Seth's mouth curved to the side. His brother was always so full of energy. He shouldn't bother trying to speak. But he tried anyways and failed.
It was a little embarrassing hearing his little brother read the note out loud. It was true that Seth received a good amount of love letters a week. He told his brother that before. And now Seth wondered what Nicolas thought of all that? Was he jealous? Seth shook his head. Probably wishful thinking Seth told himself.
Seth tried to pay attention to the road, but also steal glances at his brother at the same time. He watched as Nicolas drunk the water. How his smooth throat moved as the water flowed down. It was beautiful! He was jerked out of his brother induced trance. "Oh! Well, that's simple." His eyes shifted to the road then back to his brother's blue eyes then back to the road. "I tell them that I appreciate their feelings and that they are lovely young ladies. This next part always disappoints them. I tell them that even though they are lovely ladies, I am not the one for them. That I cannot return their feelings." Seth shrugs. "Most of them ask why I can't. I simply tell them it's because of our age and that I do not feel the same. Some of them apologize. Some of them get teary eye and run off." Seth stops at a red light, giving him time to drink in the sight of his brother. "I bet you have lots of pretty girls after you." Seth gives Nicolas a playful smile.
