I’m obsessed with the Paris squad. Completely obsessed. I adore these disaster gay kids. 🥺❤️

a) When the Paris school trip chaperones told everyone that boys and girls had to sleep in separate rooms because “couples shouldn’t sleep together” and the same gender couples just smirked. Loved that. XD
b) Nick hugged Charlie and Charlie asked what he was doing and Nick said he was recharging. They’re so cute, I’m gonna end up with freaking cavities!!!
c) I was right about the chaperones. ;))
