The sky was pretty dark right now, and the streets were cold. Seemed like rain's gonna pour later. It's been a few days since Yuri saved-uhh, help, as Serena insisted-Serena. The latter helped Dennis while she could while she was there.

"Yuri told me you guys talked about our past?" Dennis mentioned as he gave a customer a cup of coffee. "Here you go, sir." The guy happily thanked him before leaving.

She turned to him before answering, "Hm? Oh, that. Yeah." She was sweeping the floor.

Dennis frowned. "That's good..." he glanced at her. "I have a question for ya. Do you... like Yuri?"

She furrowed her brows and put the broom and dustpan at the wall. "The fuck of a question is that!?"

"I'm just asking!"

"Tch, fine. Sigh... I..."

"Take it easy,"

"Yeah. Well, I kinda like him. I dunno. I now know more about him, but I don't feel scared. And I know other people would gladly leave him knowing all this-except his bros, of course." She shrugged.

Dennis gave her a heavy sigh. "Okay. Now, why do you think he'd help you?"

"Cause I'm in pain? Dude, isn't it obvious...?"

"I'm just gonna warn you. Though not really a warning, watch out for him. And his actions. I'm not saying for you to look after him, but for yourself. He had some relationships in the past - mind you, we've known each other since highschool - and they didn't really end well."

"I still don't get what you mean."

Dennis sighed. "Just... don't trust him too much. Know when he's "using" you."

"I feel like this is related to me liking him... So, then, should I stop liking him...?" Serena asked.

"It is. Though, I'm not saying you should stop liking him, just a heads up to some parts of himself. And please, please, don't leave him... yet. He won't shut up about 'mates' before you came-"

"E-Excuse me!?"

"Shit, what he meant was, someone he'd love. Romantically." Dennis clarified. "Anyway, other than that, you're... different."

"How so?" This really piqued her interest; I mean, she never thought someone would like her like this.

Dennis grinned at her. "I don't think you're easy to manipulate, the psychological kind. You'd probably notice it right away and threaten him (and that's why I didn't drive you away from him when I had the chance)," he laughed, "you're also like one of his brothers. Both idiots, both headstrong, both short-tempered. Both easy to tease. You're probably only more serious than him."
