Summary: Everyone except Cal is getting some.
I side-eyed Niko from my seat on the couch. He still looked amused by my traumatic experience. I could feel the brotherly love rolling off of him. Bastard.
"You need to get out more, Cal," said Niko. "Perhaps a little romance in your life? It seems that young lady may have been flirting with you."
"That was no lady," I insisted. "She was like a Banshee or a Black Annis. And why are you busting my balls about my non-existent love life?"
"I just want you to be happy, little brother," he replied. "You deserve to find someone and live your dreams."
"Like you?"
Niko shrugged. "I have no complaints."
"So your dream was to be the boy toy of a wealthy vampire?" I taunted.
Niko crossed the room and had me in a choke hold before I could blink. I cursed and struggled to no avail.
"I was joking," I gasped out. "Let go."
Nik swept my feet out from under me and dumped me on the floor. I laid there and coughed while I caught my breath.
Goodfellow sauntered into the apartment as if the door hadn't been locked. He slid his lock-picking kit into his pocket while taking in the situation at a glance. "Has your sarcasm earned you corporal punishment again, Caliban?"
I sat up and massaged my throat. "Why do you always assume the worst of me?" I demanded. "And why break-in all the time? Can't you knock like a normal person?"
"You push your brother's buttons constantly," said Robin. "I need to keep my skills sharp, and I'm not human. Do you have any further questions?"
I wobbled upright and dropped back onto the sagging couch. "Just one," I replied. "Niko thinks I need to get laid--"
"I never said that."
"You do need to get laid, kid."
"...do you have any prospects for me?"
