The Step Bro Situation (Situationship #1)

by Jesse H. Reign

Luke throws himself at me again, dragging a hand across my lower back and fisting a piece of my T-shirt

Interesting

“Family hug!” yells my dad, joining in with gusto, recognizing the cue to bounce

The amount of this behavior does have me cringing

He probably doesn’t even realize that’s pathetic.

Heyyyyy be nice

The wall between our rooms is paper thin. I can hear everything he does. Every. Single. Thing.

👀 Jordan

He’s naked except for a pair of sleeping shorts.

Sooo not naked then

We have to get along, but if he’s going to go around saying dumb shit like that in my presence, I can’t see myself being able to be around him for any length of time. I really can’t.

I have to admit I would feel the same if someone was bringing up group runs…. That’s unacceptable

“Your nipples are pierced.”

Noted

I know exactly what he means, but as my mom always says, if I was an animal, I’d be a cat; I’d be the kind of thing that likes to play with its food.

Noted

“Oh,” he nods sagely. His eyes are still on my chest and

Give me his pov 💵 now I want in his brain right now

“I guess we should probably talk about what happened at the wedding, huh?”

What? What happened!?

“Did I tell you to move?”

*freezes* excuse me?

but I feel like I’ve been hit with a stun gun. I can’t move.

ITS HAPPENING

“You’re one to talk. What’s with the gamer geek fetish?” She shakes her head and emits a throaty laugh. “The fuck if I know.”

Well love this

have I just spent the entire day talking the hottest girl I know up to the guy I want for myself?

So we are acknowledging we do want him?

“How’d I figure? I’ll tell you how I figure. I know my value, that’s how. And you’re not going to talk to her like that,” I point furiously back to where we’ve just been, “and talk to me the way you talk to me through the wall.”

I love how sure he is of himself!

I’m exhausted from impersonating myself.

Back straight, head held high. He didn’t pause and he didn’t look back.

Power move

POWER MOVE

“Did anyone ever tell you you don’t have to say every single thing you think out loud?” It sounds almost like something Sober Me would say. “Lots of people have tried. It’s not an accident I’m like this. I don’t want to hide who I am or how I feel. I want to be like this.” “You want to be soft? You want to have your emotions splayed all over your face, and when that’s not enough you want to go around telling everyone how you feel all the time?” “Yep.” “Seems fucking stupid to me.” “Spending your life scared shitless of admitting how you feel and getting hurt regardless doesn’t seem all that bright to me either.”

Cause I know what good feels like.”

*takes a lap*

Blue.”

Pet name! 🚨

“Dude sure likes using the word sphincter, huh?” I say.

Ill let it slide

“Remember what the sphincter guy said,”

No! I made one acception!

I smile and whisper, “This is it, Jess.” “Mmm?” “Right here, right now – this is what good feels like.”

🩷

“Um, I meant how is the whole of you, not your asshole specifically.”

🤣

Before he can say what he wants to say next, I say the last thing on Earth I expect to hear myself say. “I’ve barely even started taking care of you yet.”

🥹😵‍💫😵😵

This is my drug.

What do you think’s going to happen? We just live happily ever after? “Yeah. Pretty much, actually.” Well, fuck me sideways. That doesn’t even sound like the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

“Ooooh, he’s mine. How very Eric Northman of you,” drawls Trouble. “I love it.”

True blood reference!

sphincter

NO

second sphincter

STOP THIS

“How many times do I have to tell you, Jessie Lewis…I know what good feels like.”

Keep saying it till it sinks in!

“I did, but he couldn’t make it. Said something about using dark magic to manifest a three way with two straight dudes.”

Great character addition honestly

sphincters,

This is out of control
