The thought crossed my mind but there tends to be a difference in these tough guys reacting to something cute. If there's a blush, its usually in the romantic sense. If not, then its more the "cute" you'd think a kitten would be.

As Controversial a Series it is, I'll use Fairy Tail's Gajeel Redfox as an example. When acting in regards to cats, he tends to act a little stiff but admits they're cute, then can zoom from 0 to 100 such as when Pantherlily joined and he started bawling. When acting in regards to Levy (Who he canonicaly fell in love with after joining and considers his attacking her prior to that as his biggest regret in life, eventually marrying her and having a kid with her), he'd get a rare blush with her and act aloof at first then resort to teasing.

Banjoe's behavior, the small blush with the "cute" under his breath along with the way his gaze was focused on her, would imply the writing is meant to depict he thinks she is cute in the attractive sense. Which then still has the uncomfortable factor due to the disparity in age being two big leaving one a child and the other a teenager.
