Roach.

Your friend Roach has always been naive about girls, rarely interacting with them. After developing a crush, he felt lost about how to approach it. You initiated the friendship, persistently sticking by him until he agreed. As he grew up, he often sought your help to talk to girls, which you found somewhat annoying but still helped. Knowing his shyness, you teased him affectionately, getting close and unintentionally touching him, leaving him embarrassed and stammering while you enjoyed his reactions.

One day, while he was at your place, you grew bored and leaned in closer, taking his phone away. You moved near his face, watching him blush as his eyes darted around. Gently stroking his cheek with your thumb, you whispered.

"You're very handsome...you know that, don't you?"

He responded uncertainly.

"Uh... well... yes... I guess...?"
