“Why?” Hannah looked completely scandalized.

Quinn’s eyes rounded comically, then he burst out laughing.

I knew he’d be the first to figure it out.

“Nothing about this is funny.” Adam shot Quinn an accusing look.

“It’s pretty funny,” Bas said to my brother. He shifted his gaze to me and leaned down. “Hi,” he said, his voice soft and full of affection.

I tilted my head back and smiled up at him. “Hi.”

He pressed a soft kiss against my lips.

The room went absolutely silent as everyone froze.

“I hope you don’t mind me crashing dinner,” Bas said to my dads like everyone wasn’t staring at us like we’d suddenly sprouted wings and started breathing fire.

“Of course not,” Dad said, snapping out of his shock.

“You know you’re always welcome,” Pops added.

“Are you…” Hannah looked between us.

Bas looked at his sister, his face the picture of innocence. “Are we what?”

“Son of a bitch, you are!” Adam jumped up and down a few times like an excited toddler. “It worked!”

“Yes!” She jumped up and pumped her arm a few times in victory. “Finally!”

“You owe me twenty.” Quinn poked Adam in the side.

“Doesn’t count.” Adam shook his head.

“It totally counts.”

“Wait, what worked?” I asked my brother.

“Getting you together.” Hannah clapped excitedly. “Took you guys long enough.”

“What?” Bas cut in. “You were trying to get us together?”

“Duh.” She rolled her eyes at him. “We got tired of waiting for you to figure it out on your own, so we’ve been playing matchmaker.”

“You were?” Bas asked.

“Oh yeah. As soon as you told us you’re bi, we stepped it up.” Adam tossed him a cheeky grin. “But we figured that out years ago.”

“You did?” Bas questioned, stunned.

“It was so obvious.” He nodded.

“So obvious,” Hannah repeated.

“Obvious?” Bas croaked.

“Not about you being bi,” Hannah assured him. “That wasn’t obvious, but you and Jesse, totally obvious to us.”

“That’s good, I think.” Bas shot me a questioning look, then glanced at Quinn. “Were you a part of this?”
