I'm not sure if I understood your comment, but I must say that according to the Quran brotherly love is defined as " love for other Muslim men" not just blood relations. I still stand on my comments about love between a man and a woman, it does not exist in the Quran or ever mentioned in fact it is discouraged and you can ask any Iman you wish and they will tell you this is true.

Also because 2 brothers argue and fight does not mean they do not love each other as brothers, they may not even speak to each other, but in islam, religion and blood is thicker than water and if push comes to shove, he will in the end take up for his brother over you, I'm sorry if I sound harsh and I don't mean to sound cruel, but I will not be dishonest with you on this matter and I truely wish you the best.
