THE BLONDE HAD HIS hostile smile on his lips as he tapped the surface of his desk with the end of his pen. a short pile of photos spread across the top while one of them were held in his hands. he observed each one with his hazel eyes, but mostly focused his inspection on the male that was taken in the photo. there was a female beside of him and the two were smiling at each other, it was a buoyant scene in the picture but he didn't like the sight of that.

he recalled to the day he met with that one man— a friend of the female in the photo, or that's what it seemed like the two were. the man's affection for the female is unrequited, as her attention was settled on someone else. it was obvious, from the way she looked at the other male in those taken photos and her feelings for him were mutual.

the blonde still felt contemptuous from the way that man declined his offer— jean kirsten was it? he remembered the name just then, as their first ever conversation replayed in his mind. the blonde laughed faintly, in an amused way.

"mister skye? your guest has arrived," a voice spoke from behind the door.

skye placed the photo that was in his hands back down onto the table, allowing the guest he requested to see that day to enter the room. the blonde watched as his office door swung open, another tall man with shaggy, blonde hair stepping into the room. it became silent as the sound of the door creaked closed behind.

the blonde stood from his seat, spreading his arms as if he was indicating for a greeting hug. he walked over to the other, a hoaxing smile now relaxing upon his lips. "ah, zeke! my dearest, most amazing cousin!" skye said, about to wrap his arm around him.

zeke didn't say a word, instead, he paused skye's movements by extending his hand, keeping a short distance between them. skye chuckled after seeing his cousin's gesture and stepped back, adjusting the tie that was around his neck before clearing his throat.

"what did you call me here for?" zeke went straight to the point, his impatience growing as his eyes flickered to the clock pinned on the wall. he wanted to leave immediately— well at first, he didn't even want to meet skye but being an obedient son and respectful cousin, he had to.

"oh, just cause i miss ya!" skye answered, though that technically wasn't the true reason and they both knew that was a lie. zeke watched as skye returned behind his desk, retrieving one photo that was on the top. "i have a surprise for you," skye started, as he gestured zeke to come forward.

zeke obeyed and motioned forward until he reached the front of skye's desk, peering down at the photos that made him so curious. he wasn't able to process who or what was printed on them right away as skye earned his attention.
