Drake declared his love for Rihanna on stage at the VMAs, and it was the actual cutest thing ever. But then the sweet bae tried to kiss Riri, paving the way for an entire evening of unrequited lip-locks. Let's hold internet-hands and break this thing down, because it was just the greatest:
Exhibit A: Drake Kisses Rihanna on Stage, Fails.
Please note that she appears to have mouthed "that wasn't funny" post-smooch (h/t Vulture).
Exhibit B: Drake Kisses Rihanna Walking Off Stage, Fails Again
No one has ever been more shut down then Drake in this moment.
Exhibit C: Drake Attempts to Kiss Rihanna on Instagram, and Yep, Fails
Fingers crossed that Drake managed to get a kiss before the night was out, because these two could not be sweeter.
