As someone who had a kid confess to them over and over and over again. It’s sweet only the first time and then it becomes something creepy and scary. I’m more concerned about their welfare because why do they think I’m a viable option and not their own peers? Honestly, I think he was having so much issues with his mother at home that when I gave him the slightest bit of motherly affection, he latched on and confused it with romantic love. I think the same thing happened between taiga and kiri-sensei. His dad was never around so he latched onto the first male figure who gave him attention and he knows being in a loving relationship means they won’t leave you. I feel bad for taiga.

Taiga is cute and all, but if there's a kid like him in real life say that they like me, I would be annoyed ( ̄∇ ̄")
