My worry is, do I continue to flirt with him and generally try my best to get together with him, or leave it because he's my brothers best friend? My brother is very protective of me and I worry I'm doing the wrong thing. I can't help how i feel!

 The problem is not that he is your brother's friend...the problem is that they live together. If you were prepared for a serious (marriage track) relationship, then sure, go for it. If it is just a fling or casual get together, then at least wait until they are not roommates anymore.
BTW: ANy chance that your brother and him are more than just roommates? Hey it does happen.

 You have a good brother protecting you. I would leave it. It's OK to be attracted to him, but trying too hard to get him can come back and bite you in the end. Over flirting with many turns people away instead of bringing them closer together.
Be his friend, hang with your brother and him, "flirt" mess around a little bit, not making it too obvious. If his friend likes you too, you'll start to notice it. Let it happen naturally, instead of trying to force it to happen.
Does your brother know how you feel? It may not hurt, if it came down to it, to ask your brother for his acceptance with you going out with his friend.
