Step-Sibling Rivalry (Finn Wolfhard x Reader)

𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚗.

Y/n's POV:

" I'm going to kill him! Y/n, I will do my absolute- "
" N-No, No, Brand. "
I try to stop Brand from taking his keys to go to Finn.
After I told him what happened, he wanted to kill him...
" But, Y/nnnnn!
Finn said he would never do anything like that to you!
As your best friend- "
He tried to argue but I was too tired and sad to converse with him properly.
All I could do was beg him to calm down.
The guy was frantic, sincerely. Pacing back and forth in the room
while he went on and on about way he could kill Finn.
Or do something remotely close to doing that, atleast.
" I- I- I know! I know... "
My words died down a sudden change of expression on his face.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
This probably isn't what you need right now. "
Brand finally sat down on the bed next to me.
" I'm just really pissed he hurt you.
When HE SWORE- "
He was about to go off again but I,
" Brand- "
" Right, sorry, sorry... "
He slouched looking down while I tried to stop myself from crying.
It's been over an hour and 30 minutes since well, that...
I couldn't even speak right from all the trembling.
" Be-Besides, how- how will you find him when- when I don't even know
where- where he is? "
Stuttering and slurring my words, Brand came closer and faced me.
" That's a fair point. "
He stroked his chin looking up.
" Wait, why did he leave in the first place again? "
He questioned me.
" My- My dumbass told- told him to l-leave. "
I wipe my eyes with the soft blanket.
" Here, drink some water. "
Brand handed me my water bottle. Drinking from it, I add,
" And- And then that's when he- he just left. "
I felt my throat tighten, knowing I was gonna cry again as I replayed the whole scene earlier.
This was like a movie.
A really bad one too.
" Hey, come here. "
Brand put his arm over me while I cried into his chest.
" I'm sorry you're dealing with this right now, Y/n. "
He rubbed my back while I continued crying.
" Why- Why now? I- I thought we'd be fine now- now that's he- he's gotten back... "
I sat up wiping my eyes with the front part of my shirt
already soaked.

After Brand helped me calm down, I also eventually stopped crying.
I couldn't ask for anyone better than Brand as  best friend.
I owe him.

" Y/n? "
" Hm? "
" I think you should tell your parents. "
Brand suggested.
HE suggested.
I looked at him for a good 10 seconds to see if he said what I think he said...

" Are you crazy? "
I ask him seriously.
" No? I'm being honest and I think it's the best solution. "
He replied and I questioned myself so much to the point where
I couldn't even believe he said that.
" Brand, you know they aren't supposed to know, right?
No one is suppose to in the first place. "
I make a point, hoping that eventually was drilled into his head.
" Yeah, I do. "
" Then why are you saying it's the best solution? "
Curious to know what he'd say next.
" Y/n, if your relationship is this bad. Then who knows how bad
it'll be in the future. It could be worse.
Way, way, worse. "
Brand talked, looking at me as if I was the stupidest person on earth.
" You- You can't just say that!? You know
we've resolved our problems? Isn't that how it's supposed to be? "
I didn't realize I raised my voice when I answered.
" Yeah, I know that- "
" Then why are you still implying it then?
Under no circumstance, I am not telling mom and dad! "
" Y/n, I'm just saying that it's the best solution between you guys!
Jesus, sometimes I think you're too fucking dumb to not think of another solution. "
He shouted which caught me off guard.
Not only the tone in his voice, but of what he said.
I kept quiet, not knowing what to say.

" Shit, I'm sorry, Y/n. I- I didn't mean that. "
Brand sat down across from me.
" You- You should go, Brand. "
My eyes were all watery again as I kept my head down.
Great, good going Y/n.
Yeah, tell Brand, the only person you could come to for anything to leave too
" I'm sorry, Y/n.
I didn't mean that. Please don't cry again- I- "
He tried to lower his head to take a look at my face.
" It-It's fine, Brand. "
I lie, holding on of what I needed to let out.
But I couldn't. For some reason I was embarrassed to do so.
" No, no it's not.
I didn't mean what I said. You're not stupid, Y/n.
I'm the stupid one for even saying that, okay?
I'm sorry, Y/n/n."
Brand tried to apologize, again.
" Stop saying sorry, dude. I get it. "
I felt so empty. I'm not even sure of what to say at this moment.
" What? You're not taking this
the wrong way, right?
Y/n? "
Concerned, he lightly held my shoulder making me look up at him.
A few streams fell down on my cheeks with a blank expression.
" Just go home, Brand. Please.
I've fought with Finn. I don't want to argue with you too.
Most importantly lose you. "
" But Y/n/n, you won't lose me though- "
" I know, but- "
" But Y/n- You know I-
" Just go, Brand. "
I tell him straight to his face.
" Okay? "
As much as I didn't want him to leave,
I knew if he stayed we'd probably continue arguing.
" Will you be fine? "
He stood up with the saddest look plastered on his face.
" Yeah. "
I nodded standing up.
" You know I'm sorry, right? "
He tells me for like the 5th time.
" I do. "
I say, bringing him into a hug.
I guess I knew?
He hugged back, tightly.
Sniffling I pull away and with that he took his keys from his pocket.
Walking to my bedroom door to leave,
" Stop by tomorrow, or later, okay? "
I tell him and I see a smile appear on his face.
Didn't see that for awhile...
" I love you, Y/n. "
Brand mentioned out of nowhere.
" I love you too, Brand. "
I say back, smiling after a while too.
