obviously these are all just my headcanons (or what I could infer from canon) and for fun. I had fun making these :)

He literally looks like an awkward ass nerd holding his books being shoved by a bully
When they met at Akane Resort
and didn’t mind the idea of her joining
When she joined the guild….
and he had the biggest smile on his face.
When Ultear intended to kill Juvia…
but he saved her….
When Erza told him to “make things clear”….
but he didn’t respond….
When he DID reject Juvia during the GMG Banquet…
and rejected her scarf…
it contradicted what happened four chapters before, where he had something important to tell her…
and died for her.
In 413 Days, he ran back to find her scarf and wore it….
and apologised to her about it later. (Juvia too.)
He could have refused her Gruvi-bread….
but he didn’t…
Gray could have really walked away when JUVIA suggested it herself….
but he didn’t…
He’s had many opportunities to say no to the things he doesn’t like…..
Many…
many….
times.
So why….
hasn’t he…
said no?
Because just like he stopped the rain for her….
She healed him from the ghosts of his past.
His light…
in his life where he only knew of loss and pain.
Because she reminds him….
to see the good…
Proves to him that she won’t be like the others…
by coming back.
And because, throughout all of this…..
He is grateful that she is always there.

Like most students Deuce makes a lot of assumptions about Epel based on his physical appearance, incorrectly presuming that Epel comes from a rich family and that he enjoys being described as cute.
Deuce invites Epel out to a beach for a cathartic scream in Book 5, saying, “It comes off to me like you want to change, but you can’t, so you’re floundering.”
Epel responds with “maybe you’re right,” but it is soon revealed that their stations are mirrored: While Deuce wants to change himself Epel is being forced to against his will, and doesn’t think he should have to adapt to society as Deuce is striving to do.
Deuce reacts with “I always had you pegged as a quiet, timid guy since the day we met…but boy, was I ever wrong.”
Even after Epel confides in Deuce about his situation, however, Deuce says, “I bet nobody in this school has you beat in the cuteness department,” revealing that he probably still doesn’t really understand Epel.
In a vignette where Epel says that he likes their gym outfit Deuce responds, “I would’ve thought you’d prefer that flowy dorm uniform of yours.” Deuce says that they’re “two of a kind,” as he likes the gym uniform as well.
When Epel mentions adding touches like embroidery Deuce is surprised, following with, “I could totally see you rocking some roses,” but Epel is displeased, saying, “I actually don’t like floral patterns…I think roses are far more suited to Heartslabyul than anything.”
Deuce talks about how he would like to customize their uniform with something like a tiger or a dragon, and Epel agrees. Epel mentions tiger and dragon motifs again during White Rabbit Fes, saying that he would like "a dragon- or tiger-themed paintjob" for a blastcycle, "Just to make it really stand out!"
