Toge records himself attacking his friends with one of those claw scalp massagers after seeing a viral video on social media. Panda and Yuuji take it humorously the first time, but Nobara chases after him with her hammer and Megumi just glares at him in silence. Maki, on the other hand, turns around just before receiving the attack, threatening Toge with death if he dares to come one step closer.
But Yuuta definitely has the most interesting reaction of them all. His shoulders rise and his head shakes, with a high-pitched squeal escaping from his throat when the massager's tips make contact with his scalp. So Toge does it again, and again, and again, getting the same reaction every time and laughing his ass off at Yuuta's whiney face.
The day Panda asks him why he's still pranking Yuuta even though he didn't do it to the others anymore, Toge just shrugs in response. He doesn't want to admit his lack of interest came from Panda and Yuuji moving on from the prank after the first time they fell, and the fact that Megumi was straight up annoyed the whole time. His life being in danger every time he tried the massager on Maki and Nobara isn't something particularly thrilling either. And Yuuta is fun to tease; Toge doesn't need another reason to act like this.
So he keeps going, and the attacks are so frequent that his phone has more videos of Yuuta squirming thanks to the massager than other stuff. On a night when he's feeling particularly bored, Toge even edits a video of all times he pranked Yuuta—he doesn't upload it anywhere, of course. He just thinks it's funny how the video ends up being a short compilation of Yuuta reacting exactly the same way a bunch of times, with his clothes, lighting, and setting being the only visible change between every clip.
If he smiles like an idiot while editing the video, or if he has to swallow the desire to hug him tightly when Yuuta sees the compilation and blushes violently, Toge doesn't say anything. He also doesn't show any expression of his heart growing fond of Yuuta laughing beside him—promising he's going to take revenge someday even though Toge always notices when he tries to act mischievous, thwarting his attempts before any prank is pulled.
Yuuta is just fun to tease. Toge doesn't need another reason to act like this.

He got embarrassed bc Sanji keeps annoying him with "not" knowing about that face ( which he does on purpose just to get that same reaction from the Marimo )
