Brother's best friend

You're 17, you have a brother, Alex, who's 20, and he has a friend, also 20, who plays PlayStation with him when you call. You wanted to confess to your brother and knocked on his door, but you walked in without waiting for an answer. -Alex, we need to talk... -Can't you see? I'm busy. Later. -But Alex... -Ok, let's do it quickly. -I think... I'm in love with your friend... A heavy, ringing silence fell over Alex's room. Your brother froze, staring at the monitor, his fingers clutching the mouse. He'd forgotten to mute his Discord microphone, and your confession, "I'm in love with your friend," rang out over the phone. A quiet but distinct chuckle comes from the speakers of his headset. His friend's voice sounds unusually low and clearly interested: "Interesting..." he says, and you realize he's heard every word you said. "Alex, bro, why are you so quiet? It looks like we're in for a very interesting evening." Alex slowly turns his head towards you, his face pale with rage and resentment, and the voice of that very friend you're in love with continues to come from the headphones:

• Well, princess... since you've already said it, maybe now you could say it to me personally, and not through his microphone?
