My Best Friend's Little Brother Chapter 4: Always Kinda In Love No matter how late I stay up, I always wake up early. My job on the assembly line starts at 6am, so that means I usually wake up around 4:30 to get ready and get there on time. So, I found myself waking up early even after my late night with Noah. I woke up and checked the clock, 6:15am, which classifies as sleeping-in in my book. I tried to listen to see if I could hear anybody up and about, but I didn't hear anything, guess I was the first one up. I laid in bed and thought about the events of yesterday. My feelings for Noah were overwhelming. I worried that we may have taken things too quickly last night. I wanted this to last, to turn into something real, something lasting, and I know Noah felt the same. I heard someone go downstairs, probably Tanner. Finally I could go downstairs and get coffee. I found Tanner in the kitchen pouring coffee. "Hey, buddy" I said quietly so as not to wake anyone. "Good morning," Tanner said as he turned around from the coffee pot. "Surprised you're up so early" "Why?" I replied defensively. "Well I heard you come upstairs pretty late last night." "Ohh.. yeah... Noah and I went a little overboard last night....with the Madden" I said nervously. "You can tell him no, ya know, that boy will play video games til the sun comes up" Tanner said with a laugh. The truth was I don't think I would ever be able to tell Noah no, video games or otherwise. "Yeah, but it was fun. Reminded me of the days we used to stay up late. I miss those days." I said as I grabbed a coffee mug from the cabinet. Now we never got crazy like Noah and I did last night, but Tanner and I did spend many late nights together playing video games, talking sports, listening to our favorite songs, and just enjoying each other's company. I missed it. He was my closest friend from the moment we met in elementary school. When he moved away it was like a piece of me was missing. "I know. I miss those times too." Tanner said with a sad smile. Tanner and I got our coffee, went to the couch, and talked while we waited for the world to wake up. Soon enough Emma came downstairs with twins. Emma went to the kitchen to start on breakfast, and I decided to help her, as Tanner stayed in the living room with the twins watching Bluey. I say help, but I really just stood around drinking coffee and talking with Emma as she made bacon and eggs. Growing up, whenever Tanner got a girlfriend I would get jealous of them. I wished it was me he would date. Emma was no different at first. I hoped Emma would be the last girl Tanner dated before he finally realized he was at least a little gay and started dating me. Turns out she was the last girl he dated, because he married her! They've been together for nine years, and in that time Emma and I have become good friends. We have a lot in common, both of us claim Singing in the Rain as our favorite movie and Gilmore Girls as our favorite show. Which is funny because Tanner hates both. And of course we both love Tanner. If he had to end up with anyone other than me, I was glad Tanner ended up with Emma. "Do you mind waking up Noah and telling him breakfast is ready?" Emma said to me as she started to make up plates. "Yeah, no problem" I went downstairs and found Noah sleeping peacefully all wrapped up in that same blanket we shared last night. I thought of all the ways, dirty or otherwise, I could wake him, but decided to just gently shake his shoulders and whisper his name. There'll be time for games later. "Huhhhhhh" Noah said half asleep as he turned to look at me with one eye still closed. "Breakfast is ready." I whispered with a smile. Noah beamed a smile as he realized it was me who woke him. He quickly ripped off the blanket, got to his feet, and threw his arms around my neck. He still smelled like last night. "Good morning, Stephen" Noah said as our eyes met and longed for each other. "Good morning, Noah" Noah got on his tip toes and gave me a kiss. I didn't want to, but I broke away quickly. "What's wrong" Noah said as he removed his arms from my shoulders. "We have to go upstairs" "I know, but can't we play around a little bit first?" "Trust me. I want to. But there are four people upstairs that could come down here at any second and catch us. And you only have underwear on." I said pointing to his tented black boxer briefs. "So?..." Noah said as he spun around showing off his body, "you love it!" It was true. He looked so good. His small and tan body in just tight boxer briefs with his little tent was enough to drive me crazy. I somehow resisted, well at least as best as I could. I grabbed his bubble butt with my right hand and pulled him close to me. "Get dressed and come upstairs," I said and gave him the quickest peck on the lips. "And maybe spray some axe or something on yourself. You smell like sex." I finished as I pulled away from him and went upstairs. The rest of the morning carried on. After breakfast everyone took their turns showering or keeping the twins entertained. When everyone was ready for the day we all went to the park down the street so the twins could play on the playground. Through it all Noah and I tried to hide the fact that we were falling for each other, only stealing gazes at each other when we were certain Emma and Tanner were preoccupied with the twins. After the park it was time for Tanner and I to go to lunch. I knew it was going to be difficult for Noah to not be included, but Tanner and I always get lunch at a different local brewery every time I came to town. It's something I always look forward to. "Why can't I come?" Noah said as we were about to leave. "I'm sure you annoyed Stephen enough yesterday," Tanner said with a laugh. Noah and I knew that wasn't true. "Besides you need to spend more time with the twins" I could see how much it hurt Noah to be excluded. He looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, begging me to save him. "We won't be gone too long" is all I could say. As much as I wanted to spend every second with him, I also cherish the alone time I get with Tanner. It's near impossible to come by the older we get. "Fine." Noah said as he angrily walked away. The brewery we chose this year was located in an old Catholic Church, which I found ironic after what Noah and I did last night. They had a couple food trucks there, we grabbed some food and each ordered a flight of beers. As we talked over our beers and food, I was reminded why I was always kinda in love with Tanner. He had a thing about him that always made me feel like I was the most important person in the world whenever we were alone together. I don't know what it is, it's hard to describe. Plus, just like Noah, he is very attractive. His blonde hair that he had is now darker and a little thinner but still looks good kept short and slicked back. He has the same beautiful smile as Noah, the same piercing blue eyes. He has the definition of a dad bod, and it works for him. He's about my height. All and all, I'd say he has aged like a fine wine. "Noah really seems to like you." Tanner said during a lull in conversation. "Yeah, he's funny. I like him too." I said, glad Tanner didn't know how much I really liked him. "Our mom always calls him my mini me, so it makes sense you two get along so well. You can relive our boyhood sleepover days with him now that I'm too old to" Tanner said with a laugh. I laughed too, but didn't respond. I missed those days more than Tanner could know. From middle school to high school we had many sleepovers, at least one a month. We usually alternated between my house and his house. I much preferred his house, for only one reason. His dirty clothes. When he would fall asleep I would find his dirty laundry basket in his closet and smell his scent on them. I was so turned on by it, and I really didn't understand why at the time. I preferred his dirty socks and dirty underwear. Both sent me into ecstasy. I remember one night in 9th grade I stripped naked and put on one of his dirty hoodies. I put one of his dirty socks over my dick and with my other hand held another one of his dirty socks to my nose. I came in no time. I ruined his sock with the biggest load I had ever shot. I ended up taking both of the socks home with me, and used them both until they were stiff. But it wasn't just being a perv that made me miss those days, I genuinely missed spending time with Tanner, doing nothing, as only best friends could. "You should stay up late with Noah and I tonight, for old times sake" I finally responded, thinking how fun it would be just the three of us. "Maybe, but I doubt I'll have the energy after pickleball tonight. Maybe tomorrow night." Tanner said. I almost forgot about our plans to play pickleball. The idea of running around in the hot Maryland summer and getting sweaty with Noah was enough to get me hard. "You ready to get outta here?" I said to Tanner with a smile.
