^{Hannah walked with him, finding comfort in the weirdly warm atmosphere. Ignoring it, she looked around, taking a moment to figure out where they were. She had been pleasantly surprised at his little comment about the nickname. He hadn’t really said much about it yet so it was a first to hear him acknowledge it this way, but there was no way she could take him seriously when he sounded like a toddler how hadn’t been allowed to have a piece of candy. The sound of his voice alone made her burst into a small fit of laughter beside him.}

^{Pouting, she feigned pity, before rolling her eyes and chuckling. “Oh, shut up, it’s sticking until you give me reason to change it. Besides, you love me too much to be genuinely mad about it” Hannah told him, rolling her shoulder slightly. She didn’t really know where they were going, but it didn’t matter much. Hannah had begun to notice that she had a little bit of fun whenever she was with him, as awful as it had sounded when he first approached her, but it had a little bit of truth in it now. “Lead the way, lover boy”}

^{Hannah felt her smile drop at his words. Opening her mouth in shock under the fabric, she stuttered for a moment, unsure of what she was supposed to say to that. She couldn’t tell if she was amusing or pissed off, or both. Hannah looked up at him, trying to figure out his intentions with it, was he trying to piss her off or flirt? She couldn’t really tell anymore, it had escalated a little too quickly for her to figure it out first. Hannah felt her amusement rising, if he wanted a round two of that first night they’d met, he just had to ask, but this worked too.}

^{Hannah stepped to him, grabbing his hand when he poked her. Raising her eyebrow, she laughed softly, the small hints of annoyance coming through too strongly for her liking. She thought for a moment, debating whether or not she should just hit him, or let it play out, see where it goes. Hannah wasn’t afraid to straight up deck him right here, if that was what he wanted, but it wouldn’t be that good for his ego. Although, his whole fighting thing slightly worried her, there was no way she’d win. “Who said it was an act, lover boy?” she asked him, grabbing his shirt.}

_{Hannah didn’t know what to think of the situation, but she noticed how it was almost becoming a habit of theirs. Every time they did something together, somehow it always ended like this at one point or another. They didn’t really have the best track record at keeping things platonic between them. Although, that didn’t mean Hannah had any idea of what was going on, it was weird and intense, but there wasn’t really a label of sorts that fit their situation. She’d have to think about it later and figure it out before things changed between the two again.}

_{Hannah’s eyes flicked down to his hand on her, before glancing back up at him. She narrowed her eyes slightly, before tightening her grip on him. She didn’t know why she always made these sorts of situations worse, but it was becoming a habit of her own now. Hannah clearly had a tendency of takes things way too far with him, but it was always entertaining so it wasn’t a big deal anymore. Looking up at him, she chuckled under the fabric. “Oh, I know” she told him, pausing for a moment, she spoke again, her voice calm but unwavering. “Trust me, I’m the furthest thing from a kitten out there, lover boy”}

^{Hannah hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. She didn’t know if she really wanted to try him, there was no doubt in her mind that he’d easily beat her in a matter of moments. But then again, was he really going to? She knew he wouldn’t hurt her, or she hoped, at least, but that didn’t mean that he was about to go easy on her. Hannah knew that wasn’t going to happen, but was it really worth it? It’d just prove him right about his stupid little nickname for her, plus, it’d just boost his ego.}

^{Hannah sighed inaudibly, deciding on her next move. She’d talked her game up until now, she wasn’t about to now go through with it. She wasn’t like that and she was about to start now, especially around Sergio. Hannah smiled sweetly, shaking her a head a little, trying to best to feign confidence. Moving her hand from his shirt, she slid it over his shoulder, bringing her other hand up to his chest, Hannah brought her knee up to his abdomen, before pushing him back against the door frame.}

^{Hannah smirked to herself slightly, anybody else likely would have been offended by him, but weirdly enough, she’d begun to grow used to his taunts. For better or worse, he tended to bring out the best, or worst, of her. It sometimes didn’t end well if that had been anyone else, but she was lucky he was able to keep up with her and her antics. The pair of them both together was probably not the best thing, from the laws’ perspective, especially with their little competition and their equally ever-rising egos. But it was too late to change now.}

^{“oh, lover boy, under-estimating me, as usual. I had been beginning to think you’d learnt better than that by now, but I guess not” Hannah teased, stepping away from him. Scoffing, she looked up at him, reading his features. “Really now? That would imply what, that I’m into you? Please” Laughing softly, she flicked the flashlight off her phone. Walking back into the darker parts of the corridor, Hannah let the darkness envelop her. Jogging into the main area of the mall, she smiled to herself. Staying in the darkness, she called out to him. “Come find me, lover boy”}
