Oneshots - Kayce Dutton

Brothers know best.

Request - Y/N is really good friends with her older brother who is very protective and he hasn't met Kayce yet so now that they've been dating for a little while she invites her brother to meet Kayce at the ranch and Kayce knows how important it is to her so he gets a bit nervous to meet him and stops showing Y/N pda while her brother is at the ranch :P so a slightly nervous Kayce and maybe her brother asking what his intentions are? Asking about Monica, Kayce putting his best foot forward.

You had been watching Kayce closely all morning. He was fidgety, wouldn't stand still for long periods of time, and seemed to be thinking hard about something. If you were a betting woman, you're bet would be on the fact your older brother was coming to spend two days at the ranch.

Your older brother was your best friend. After your parents died when you were younger, it had been the two of you. When you moved out to Western Montana two years ago, you knew you would miss him terribly. But after a month of being here, you met Kayce.

Kayce had been after you since day one. But you were always cautious around men, not that anything particularly happened to you, but you just weren't that type of girl to always have a boyfriend. So, you took it slow with Kayce, and about six months after meeting him, you agreed to go on an official date.

He picked you up for a sunrise breakfast on his ranch. Then that turned into a swim in the river and horseback riding. You were pretty sure you fell in love with the land before Kayce, but it was a close race.

You and Kayce had now been dating for about a year and it was time for him to meet your brother officially. You weren't nervous because you loved Kayce. He was a good man, cared for you deeply, and had a good heart.

You heard your brother's truck pulling and stood up from the couch. Kayce had stopped pacing and looked at you.

"Relax," You told him with a sweet smile, holding his hand.

The two of you made your way to the front of the foreman's cabin but when you opened the door, Kayce dropped your hand. You thought it was strange, but the thought left your mind when your brother got out of his truck.

Smiling big, you ran down and the steps and hugged him tightly. You had missed him more than you thought. You turned and saw Kayce awkwardly standing behind the two of you.

And that's pretty much how the first day went...awkward. Kayce was quiet, more so than usual. He and your brother talked, but you were more the mediator, or your brother asked him questions. The tour of the ranch took a few hours, which you were grateful for.

Dinner was even more confusing for you because Kayce sat as far away from you in his chair as he could get. It was then you realized that since your brother got there, Kayce hadn't touched you in any way. When it was time for bed, you stood up from your seat on the couch with your brother in the living room. As you walked by Kayce's seat you leaned down, but Kayce turned his head at the last second so your lips pressed into his cheek.

You glared at him for a second before you said goodnight and walked up to the bedroom. After getting ready, and getting more irritated, you turned of the bathroom light and stood there. Feeling like this whole thing was silly, since you all were adults, you went back downstairs.

You were about to barge back in and give Kayce a piece of your mind when you heard lower voices coming from the room. Stopping just near the doorway you listened in.

"So, why'd it fail?" Your brother asked.

"My marriage?" Kayce sighed.

Your eyes got big. Why on earth was your brother and Kayce talking about Kayce's first marriage?
