He’s known you ever since the two of you were children so it was only natural that at some point he’d realize that he likes you.

You were so nice and considerate to him. In his eyes you’re the prettiest person he’s seen. Your smile is so cute and you’re so funny and the way that you always worry over him and you smell nice too—

He really likes you. He likes you more than he wants to admit. He can’t really wrap his head around the feeling, but he’s confident that he wants to talk with you more.
