Lucas Brook
When considering the relationship between brothers, there is quite a bond between the two as the elder brother watches out for the younger, but such is not always the case. If applying the yin and yang, there is good and there is bad, such is the same for relationships of this kind where the brothers stick together and look out for each other, while on the downside they are sometimes at each others' throats, competing against one another when girls are involved, especially when they are both torn between a girl or a girl is torn between them. The difference between sisters however, is that brothers don't play the silent treatment, they say exactly how they feel and if they must fight, fight with no prancing about.
Lucas and Quincy's relationship as brothers was more complicated by the mere fact that they were not exactly brothers even though they were. It was the same case with all step-brother relationships since they haven't grown in the same environment together, pretty much they have seperate lives and that now their paths cross now and then, doing the odd brotherly thing when a situation calls for it, mostly teasing was involved. As blood brothers, each knew they were related as they have endured the same things and they pretty much look similar and actually looked similar unlike the complicated relationships when it came to step-brothers where they looked like strangers, their presence in the home merely being seen as a tenant.
If relationships wasn't complicated already, the fact that they were not alike and if they got along, they had other people to consider who were not aware they were related by misjudging them as 'gay' which straight guys don't want to hear, especially when they have a girlfriend and having a nasty rumour go round. That was another thing about being at school, once something was found out that seemed 'big news', it would not take long till it was big news and people knew about it. Girls were the biggest gossips of course rather than the lads, lads would only do it if they wanted to wind someone up, as why spread rumours when they have perfectly good fists?
Anyhow, having Chel and having Quincy in his life had made Lucas feel pretty uncomfortable on both ends. He loved Chel but was worried that if he was caught being too close with Quincy, someone would attempt to ruin things between him and Chel. Afterall, Chel was beautiful, but in the end, he felt bad about having to distance himself with Quincy because of it, but times like this when they were just on their own, he believed he could make it up to him, and even if they didn't get a chance together at school, there was always time back at home. Time was the thing, seeing as he had set time aside for Chel before the plan went kaput, but now he felt that maybe he can set some time after school once a week that he and Quincy could be playing basketball together. Quincy seemed to like the idea as he thought he would, "That'd be so cool!" and it probably was about time too.
As he had told him, with all this practice, maybe his skills would rub off on him, but he wasn't really sure if basketball was his game but he'd give it a go. Quincy then told him how he played before, "but not all guys trust me... I decided to leave before half the members left instead", which was pretty sad, though thinking about it, maybe they were worried as he was when Quincy was going to share his bed with him, so he couldn't blame them in that regard. He could try and reassure them but Quincy still had the title of 'gay' in his mind, but maybe he could pick up the slack for him, maybe he could play basketball for him and share the winnings with him. He didn't know.
To be honest, he wasn't sure what to be as there was so many options open. Right now he was just doing the best as he can and aiming as high as he could in terms of grades so more doors were open, but he wasn't sure what to do when all this finished. Basketball was one thing as Quincy spoke about his form, but then his thought process about that stopped when Quincy was behind him and controlled his arms, being completely alone. The bedroom was obviously intimate but there were loads of people in the house, but here it was just the two of them with everyone leaving or just about to leave that it felt worser than that time. However, Lucas kept assuring himself that nothing would happen, they were brothers now and that Quincy was just helping him, nothing more.
It wasn't only Quincy he was concerned with but himself too, the second reason why he decided to spend more time with Quincy, so that he could confirm that Quincy was nothing more than a brother and that he was not interested in him. Lucas not only avoided him because he was gay, not only because he had entered his life and essentially took his place as the eldest, but that he had these terrible ideas in his mind that insinuated that he may have feelings for his step-brother which he kept denying and hoped to prove wrong through all this, such ideas that were now at the forefront of his mind with Quincy so close.
"Uh... Try this. And make sure your weight is centered", he explained. Lucas nodded to show he understood, unable to speak and focusing his mind on the basket and the red square above it, before letting the ball go when he was satisfied as he threw it into the air, his eyes peeled as he watched the ball and went straight through the basket. "Haha!...Get in!", he laughed as he jogged over to get the ball, before putting under his arm and jogging back over to Quincy with a wide smile now that the ball decided to behave itself, "High five!", he exclaimed before giving Quincy a high five.
Following that, he dribbled the ball, remembered the form that Quincy showed him and once again aimed and scored once again, "Brilliant! Your my lucky charm Quincy!", deciding against saying him having the magic touch, just cos, before re-collecting the ball to try again but this time he went further back and spoke as he bounced the ball up and down, his tone more serious since Quincy was the teacher again, "In some games I've watched, the guys have had to try and score from around here. Some miss, but some get it in. I can't remember if jumping is involved to help level it a bit, but can you do it? and maybe show me?", seeing as these sorts of shots were like the best kind as the opponents would all gather near the basket to stop you, so if you could score from near the middle with little to no opposition, then that's got to be cool!
