consider: hawks, aro-ace and completely oblivious when it comes to romance-coded gestures, accidentally fools all his friends into thinking he's into them.
he takes jeanist out on what jeanist Absolutely assumes to be a date. he's prepared to let him down easy (or, even funnier, reciprocate) but.. hawks does not make a single move. no flirting; no flirty eyes; no flirty movements. jeanist comes to the conclusion that hawks is Shy.
rumi just straight up tells him she's not into him one day. hawks, very confused, is like; haha, cool! me neither :D he is being completely genuine. rumi comes to the conclusion that he's embarrased.
he gets endeavor a boquet of roses once. endeavor stops functioning. hawks is so, so confused. (in fairness, they were yellow)
