Okay, there’s quite a few posts about Shawn’s super obvious crush on Pierre Despereaux.
Which is awesome. But how come I never see posts about how much Pierre clearly loves the way Shawn feels about him?
He may not say anything, but his expression says it all. His self satisfied smirk whenever Shawn compliments him, calls him the coolest man alive or whatever other things his infatuated mind can come up with. The way he melts at the way Shawn looks at him, amused and flattered and so so appreciative.
And it’s clearly important to him too, not just a nice bonus. He wants, needs Shawn to adore him, to a point where he risks a lot to escape from prison for one more job. He doesn’t need the money, he’s filthy rich. It really is just to impress Shawn, to prove he really is all Shawn thought him to be. A goal he openly admits to Shawn, to his face. After having spent a lot of. money to have him come to visit him.
Now, yeah, he uses Shawn to escape from prison - but impressing Shawn is also the only reason he does that in the first place.
So - he might like to act detached, but Pierre is absolutely not normal about Shawn either. He is allowing and enabling Shawn’s teenage girl crush completely.
