Zack
In Book 1, Zack Zilberg has a big crush on Brandon but hasn't got the courage 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 go pretty well - until Brandon confesses that he'll transfer to a college in Peru for spring quarter. Zack acts like it doesn't bother him much because he doesn't want to make Brandon worry. But in the inside, Zack is terrified 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. In Book 3, it is shown how much Zack misses Brandon and his roommates do everything to cheer him up. However, in Book 4, Zack reveals they have broken up because they've become too different from one another, 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 final chapter of The Haunting of Braidwood Manor.
