He likes being around her.
He especially likes taking any chance he can get to touch her.
He barely ever goes a day without making some type of physical contact with her; brushing his shoulder against hers, hugging her, laying his head atop of hers (but he avoids doing that at school now), and grabbing her hand.
He drops kisses on her head or on her forehead and loves standing closer to her than is strictly necessary.
It's his way of satisfying his growing need to be close to her and also a way of showing affection.
It's around this time that he starts to notice the thought that's been festering in his head for (what he's pretty sure has been) a while, but which he had ignored all of this time.
The thought of wanting her there with him forever.
It's a scary thought because he knows what it implies. And he knows that he's known for a long, long time already.
But he's still not ready to admit it yet. Not even to himself.
