I think Ethan loves to toe the line with public actions. He let's touches linger too long, pats Hannah's during arcade games, pulls her into his lap during movies.
He's also definitely teased her by threatening to take her in various play places. The mall is almost closed and they're in the tunnels, just crawling. He pushes her down by one of the windows. He tells her they could go now, show everyone how much he really loves her.
Then they'll do it in the back of his car, waiting for Lex to get off work.
anon you are so very smart for this. welcome to the club😎😎😎
this works especially well if you support my headcanon that ethan is well known by local law enforcement for preying on preteens but somehow always getting away with it, appealing to rebelling kids because he’s babyfaced and charming and edgy looking, but not intimidating.
I imagine that after getting away with being a sick pedo for so long, he’d get cocky.
I can’t imagine Hannah would be okay with it. She’s shy enough as is, nevermind when her ‘boyfriend’ is smacking her ass and pulling her on his lap in public. He doesn’t care what she’s comfortable with, though. Because the more he breaks down her boundries, the more he’ll wear her down and make her more subservient.
As for their incident in the playplace…
She’s looking out the window at the mall below her, Ethan pinning her down as she lays on her stomach. His breath is hot in her ear, and his threat makes her blood run cold. SURELY he wouldn’t fuck her here? In public, where everyone could see, in a physical reminder of her youth?
She hated that she wasn’t 100% sure.
Hannah’s a far less horny person than Ethan, but the incident still gets her worked up and desperate enough to be willing to fuck him in the Toy Zone parking lot. He’s far less gentle than he was when he first started touching her (and far less safe too, for that matter) and her body is still definitely too small for him.
It’s only a matter of time until someone catches them.
