A WEIRD KINK

REAS glanced at his brother who just bent down and picked the AI cat lying in wait for them in front of the apartment's entrance.  The other started walking inside, the lights automatically turning on as he did. 

"What is it?" Astrid asked, noticing his brother's stare that was almost boring a hole on his back.

"Why did you tell that to that guy?" Reas asked as he also walked inside.  "That thing about being friends first before he could eat your homecooked meal."

The way Astrid said that, it was like he was encouraging the other to make effort to befriend him.  If he just wanted to refuse that prince, he could have just said it directly without mentioning any of that thing.  That's why he couldn't help but think that his brother was actually thinking of being friends with that jerk.

Astrid put down Xiao Lan before turning around and facing Reas.  Just looking at how the other was scowling, he already had an idea on what he was thinking.
