LOVEBUG CORRUPTION WITH SHANE!
heโs so sick and twisted and sheโs so docile and delicate, he needs to corrupt her. he teaches herโฆโฆ. stuff. makes her promise to keep it a secret. tells her itโs bc of their connection and he doesnโt want anybody to ruin it (half true) but itโs really because if anyone found out the lengths heโd go to corrupt her, theyโd probably have a serious talk with him. sheโs a consenting adult, whatโs the big deal?
he makes her do things in the name of being helpful, but she doesnโt realize the ulterior motives he has. for example, he once asked her to steal daleโs gun so he could โclean itโ for him as a little surprise. spoiler alert: he just didnโt want anyone else having a hint of power against him. but heโd be so sweet and soft with her! sheโs always looking for his approval, immediately looking at him with those expectant eyes of hers from across the room when she does something she hopes would impress him. like thatโs dada. ohhhhh he needs to chill.
even after fully understanding shaneโs motives, lovebug would still be trying to see the best in him. he kisses her so gently and takes such good care of her. everyone has a bad side! even her!
i feel like bug has a touch of separation anxiety. she just seems like an anxious person to me, so once she gets comfortable with someone, itโs hard to adapt. sheโs always holding shaneโs hand and people donโt even think anything of it because sheโs so timid and shane makes her feel protected. honestly, some people might look past the corruption because they know shane is serious about keeping bug safe
