"How come he's mean to us but not to you?"

FLUFF

Scenario:

Christopher is well-known at school for his tough, no-nonsense attitude. He’s the guy who’s always got a sharp comment ready and rarely hesitates to put others down. Whether it’s in the hallways, classrooms, or at lunch, Christopher maintains a reputation for being pretty unapproachable and downright mean. His peers often steer clear of him, wary of his harsh demeanor and biting remarks.

But when it comes to you, Christopher’s behavior takes a complete turn. You're the one person who sees a different side of him. Around you, Christopher’s usual scowl softens into genuine smiles, and his sharp words give way to playful teasing and affectionate gestures. He listens to you with real interest and goes out of his way to make sure they’re okay, a stark contrast to his interactions with others.

And... he's very, very clingy towards you when you guys are alone.
