Turning Blue

"What's got you eager today?" Jake asked, watching as Y/n looked around from the hood of Jake's car.

"What do you mean?" Y/n asked, looking back at Jake with furrowed brows.

"You've been looking around since we got here, who are you trying to find?" He asked.

"No one."

"Why don't I believe you?" He asked, leaning back on the hood of the car.

"Because you don't trust anyone." She said, laughing at him.

"That's not true."

"You've lived a rough life. It's okay to have your walls up Jake." Y/n said, tapping him on the shoulder.

"You're a weirdo, have I ever told you that?"

"A lot."

"Good."

"You're so mean to me." She said, holding a hand to her chest in mock offense.

"Yeah, you're so mean to her Jake, you really should lay off." Josh said, walking up behind the two of them.

"No one, huh?" Jake said, turning to Y/n.

"You mad that he agrees with me?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"No, but you are the sole reason I have trust issues."

"Ouch."

"So where are we going for lunch today?" Josh said, walking over to Jake's side.

"Well, with that outfit, maybe we'll get our meal free wherever we go." Y/n joked, taking in Josh's appearance.

"What's wrong with my outfit?"

"You're kidding right?" Jake asked, trying his hardest not to laugh at his brother.

"No, I don't see a problem with it."

"Josh, your legs are turning blue." Y/n said, looking down at his bare legs.

"They are not." Josh said, looking down at his own legs.

"You know, you could have changed, the agreement was just for you to wear it at your first class." Y/n said, leaning back on her hands against the hood of the car.

"Agreement? What fucking agreement?"

Josh and Y/n looked at each other, then at Jake, breaking out into laughter.

"Also, Josh. If I remember correctly, it was loser had to wear it, I'm pretty sure you beat me."

"I told you, it's always been a dream of mine. Just remember this the next time I ask for a favor. I'm taking the heat for you."

"I don't remember asking you to, I have my maid costume in the trunk of my car." Y/n said, pointing to her car parked right next to them.

"It wouldn't be very gentleman-ly if I let you do this in near negative weather."

"And you're such a gentleman."

"You're welcome."

"You know, I kind of want to change into it just to spite you now."

"I don't know if it would—" Josh closed his mouth, cutting himself off.

"—Nevermind."

Y/n squinted at him.

"No, please, continue Josh. You don't think it would what?" Jake egged on.

"Hm? Oh I don't remember what I was going to say."
