The Nerd and The Frog

Good Genes

"Oh, what's up?" Daniel asked, giving Alan his full attention.

Not expecting Daniel to actually be that interested in this situation, Alan's hands burrowed more into his pockets, his eyes averted completely. He was nervous, figuring that he had mentally prepared himself for this situation.

I need to tell him this... better to do it now and get his reaction and rejection, instead of later and he hates me forever.

Alan, taking a deep breath as he looks Daniel in the eyes carefully, only to see him return the stare.

"Daniel... I..."

However, before he could fully speak, something caught his attention from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but look at it, as it was hurling into the bedroom at such a fast speed. The sounds of feet quickly moving against the floor were going towards Daniel, before crashing into him completely, propelling him onto his bed as he cried out in shock.

Alan stood frozen in place, his eyes wide as he watched the whole scene unfold in front of him.

"DANNY! Where the hell is my copy of FIFA?!" a voice screamed out. A man, who was not much older looking than Daniel, had him pinned face down onto the bed, trying to put him in a headlock.

Daniel, who was now trying to wrestle his way out of this man's arms, was letting out noises of frustration and annoyance. "Brian, I. DON'T. HAVE. IT! Get off!" Daniel shouted, reaching up to try and claw at the man's face.

"You're lying! You were the last one to touch it! I haven't seen it since I've been here!" Brian shouted back, holding Daniel down without too much effort.

"You took it with you back to campus on break!! You texted me that you found it!!" Daniel proclaimed, using his left leg to promptly kick Brian in the back with force. Brian cried out in pain, reaching back to grab the foot, before making a face of realization.

"Oh shit... you're right..." Brian spoke.

With that pause, Daniel pushed himself off the bed with as much force as he could, causing Brain to let go of his foot, roll off his back and onto the floor with a loud thud. "The fuck, dude?! You could've asked first!"

"My bad, little brother! My bad! I thought I brought it with me this time around! I guess I left it on campus." Brian said with a cheeky grin, rubbing the back of his head as he laid on the floor. However, he looked over at Alan in surprise, having not seen him prior to tackling Daniel.

Alan just stared down at him in confusion and shock.

"Hey there, stranger! Who are you?" Brian asked with a bright smile, getting to his feet.

When he stood up straight, Alan felt even smaller than before. Brian was quite tall, about 6'3" and muscular. His hair was buzz cut and his black eyes looked down at him in curiosity. He looked very similar to Daniel, but had a full beard on his face.

"Um.... hi..." Alan said shyly, more so in amazement at how tall, toned and handsome this guy was.

"Brian, this is my friend, Alan. He's here to hangout." Daniel said as he climbed off the bed, attempting to fix his clothing and hair in the process.

"Oh, hi, Al! Nice to meet you! I'm his older brother, Brian." Brian said happily, extending his hand out for him to shake. Alan returned the gesture, a bashful smile on his face.

Damn... are all the men in this family attractive?

"Why are you two so noisy?" another voice stated from the bedroom entrance, however it was much deeper and stern.
