Noah

Okay, we can still spin this as them being drunk and sarcastic. Say they were trolling the trolls. Besides, the rumors have been rumoring for years. Zane and Felix are all over each other when we go out clubbing. We’re all a little handsier when drunk. It’s no worse than the world speculating about Zane’s bruises. Is it?

Avi

They’re all over each other’? Why don’t I know this?

Felix

Because you aren’t allowed to go to the clubs with us anymore after the last time.

Asa

Hey, if that guy didn’t want a broken nose, he shouldn’t have been staring at your ass like that. I was honor bound to defend my brother’s husband.

Lucas

You broke a guy’s nose for looking at Felix’s ass? Didn’t that look suspicious in and of itself?

Zane

We just lied and said it wasn’t Asa but Avi who punched him. It’s not like the average person can tell them apart.

Mac

Sounds like you can’t either.

Noah

Not helping, Mac. This is not the same as dealing with a broken nose or suspicion about bruises.

Thomas

Noah’s right. Implied domestic violence versus incest? One’s bad. One’s illegal.

Adam

Not in our state. The latter, I mean. Well, not between consenting adults anyway.

Noah

Why do you know that?

Never mind. Don’t answer that.

Jericho

What’s happening now?

Atticus

Your brother and my brothers went on Zane’s live and told everyone that they play wife swap on the regular and now the internet thinks the twins are committing adultery and incest.

Jericho

Pardon? My brother’s doing what with who?
