I forced my way through the throng of teenagers having wild fun in the bar, scanning the overcrowded pub for the only face that mattered to me at that moment.
“Hey handsome, you wanna watch me dance?”one busty blonde said as she tried to pull me towards her. I made a quick turn and almost escaped her grip when I heard a familiar voice “Oh Angel, don’t waste your time on this one. Kyle here is only interested in underage boys,” said Ryan, my stepbrother, and nemesis.
“Are you for real? He’s gay? Isn’t it a crime to be this handsome and be interested in guys?” the blonde questioned. Ryan smiled mischievously.
“It’s such a waste, right? It’s bad enough to be gay but claiming to be in love with my little brother is crazy. I bet it sucks to be you right now.”Ryan said. I rolled my eyes mentally and was about to take a step forward when I saw him.
Nick, Ryan’s younger brother, my love- my 17-year-old stepbrother. I know you
probably think it’s wrong to be gay or to be in love with my stepbrother but this is who I am and the heart wants who it wants.

Nick was surrounded by semi-naked girls who were busy touching every part of his body, his eyes were closed but I could see that he wasn’t enjoying what they were doing. He opened his eyes as if he could sense my presence.
“Kyle? Is that you?” Nick asked with a smile. I moved closer to him and realized he was drunk. I shoved the girls aside and helped him up, then I led him out of the bar.
“Kyle, are you angry that I couldn’t convince my dad to accept us and let us be together?” Ryan asked the moment we got into my car.
“No, I’m not, Nick. My mom is also not happy about us being together but she knows I’m an adult and I can make my own decisions.”I said calmly.
“I shouldn’t have insisted on telling them. We should have kept it from them.” Nick shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
“We did the right thing by telling them,”I told him “Dad was really angry, he said he doesn’t want to see us together. I couldn’t handle it, that was why I came to the bar with Ryan.”
He looked sad. “Everyone seems to think we’re not normal, that what we’re doing is wrong. “
“Nick, we’re normal like every other person, we’re just different in a special way. We can’t change who we are.” I held his hands in mine and looked into his eyes. “As long as we love each other, we’ll be fine.” Nick smiled shyly as I traced my finger up his arm. I leaned closer to kiss him, and the moment our lips met, I became lost in the moment, all worries forgotten, nothing else mattered.
As long as we love each other, we can overcome any form of challenge that comes our way. I love my stepbrother and I’m ready to go through it all with him by my side.
