Author's Note: I've returned! I promise so much Lemma fluff in the next scene. Which will be almost entirely based on the marshmallow chocolate cookies. (Is anyone else ridiculously in love with that scene?) This scene is just me making Jordi happy and some Lemma set-up. Enjoy!

"Jooooordiiii?" Skylar called out as she entered Leo's room.
"Already looking forward to seeing your boyfriend over your brother?" Leo said from his spot on the couch.
"Hmm…Since I find him cuter and less annoying, then yes." She grinned. He placed a hand over his heart in mock pain.
"You know I'm sensitive about my looks. I am wounded, Sky. Severely wounded."
"Well, we could always get a second opinion on your looks…from Emma." Skylar winked and Leo's entire face, and most of his head, went an interesting shade of pink.
"I think I'll- oh Jordi, hi!" Leo shouted and Skylar turned around. Leo burst into a short fit of laughter.
"I so fooled you. That was amazing. You really like him, don't you?" He tilted his head inquisitively.
"I, uh."
"Come on," he patted the couch cushion beside him. "Sit and talk to your brother about your love life."
Skylar rolled her eyes but flopped down on the couch anyway. She smiled jokingly at him, until he nodded at her to continue.
"I like him. Gosh, Leo, I like him so much it hurts. His eyes are just, and his hair, and his poker face is so much fun to try and crack. I think if I just kiss his nose and it'll all fall apart-"
"I'm regretting this so much right now." He groaned. Skylar hit him with a handy pillow.
"Fine. Your turn. Emma feelings. Spill, right now." Skylar gave him a mock glare.
"Um…well, she's so smart, and she always looks fantastic. It's kinda fun to catch her off guard though, like when her hair is all rumpled in the morning. And when she wears the hat, you know, the one you sent, it just drives me crazy." Leo gazed off with a dreamy look on his face.
"You are hopeless." Skylar teased.
"Says the girl who dreams about playing with Jordi's hair." Leo shot back.
"I think I missed something…" Jordi walked in, a bemused smile on his face.
Skylar looked from Jordi to Leo, rendered utterly speechless. Leo was eyeing her warily and Jordi was trying very hard not to laugh.
"Leo, I love you, but you've embarrassed me, so prepare to die." Skylar said. Leo laughed, and then watched as Skylar shook her head, signaling the fact that it was not a joke. Not much of one, anyway.
"A little help?" Leo looked to Jordi.
"I am not picking a side. Nope." Jordi shook his head.
"Any ideas, then?" Leo said as he gathered his crutches and headed for the door.
"I remind you that Dash will reveal your location to me under duress." Skylar said.
Leo hobbled as fast as he could towards Emma's room. Skylar watched him go, then sighed and collapsed onto the couch, throwing an arm over her face.
"How much of that did you hear?" Skylar said. She peaked out to find Jordi's face hovering close to hers, a large smile on his face.
"If it helps, I like you that much too. But not even you can make me break my poker face." He grinned and bent down to kiss the blush growing on her cheeks.

"Emma, Skylar's trying to kill me, can I hide here?" Leo said quickly.
"Sure. What did you do?" She asked without glancing up from her book.
"Well, Skylar was telling me about Jordi, because I could tell she wanted to, and I'm a nice brother. Anyway, I might have let her keep talking when he was in the room." Leo finished and Emma winced in sympathy.
"You are in so much trouble."
"I know. Do you remember what happened when Dash tried to get her under the mistletoe last year?" Leo said with fear. Emma started laughing.
"I still have no idea how she turned all of his clothes pink." She giggled. Leo let out a little chuckle.
"You'd still like me if I wore pink, right?" Leo said. Emma smiled, then put a finger to her chin in mock deliberation. Leo gave her that lopsided smile that made her heart stutter in her chest.
"Well…" She said, and laughed when he pouted. Then, her phone pinged and she grabbed it off the table to read.
He likes your hair best in the morning, and when you wear the hat, it drives him crazy. He thinks that you're smart, which is correct because you are much smarter than he is. You're welcome, Emma. Love, Skylar. Tell Leo I say hi.
"I, I have to go." Emma managed, before she fled the rom in search of the other twin. If Skylar wasn't lying, if Leo wasn't into Kara, then maybe…
