So I don't know we've met a few times we've talked a few times but I don't want to make you feel comfortable or weird so what should I do?

 He might. He might not. Maybe he is just shy around women, which , at his age , is far from unusual.
Don't do anything, just be your normal self and treat him as you'd treat any family guest in your house. Friendly but not
flirty, polite but not icy,- just... normal. If he feels awkward , it's his problem to solve, you are not doing anything to make him feel awkward.

 Hello,
It's unwise to act on this, as it would conflict with his friendship with your brother if you became involved. If you break up, his and your brother's friendship is likely to be hard or impossible to maintain. It also means he'd have to come over to see you and your brother separately, with jealousy issues probably arising because he was your brother's friend first. Two years can also be a big-ish gap until you're both 21+.
I'd advise letting this hunch slide.
Best wishes.

 Ignore it.
He might be attracted to you, but his friendship with your brother IS more important to him.
Also, dating your brother's friend(s)s is rare a good thing.
