You're right. It's not illegal or even strictly immoral. You're two people who have met by peculiar circumstances (the seismic shift of families breaking apart and other families coming together). This could never have happened, your parents never met, he'd have remained a stranger and then you met him later in a club or something, and it'd just be a normal relationship.
But that didn't happen. Your parents did meet. And now you have this familial relationship, even though you're not blood-related. I'm sure you can understand why some people would have a problem with it, not least your actual family who may see two siblings wanting to enter a relationship as a bit incestuous. It's not fair, and it's not easy, but it is what it is. How you proceed is largely going to depend upon the personalities of the people involved. You, him, and your family.
Is it normal to have a crush on your step-brother?
