The boys were waiting on the couch when Felicity returned, in the middle of watching an episode of Cold Case. Rix slid over a little, making room for her beside him as she fell back onto the couch.
"So, how was your 'date' with Chase?" DJ asked after a few seconds of silence, finger quotes and all.
"Really well, thank you very much." Felicity answered. "It turned into an actual date towards the end. We're going on an, I guess, official date Friday night. We'll still hang out 'til then, but he said he wanted to do something more suitable for a date, like the movies or something."
"What?" He brothers asked in unison, firing into upright positions.
"Be kind; rewind." DJ said as Rix paused the TV. Felicity sighed in mild annoyance, but was unable to keep a grin from breaking out on her face.
"Chase asked me out and I said yes."
"So you two are an actual couple now?" Rix asked.
"Yes, and I expect you two to behave yourselves." Felicity said, glaring at her brothers as they exchanged a conspiratorial look.
"Aw, c'mon Sis." DJ teased. "He's our friend, who just so happens to now be dating our sister."
"How can we not mess with him?" Rix finished.
Felicity rolled her eyes, knowing they would do it, regardless of what she said. Taking her response for what they knew it to be, acceptance, Rix unpaused the TV and they sat in silence for a few more seconds until Rix placed his hand on Felicity's knee, prompting her to look at them.
"For the record," he said, "we're happy for you, Sis."
"But, if Chase ever hurts you," DJ added, "friend or not, we will be coming after him."
Felicity laughed. "I appreciate the defense boys. Let's hope I'll never need it."
"Either way, we'll always be here." DJ said, getting up and moving to her other side, forcing his siblings to move down. Felicity smiled as she rested against Rix, who was now leaning against the couch arm, and wrapped her arm around DJ's shoulders as he lay against her.
