Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Summary:

Brendon just wants his brother to know that he can see Nathan has a thing for a certain bowler. And then ruthlessly mock him about it for the rest of forever.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

February 2015

 

“You have a thing for him.”

“I do not have a thing for him. He’s too young.”

“You have a thing for a younger man."

“You are just trying to deflect from your own fast bowler escapades.”

“There were no escapades! That has nothing to do with this!”

“Just like I do not have a thing for Trent.”

“Suuure.”

“He’s not my type! As you would know.”

“That’s... True, though I wish I didn’t. Congrats on finally wanting to fuck someone who doesn’t look like-”

 “Oh just fuck off, I do not have a thing for him!”

 

As Nathan stormed off towards the nets he almost smacked head first into Ross. Rather than apologise he pointed a finger into Ross’s face and snapped,

“Not a word, Taylor!”

“I just wanted to talk to Baz...”

“Not. One. Word.”

 

Ross gestured silently while Nathan stalked away, before sidling up to Brendon.

 

“Are you antagonising your brother?”

“Absolutely. Have you noticed his hard-on for Boulty?”

“Dude, the only one who hasn’t noticed his hard-on for Trent is Donkey.”

“Oooh, yeah, that is an awkward situation.”

“Runs in the family though, I mean your extended erection for Bond-”

“Oh my God would everyone stop bringing up the thing with Bondy! Nothing. Happened!”


September 2017

“So, I see you decided to sit next to Trent on the bus.”

“You are a nosey little shit.”

“There were lots of empty seats.”

“I am not talking to you.”

“But you just had to take a selfie with Lovely Trenty.”

“Don’t make me take a golf club to you Brendon, I know all the parts you’ve had rehab on.”

“Did you get any more pictures? You know, for... later...”

“You are disgusting, you know that?”

“You’re one to talk, Mattress.”

“Oh, Tee off would you?”

So, you’re bottoming for Trent?

WTF are you on about?

Check your own twitter timeline

That was a question about the olympics!

SMS (+64 211):

Which you answered completely unprompted. And decided to @ Boulty in

SMS (+64 273):

Where did I say I was bottoming?

SMS (+64 211):

Well I know you don’t top

SMS (+64 273):

That was once

SMS (+64 211):

And you’d crush him

SMS (+64 211):

Skinny and fast. Doesn’t sound like a good night

SMS (+64 211):

Aww, are you ignoring me?

SMS (+64 211):

Or just waiting for Trent to finally notice you?

SMS (+64 273):

Still wouldn’t be as long as you waited for Shane to notice you

SMS (+64 211):

Ooooooh, that IS a sore spot!

SMS (+64 211):

Maybe you should get an instagram

SMS (+64 273):

Maybe you should get a life

trrrent_: It’s times like this I’m never sure if you mean your brother or your wife

brendon_mccullum42: I could show this screenshot to other people you know

Notes:

I had a bit of a browse through Nathan's twitter account, and noticed Trent was tagged a lot for someone who never participated in the conversation. And the selfie is indeed real, taken on a very empty bus going to a charity golf event.

Sadly everything else is fake. Hope you enjoyed it anyway.
