"Fuck." he hissed low enough where he wouldn't be overheard as both he and Junior almost ran into each other around a corner. "Junior." Spencer acknowledged with a knot, avoiding eye contact, "My bad, just..." He didn't know where that was going so he let the silence fill them.

"Sometimes..." he began, then shook his head turning the opposite direction. Sometimes he found himself staring at all the Fowler's simply trying to find his Finn in their features. It wasn't something he could just share so openly, so he pulled his cup of coffee up to his lips. "Anyways, get your butt up." Spencer pushed over the cup he'd brought for Junior, "Let's go smell the roses or some shit."

"Is there a reason you are staring at me like that?"

To be honest Spencer was a little shocked that Junior had agreed to keep it secret. Thankful - of course - but surprised nonetheless. He wasn’t sure how good a relationship he kept with Leo, but had read enough of the group chat to know they didn’t all get along. As close as he’s once been with Leo, their conversations didn’t often revolve around his siblings. Probably would have saved them the horror that occurred if Spencer had been a bit more inquisitive. “Thank you.” He replied quietly, turning to reach for their second shot. “And I’m sorry - If it ever gets too difficult… just let me tell him.”

Junior can't remember the last time he lied to Leo. He's never lied to his brother a day in his life. He's always assumed it's why Mik hates him too because even growing up, the one person he went to bat for every time was Leo. He brushes his tongue along his lower lip as he turns his head to look away from him, watching the glass get placed in front of him. He doesn't like the idea of doing it but Spencer already lost Finn. "Yeah, okay." He turns his head to look over at him, picking up his own glass. "Leo won't hear nothing from me." And it's a promise he knows he'll keep.

Finn had meant the world to Spencer. Had become the entire world after his father's passing, and losing him had been painful. So much so that he couldn't stand to be around his family. Around Leo. "Can this stay - between us? I can't - Leo - I can't." he didn't want Leo to find out. Couldn't handle the outcome of that. "He's all I have left, please just... I can't lose him too." It was selfish and Spence knew it. Asking Junior to lie to his brother, but Leopold was his only family. As strained as they've been the last few years. He turned towards the bar just as the shots were placed before him and shot it back not bothering to wait for Junior.

Junior follows them, raising his hand to rub the back of his head as he nods at a few people he passes. He leans against the bar and glancing up to the bartender but at his words his head turns fast to look at them. "No," he says softly, adjusting his stance. "Fuck." He mutters. He turns his head to look away from them, also turning his body to face the bar instead of them. "Yeah," he nods, reaching for the shot glass. "I get it now. Why you ran out so fast but you know you..." He turns to look at them again, brushing his tongue along his lower lip. "You didn't know."

"Yeah." he replied, turning to walk in the direction of the bar without bothering to glance back to see if he'd follow. Hoping that Junior would think better of it and escape before they made it there - Spencer probably would have if he'd been the one trailing behind. Upon reaching the bar, he ordered them each two shots before turning back to face him. "Okay. Um- I was in a relationship with your cousin." he said, avoiding looking at Junior directly but also confused as to how to even have this conversation. It wasn't something that easily rolled off the tongue, but he hoped it was enough to spark enough sense where he wouldn't have to outright say the words. "I saw your ID on the end table after we- so I freaked out, and the only thing that made sense at the time was to leave."

"Okay," he's not sure what to think. Why someone he didn't know would go out of their way to avoid him after hooking up with him. He thought he did a pretty good job but they ran out so fast he's been questioning himself ever since. "Sure," he clears his throat, gesturing to the bar. 'you ready?"

"It's-" Not what it looks like? But it was exactly that. Ever since that night, Spencer's done everything in his power to avoid running into him. Stopped going to the fights, stopped going to the bars, just stopped everything. Archibald fucking Fowler. "Yeah. Kind of. I'm sorry - for leaving the way I did... can we - talk? Have a drink or something? I could use a shot. Or four."

"Shit." Junior raises his hand to avoid splashing his glass. His eyes lifting up to rest on them, pressing his lips together. "You avoiding me?" So much for easing into this conversation slowly.

"Junior," he said pulling his shirt over his head, "Do me a favor and shut up." Spence brought their lips together once more.
