Brother's Best Friend

BBF 7: A Small Concern

After coming home from vacation, things were weird.

It was weird for YN's brother because he was used to spending a lot of time with Harry, going out on weekends together, and most of his social life revolved around his best friend. Her brother was trying his best to be supportive, but he didn't like thinking about his sister in that way. He knew what kind of a person Harry was, the good, the bad and the ugly, and he knew what Harry usually talked about when it came to girls he was with. In other words, even if no one told him, he knew what they were doing together. And he didn't like it. In his mind, his baby sister was still innocent, and the idea of her enjoying the bedroom games and the dynamic that he knew Harry would be playing into was incredibly... weird.

It was weird for Harry because he felt torn between his best friend and his new... well, YN. He had told her that day in the ocean, the morning after he made her cum on the balcony of the hotel overlooking the sea, that she meant a lot to him. And she did. Every day she meant more and more and more to him. And he absolutely went feral when it was time to play. She was so good at it, even if she claimed she didn't know what she was doing. She listened to him in the moment, she appreciated the way he spoke to her, and she begged for more. And after, she snuggled up close to him as they both reveled in the way they felt. And although she sometimes felt a bit shy around it, the two of them were having really good conversations about what they did while they played, and he was excited for what was to come.

It was weird for YN because suddenly, the two most important guys in her life, a pair that had been connected at the hip for decades, were suddenly pulling her apart. Harry used to come to family events because he was practically her brother's twin. But when they were organizing the first family dinner after the trip, they weren't sure if they should invite him or not. Was he still her brother's plus one, or was he hers? When she took the time to chat with her brother, which she tried to do regularly, she quickly realized how uncomfortable it was to talk about the most important thing in her life at the moment - Harry. And when Harry wanted to go out to a bar, she never knew if she was going to be invited or not.

Ultimately, YN and her brother agreed it was probably best not to invite Harry to family dinner that time. Which led to a weird conversation in which YN wasn't quite sure if she should tell her parents they were somewhat together, and her brother wasn't quite sure if he should mention his best friend at all. Their parents picked up on the weird energy, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was and knew better than to bring it up.

The morning after, YN and Harry met at his place for coffee. They sat together on his couch drinking and he quickly picked up on her weird energy.

"How was last night?"

YN just shrugged before taking a sip.

"Weird."

Harry sighed.

And YN knew the look in his eyes as he gazed at her. She felt his pity.

"I'm sorry."

"Harry there's nothing to be sorry for?"

"But there is," he explained. "I've made everything so uncomfortable for both of you and it's not fair. It's not fair to any of us. Your brother deserves a good best friend, you deserve a good boyfriend, and I deserve to be happy with both of you. It's not fair."

It was quiet for a moment then, and YN digested a word that Harry had just used for the first time.

"Boyfriend?"

Harry's brows raised as he took a breath.

"Shit, did I say that?"

YN did her best to laugh it off, in case he wasn't ready for the label. In all honesty, he had been acting pretty much like a boyfriend. They saw each other all the time, whenever they could. And when they were apart, Harry was always sending her the cutest little texts like Good morning baby. Remember you said you needed to do the dishes, have a good today and don't let that dick in accounting get you down, I made an appointment for you to get your car looked at since the engine light is on.
