damien's "i guess i've been working out'' comment towards angela?? idk if he realizes or not but he's peacocking big time loll and caling angela's character his fave etc.. he wants to impress/noticed by her so much (to me i think this is more of admiring/friendly crush but i do smell something.. :) idk enough about angela to read whats her deal is, she is more subtle to me)
I raised my eyebrow when he made that comment too lmao
It's usually something you'd say if you were flirting with someone lol, it's really funny to me how often they both accidentally walk into 'flirty scenarios/sayings'.
(I can literally think of a LARGE handful of times they've said/done flirty shit to each other not thinking too much of it) (i.e.. the "I know Damien's!" misunderstanding, to the most recent big one- the Christmas Event™ among others)

I love the term peacocking, it's such a funny way of saying someone's trying to impress you lol.
He's almost constantly calling Angela's character's his favorite (and sometimes calling Angela herself 'his' favorite)(see- Mr. Grub on numerous occasions) and is always saying some flirty shit to her in TNTLs (his 'Sarah Christ'- "My place or yours?")
I find it interesting that you said Angela is more subtle! I can read her SUPER easily (by virtue of being damn near the exact same person as her). Damien's the one I struggle with reading.
I think I've talked about it before but, Angela's biggest tell to me with Damien is how much she makes fun of him. Like whenever he makes faces she stares. Like fully stares straight at him and smiles/laughs while pointing at him. (lol) And repeating his sayings "Heart of the cards" is another big way that she, not so much trying to impress, but shows him that she thinks he's cool?
AND HOW COULD WE OVERLOOK HER DRESSING UP AS HIM MULTIPLE TIMES! as someone that is incredibly similar to her, I would only dress up as somebody that much if I'm OBSESSED with them in a friendly way (think weebs and cosplaying, they have a favorite character, they cosplay them)(Damien is Angela's favorite character).
I do fully believe they both are trying to impress each other, but they're both like? super nerds? so them 'impressing' each other is usually dulled down and twisted into them making fun of one another (which I think is hilarious) because they don't know what they could even impress each other with.
They both really like each other (friendly way) and seem to have just fallen into rhythm with one another. (they've always had good energy around each other, but it was like they were nervous/unsure if they were saying the right things)(whereas now it feels like it's getting closer to them being 'lock-step' with each other)
I don't think 'crush' is the best way to describe them though? (I understood what you meant by it being a 'admiration crush' though! (this shit is so hard to explain, just know I know what you meant lol) Weirdly, chummy is coming to mind? they're very good chums <3 also pals, they make good pals
