Sweet Lies | Nathan Young [Misfits]

- 41 -

"Hey! Can I have a Daikiri please?"

"A Jaeger bomb!"

"Hold the fuck on." Luke grumbled. "I only have two arms."

"Hey, do you know-"

Luke snapped his head up with an angry snarl. "For fuck's sake, I said-"

Instantly, his anger dwindled when his blue eyes met a soft pair of brown eyes.

The man was gazing down at him curiously, his brown hair was curt short and he had a soft jawline, making him look younger. However, he looked very muscular, the muscles on his arms flexing with each move he was making.

Attractive didn't even begin to qualify the guy standing before him.

"Uh..." Luke said dumbly, and the man raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Sorry for bothering you, I'm just looking for my sister." He grinned, and Luke blinked as he got blinded by the set of pearly white teeth his lips revealed.

"Who?" He asked.

"Jade, your singer." He quirked his head to the side. "She's supposed to be here tonight."

So he was Jade's brother? Goddamn, their mother makes attractive children.

As he gazed at him, Luke felt like going to his mother and thank her profusely.

"Oh, right." He nodded. "She's right over there with Nathan."

He raised his arm to point towards her, and ended up knocking over a bottle in the process. "Ah, fuck!"

The brown haired man burst laughing while Luke felt like he was dying inside of embarrassment.

"She's there." He mumbled in defeat as he pointed at her after putting the bottle upright.

"Thanks, man." He smiled. "I'm Connor, by the way."

"Luke." He said, and before Connor could leave he blurted. "Your lifespan!"

Connor looked at him in a mix of curiosity and amusement. "What ?"

"You have a nice lifespan." Luke said, and he chuckled nervously. "Seventy years left, yeah, that's nice."

Connor snorted, flaggerbasted. "That's the weirdest fucking compliment someone ever told me." He barked a laugh.

Luke slapped a hand on his forehead in embarrassment, his cheeks bright red.

"But, hey." The brunette made some finget guns at him. "Thanks, you too."

Luke groaned as Connor spun on his heels and headed towards his sister.

"You okay, fella?"

Luke raised his head to find a very drunk and very amused older woman gazing at him with half lidded eyes.

"You saw everything, did you?" Luke grumbled, and the woman chuckled.

"Yeah, that was pitiful."

Luke whined as he hid his face in his hands.

Meanwhile, Connor poked his sister's shoulder with his finger. She snapped her head towards him in startlement and smiled widely once she recognized him.

"Connie!" She yelled as she jumped out of her seat to wrap her arms around his neck.

"Hey, Jade." He grinned as he hugged her back. "Long time no see."

"I missed you sooo much." She gushed.

He pulled back with a grin. "I missed you too."

His eyes landed on the curly haired, green eyed boy drinking his beer as he watched them with an unreadable expression.
