matt genuinely finds him so cute and endearing 😖😖😖 and he’s so committed to complimenting him and hyping him up. idk but it seriously kills me a little… and he’s soooo sincere about it, i also feel like it goes way beyond the shippy stuff. i think matthew says very sincere and emotional stuff so easily and without overthinking it too much (this is why the whole group is in love with him lol) — thinking about the “thank you for becoming zb1” breakfast convo for one, but also the LA live where taerae is kinda complaining about his body and matthew half-flirty but fully sincerely compliments and reassures him. or when he talks about how taerae looks cool or cute or sings well. i just love it sooo much ☹️☹️☹️ they’re so precious 😖💘💘💘
