My brother has this friend, Chris, who is his oldest and best friend. They’ve been buddies from back when they first started school. As a result, our families are also very close friends. Chris and I always got along fine. When we were younger, he seemed like a sweet kid and I was happy that my brother had a good friend. As we got older, we would chat whenever we found ourselves in the same room and every now and then we would text. Just friendly stuff, nothing intense.
Anyway, 3 years ago, I went through a life changing event. I was involved in an accident of sorts which left me with permanent injuries. I now have chronic back and leg pains and sometimes I simply cannot get up a flight of stairs or take another step without wanting to cry. Sometimes I have problems standing up when I’ve been sitting for a while.
After this happened, Chris became really protective of me and started doting on me as much as he could. If he sees me struggling to walk, he’ll drop whatever he’s doing and come over to help me. On a couple of occasions, he’s carried me to where I wanted to go when I was just in too much pain to be on my feet. He has offered to pick me up from places late at night, because he was worried about me traveling alone. The medication I’m on is horrible on my stomach and whenever there’s food being served, Chris will always come over and ask me if I’ve eaten as yet, to make sure I’m not skipping meals.
I honestly think he’s incredible sweet and the way he treats me and cares for me just makes me wish we were a couple (he’s single). But I’m so scared of actually doing anything here. I don’t know if he feels the same way about me. Am I a massive ass for wanting to date my brothers best friend? How do I even tell my brother about this? What if I mess it up and we end up breaking up, causing my brother to possibly lose the best friend he’s ever had?
TL;DR I’m in love with my brothers best friend and I don’t know how to handle this without making things weird with my brother.
