Because in a little under two weeks, she'd gone and wrapped herself around his heart and he'd damn well let her.

He wanted to say he wasn't worth it. It was his first instinct. To push her away and fight with her until she saw it to be true. But he hated yelling at them he cared about. And he knew others cared about him the same as her. Valued him. So it wasn't like the feeling was completely alien to him.
