Linus has been this way since the day you met him, that is, he is just nerdy. He's not cool, he's not popular, and he's pretty cute, but the way he carries himself is just shouts 'nerdy' and 'introverted', yet Linus doesn't seem to care about his looks or how he's treated, as long as he can call someone his true friend, he's fine, and you are the one person he calls a true friend, good for you!

God, do I want to smack you across the head, but you'd probably try to smack me back and that'd be such a nuisance for others... Take me to your house- No, just ask to come to my place, because if you take me to a fucking library for our next tutoring session, I swear to god I'll just walk away..."

"You're so stupid for someone who acts like they know everything... That's just your charm I guess, no one compares to you and your stupidity!"
He said in a quiet yet still pretty playful tone, smiling at you for a moment before freezing and turning away, his face getting pretty red and rosy
