"You want me to what?"
Vincent stared at Bo from behind his mask with his one eye. Bo crossed his arms over his chest,
"I want you and Lester to meet the Mer I've been seeing"
"You act like you're dating her!" Vincent said, voice muffled by the mask but still loud. Bo could feel heat slowly rising in his cheeks and he could tell Vincent was bitch facing at him.
"Tell me you didn't" Vincent said bluntly and Bo avoided eye contact with his twin.
"Bo, tell me you did not fall in love with a mermaid"
"...Vin-"
"Beauregard Sinclair" Vincent said firmly, "tell me you didn't fall in love with a goddamn mermaid"
"...Okay maybe a little"
Vincent stared at his twin. The other man closing his sketchbook and placing it neatly on his bed with his pencils in their case before he got up, strode over to Bo and before he could have said anything, Bo had a hand over his stinging cheek.
"Christ Vin! What the fu-"
"Are you asking to be killed?!" Vincent demanded and Bo rolled his eyes,
"It's not like I'll do anything about it! She probably don't like me like that!"
Vincent narrowed his eye at Bo who sighed, rubbing his cheek a bit before placing the hand on his brothers shoulder,
"I just want you and Lester to meet my friend, can you do that for me?"
Vincent kept glaring at Bo. The elder resisted the urge to roll his eyes and looked at Vincent square in his,
"Please? You and him are always talking about how I gotta actually make friends, aren't you?"
"...I suppose" Vincent grumbled and Bo nodded,
"I'm heading out tomorrow, that okay?"
Vincent nodded, sighing and just plonking his head on Bo's shoulder. Bo wrapped his arms around Vincent, squeezing him gently,
"It'll be okay...yea?"
Vincent nodded. Bo kept hugging his brother and he didn't miss the little whisper his brother gave,
"I hope so...".
