All About Us (LT One shot books)

Only him

Yanis no longer remembered when the Bourgeois twins sunk into his soul. It just happened. This happened. He watched endless videos on YouTube like crazy and saved their videos and photos on Instagram to his favorites. Yanis did not immediately notice that he was obsessed with only one twin. Yanis did not immediately realize that he was jealous of Larry, that he was annoyed by the fact that Laurent had a twin. But Yanis was not a fool or an idiot, he just wanted to get closer to Laurent. Yanis began to study the relationship between the twins more carefully and make a list of weak points, looking for quarrels between them, an opportune moment to draw Laurent's attention to himself. Yanis tried to be discreet and unobtrusive, at least not at first sight. When he was at the workshops, he showed himself, he was next to Laurent, while Larry was distracted by the fans and started talking about nothing. Exploring many Instagram accounts, Yanis found out where Laurent dances most often, and where it is more likely to meet Laurent on the street. As if by chance he made friends with Laurent's friends. And he got lucky.

The twins once again had a major quarrel, and even though both remained in France, they spent their free time from work as far away from each other as possible. It turned out to be pure coincidence that when Laurent called Salif, he and Yanis and a couple of other dancers were hanging out in their favorite square. Yanis took this as a chance and did not miss it. He did not even understand how it happened, just a week later Laurent called him himself.

And a few weeks later, the twins organized two workshops. Yanis is not a fool, he realizes that the twins reconciled and is not going to lose the points. He stood in Larry's group, in the most inconspicuous corner, and spoke to Laurent again only when Larry's attention was directed in another direction. He maintained an unobtrusive connection with Laurent, sending jokes and funny pictures, some smart quotes, and exciting videos of some dancers. Yanis was waiting for Laurent to invite him to dance with him.

Yanis proudly realized that over the past few months, Laurent had danced with him more often than with his twin, and listening to Laurent's complaints about Larry noted the right places for himself, not forgetting to make comments, adding fuel to the fire of their quarrels.

The end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 gave Yanis many great moments and chances. He became very close to Laurent. Laurent looked sad, his leg hurt, and was plagued by a large number of personal problems, about which Yanis knew nothing.

Lately, Larry has been acting like a moral bastard, he seems to be cruel to his twin, and Laurent is languishing. Yanis was surprised that no one from his inner circle, neither friends nor family, gave a single comment, and did not even ask Laurent how he was doing.

Sitting on the floor in a dance studio in Sarcelles, among the guys from the criminals Kru, Yanis felt chosen, felt that he had won something. After all, he was sitting next to Laurent, Larry was somewhere far away, and Yanis did not care where he was. The creak of the opened door caused joyful cries of the guys and quiet curses from Yanis. Larry entered the studio.

Yanis was frightened at first, and then he saw the coldness in Laurent's eyes, as he indifferently remained standing in his place. And calmed down. Yanis did not believe that Larry would win the battle, which he did not even know about.

Larry's face glowed with happiness. Larry felt a lightness in his body, humming something under his breath, he approached Laurent with light, sliding movements and hugged him, firmly pressing his palms to the back of the twin, forcing him to press into his body. Laurent bravely held on for a few seconds, but the "Hello" that slipped off touched his bare shoulder with a warm wave and was absorbed into the skin, dissolving all insults and omissions. He didn't even remember why they fought. It didn't matter. Laurent didn't see the winning and superior look Larry gave Yanis.

Yanis sat cross-legged on the floor and tried to understand at least something. He gave everything right. He surrounded Laurent with his attention so that Larry would not know anything. Larry's jealousy was legendary on the World Wide Web. Yanis did not want to be expelled from the environment of the twins. Yanis did not notice how Laura, the first girl on the Criminals team, approached him. She sat down next to him and smiled sympathetically.

- Don't get in between them

- What?

- What hear. Larry always finds out. These two — Laura waved aside the arguing twins — they are. Constantly quarreling, constantly being together. And no one is allowed to influence them. You, Laurent's friend, but Larry won't let you even try to move up a notch. - and she left, not intending to wait for at least some reaction from Yanis. But Larry approached him. He was serious.

- Thank you. - Larry smiled, but his eyes were still cold.

- For what?

- For being with Laurent and supporting him while I dealt with my problems

- I'm just happy to spend time with him.

- Yes, I noticed it - Larry squatted down so that he was on the same level with the eyes Yanis - But do not try to get closer to him.

- What are you talking about? Yanis swallowed nervously. Larry didn't look like a nice guy anymore. Yanis wanted to pee.

- Don't pretend. I have always seen your views and looked at you. You are like my copy. Although you tried to get closer to Laurent, and chose his style of clothing, in the end, you became like me. For now, I'm just warning you. And that's one of the reasons Laurent contacted you. He missed me, and you looked a lot like me. - Larry grinned wryly - Laurent has experienced enough, although he is one of the strongest people, it takes quite a bit of effort to break him down. And if it's your fault, you won't live long.

- Larry I...

- I'm not interested. I know all about you and your manipulations. About what you told Laurent about me, how you kept up the story that I was the bad guy. It doesn't matter, no matter how much we quarreled, no matter what offensive words we said to each other, we can always make peace. It's very easy for Laurent to get the impression that he's not important to me. Thanks to our father, it's a matter of seconds. I won't let my father influence Laurent, so why do you think I'll let you do it? Laurent needs me, I'll be with Laurent. I will always come and prove to him that he is important to me, and if along the way I have to break your ass and destroy you, it will no longer matter to me. Do you understand me, Yanis?

Yanis just nodded weakly, looking at Larry's devilish face. There was nothing soft and gentle, there was no rabbit smile and innocent look. In Larry's eyes, Yanis saw his death if he dared to cross the line.

Yanis blinked. He had just seen a deadly threat in Larry's eyes, and now he was all beaming with happiness and love, accepting Laurent's arms. He spoke softly somewhere into Larry's neck. After a moment, Laurent said a weak farewell to everyone, and the twins left the studio.

Yanis was still sitting on the floor, trying to process Larry's words. Rubiks landed next to him. It's time for the second batch of tips.

- Relax and let go. I grew up in front of these guys and they grew up in front of my eyes. Nothing changes between them. Larry will not forbid you to communicate with Laurent, but he will know every detail. This guy does not hesitate to check the twin's phone, all correspondence, and calls. Laurent can sometimes think too much, driving himself into a dark place, but Larry is always there.

- But I thought...

- And you're not the first. Laurent is just for Larry. Everyone thinks Larry is selfish. But the only thing Larry is selfish about is his twin. Remember this and Laurent will become your best friend.
