Hey there girl,
Just tell him that tired of keeping things under wraps, when it's obvious that you're both into each other. It might be awkward at first, but I think that your friend and your brother will understand. This involves how YOU feel about this relationship, not how they feel. I think they will respect you either way.
If you want to make things easier, try dropping hints along the way ... like, you could casually just say to your friend one day: "Hey, what do you think if ____ and I hooked up?" Regardless of her reaction, just look at her seriously and maybe explain that you've started to like each other. This will speed things up and make it easier for her to accept it. You can do the same thing with your brother ... just be cool about it. You could say something like, (half-jokingly) "Hey, you'd better watch out, I think ____ is hitting on me. Isn't it your duty as my brother to beat the crap out of him?" and then maybe just introduce it to him that way. I think things can really work out this way. Best of luck.
Let me know how everything works out,
