Brother's Best Friend

Chapter Nine

**Cecelia's P.O.V.**

Kenzie was still adamant on getting Ethan to admit that he wasn't as straight as he claims to be. She would constantly bring it up every time he was hanging out with us, and recently he'd just stopped hanging out with us altogether. Whenever I invited him to hang out he was always 'busy'. I didn't know what to do. I was a little annoyed that he was purposely avoiding spending any time with us, especially considering that I hadn't really done anything to him. Besides all Kenzie did was tease him, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Ethan had a tendency to blush a lot. He blushed at a simple compliment from anyone and whenever something sex related was brought up. That's why he was always blushing around Caleb. I didn't see how that could be taken as him being gay, because it really couldn't. That's just how he reacted.

Kenzie insisted that Ethan wasn't straight, claiming that he never dated any girl. I didn't know if he dated before. Ethan was pretty private about his life, especially when dealing with relationships. In fact I'm not aware of him ever being in a relationship. However, that wasn't enough proof. I remember one time when Ethan seemed torn up about something that seemed relationship related, but he had passed it off saying that nothing had happened and to this day I don't know if anything did. Maybe it did have to do with a girl. It was just a guess, but it could possibly be true.

"I'm telling you. He's gay," Kenzie insisted for the millionth time. I was getting a little tired of her constantly bringing it up. Even if he was, I just wanted to yell so what! He was still our best friend! Hell knowing Kenzie and I we would probably be celebrating it.

I just scowl, choosing not to reply. I didn't know what to say anymore. It was irritating discussing our best friend's sexuality, as if we knew him better than he knew himself. If Ethan said he wasn't gay, then he wasn't gay. I didn't see the point of having to cram this down his throat, just because Kenzie had a sick little fantasy of Ethan with Caleb. I wasn't going to lie, I found that extremely hot, but this was all Ethan's choice. Not ours.

"Let Ethan make his own decision," I retort.

I didn't care what his sexuality was. Hell he could be a freaking vegetable and I would still be his best friend. We may have dated for a couple months, but it was like that never happened. There were no awkward moments between us, we just went back to being best friends. It was a little hard to get a hold of him, now that he was purposely avoiding us though. I understood he was a little annoyed, I was as well, but he didn't need to avoid us altogether.

"Let's just go over to his dorm," she suggest.

For once I agree with her, so we head over to his dorm. But once we got there, I really wish we had come a little earlier. Caleb opened the door with his breathing ragged, dilated pupils, and swollen lips. It looked like he had just gotten done having an intense make-out session and, being that he was the only other person in the room, it was obviously with Ethan.

That is so hot.

"I told you," Kenzie brags, squealing as she pushes her way into the room.

She heads over to Ethan and gives me a bone crushing hug while I stand by the door, along with Caleb, as we look at them amused.

"Like your friend said, I told you so," he brags as well, probably referring back to when he said he could get with Ethan.

I just roll my eyes. As I'm about to head over to Ethan, there's a knock at the door. I open the door and Jason enters the room.

He notices Caleb and his swollen lips,"Who were you kissing?" He asks with a scowl.

"Nobody," I interject before Caleb can answer. Although it's obvious to Kenzie and I, I'm not sure whether Ethan wants my brother to know.

"Do you not have any friends?" Kenzie questions, and I silently thank her for changing the subject.
