Given that when he tried to hug Hinagiku (in her Silver Red costume, so he doesn't know it's her), she responds by punching him away, one would think of asking if the hug was alright with them to be sure he wasn't going to be punished for it.

He didn't try to run away (but misunderstood what Athena wanted), which was proven when he had no problem hugging her after he realized what she hinted him on what to do...
He asked her whether she minds by his embrace since he was the one trying to do it. He didn't care about being punished because he was attempting to hug her. He won't embrace her if he was a afraid of being punished.

He also punctuates the fact that he's constantly thinking of Athena that night because he's trying to figure things out, including why he's feeling the way he is after seeing her for the first time in ten years. Until Hinagiku asks him how he feels about her, there's no hint of love in his thoughts.
And the looks, all of the girls who he's, both by words and actions, found attractive he wants to look at, including Maria, Izumi, Ayumu and Hinagiku, to not want to look at the one who he says he loves says a lot.

1st Paragraph: Don't know what you wanted to say.
2nd: The hint was his depression mood of thinking that Athena hates him. Yes, he didn't know what Athena was to him, and he just got emo from the thoughts of being on a bad term with Athena. Some feelings he had/has for her (unconsciously). Because of the thoughts about Athena, he couldn't enjoy his time with Hina, yes...
3rd: Ughh.....What? Dude, he just answered Hina's question...
Whether Athena is presence or not when he confessed his feelings for her is not important in dictating his feelings.
