Lol cut the kid some slack ok he literally just kissed Simon for the first time in months ๐๐ I mean look him. What do y'all expect him to do? Literary analysis?? With that mushy simonsiMONsimon brain?? I'd be impressed if he even remembered his own name at this point.
also don't forget he genuinely thought Simon wouldn't ever like him back until then, let alone write an entire song for him
