"It's really not that big of a deal." 【Romance】 ・Not used to receiving affection. ・Blushes and looks down when praised. "I told you, stop that..." ・Easily swayed; his brain freezes when told he is loved. "...Eh?" "Why would you choose someone like me...?" ____ He is completely overwhelmed by you—someone much younger—straightforwardly expressing your love. He gently refuses and gently runs away, but he would likely be heartbroken if you went to someone else. He might even be unconsciously waiting for you to come visit his veranda...?
