How Simon and Bobby act when they realize they are in love with someone!
(As a bit of a warm-up, here are some nice headcanons! Apologies in advance, but I don't really know how to write them yet, so I'm sorry if they seem OOC,,,,)
He probably doesn't even consider having feelings for you, at first
But when he sees that Taka has taken a considerable liking to you, he begins to acknowledge how he feels and if he feels anything for you (and of course, he does)
He shows his interest in a very... different way.
He might pick on you a lot- more than others- but he means well!
He introduces you to his favorite soba restaurant and asks you to join him quite often. There's also a lot of other places that he likes that he would want to share with you.
At first, plays it off like "I just thought you might like this place" and "Is it a crime to enjoy someone's company? Then maybe I should be thrown back into the slammer"
He might drop hints at how he truly feels, but he's careful not to let anything slip
If you don't catch on, expect him to give bigger hints every now and again.
Eventually, he does ask you out- after practicing lines with Taka, of course. (But he'll take that to his grave)
He'll ask you out in a setting where you two are the only ones around; he wants no prying ears listening in. This matter is between you and him, and at that moment, no one else is relevant.
When you accept, he finally lets his true feelings show. He gets protective real quick because he refuses to let anyone hurt you!
At first, he doesn't realize what he's feeling is attraction/infatuation
He simply sees it as he greatly enjoys your company as a good friend
He realizes he might have a thing for you when he sees you smile at him; his heart skips a beat, and he finds himself getting a bit flustered
Once he's alone, he thinks it over for awhile
"What do I feel for them? What should I feel for them? Are my feelings just...? Or are they just selfish...?"
After spending more time with you, his feelings do nothing but grow
It gets to the point where, in a way, he wants to spend every waking moment with you, no matter what! He will not allow his need for justice to get in the way- then again... perhaps, if he were to successfully get with you, that in of itself would be its own form of justice.
When he asks you, it comes across as a begging puppy. However, he quickly composes himself and properly asks you if you would like to get together with him.
When you accept, he is beyond emotional, so expect happiness and tears!

Phantom (while pretending to be Bobby):
First of all - he is very confused.
When he starts to notice that he enjoys your company a little too much, he starts to wonder: why would he care so much about you? Has his act has gone too far and the line between his thoughts and Bobby had been blurred?
Or maybe It’s not that he likes you, but wants to become you?
He will start to stalk you a lot, to learn as much as he can, before he will try and become you.
But quickly he will realize that’s not it. He doesn’t want to be you. He wants to be with you.
He knows that telling you about him being a Phantom would not only be dangerous, but might also make you start to hate him. So, he would proceed to win your heart while still pretending to be Bobby.
He would flirt with you, and ask you out the same way that Bobby would do. The only difference, however would be that rarely, you could catch him looking at you in a very serious and lustful way... Like a wolf eyeing his prey.
