My Brother's Best Friend

Cracking Knuckles

[Dylan's POV]

       Nikki has the most incredible smile and the most fantastic laugh. The moment we just shared was perfect. No, what's the word? Magical. It was magical. I just still couldn't believe that Tyler had seen it all. Of course he had. Why wouldn't he have?

       When I got back in to Tyler's room, I was bombarded with questions behind a closed door. What were you thinking, shes my sister? How long has this been going on? Have you tried anything on her? Shes younger than you bro, come on you're smarter than that right? And those are just a few of the annoying questions I had to answer.

       "I don't know. This is the very first time, Tyler. No! Of course I haven't tried anything on her! Dude, come on, she is a year younger than us. Chill." I replied to those not wanting to even think about the other ones.

       "Oh my gosh, Dylan! What were you thinking?!" Tyler asked me as he was running his fingers through his messy hair. I was guessing that it had been a rhetorical question because he continued talking.

       "How long have you had these feelings for, huh? Tell me!"

       "Um, uh. 2 years now I guess."

       "You mean to tell me that you have gone 2 years without mentioning to me that you kind of, sort of, like my sister?!"

       "Uh yeah. Kind of, sort of."

       "I can't believe you Dyl. I was hoping that you weren't gonna do that. I know she is pretty and all but ew man! Thats just gross, you're practically related." I just sat there in awe, cracking my knuckles. I always do that when I'm nervous.

       "Ty come on bro. Are you upset? It was just one kiss. I won't do it again if you don't want me to."

       "No. I-I never said that. I was just surprised bruh, that's all. You can be with her if you want to ok?"

       "Thanks man." I was so relieved. I was just hoping that Nikki was feeling the same way. Did she think that I was a freak now? Had I come on to strong? Either way, I was going to wait anxiously until later to see how she felt.
