He was a fool. Moka had no doubt about that. He was a weak human who had chosen to stay at a school full of monsters; he had to be a fool. He had to depend on awakening her so he wouldn't get killed. He couldn't simply tell the other girls he was interested in her other self.
He was also so naïve. He protected that succubus girl because she didn't seem 'like a bad person', but hadn't she manipulated him, controlled him, and almost killed him? He tried to talk to the snow maiden and was almost frozen solid because of her feelings for him. He saw her, Moka Akashiya, as a friend. A dangerous, S-class, blood sucking monster was his best friend.
He tried to be a human shield. He knew he was too weak to fight, so he would use his body as a shield to protect others. He could know them for no more than a day and he would already protect them without hesitation. He always did absurd for his companions. He made it seem like his life was meaningless compared to others.
He was far too caring and trusting. He saw the world in a way that only optimistic people could ever see it. Whenever someone completely dark in soul came he could find their brightest color and help make it shine. His smile and courage were as contagious as the flu in a small room. He was far too timid with those around him and he couldn't always express his feelings.
All these things Moka hated yet they were the same traits that made her fall in love with him. She always expected him to turn in a certain direction but he'd always flip it on her. She loved him, but she could never let those feelings shine. She used her pride as an excuse, but it wasn't the true reason. It was obvious he loved the other Moka, her world was too dark and dangerous for him to live in, and he still seemed to fear her every now and then.
She knew what the feeling was when she was near him, but the odds were simply not in her favor at the time. What a cruel reality: losing the person you love to an illusion of yourself.
