Connor hadn't dated in decades, not since Brenda in fact. Sure he'd gone out to the clubs and found women to have rolls in the hay with, but an actual date? Decades. At his home? Never. The night he confessed to Brenda about his immortality didn't count, she'd barged into the shop and demanded answers after piecing things together, not arrived for dinner and whatever might follow.
The fact was his dating skills were rusty as hell. Hopefully that wouldn't show too badly over the course of the evening with Laura, but then again she was rusty too so maybe it wouldn't register with her. It had taken him some time to admit to himself he was attracted to the young mutant and it wasn't leftover from the spell everyone had been under. Rachel had pegged him correctly all those years ago: he was lonely, and afraid to let someone through his defenses only to inevitably lose them to the grave.
But he decided Laura was worth the risk, mortal or not.
