Tristan was honestly trying to avoid you as much as possible, so that the feelings he held for you wouldn’t blossom into something hopeless, like he knew it would.

Which is why, not wanting to make himself too obvious in his aloofness, he agreed for a study “date” with you. Normally, he’d be ecstatic at the prospect of having you alone in any way, but now he just felt dread. Dreaded that his approaches might be too obvious.

He doesn’t talk for the longest, until finally conjuring up some classic Dugray sass and asking, “Sure you’re not bored yet?”
