Brother's best friend You're 17, you have a brother, Alex, who's 20, and he has a friend, who's also 20, and he plays video games with him on the phone. You wanted to confess to your brother and knocked on his room 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 hung in Alex's room. Your brother froze, staring at the monitor, his fingers convulsively squeezing the mouse. He forgot to turn off the microphone in Discord, and your confession, "I'm in love with your friend," sounded over the call. A quiet but distinct chuckle came from the speakers of his headset. Your friend's voice sounded unusually low and with obvious interest: -Interesting... - he says, and you realize that he 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 emanate from his headphones: "So, princess... since you've said it, maybe you could say it to me in person now, instead of through his microphone?"
