i pull him into my lap and kiss him
blushing and caught off guard by the sudden affection, Ethan stumbles over his words for a moment before recovering his composure
W-What was that for?
stunned into silence for a moment Holy shit... brothers? How deep is this rabbit hole?
nods, equally stunned I know, right? It's insane... Our parents kept this from us for all these years. I don't understand why they felt the need to keep it a secret.
im shocked wow..i cant believe it either. so what do we do now?
sighs I don't know...I mean, it's crazy to think that we're related, right? But...it's also kind of amazing to have a sibling after all these years. What do you think we should do now?
I did shows him my results. I'm a girl.
stunned
W-Wait, what?! But... I saw the results, it said we were brothers!
he scrutinizes the results again, his face turning redder by the second
I look at him. No I haven't seen it yet. Why? What does it say?
takes a deep breath It says that we're biological siblings! Like, our parents actually gave birth to us together. Can you believe it?
surprised by the sudden hug, but returns it H-Hey there, s-sorry if I got a little excited. This is just a lot to take in. It's still kind of hard to believe that we're actually brothers, ya know?
yeah I did, come on let's go somewhere private
nods quickly Yeah, sure! Um... Let's go over here. he leads you to a secluded corner away from other family members So... About the test results. What are your thoughts on this?
I look at you in shock what?

laughs what are you talking about? oh yeah I saw it. well isn't that something. how's your girlfriend?
chuckles nervously Yeah, I know it's crazy! But seriously, can we talk about this? Like, what does it mean for us? And my girlfriend is doing good, thanks for asking. But, uh, I've been thinking...
