Now that we have seen Love's serious side there's something I'm really curious about... Do...

That's what I was asking myself!

I think he actually likes it lol.
I think his silly/softer side is supported by how even in the past he liked to play games(like where the characters get married) or had some shy moments.
So he’s still a softy on the inside? He’s just gotten like this because of what he’s gone through

I actually reread the previous chapters and I think you are right!!
He put so much effort in that alpaca doll for peach's birthday!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
