A/N: All five chapters are fairly short and could probably compile into a relatively short one-shot but I decided to post them separately to make the story flow better day-to-day. This was written as a personal challenge to see if I could write an entire romance themed story from an outside perspective. Let me know how you like it. I contemplated labeling this as an E/Em story as Friendship and Humor but decided more people would read it posted like this.

Chapter 5:

Saturday 11:30am Living Room

"Yo, Eddy, can I use your laptop? I want to look something up real fast but I don't want to move and yours is right here," I yell from the couch, not wanting to go to my room just for a simple google search. Edward is in the kitchen helping Esme prepare lunch.

"Sure," he hollers back.

"I need your password!"

"Uh….coming! I'll be right there." I can hear his footsteps approaching and he appears from the other room with a towel in his hands. He sits down next to me and puts his laptop in his lap, opening the cover and clicking on his user name. The little password box appears and his hands still over the keys. I look away, assuming that's why he's waiting, only to look back when he exhales and audibly swallows. He's visually shaken, obviously fighting some internal debate with himself.

He looks over at me and stares for a few seconds before nodding and returning his gaze back to the keyboard. My eyes follow his and I watch him type out six simple letters: J-a-s-p-e-r. His pinky presses the "enter" key and he continues to stare at his lap, most likely terrified at what he just reviled to me. He swallows again before he looks at my face, eyes wide and uncertain.

He likes Jasper. He likes Jasper! Oh my God, he likes Jasper! I grin at him and I find myself nodding; about what, I'm not entirely sure. I know I need to say something to reassure him that I'm okay with it but I also know I can't tell Jasper's secret, It's not mine to share. "It's okay," I whisper. For some reason it doesn't feel right to talk at full volume right now. "I won't tell him if you don't want me to. I still love ya, kay?" I give him a side-arm hug before taking the laptop and clicking on the Internet.

He doesn't say anything back but I can tell he's more relaxed. He heads back into the kitchen and I can hear the distant sound of conversation between him and Esme start back up. Peeking over my shoulder to make sure the coast is clear I take out my phone and text Jasper: Hey. You want to come over for dinner tonight? Hang out and play some CoD?-Em

His response is quick: Sure, what time should I be there? -Jazz

Six? -Em

Sweet. See ya then, muther fuckur! -Jazz

I chuckle as I put away my phone. Now to figure out how to tell Edward he's coming over. There's no way I can make it look like a coincidence. And I don't want Edward to feel uncomfortable but I really want something to happen between them. It took me most of the week to get comfortable with the idea but now that I've thought it over, I really think they'll be great together. And I mean, how cool would it be to go on double dates with your best friend: me and his sister and him and my brother? Totally wicked, right?

JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE

After lunch I go up to Edward's room and ask him if he has a minute to talk. He invites me in, sets down the book he's been reading, and we sit facing each other on his bed. I made sure to shut the door before I sat down so Esme didn't hear anything. I decide to bring up the subject of Jasper before I tell Eddy he's coming over. "So, the guy you like is Jasper, huh?"

He nods yes and asks, "Is that okay? I know he's your best friend so that's probably really weird for you."

Again, I find myself smiling without thinking about it. "It's not weird," I tell him. "You can't really help who you like. Besides, I think it would be awesome if you and Jazz got together. I wouldn't have to be worried that he would treat you right because I know he would. That, and maybe someday you could get married and then he'd be my brother for real."

Edward's eyes get huge and he makes a choking sound in his throat, "Just because I like him doesn't mean we're going to get married Em. Fuck, I don't even think he likes me. Let's not talk about marriage and babies prematurely, okay?"

My grin widens. "Nobody said anything about babies Eddy. So you've thought about it then, huh? Little baby Edwards and Jaspers? Running around the yard with their blond hair and big green eyes? Huh?"

His cheeks keep getting redder and redder the more I tease him but I can't help it, he makes it too easy. I can't resist adding, "Besides, how do you know he doesn't like you?" I wiggle my eyebrows at him and wink.

Again, he sputters and looks at me with wide eyes. "What aren't you telling me?" he demands.

I smile at him and bring my thumb and forefinger to my lips making a zipping motion across them. My lips are sealed.
The next thing I know, Edward has pounced on me and is tickling my armpits. I can't stop laughing. I gasp out, "St…stop. Haha…stop. Edward!"

"Not until you tell me what you know!"

"Fi…Fine! Okay…Stop…I'll tell you!" Edward releases me and we both sit up panting. I lean against his head board trying to catch my breath while he lays out on his bed, head turned toward me with an impatient look on his face, one eyebrow raised in a silent question. "Uh, you can't tell him I told you this, kay?"

Again with the head nodding.

I guess I don't have much of a choice now, "He likes you. He likes you so much he won't shut up about it. Okay? And he's coming over here this afternoon to hang out. You're more than welcome to join us. And before you ask, no, he doesn't know you like him back. Happy?"

But I needn't have asked because the shit-eating grin on Edward's face was answer enough. He bounced up and launched himself at me. But this time he just gave me a hug before backing off again. We talked a bit more about how Edward was suddenly nervous to spend time with Jasper. I tried to reassure him as best I could but I'm not great with relationship advice. Eventually I went back to my room to finish my homework before Jazz gets here.

JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE+JE

A few hours later the doorbell rings and I head down to answer it. I meet Edward on the stairs. He is wearing a pair of tight black jeans and a green v-neck shirt that's probably a size too small. I quirk my eyebrow at him and smirk. The little fucker got dressed up to see his crush. I grin.

"Not. One. Word," Edward glares at me. I put on an innocent look and tilt my head to the side, which only makes him narrow his eyes even farther. I just laugh and continue to the door. I open it and once again try to stifle my laughter. Jasper has obviously dressed up as well. He's wearing a nice pair of jeans and a button up blue shirt. He even has his cowboy boots on. Talk about laying it on thick.

I hear Edward stumble behind me. When I turn to look, he's flat on his ass at the bottom of the stairs. Fucker must have missed a step, focused as he was on my best friend. Speaking of best friends, Jasper runs forward to help Edward to his feet and I hear him ask, "You okay Eddy?" Edward seems to have lost his voice and his face is all red. Poor fucker. He nods and lets go of Jasper's hand once he's back on his feet.

Deciding to be helpful and break the tension I shout, "Whose ready to get their ass beat in Modern Warfare?"

"Language Emmett!" comes a shout from upstairs.

"Sorry Esme!" I shout back.

Jasper and Edward are laughing at me as we head into the living room to start up the Xbox. I pass out the controllers and sit down in the recliner, leaving the couch for the two lovebirds. Jazz sits down in the middle and Edward sits next to him, cheeks still slightly red.

We play for a while until dinner is ready. When it is, we eat some sort of fish dish while Esme and Carlisle ask Jasper how he's been. He fits in so well here, part of the family really. I watch Jasper and Edward as much as I can. The only thing I notice is that Edward seems to be blushing a bit more than usual tonight.

When dinner's done Carlisle heads upstairs to take a shower and unwind after work while I help Esme clear the dishes. Eddy and Jasper disappear into the living room and I assume they are playing CoD again.

Esme and I don't talk much as we put away the leftovers in the fridge and wash the dishes. When we do talk it's about meaningless things-just polite conversation. Apparently she doesn't feel the need to ask any more personal questions. After we're done, we head out of the kitchen together, her going upstairs and me to the living room. Neither of us make it that far.

As we head around the corner we spot Edward and Jasper sitting on the couch with their lips locked. Jasper's hand is in my brother's hair and Edward's arms are around his shoulders, pulling him closer. Esme squeaks beside me, literally standing mid-step toward the stairs with her head glued to the scene on the couch.

I stifle a giggle as I pull her arm and disappear back around the corner, hiding us from view. Inside I want to scream and shout and applaud because my brother and my best friend are making out not ten feet away. But I'm a little concerned. Until this moment I didn't even think about what Esme and Carlisle might say. What if they don't love him anymore? They're not our real parents so they aren't required to love us if we do something wrong. Not that loving a boy is wrong, but they might think it is. I'm in full on panic mode as I look over to Esme, fearing the worst.

Her eyes are wide open and her lips are still parted in shock. But before I get the chance to ask her how she feels, she collects herself and looks at me, a small smile on her face as she whispers, "Well, I guess I figured out who Jasper likes." Her smile widens and I know it's going to be okay.

"Yeah, uh. I just didn't want to tell you until I knew if Eddy liked him back. I didn't know how you would take it." I'm still unsure and she can hear the unspoken question in my voice.

Again, she smiles at me. "I think it's wonderful honey. It's about time Edward found someone. Does that mean Edward's gay?"

This time it's my turn to smile. She's not mad at anybody. In fact, she seams happy. "No mom, he's not gay. He's pansexual. I don't really know how to describe it but I'm sure Eddy will talk to you if you ask him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a make out session I need to go interrupt." I wink at her and start to laugh loudly, announcing my presence before I walk around the corner again.

I hear Esme walk out behind me but she keeps her eyes forward and continues up the stairs, leaving me to take care of the two horny teenagers on her couch. Jasper and Edward are still facing each other but they aren't kissing anymore. Eddy's face is bright red again and Jasper is breathing heavily. I smirk as I walk towards them.

"Hey fuckers," I greet them. I contemplate being a cock block and squeezing in between them. But, I decide that if it were Rose and me, I'd want a little time alone. So, instead I make up a lie to give them some space, "I just remembered I have a paper due on Monday that I haven't started. I really need to work on it. Is it okay if I ditch you two down here and disappear into my room for a bit?"

Jasper looks and me and winks before nodding his head. The fucker knows I don't have any paper due. But he also knows why I'm lying. "See ya later, dipshit," he jokes as he takes Eddy's hand and squeezes it, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

I look back one more time on my way up the stairs in time to see my brother lean forward, planting his lips on Jasper. Chuckling, I head to my room and pull out my phone. I think I might need a little distraction for the next few hours. It's been a while since Rose and I have had phone sex. I wonder if she's up for it. Besides, I don't want to wait for our date tomorrow to hear her sexy voice.

A/N: A big thank you to everyone that reviewed this story. I almost decided to have Emmett look at Edward's porn once he got the password but I decided against it. Maybe I'll write a couple drabbles as an out take so we can see what he thinks.

Let me know how you liked the ending. You guys all rock for being such loyal readers!
