You were definitely turning into the Dad of the group in a way.

Eddie - Now publicly he would answer that his favourite thing about you is your ass or something totally inappropriate. However, secretly he loved how excepting you were of his odd ways. He loved how you didn't judge or question him over his obsession with D&D or the antics the Hellfire Club got up to. He loved how excepting you are for his love for his guitar and he especially loved the little smile that would appear on your face whenever he played a new song for you.

Max - She loved how competitive you were at pretty much everything. The two of you would end up making everything into some sort of race. Who scored the highest in a test? Max. Who has the highest score on Donkey Kong? You. Who lasted the longest without kissing the other? Neither, you both failed that one spectacularly. 

Peter - He loved your patience from him. He knew it must be hard dating a person you only can see briefly every once in a while, especially when their were so many people in the outside world you could be with instead. He also loved how patient you were with him in terms of intimacy. Peter was used to being so close to another person and found simple actions like hugging difficult, he loved how you didn't push him into anything and how you were always there to reassure him in some way.

Robin - She loved how you were always willing to stand up for yourself and what was right. While you were never the one to start a fight, you were also never the one to back down when challenged. You almost always one any sort of debate in school and she loved watching the passion in your face when you argued for something you cared about.

Dustin - He loved the little snort noise you made when you laughed. While you were embarrassed by it, he thought it was adorable and would go out of his way to find situations that would make you laugh just so he could hear it.

Will - He loved your confidence in your own abilities. Even though you were a shit artist, that never stopped you from drawing whatever you wanted. He loved that you would stand there proudly and say 'Look what I drew will' knowing full well that it was literal stickman. 

Mike - He loved your ability to forgive and forget the past. Even though Mike can sometimes do shitty things, you always find a way to forgive him for his mistakes and show him how he was wrong and how he can do better.

Nancy - She loved how you were always willing to help her and others. Whenever she had a big test coming up, you were always there first hand ready to help her study. You found ways to help keep her relaxed and somehow made her boring study routine more fun and interesting. She also loved the way you would kiss her whenever she got a question right.

Jonathan - He loved how humble you were. He'd been taking pictures of you for awhile know and yet you still get all flustered whenever you catch him pointing the camera in your direction. Though he does wish you'd learn to appreciate how good-looking you really are, he doesn't mind seeing you blush in the meantime.
