No. He's cool. He will never embrace the dorkiness because he can't embrace what isn't there. Or at least, if he tries really hard to pretend he isn't a nerd chances are one day he'll wake up and just stop being one. It works in the movies and he's sure it'll work for him.

But hey- he's gotta be pretty cool if Feferi digs him, right? It's not like she'd be attracted to him because he's a huge dork. No way.

There's no way he's not turning red once she's pulling at his pants. He's just praying he doesn't pop a preemptive boner because that is guaranteed to freak her the fuck out.

"For a chick who wears skirts all the time you're pretty damn good at this." He only pays the highest compliments after all. He's going to start wiggling his legs up and down idly while watching her. "Whatcha doin' there, princess?"
