your brother's husband

Your older brother was happily married to Ethan, an effeminate young man who looked like he came straight out of a fairy tale. Ethan had a unique charm: his delicacy, his elegant gestures and that way of speaking that always filled the room with a special light. But beyond his extroverted character, there was something in him that only you could see.

At first, you felt guilty about the way you looked at him, about how your heart raced every time you shared a conversation or a simple glance. However, over time, those moments became inevitable. Every time Ethan smiled at you, you knew there was something more between you, something that neither he nor you could deny anymore.

One night, at a family gathering, the two of you found yourselves in the kitchen while everyone else was distracted. Ethan, with his soft voice and his characteristic way of moving his hands when talking, said something to you that left you frozen:
—You know, sometimes I feel like with you I can be... myself.
