“You don’t know if I was scared to be your friend or not. Maybe I like the danger. Maybe it gets me off knowin’ daddy could ‘ave me killed at any minute.” Of course, Tristan’s… family that had a lot of financial tie-ins with Lucy’s, and they often made deals with the mafia, but that was a much bigger secret than Lucy’s identity. People feared Lucy, but Tristan? Seemingly harmless. That was exactly how he wanted it.
He laughed, standing and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. “Yeah, they’re not great at fakin’ it, are they? I feel bad for them. Shame, ‘cause I could definitely show ‘em what they’re missin’.” A shrug as he pondered the question for a moment. “Whichever room you want. Top floor is mine, but other than that, any.” He knew what Lucy was like; the second she walked into the right room, she’d know it was hers. And she’d immediately be planning exactly how she was going to rearrange.
“Come on. Let’s get you some coffee an’ a break from Mr. Grey back home.”
Lucy couldnt help but laugh at Tristan’s word choice. “So the idea of my dad coming an killing you gets you off? Tris, you have odd kinks.” She teased with a smile. “You’re safe, though. You protect me. Look out for me and make sure I stay fed and have fun even while I’m here doing all the school stuff.” She mused with a smile. “You’re the big brother I never had. Daddy knows that, and I think if someone hurt you, you’d be protected too. Daddy likes me happy, out of harm’s way. Its why he doesn’t come around personally except at night to deliver the presents.” She was glad she had Joker watching out for her, even if her mother worried over him finding Lucy.
She covered her mouth with her hand as Tristan made his comment. “I’m pretty sure I don’t want to hear you having sex, Tris. Please dont scar me like that.” She joked, nudging him as they walked. “Maybe we can stay there tonight, after we make the library pretty again.” She offered. “I can look around and see. Deal?”
