he clearly got flustered and their still technically friends yk like don't be too harsh on him hes trying his best, hes just dumb and doesn't know how to act more direct or normal with her
dumbass is trying to play it cool he is failing miserably
he literally doesn’t know how to express his feelings properly bruh
call back to when he didnt know he could say sorry he's learning
ugh... telling her she looks "pretty much the same as always" after she's CLEARLY put much more effort into her appearance might as well be slapping her across the face. :(
