Relationships
Zack
In Book 1, Zack Zilberg has a big crush on Brandon, but he's afraid to talk to him. Brandon finds Zack's shy behavior very cute and would like to get to know him better. If your character supports Zack, he'll be able to make a move on Brandon and they'll go to the formal together. In Book 2, Brandon and Zack are an official couple and things seem to be going pretty well - until Brandon confesses that he's transferring to a college in Peru for spring quarter. Zack pretends not to care because he doesn't want to worry Brandon. But inside, Zack is scared because he doesn't know if he can handle a long-distance relationship. In the end, Zack lets Brandon go, even though it tears him apart. Book 3 shows how much Zack misses Brandon, and his roommates do everything they can to cheer him up. In Book 4, however, Zack reveals that they broke up because they became too different, but they remain friends.
Victor
Not much is known about Brandon's interaction with him other than the fact that they work in the campus coffee shop. Brandon is mentioned by Victor in the last chapter of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor.
