~ seven: talking! ~

"i know she'd never leave me, and i hate to see her cry"

~tommy pov~

"tommy," my sister tapped me on the shoulder. we'd been at the meetup for about two weeks now. it was amazing! we all got to hang out all the time, and i had tons of vlog content already. i know a few more months of this is going to be absolutely incredible!

"yeah?" i turned around on my heel to face her. my brotherly protectiveness creeping into my voice. it didn't matter that i was 2 minutes younger than kate was, i was her brother and i loved her. if anything were to happen to her, i don't know what i'd do... "everything ok, kit-kat?" she smiled at the nickname.

"i told you to stop calling me that, tommy-bear!" she joked. it was the old nicknames from when we were 6 or 7 years old. the two of us had always been best friends, and i knew we always would. "and, everything's fine, thanks. i just wanna talk to you! we haven't had our usual one-on-one talks in a few weeks, and i wanna catch up! i felt that right now was good because everyone is out." i smiled.

"yeah! sure, i-" noticing the hoodie she was wearing. "hey you stole my hoodie!!!" i laughed, not being able to keep the fake mad face on.

"hell yeah i stole your hoodie! your hoodies are simply better than mine are!" she giggled.

"fine." i rolled my eyes and ruffled her hair.

"oh for fucks sake! i'm 5'6 and your 6'1! it's not that large of a height difference!" she glared, smacking my hand away.

"6'3" i corrected. i knew damn well i was at least 6'2. (that one video was most definitely fake!)

"6'2?" she replied.

"deal." i groaned, flopping down on my bed. kate sat down next to me. "so, everything ok lately?" i asked, sitting up and turning to face her.

"kind of?" she took a deep breath. "tommy... do you promise you won't hate me for what i'm about to say?" she whispered. i grabbed her hand.

"your my sister, katie, i would never hate you. i promise." i said, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.

"okay..." she took another deep breath, "i think i like toby... as in i want to be more than friends with him. but i know he's your best friend and i don't want to make everything awkward for you. but i can't help it! he's just so.. amazing! and kind, and i know he would never like me as as more than friends... but i've never felt like this... not- not even with leo." her eyes teared up.

leo had been kate's closest friend up until high school. kate had told me all about how she hated herself for slowly catching feelings for him as we grew up. leo was one of my friends too, he slowly started to hate me after finding out i was growing successful as a streamer, he'd tried youtube/streaming but despite years of posting he'd gotten nowhere. i could tell that leo was jealous of the success i'd gotten. after leo and i stopped being friends, kate and him had started dating, and it was definitely obvious that she liked him a lot. but after kate started growing quickly on twitch he started using her for it. constantly begging her to show her face, or to let him stream with her. katie started realizing how shit of a guy he really was and she cut off contact. i, however, know that even though it's clear she doesn't like him anymore, that it's still a hard topic to bring up.

after the twos breakup kate had rarely left her room for weeks. one time i walked in on her self harming, and i immediately stopped her. that's around the time we stared the weekly talks. she'd had trouble opening up at first, but she was more trusting of me now. i was so happy she was willing to tell me about this.

i immediately pulled the blonde girl into a long hug. i tucked her hair behind her ear and used my thumb to wipe off a tear slipping down her cheek. i opened my arms for a hug, which she happily sunk into.

"kate, that's totally ok. i'm fine with it. i've literally said that you two are adorable." i said, pausing to tuck her hair from behind her ear. "thank you for trusting me enough to talk about it." i said, smiling softly as i patted her head. she rambled off about what if he didn't like her back. my god, she was so incredibly oblivious. like more oblivious than that one girl (sophie forner? foster? something like that) she used to go off about from that one series keeper of the lost cities i think?. but just, the way he flushed red when she'd compliment him, the way he could tell she was nervous and would hold her hand, the nicknames they have for eachother, the way he looked at her, and the way she looked at him. it was so incredibly obvious.

"tom, i love you" her words were muffled into my shirt.

"i love you too, kate"

she pulled away from the hug. and sniffled, wiping off her eyes, "your absolutely sure you don't mind if i like toby?"

"positive!" i smiled, booping her nose. she giggled softly.

she rubbed her eyes, "ah fuck, did i mess up my mascara?"

"no," i answered honestly, "i wouldn't have known you were wearing it if you hadn't told me."

"well thanks for letting me know you don't notice the little things about me, tommy." she said, crossing her arms in mock offense.

"oh, fuck you dipshit. i was trying to say you don't need it cause you're so pretty." i laughed, her fake serious face busted into a giggling fit. she flipped me off, i flipped off right back, sitting up from my bed, her following shortly after. we heard the door open, and let the others come in. evelynn was fast asleep, and wilbur had carried her in. i raised my eyebrows at him in a teasing manner. "oh fuck off mate" he mouthed.
