A Failed Overdose And A Chain Of Events [tree bros]

15 - Protective Little Sister

No trigger warning?

Slight fluff?

Is this the same author?

Connor was getting high, and Evan was at his house.

Naturally, Zoe took him into her bedroom for a protective little sister talk. Although, she seemed more protective of Evan rather than Connor. "Evan, blink three times if Connor is blackmailing you."

"W-what? I mean, I, um... no," Evan finished

"Do you love my brother?"

Evan looked at her for a moment, almost shocked. "I-I'm sorry, what?"

"Do you love Connor?" Zoe asked again, slower, like she was talking to a little kid.

"I don't... I mean we haven't been dating for....for that, um, for that long. I'm sorry, maybe I should just go?"

Zoe shook her head. "No, don't go! I wanna know the details!"

"D-details?" Evan asked with an awkward laugh. "What, um, what details?"

Zoe sighed. "I mean...." She glanced towards the door. "Have you done it yet?"

"What?"

"I figured you were too innocent for that. My brother still doesn't have the skills to charm like me!"

"W-what?" Evan asked again.

"Nothing, Evan, don't worry about it." Evan shrugged. "So has he tried to hurt you, because Connor tends to do that to people that he, um.... loves."

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing, Evan, shouldn't have brought it up, and anyways, I'm sure that it won't matter. Connor likes you a lot. He told me... in a way."

"In a way?" Evan grew increasingly confused with each word Zoe said.

"Nothing, Evan. I have to go to Alana's anyways, for... a group project. Unless you wanna wait until Connor is back home and high, which will probably be tomorrow, you should probably go home. My mom will probably get scared over Connor any minute now, my dad will start yelling that he does this all the time, and they'll start fighting. If we get lucky, nobody gets hurt, and Connor never walks in on it."

Evan looked up from the ground. "Th-that's what you live with?"

"No big deal, Evan, it's been happening since Connor found out about weed."

"But that's–"

"I said it's no big deal. Long as you're happy with my brother, maybe everything will be alright." She grabbed a jacket sitting on her dresser. "Leave whenever the hell you feel like it, I'm going to Alana's place before my dad can interrogate me about it."

Lol I should do that to my older sister's boyfriend or my older brother's fiancee

Just be like "Don't hurt my sister/don't let my brother hurt you." That's not sexist it's just my siblings/pretty much siblings-in-law's personalities.

Also, Falsettos is cool, comment if you agree
