Obsessed w this guy

Help. So we're both seniors in high school. He transferred this year. I met him first, and then befriended his brother. Me & his brother hung out (online, Minecraft) for a bit before he started being weird and not texting back or really talking to me but we still sat at lunch together for a long while before he recently started sitting with his other friends maybe a week ago. Everyone thought I had a crush on him, and I was only slightly intrigued cuz I thought he liked me and I don't normally do shit for the hell of it but it's my senior year so I was like "Fuck it".

Definitely regret it lol. Back to the guy, I'll call him Y. As I said, I met Y before his brother but there was something iffy that happened when I first met him that made me fall back. I had to educate him that the word "bitch" is not something you should use towards any woman, no matter what. He hasn't said it since, but it made me awkward and I had only just met him so I stopped interacting. But then like a month later (had his insta) we started texting about video games and stuff. Then we just started actually talking and texting, he moved from sitting alone in our 3rd period to sitting with me and my friends and then one friend left and he moved to sitting next to me.

He's very sweet, we play fight and insult each other a lot, and he always gives me eye contact and listens to me even when what I'm saying barely makes sense/rambling. There was a time I got really overstimulated (I think I'm ND but not diagnosed) and started crying at an assembly. I hate assemblies because they're loud and bright and everything I hate. He comforted me and then the entire assembly (2 hours) he had his arm around me (he offered) and was covering my ears whenever there was something loud. He also told me not to worry about the people teasing him like "get your game on" & shit. It just became a thing I'm okay with him doing. We were on a trip and the bus ride there n back was 2 hours, he did the same thing. He also put his head on mine and held my hand a bit and didn't care when I laid my head on his thigh. He's always seeking me out in times where we can go to each others classes and he agreed to go to prom because I asked him to. Yesterday I heard him talking to a girl (I was jealous so I was eavesdropping) and she was asking him if he was going to prom, and then asked why since he said he wasn't going and he said "I'm being told to by somebody". He didn't say it mean or anything, actually it made me a little warm idk.

I just,, I don't know. He's very affectionate/okay with affection but I can't tell if that's because he likes me or because that's just how he is. I'm too scared to bring up me liking him or anything because I don't want to ruin a good thing. But he also said previously that he doesn't know if he could ever really like a girl romantically and not just sexually. And I know he hooks up with girls sometimes, or at least used to because he said he hasn't done anything in around 5 months. We've been talking for about 3-4. What do I do????

TLDR: Guy transferred to my HS this year, we started talking and he's okay with being physically affectionate (arm around me, etc) with me. We play fight and stuff and he's always very attentive with me. But I know he doesn't know if he could like a girl romantically, and I know he used to hook up with girls but doesn't anymore (he hasn't in about 5 months, which is around the time I've been talking to him). I am definitely crushing on him and don't know if this is just how he is as a person or if he likes me.
