Expect... unexpected.
To say „It's complicated" is like to say nothing. First's younger brother Fourth is in almost happy relationship with famous singer and definitely doesn't need any changes. Khaotung is F1 driver for Ferrari in his last year in...

Weeks went by and they still hadn't gotten any positive news from P'Zee. P'Zee, when asked about NuNew one evening, replied:
“We don't know where he is, but we have clear tracks, it won't be long.”
Fourth just shrugged then. He felt discouraged. Pretending to be Gun, who also loved to sing, was exhausting, and if you added the fact that they had to be extremely careful...
Gemini saw his expression, abandoned his homework on Tinn's behalf, and walked over to Fourth, who was standing by the window, to wrap his arms around his waist and hug him from behind. Fourth covered Gemini's joined hands with his hands and for a few minutes they just stood in silence, looking at the view outside the window. They were at Tinn's house. A few minutes earlier, Tinn's mom had made sure the boys had plenty of energy to study and had brought them a large plate of sandwiches.
“Don't forget to rest, boys.” She smiled warmly and motherly at them. She knew their history perfectly well, P'Zee had told her every detail, including the fact that Gemini had searched for Fourth for many years before finding him, not even knowing the boy's name or what school he went to. She thought it was romantic and beautiful and she loved happy endings.
“We won't forget, Mom.” Gemini had already gotten into the habit of calling her mom, even though she wasn't his real mother. She was Tinn's mother, but since Tinn was away, she promised herself to take care of the boys in the meantime and not let anything bad happen to them. That was her job too, and she was responsible not only to P'Zee, but also to P'Bright, the head of the Shadowhunter institute on Gaia II. Gemini liked her, she was very much like his mother.
“Learning is important, but if you don't take breaks and rest, you won't remember anything tomorrow.”
“We know, don't worry, Mom. We only have physics homework left, we'll finish it quickly” Gemini assured her, then suggestively but gently signaled her that she should leave and give them some privacy. No sooner had the woman crossed the threshold than P'Zee contacted them.
“Good evening, boys.”
“Good evening, P'Zee.” They greeted him politely, clasping their hands together as if in prayer and bowing slightly.
“Are you bringing us good news?”
Zee didn't answer Gemini's question, and Fourth could see from his expression that something must have happened to shake up the usually emotionless P'Zee, but the man gave them literally nothing. Instead, for a good twenty minutes, he questioned them about everything, told them to report on the week's events, asked them to describe the behavior of their colleagues, and asked if they thought anything looked suspicious.
“Not particularly, P'Zee. We had a problem with one of the teachers but my mum took care of it, this man won't hurt anyone with his stupid views anymore” Gemini used to call Tinn's mum his mum. Fourth thought that if this continued, they would be stuck here forever, with no way back to their universe and their loved ones, whom they both missed terribly.
