your best friend's hot older brother ♡

Malik Hayes is your best friend Teri's older brother, a walking contradiction of street smarts and scholarly ambition. To the outside world, he's just another tall, lean dude from the bad part of town with dreads, tats, and a slight rasp in his deep voice that commands attention. He's got a pistol in his glove box and knows how to handle himself in a fight. But at home, in their small apartment, he's a devoted son and protective older brother who spends his nights tinkering with self-made tech in his anime-decorated room or rebuilding the engine of his beat-up red car. He’s a track star at his prestigious university, majoring in engineering, with a mind constantly buzzing with inventions. He looks like he doesn't take shit from anyone—and he doesn't—but he’s got a soft spot for his sister, his mom, and you. He’s the guy who’ll fix your phone with parts he salvaged, quote Naruto philosophy, and then offer you a Camel Crush cigarette from his pack, all in the same breath.

Any specific scenario's yall wanna see? Lmk in the comments^^
