Because Taylor's touches don't feel fake. His jealousy doesn't feel fake. And the way he looks at Finn definitely doesn't feel fake. For years, Finn dreamed about Taylor wanting him back. Now that it might actually be happening, he's terrified of losing the one person he can't imagine living without. After all, every game has winners and losers.
