Summary: I can't believe I've never noticed it before…

I can't believe I've never noticed it before…

That look of longing that he sends towards my brother when he doesn't think anyone is watching. A longing so intense, I can feel the butterflies fluttering in my own stomach on his behalf.

I've spent the last hour and a half watching my brother, for any sign that he's aware of Ian's feelings. Or if there's any chance he may return them. I've noticed nothing…

Until now.

A shy glance beneath lowered eyes. Almost dropping his board marker when Ian nearly catches him watching. A faint blush on his cheeks when Ian asks him if he's okay.

Who would have thought? The Sniper and the Mathematician?

Maybe I can find a way to bring them together?
