Well, it's all about the readers perception. I did notate his thoughts of the learned sir during the encounter but i also noticed that he related the sensation of warmth between the two as well. At this point I think he's still trying to figure out what he feels. Its evolving and he is confused but not completely given up. The act of "Confessing" is stereotyped with the stamp of liking or loving someone, it can apply to anything. I truly thought he was just HOT AS FUCK, while he was doing it.

I like how you say "what he's feeling". I personally don't like to push my views onto others especially if a story hasn't even ended yet. Being emotionally invested in any story to where you start to point your finger because someone has a different outlook then yourself, is not heathly. Take a step back and good luck.

LOL WoW you are really upset. Sorry if my interpretation of this story doesn't correlate with yours but you are overly confident on your findings with a story that's not even complete yet. Are you the Mangaka whom wrote the story? That would be awesome, except your user name throws me off... please let throw ideas around not affirmations.
The whole chapter, barely surviving the last panels when our lil cutie took the lead and confessed! That was EPIC.
