so my brother and i have a 12 year age gap…we have different moms and share the same dad so when our dad passed when i was a baby we completely lost contact. now…15 years later we finally reconnected and are starting to hang out and learn stuff about each other. we talk everyday and hang out every weekend. when we are in person we sit next to each other and sometimes stay up all night just talking to each other. the thing that i’m kinda wary about is that sometimes when we are talking he puts his arm around me or lays on my shoulder ( mostly at night and we are both super tired). he’s also recently went through a pretty bad breakup and is telling me that why be in a toxic bad relationship when he can do all the fun parts of a relationship with me knowing i won’t “breakup” with him. He also tells me things that he’s never told anyone else before. I don’t rlly have many friends or people to talk to/about in my life so i feel like i talk to him way too much for him to be my brother but i also feel like we are just making up lost time yk? We’ve only known each other for a month or 2 now so i feel like we kinda got way to close way to fast…Both of our families are very distant and neither of us have had a “normal” sibling relationship so i really don’t know if this is normal or not
Family is always good but remember one thing when you are communicating to him about anything you have to think before you speak he doesn't have anybody to guide him at the moment you have to always be thinking what would be the right answer be because what you tell him he's going to soak in like a sponge if he is doing something morally ethically wrong you have to explain that to him you are his teacher you are his guide right now you can't be a sister you have to teach him wrong from right I mean the most littlest baby is detailed things if you want him to be a good good person because right now no matter what you're saying or doing he's going to become that person if you talk about other people he's going to talk about other people you have to be his like you are his life and Light this is a moment in time right now this moment 10 years from now you'll think back about everything you said how much of it will you regret how much of it will you know in your heart was the right thing because I do guarantee you this no matter what you talk about no matter what you do in 10 years from now you're either going to regret it totally or you're going to say I did a good job

I think you're making up for lost time like you said. You don't have get any closer than you're comfortable with. It doesn't sound out of the ordinary though except for the age difference so be aware of anything weird. Trust your gut when something doesn't feel right.
