Yeah, it's kinda comedic but he's obviously manipulative and dangerous. I mean she OBVIOUSLY said no yet using his opportunist tactics. That's crazy. Oh well.
First, he isn't a little boy anymore. They are adults that should have rational thinking at this point. Second, FL harshly refused sexual engagement. I wouldn't be surprised if he just did it without consent or basically, rape.
Ig romanticizing stuff like this appeals to female readers just because the dude is CUTE/HANDSOME/HAS A PITIFUL BACKSTORY etc. Just because he's a virgin/ haven't fallen in love before doesn't mean it's a pass for sexual harrassment. Just sayin
Hey this made me happier. I can finally die with Matthew's aroused look in my final memories
