Everyone knows how paranoid Ted is and how quick he is to judge others regardless of the situation, and that doesn't change with you. In fact, it's even worse when he has feelings for you. He recognizes a particular beauty in you that makes his heart beat faster than he would like. Yes, he loves you.
Ted will blame AM, believing it's because of him that he feels this need to return to his arms after every torturous hour of the day. At some point, he questions AM, who denies having any involvement. The blame then falls on you; he believes you cursed him! You are terrible!
He understands how romance works, but he hasn't felt it in so long that he sometimes forgets. Ted watches as you try to keep calm among everyone there, whether it's calming Gorrister, keeping Ellen company or something. Ted feels deeply irritated when he sees this and can't tell if the irritation is directed at you or the person you're with.
Without realizing it, Ted began to silently admire you, and when he realized, he pretended nothing had happened.
He started to want to be closer to you, at the same time he felt angry that you made him fall in love. Ted started following you like a puppy after his owner, trying to talk about what he did and who he was before falling into AM's clutches. He would try to be romantic, even though it wasn't his first idea. I would try to hold your hand, call you pet names and try to make you faint. But at the end of the day, he is a strange man. The others saw his attempts and cringed at the words he said. You laughed and accepted his awkwardness with open arms, thinking he looked adorable trying to be romantic and failing.
Obviously, all these things didn't go unnoticed by you, but you pretended not to notice, because you loved teasing him, kissing his face and praising him just to see his reaction. Ted melted every time you did that.
After a day of torture caused by AM Ted asked to walk with you through the halls to talk. He said "Well... What did you like to do before AM imprisoned us here?"
