What is the point of slowing down the progress of this side² couple? I can understand main couple being slow but at least we got main-side couple to get up to speed quite fast.
@Ore His backstory is that he's dumped a lot because he often one-sidedly gives his partner a lot of affection in some type of way. It makes sense for him to be holding back and taking his time now. He realized why his previous relationships didn't work out so now he's trying to change. Giving her snacks is a casual way he can continue to show he cares for her without being "too" much about it.
It makes canonical sense that he wouldn't want to rush telling her he likes her so I don't mind the slow pace but I can see how it would be frustrating that he doesn't take this perfect opportunity to just tell her.
@avnirex@lalelu He can take as much as he wants but the author is the one who should make things happen faster. This side² couple is a filler with a filler for the main couple and the side couple.
