hair out of habit while complaining.
