Wow, that was a pretty crappy way to do that. I feel like he could have just rejected him without lying and trying to trick blondie, scum that he is. Weird waste of time.
I love this story, but I think it's really ironic that the last line is about discussing love when one of them still never says half of what they're thinking.
That was a very well done, emotional chapter. Especially for a story where pretty much everybody sucks and we were questioning what kind of thoughts he had for his brother.
The ending of this had absolutely nothing to do with the bulk of the story, let alone the beginning.
