Chapter Text
I feel like when Connor cuts himself, the cuts go on his sign handle... So, he tries to hide it by going into the sign form and Riley sees them anyway and kisses the handle, which I feel like also overstimulates Connor in a way. His handle is likely his body's torso, so if she moves downwards it just likely gets him all aroused and embarrassed. I also have a feeling when that happens, though in his sign form he is way too embarrassed to admit it and even go into his human form because he will probably have a boner.
Along with this, this is during the deep stages of the grooming session, so it's likely that Riley is getting attached and obsessed with Connor because of the grooming, doing how she was with Oliver to him. I feel like, unlike Oliver though, he loves it and only encourages it by grooming her more and more. She's just a perfect victim when she's groomed and Connor takes advantage of that. She has his name carved into her chest overtime, he is such a sadist...
Riley is likely desensitized to self-harm too. She absolutely wanted him to keep cutting into her flesh more and more when she just got used to being groomed. I feel like nobody even does anything about their relationship because Connor doesn't have an actual age, despite obviously being much older than her. Their relationship is constantly justified by people around them who encourage it.
That's all I have for now... I will do more tomorrow, maybe a mini-fic instead even! You will have to see tomorrow. I hope this holds you guys off though, and if you guys think I should continue this! I feel like it would be fun and you guys will be able to see me talk about this ship more and understand why I love it so much. It holds such a special place in my heart... I love them and need them to get married. (Yes, Riley will not be able to escape. She will die trying, and I want that!!!)
