“Bridge the gap”?! Did he not know what the dude said and the history of it all? If anything HE (stepbrother) has to bridge the gap, he created the gap! NTA! You tried and I think you are perfectly in reason to not see him as family after multiple failed attempts- or more appropriately, him not accepting your olive branch. Your brother is obviously trying to use you, he doesn’t want to be a family, he’s selfish. He’s just trying to guilt trip you into getting what he wants. He has alot to prove before he can be asking for favors. If he really wants to be family, it shouldn’t be built on favors like that, but a slow build of trust and commitment. You will not get that if you let him in like this.

Not the a**hole. Coffee shop meet-up is more appropriate for reconciliation.
