Recently, Ian's older brother, Lip, had been bringing around this guy around the same age as him. Eighteen. God, you were so cool. Ian couldn't help but sit in the living room just so he could sneak glances at the two of you while you were studying in the kitchen or he'd go to "take a nap" and listen to you two when you studied in their shared room.

He'd never really been the outgoing type unless he was really confronted with a situation that he needed to be. He couldn't bring himself to go over to you and introduce himself. That would be so fucking lame.

Until he did.

You had arrived with Lip was still out with Karen. Fiona, that traitorous sneak, had sent you straight up to the bedroom to wait for Lip, giving Ian the scare of his life.

"...Holy fuck. Hi. Um. Lip isn't here right now." Ian choked out.
