Brett's POV

My friends and I were playing basketball, not far from the flat. It was a nice place to play ball, surrounded by a park and a skating rink so it was a very lively place where there was always something that was happening. 

Once I and my friends were having a break to drink some water we were just talking about random stuff while I was looking towards the park. 

Is that Noah, I tried to look closer at the guy that resembled Noah, both how he looked but also his fashion sense. I didn't really catch Noah when I woke up since he was out running and I went here. 

It seemed like he just got to the park as he and another boy dressed in a tight black t-shirt, black jeans, and black vans sat down beside him inside one of the gazebos in the park. 

''Come on Brett'' one of my friends said and clapped me on my shoulder so we could continue playing. It had gotten warmer since the sun was shining. We decided to throw off our shirts and just play in our shorts. 

I was playing well, but I tried to look towards the boys sitting and talking in the park whenever I had the chance. 

Suddenly I saw the dude dressed in all black, put his arm between Noah's tighs, and pulled Noah closer to him as he moved towards Noah, and Noah was about to do the same. Are they going to kiss?

''Yo, Noah!'' I call, stopping the kiss. Both Noah and the dude that was with him turned around to look towards the basketball court, where we were playing.  

Shit, why did I do that, now that both of them were watching me I can't just stand here like an idiot? I started to jog towards Noah and the guy with him. 

Once I got to where they were sitting I took off my cap to try some sweat from my forehead with my arm before, before I put the cap on again. 

''Who is this?'' I said and put my arms up to grab the beam of the gazebo entrance that was over me to lean on.

''Why do you care?'' Noah asked annoyed. I didn't really appreciate the way Noah way answering me and I could tell my facial expression was getting angrier. 

I turned my angry gaze from Noah to the other guy. ''What are you doing with Noah, and what's your name?''

''I'm Sam and we are on a date'' he answered and I could tell he was getting nervous but tried to stay confident. 

''I can see that, but why are you trying to achieve with this date, Sam?'' I said and put extra pressure on his name as I spoke. I put my arms down and crossed them in front of me, making my chest and bicep appear bigger. I knew what I was doing and I guess Noah did as he rolled his eyes.

''Are you his ex'' Sam asked, but before I could answer Noah interrupted. ''No, he's my roomie who sometimes thinks he's my dad'' Noah said and raised his voice a little when telling Sam that I acted like his dad, which I'm not. I'm only looking after him.

''So what are you after Sam, are you not going to reply to me?'' I asked once again.

 ''I don't really know what you're asking'' Sam replies almost shivering from the nervousness I was causing him. Or maybe not quite like that, but that was how I wanted him to be. I was here to scare him away and I hope he was shaking. 

''I saw how you touched him before the kiss; you're not after a relationship. You're just after a good fuck, or am I wrong?'' I was now getting closer to the guy's face as he stood up. He was almost as tall as me, but he was not close to having my body type, he was much smaller. 

''Brett, what's going on'' one of my friend's said from behind me. I turned around to see my other friends walking towards us, wondering what was going on.

''Sorry, but this is not worth it'' Sam said before he grabbed his jacket and left. I guess he couldn't handle a bunch of masculine and tall guys interrogate him.

''Wow, thanks a lot'' Noah said before he got up ready to leave. What's up with him now?

I turned around from looking at Sam walking away and now towards Noah. ''Noah wait, I just got you out of something that could be a painful experience!'' 

Noah turned around ''how would I ever get to know for sure when you don't even give me the chance?'' I heard the irritation in Noah's voice. 

''Sorry, I thought I did you a favor. I thought I was protecting you'' Noah was almost shaking from his irritation 

''No, you were doing yourself a favor, and I'm not Elliot, I don't need your protection!'' he started walking again and I continued to follow him. My friends seemed confused about what I was doing. I can't really blame them. I had told them that I had a new roomie who was a friend of my little brother, but they didn't know that Noah was my roomie. Besides, they probably don't know why I act like this towards him. I'm starting to get confused about why I'm acting like this now also. 

I took hold of Noah's arm ''Hey, why are you getting so upset about this?'' I asked with annoyance and frustration in my voice. 

''Because you get to hook-up with as many girls as you like without me stopping you, but as soon as I find one guy, you come barging in and ruin it!'' I saw Noah's eyes watering. Starting to feel bad, I tried to comfort Noah by putting my hands on Noah's shoulders. 

''I wasn't aware that you felt this way about it''. Noah shook both of my hands off his shoulder and pushed me backward.

''Well I do, but now I'm sick and tired. I'll find somewhere else to live'' Noah said before he left the conversation. I didn't follow ''Noah, don't be ridiculous. We'll talk about this later''. Noah turned around for a second, holding up his middle finger ''Fuck you, Brett!'' he said before he turned back around and continued to walk away. 

I was shocked and wasn't sure if I should follow Noah or if I should give him some space. I remembered the frustration Noah had just shown and decided to give Noah some space and go back to playing basketball with my friends, who were clearly confused and just waited for me to come back and play.

At the basketball court, I played a crappy game. I couldn't get the conversation with Noah out of my head. I started to stress about the whole moving thing Noah said and didn't notice that my friends were calling for me until one came and put his hand on my shoulder ''bro, are you ok? We're going to eat, you should join us'' I decided it was a good time to fill up his energy with some food now that I was getting really hungry after the basketball matches and the fight with Noah. Not sure what the future had in store for us...
