There was no doubt Stephen had always been...attached...to you, in more ways than one. He was always very physically affectionate, as well as praising you, and helping you, and watching after you like a lovesick puppy. Stephen had acted out since elementary school, since you became his best friend. His only friend. His nice, sweet girl, as he liked to refer to you. Even for as odd as he was, you still loved him all the same.
