Luke's Brother👯

Genre: Fluff💗 & Small Angst💔

Luke's POV🥁:
"Right, so what am I doing...?" Zander asks, staring up at the fairly low window that leads to my bedroom. "You have to climb through!" I say cheerfully, putting my hands on my hips. I expect him to go along with it and maybe ask me for help but instead he looks at me with an appalled, disgusted look. "Luke, are you joking?" He raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms. I tilt my head, confused. "Uh, no...? Why would I?" He looks at himself, "You want me, looking like this, in my new blazer, to climb through a dusty, probably infested window?!" I sigh and roll my eyes, "Yes, Zan. You know you can't go through the door." "Well isn't there another way that doesn't involve me getting dirty?" He looks around, searching for a back door or something. I tap my foot on the ground, becoming slightly irritated. "Look, you either go through there or you don't come in at all." He meets my eyes and his expression softens, realising he's making a scene. "Alright, fine. But give me a boost or something." I suddenly feel guilty for snapping and I clear my throat, "Yeah... just put your hands on the windowsill." He nods and hesitantly places his hands on the edge of the windowsill, trying to avoid the cobwebs. I put my hands on either ends on his waist and shove him up, keeping a tight grip as he stumbles through the open window. Once both his feet are over, I hear a soft thump as he hits the floor. "Ow..." I hear him mumble, making me snort out a short laugh. "Are you alright, sweetheart?" I ask, holding in my laughter as I hear him reply. "No! Why did you throw me in like that?!" He stands up and glares at me from inside. I smile at his appearance, his hair is ruffled and his clothes are all screwed up. "Sorry! I wanted to make sure you wouldn't fall!" He runs his hands through his hair vigorously, as well as straightening his clothes. "Whatever. How are you getting in?" "Through the door! I'll meet you in there!" He scoffs as I run to my front door, opening it and throwing my shoes off, leaving them rather messily on the floor. I make my way to my bedroom and open the door, closing it behind me. Zander is sitting on the bed, clearly in a mood with me. "I don't get why I couldn't have gone through the door too..." He mutters angrily, looking away from me. I sigh again and sit next to him, "Zan, you know how my parents are with you. They wouldn't let you come in if you went through the door." He turns to look at me, unamused. "Why don't they like me? You've never told me why." I rub my neck nervously, worried about his reaction to my coming statement. "Um, they think you're a bad influence on me... mainly because of your attitude and personality..." His anger fades into sorrow, obviously sinking into his insecurities. I quickly grab both his hands in mine and look into his eyes, "But, that's just them! And I think their opinions are very wrong. Your personality is the best part about you! And I'm going to be painfully honest with you, your attitude is simply adorable in my eyes." He smiles at me, faint blush filling his cheeks. He squeezes my hands and gives me a quick peck on the lips. "Thanks, Luke. And I'm sorry for being dramatic earlier. I should've just gone through the window without starting an argument-" I cut him off, "No, I'm sorry for snapping at you. You had every right to not want to climb through the window, I wouldn't have wanted to either." He tackles me in a hug, making me lose my balance for a moment before I hug him back. "Love you..." He mumbles, his face buried into my shoulder. I smile, "Love you too, hun."

While we were having a good moment, unfortunately it was ruined as my door opens, making me and Zander jump apart from each other, thinking it was my parents. But no, it's just my annoying brother, Ezra. He looks up from his phone as he leans on my door, "Luke, I'm borrowing your charger-" He pauses as he sees us both. He blinks a few times, looking at our flustered faces. He smirks, his eyebrows moving up and down. "Oooh~ did I interrupt something?" I cross my arms, "No! We were just hugging! Leave!" I point at the hallway outside my door, gesturing for him to leave. He rolls his eyes, "You're no fun. Anyway, Zander! My guy! How've you been?" He walks up to Zander, placing his phone in his pocket. Zander wipes away his flustered state and smiles, "I'm doing fine! How about you?" "Yeah, yeah, same old, same old. Say, I got a hamster last week, wanna see?" He puts his hand out for Zander to take. Zander gasps, "YES, of course!" He takes his hand and runs with him to his room, leaving me speechless on my bed. Well, I knew they were kind of friends, but did they have to just ditch me like that? I stand up, grabbing my school backpack off the floor and grabbing my homework out of it. I might as well finish this since I have the time. I sit in my desk chair, sighing as I scribble down answers to questions.

Two hours later, I've finished my homework and I shove it back in my bag, checking the time. Wow, and I thought Zander came here for me. Maybe he just came so he could hang out with Ezra instead. Jealousy flows through my veins and I sit back down on my bed, my back lying on the headrest. What if... he's forming a crush on him somehow? Or he's slowly losing interest in me? Or he secretly hates me and only got with me so he could see him? I take a deep breath, clearing my head. Don't be ridiculous, Luke. You've known each other since forever and he didn't even know about Ezra until middle school. I grab my phone, scrolling through videos in a way to distract myself from my head.

Another hour later, Zander finally walks back into my room. His smile fades as he sees me, realising he took up pretty much all of our hang out time. I don't look at him, staring at my phone still. "Luke... I'm really sorry..." He hesitantly walks up to the bed and sits next to me, putting his hand on mine. I put my phone down, glaring at him. His eyes widen slightly, it's not every day you see me like this. "And what's your excuse for taking three hours to get back?" "I honestly didn't even know I took three hours, I swear I would've come back to you sooner if I knew-" I cut him off, not taking his bullshit. "Yeah, I suppose time flies when you're having fun, huh?" I say, anger and jealousy dripping in my tone. He sighs, ashamed with himself. He grabs my hand with both of his, "Luke, I know what you're thinking, I've known you for so long that I can practically read your mind. I don't like Ezra more than you, in fact I think he can be pretty annoying sometimes. And I'd never leave you or date him instead, you're perfect in every way. And, if it makes you feel any better, I got you your charger back...! And my mother says I can stay over tonight." I look at him in the eyes, they look so sincere and loving, no hints of lying in them. I smile slightly, "Right... sorry, I was overthinking..." He shakes his head, placing the charger on my bedside table. "Don't worry, I would have too. I just want you to know that I am truly sorry for leaving you for that long, I was mostly looking at his hamster." I chuckle softly, "It's okay, I get it..." He raises an eyebrow at me, "Luke, don't lie to me. I can tell it's not okay." My smile fades, I forgot he was really good at sensing when someone's lying. I look away, taking my hand out of his and fiddling with my fingers. He sighs, "What can I do to make it up to you?" I blush a light crimson colour, "You can just cuddle with me... that's all I want..." He smiles and cups my face, kissing me. I obviously return it, wrapping my arms around his waist. When he pulls back, he says, "I swear, my heart belongs to you and only you. I love you." I smile, "Woah, I never knew you had a romantic side to you." He rolls his eyes, blush creeping onto his face. "I was trying to comfort you. I'll leave if you carry on." I laugh slightly, "No, no! I liked it! It was cute." His blush grows and he puts his hand to my mouth. "Shut up. Don't say any more." He moves his hand and lays on top of me, wrapping his arms around me, his head lying on my chest. I smile and kiss his head, my arms still wrapped securely around him. I decide to respond to his previous statement, "I love you too."

A/N: I'M SORRY, THE ENDING WAS PROPER CRINGE. Not going to lie, why did they seem like a toxic couple in this?? I swear I didn't intend that.
