"Your boyfriend's hot," Rose noted, a combination of awe and envy evident in her voice.


Upon hearing Rose's shameless comment, Copter almost dropped the glasses in his hands.  He instinctively turned his head to glare at Rose, but found that her dazed eyes weren't on him.  


Unconsciously following Rose's gaze, Copter took in the sight of Kimmon, who was seated at one of the pub's booths.  He visibly flinched.  Jerking his eyes away, he tried his best to focus on filling the rest of the glasses with their customers' orders.  


"Hmm, P'Copter?  Where did you find such a handsome boyfriend?" Rose continued to press, seemingly oblivious to Copter's growing annoyance.  


"He's not my boyfriend," Copter grumbled.  


At that, Rose whipped her head towards Copter.  "What, he's not?!"  


"No, he's not," Copter confirmed while rechecking the orders pinned to the wall next to them. 


Rose's lips curved upwards into an excited smile.  "Then is he single?"


Abruptly pausing his movements, Copter looked back at Rose, who was now literally beaming with anticipation.  He frowned.  And what if he is?!  Copter was about to snap back with irritation before he managed to catch himself in time.  


What the f*ck?!  Why am I so annoyed?!      


Not wanting to unearth his real reasons, Copter's mind began to helpfully supply a bunch of excuses for his irrational behavior.  


Of course, I'm annoyed.  Rose is just sitting there, not doing anything, when she's supposed to be helping me.  So now we're freaking behind on all our orders.  And something must have happened in the kitchen because they're also being freaking slow with cooking the dishes.  So soon enough all the customers are going to start complaining and rioting...     


His rambling thoughts discontinued, though, when Teddy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Copter's shoulders and spun him around so that they were facing each other.  Eyes popping out in shock, Copter gawked at Teddy, who was openly sulking at him.     


"Oh my god, Copter.  Please please PLEASE tell your boyfriend that this place is safe!" Teddy groaned out with an extremely miserable expression on his face.    


"He's not my boyfriend!!!" Copter yelled back without a second thought.  


In a deafening volume that drew everyone's attention to himself.


Sh*t.  Wishing that he could melt through the floor and disappear from existence, Copter screwed his eyes closed.        


Appearing to recognize Copter's shame, Teddy gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder.  "Hey, it's okay.  No need to fudge the facts."
