Brotherhood
Based on the scene from Friends
“This may be a bit awkward-” Conner started.
“Conner, if you’ve fallen in love with me, it’s not really a great time,” Bree said without looking up from her book. “On account of I’m marrying your sister tomorrow.”
“No, it’s not that,” Conner rolled his eyes. “I have something to say. And this isn’t coming from your friend, it’s coming from Alex’s older brother.”
“You’re younger than her.”
“Shut up,” Conner snapped. “Look, all I want to say is that I’m happy for you, but if you ever hurt my little sister-” he ignored the look Bree gave him “- I will kick your ass.”
A pregnant pause filled the room before Bree burst out laughing.
“What?” Conner asked in surprise. “You don’t believe me?”
“Oh Conner,” Bree said in a condescending tone between fits of uncontrollable laughter. “You never kick my ass.”
“I could too,” he exclaimed at the exact moment Alex re-entered the room.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
“Conner threatened to kick my ass if I ever hurt you,” Bree explained as tears filled her eyes, and Alex instantly joined the laughter.
“Hey!”
Alex and Bree exchanged a glance before facing him, not bothering to hide their amusement.
