Lucas Brook
This time with Quincy had certainly proven to be.....quite something. Not only had the time given Lucas a sort of one-to-one session in basketball to help him get better, but it also served as a time of reflection which proved as useful as the training session himself. When work was completed at college, the teacher usually gives the opportunity to evaluate your work, to give personal thoughts on how the assignment went, if there was anything you would change, anything you would remain the same, how and why and all that jazz. It was the same thought process that was going on and on in Lucas' mind, realising that he too seemed to be unfair towards him as the guys on the basketball team were and it wasn't fair, all because he was gay.
Afterall, he had learnt ever since the whole sleeping in the same bed thing and even here and now, that if Quincy did feel for him then he would of made a move already, especially the times their house was empty but the fact remained that they were brothers now. As far as the basketball guys go, Lucas didn't believe that Quincy has made a move on them either as why would they 'risk' him participating in their last game which essentially saved the day. In his opinion, Quincy seemed to have a talent at this sort of stuff and therefore should keep at it since he's not even missed the basket once which is really impressive, does not the Wileby Basketball Team want to reach for the stars? because if they do, they need Quincy in it.
Lucas always wondered what life would be like with a big brother but wasn't so keen on the idea and he was right to be so he felt, seeing that Quincy would no doubt get the most when father passes. He hated being so morbid but after losing his mother, he takes quite a few things in perspective like spending the time he has wisely which is another reason why he equals things out and why he wished to make amends with his brother now. Quincy didn't have to do all this as he could of just ignored him on the bench or took him home but he didn't. Just then, he then felt a tug from behind as his eyes looked down and saw Quincy's hands around him, before hearing him say, "It's alright... We were the ones that imposed ourselves on you. I'm happy you actually like me now" and he could tell from the way he sounded. All this worry for nothing when all Quincy really wanted was acceptance, to be a good brother not anything else.
As for happy you actually like me now, Lucas wasn't really sure what to say about that. This whole bonding thing he decided to do was to get things straight, literally straight, in his head so he wasn't quite sure how much he liked him. One side of him was saying how nice he is and what an awesome brother he had, while the other side was commenting on how much love he has for him to try and make him nervous again but Lucas ignored it as Quincy then pulled away and not feeling so warm anymore. Now that he did that, not that he was complaining, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep up with the game, afterall, Quincy had just finished a game then ran back here to play with him. He doubted Quincy would be tired out with the energy he has but he wasn't Quincy.
Putting the ball under his arm, he then turned around and walked towards Quincy as he saw him smile. "Your not supposed to agree with me....you either should of said 'no you've been a jackass' or 'no you've not been a total jerk'....seems you need some lessons bro", he said with a cheeky smile before throwing the ball to him, "Here...think that'll do for us today, until next time", as he walked to his bag, folded his jumper and tie which he then put into his bag before putting his bag around his shoulder. Yes, there would be a nice time.
"Coming?" as he motioned his head towards the exit as he then opened the door for him and said as Quincy approached, "I meant what I said you know...you should be on the team. I know your....." opting not to say the word, "..but you need to stand up for yourself, okay. If they ask again, don't be taken advantage of and play for them, your the one holding the cards so you should say that you'd do it if you can stay on the team. If they do not accept, then everyone can see what a bunch of losers they are", ending with a smile before walking with Quincy. Lucas may be unsure about a few things with Quincy but he was his brother. The whole job of the big brother stuff was to look after the younger but it seemed to be the other way round at the moment....not that he was complaining of course.
