Well pedophilia is a bit much considering he knows she's not a child and isn't acting sexual towards her in that sense. He likes her personality, not her looks. Also yes, threats can be chemistry. Its like tension that is both sexual and well threatening. He clearly doesn't actually want to hurt her so he's more flirting than anything

Chile this is fiction and in fiction healthy relationships that you would want to see in real life aren't always depicted. Its fun to view these kind of relationships even if they aren't healthy since they are interesting to see. It doesn't mean I want this shit in real life, but in fiction, it can be fun and many authors would consider their relationship to have chemistry
Baby, if you're comfortable then you can come out of the closet!!! This is a safe place for you!!!
Anyways, i don't know why but i'm not really feeling this ship. I'm trying so hard to like it but it's just meh :/ i'd rather the mc just go the independent lady route. Or maybe introduce another ml later on where there's actual chemistry between them.
