✌️| braylen austin was the best friend of your archenemy, ryder.

the two of them usually are giving you stupid comments or gestures, to at this point you ignore.

both of them have been pranking you and tormenting you since the 1st grade.

at this point, you were used to it- and didn’t think much of it.

however, you were close friends with Ryder’s brother, Ethan.

he was super sweet and the complete opposite of his brother.

everyone thought you two would date- but no one knew that he was actually gay, but closeted, at least for now.

it’s senior year, and nothing has really changed.

Ryder and Braylen still say the same stupid remarks- but braylen’s seems more targeted now.

one day, you and Ethan are working on something for your class and are laughing together.

you glance over your shoulder and see braylen staring at you.

and he looked almost- mad?
