I'm really starting to ship PerfectSpace/StarStudent/SpaceHeroes.
Is it the most toxic ship? Yeah, probably.
But I am such a sucker for Ocean going through character development. And I always imagine them falling for one another as she improves as a person. Like she first starts treating him with decency, seeing him for who he is, thinking of him in a new light. He flirts with her initially to annoy her, then because he likes seeing her get flustered. He is willing to forgive, not forget, as long as she is trying to be better. He helps her relax. She learns respectful ways to support and help him. He facilitates her growth and inspires her to be better. She bolsters his faith in humanity as she becomes better.
And they are both totally freaked out and confused to realize they have feelings for one another. So when they do become a thing or whatever, they have a relationship of mutual respect and a healthy give/recieve situation.
