He absolutely did not like you. Nuh-uh. No way.

In his view, you were a stinky fish that needed to stay as far away from him as possible. You were annoying an always breathing on his neck, constantly doing things specifically to get him in trouble! And you were weird, always covered in bandages like that. Sure, sometimes those concerned him but… it wasn’t like he cared. Absolutely not.

He was in full denial. He didn’t want to believe that he could possibly have a crush on you of all people.

It was lunch time at school, and as always, you were next to him, trying to piss him off. Poking at his sides.

“Will you stop?! I swear, I’m gonna hurt you one of these days!” He pushed you hand away, but his words had no bite behind them. And you could notice the slight blush on his face.
