Those are intrusive thoughts. They have nothing to do with how you really feel. It may feel real, but they are just intrusive thoughts, and nothing more.
Each and every one of us has weird thoughts, some of which can be unpleasant, and make us think that we might do something that, in reality, we would never do. Think of that, and think of all the people you know, that you work with or pass in the street. They all have weird thoughts, just as you do.
But the difference is that with OCD, we hold onto those thoughts and obsess over then, and imagine that they might be really what we want, instead of letting them go. Recovering from OCD involves learning to let go of these thoughts. They may crop up now and again still, but if you can learn to let them go they won't hurt you any longer.
So these thoughts about your brother are, however weird, just thoughts. It doesn't mean you feel anything for him except as a brother. If possible, ignore them without trying too hard to push them away.
