" 𝕵une says you look really really good".

Jack looks up from his perch on Luke's desk chair, his eyes that were only seconds ago focused on the window startle as they focus on his brother adjusting his suit jacket and quickly sitting down on the bed with his phone.

Jack's brows pull together.

"You sent her a photo of me?".

"I did".

"And she says I look good?".

"Really, really good. Be precise".

He blinks, Luke's lips tugging up in a grin.

"You guys are talking about me?".

"No".

"Yeah? Why did you send her a photo of me then?".

"I think the real question is", Quinn leans against the desk, "which photo did you send her? Show us, come on".

Luke's gaze flits between his older brothers and suddenly he feels ganged up on.

So, he scoffs and quickly unlocks his phone to do the one thing that will shut them up.

They all wait for a couple of moments until a familiar voice fills the room.

"Shouldn't you be on your way?", the loud sound of a chip crunching between her teeth follows her question, her face appearing on the screen.

"Nah. I had to show you my outfit, remember?", Luke smiles wider upon seeing Jack shift uncomfortably in his peripheral vision.

June's glasses momentarily slip down her nose but she's quick to pull them up, her messy bun bobs on the top of her head as she straightens up placing the packet of chips down and brings the phone closer to her face.

"Are you alone?".

"Quinn's here. Don't you wanna see my suit?".

Her eyes narrow in suspicion.

"Whatever changed your mind?".

"Missed your stupid face, I guess".

She snorts and waves her hand as if to say "well, get on with it".

"Let me see your suit".

He moves his phone higher in the air letting her see his whole body properly.

She shoves another chip in her mouth, speaking through a mouthful.

"You look like shit".

"Wow, thanks. That's doing wonders for my confidence".

She smiles in annoyance, "I'm sure it is. Hey Quinn!".

Luke glances up at a surprised Quinn who slowly saunters over to come in the frame.

Jack stays rooted to the desk chair with a clenched jaw.

Luke's smile grows.

"Hey, Juniper. Long time no see. Heard you disappeared without a word".

Her chewing halts, considering the oldest Hughes leaning over Luke's shoulder with a teasing smile.

She swallows, clearing her throat.

"Needed to get away from that mouse right next to you. Anyway, you look beautiful. Has Cassie seen you yet?".

Quinn laughs nervously just as Luke opens his mouth to retort at her comment.

"No, she'll be here any minute though".

June grins, "Oh, you two will look so pretty together".

"We're going as friends", Quinn rubs the back of his neck, suddenly shy about the attention he's getting.

She shrugs, "Sure".

"Do I really look like a mouse?", Luke intervenes making her giggle.

Jack inhales sharply at the sound of her giggle, staying rooted in his place right there in the room but far away from the conversation.

Quinn looks up at the sound, quietly gauging his younger brother who is clearly irritated by not getting the chance to see or talk to her.

"I'm kidding. You look gorgeous. Wish Aurora could see you like this".

"Well, she can't . . . ."

"Why don't you FaceTime her?".

Luke scrunches up his nose, "That would be weird".

"No, it wouldn't. Just say a quick hi. I'd appreciate it if I were her".

"If it blows, I'm blaming you".

She nods earnestly.

"Hey, Jack just came in. You wanna talk to him?", Quinn interrupts their conversation.

Luke bites his lip to suppress his smirk, June's face going completely neutral in response.

"Oh? Yeah, uhm. I think I should go. You're all busy. Have fun!", she waves her goodbye, ready to end the call.

"No, wait!", Luke yells, stilling her in place, he throws a glance at a confused but eager Jack and exhales, "Jack, what is your response to June saying you look really, really good?".

"Luke", she groans from the other side of the phone but Luke avoids her because he knows that it is solely her curiosity and longing that's kept her on the phone even now.

Jack opens his mouth, no words coming out.

He coughs in his fist, fiddling with his fingers as all three of them wait for his reply.

"Can never look as stunning as her though".

He says it so seriously that despite wanting to burst out into a laughing fit, Luke controls himself.

"What'd he say?", June whispers into the phone as if the entire room cannot hear her words still.

Luke looks back at the screen.

"'Can never look as stunning as her though'".

"Oh", she chews on the inside of her cheek.

"You want to talk? To him?", Quinn asks leaning closer to Luke.

She shakes her head.

"I'm fine. Have fun. Send me pictures".

Jack's face falls and Luke tries to ignore the pit in his stomach instead directing a faint smile to June.

"You got it".

She smiles briefly, "Bye".

"Bye", and the call ends leaving the three of them in complete silence.

Jack stands up abruptly, smoothing down his jacket.

"I'll go check if mom's ready", with that he leaves the room, Luke and Quinn exchanging knowing glances.
