Well, I guess it's nearly impossible to convince you that I'm Shawn Mendes. Will you keep writing to me either way? I really like your songwriting, that's the truth.

📨
I don't know.
Maybe you should answer some questions about yourself first. Just so I can trust you.

Oh. Okay.

What?

Nothing. ... It's just a bit funny, 'cause normally, I would be the person who asks for this. But yeah, go ahead.

I shake my head. He really is trying his best to convince me that he is Shawn Mendes.

But okay. For all I care.

📨
Who are you?

📩
What? Are you serious?

Just answer the question. Who are you?

I don't care about your name, your wealth, or anything like that. I just want to know: Who is the boy I'm writing to?

What does he like, what doesn't he like, what are his hobbies, what's his favourite TV show, I don't know. Just things like that.

[A few thoughtful seconds pass, then his answers come in quickly.]

📩
I like muffins and honest people.
I don't like tomatoes and people who only care about your status. I don't like being judged by a social media presence.
My hobbies are writing songs and singing them, and spending time with my family and friends. I also used to travel a lot.
Favourite TV show? Yeah, I don't know about that. What's yours?

📨
Muffins? Really? And tomatoes? Are you serious? What about pizza?!

What's with that?!

Don't you like pizza?! Everybody likes pizza!

I do like pizza. It's just that I don't like tomatoes.

Pizza sauce is tomato sauce!

That's sieved tomatoes. That doesn't count.

Well, okay. I have to admit I was shocked for a moment 'cause I love pizza.

I know a very good pizza restaurant where they sell pizza with onions and...

Do they have chocolate pizza?

I'm sorry—did you just say chocolate pizza?

?

Uhm, no, I guess they don't, but they once sold a boy a pizza with double cheese and strawberries when he kindly asked because of a bet.

Oh, I bet you didn't like it.

Who said something about me?!
... but yeah, you're right.

My best friend said I should stop writing to you.

Did she?

Yeah, but I think it's quite entertaining to receive messages about strawberry pizza.

It's her account, by the way.

Or it was, because now we share it.

She's the one who writes the fanfiction stuff.

I know. I looked through your account.
It's kinda crazy that she has over two million reads, isn't it?

Yeah, it is. But that's also the reason why a few people are reading my songbook.
Otherwise, probably no one would read it.

I don't think that's true.
I read it and I loved it.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, of course. Go ahead. :)

Which song by Shawn Mendes do you like the most? I mean, is there one song that has touched your soul the most?

Oh my gosh, couldn't you ask something less difficult?!

They're all on another level. But I really liked "It'll Be Okay". It's just... the simplicity of the melody, the voice and the breaking heart.

I could really feel it.

A long pause, then his answer arrives.

📩
I felt it, too.
