"So, why the fuck did you tell him we were on a date?" Murphy said as soon as Barney left.
"He brought it up, I merely led him to believe it was true."
Murphy raised an eyebrow.
"I figured it would get him to leave me alone, yea?"
"Whatever." Murphy took a glance in the mirror behind the bar. "Pug face? Really?"
Connor snorted. "The man's got good taste."
Murphy punched Connor in the arm. "I mean, really. He thinks you're handsome, but I'm pug face?"
"If it makes you feel any better," Connor said, "that one thinks you're adorable." He nodded towards Robin.
"Which one? Shit, that one?"
"Mhm."
"She's hot!"
"Eh, objectively."
"You're fucking gay, you have no idea."
"Why don't you just go fucking talk to her, eh?"
"Well, I would, but somebody told her friend I am neither available nor straight?"
Connor laughed. "Looks like you got a problem."
"Come on, Con, go tell the suit we're not really on a date."
"So he'll come hit on me again? No thank you."
"Please, Con? You won't even help your brother get laid?"
"No."
"Aw, what kinda twin are you?"
"If you don't fucking drop the subject, I will be forced to show her how gay you really are."
"What the fuck are you talking about? Come on, she's looking over here, just go tell 'em I'm not gay."
Without warning, Connor leaned forward and kissed Murphy on the lips.
"But Murphy, how can I tell them you're not gay when you just kissed a man?" Connor said innocently.
"Fuck you!"
"You're getting less straight by the minute."
Murphy couldn't even think of a comeback for that.
"Win," Connor said triumphantly.
There you go, Athena, this chapter is specifically for you!
