School went by awfully slow and It was already the middle of October. Tamaki was still on his own and Unfortunately, The kids at the secondary school did start catching on to his Anxiety and started to tease him for it. What was worse is that Tamaki soon had to do a presentation for his English Class on his essay on his ethnicity and where he was from. He wasn't stressed over the Russian part of his presentation, He was mainly stressing over the asian part of him. Most people didn't believe Tamaki or Takami if they mentioned if they were Chinese due to how 'Russian' the boys looked. Takami didn't give two fucks about people saying that, but Tamaki did. He loved his Mother's side of culture even though he was raised Russian. His Momma raised her boys around Chinese Culture as often as she could but she also fell in love with Russian culture so much due to the boy's father. That was the main reason why she didn't stop her husband from raising both of their boys Russian. Luckily for Tamaki, He did his own research on both cultures so he could feel more equal and plus, It was easier for him to do the presentation. The Complex part was only to present to the whole entire English Class. He hated presenting because his mind always messed him up and made him do things that didn't even happen. Tamaki had a plan to make flash cards so he can just present from off the index cards. He was sitting across from his own brother during lunch and Takami was too busy to notice that his younger brother was working on his project. Tamaki took out some posted notes from his bag and quickly jotted down what he needed for his presentation. The day to present was soon and he couldn't afford to mess up.
"What are you writing?" Takami questioned as he stood above Tamaki and looked down to where his brother was sitting. Tamaki looked up and slightly jumped out of his seat as the stare from Takami's brown eyes startled him.
"Working on what I should buy and bring for my presentation. I might ask Momma for help on this." Tamaki answered firmly as he took out the sticky note and pressed it on his notebook.
"Ew.. What is it about?" Takami asked as he sat down.
"Chinese Culture."
"Why, just why."
"Because our mother is Chinese? Did you not know that?" Tamaki was starting to get fed up with the stupid questions but he tried to ignore them the best that he could. Takami shrugged as he took a bite of yogurt that the boys mother packed in for them.
"Of course I know, You know you could've called up Taehyung and Seong-Jin to ask them for suggestions." Takami added as he went to finish up his lunch.
"They're Korean. So is Yeong-Su before you even add him." Tamaki mumbled as he finished up another sticky note to his notebook. His notebook was slowly getting filled with sticky notes for his presentation and soon enough Tamaki would be overworking before he knew it.
"Kaede-" Takami suggested.
"Thai. and absolutely fucking not." Tamaki gagged.
"Aspen or Atlas- Wait no they're Russian too."
"Go on."
"Let me think, Jesus Christ uh-"
As Takami was thinking of names of the boys' cousins that were on the top of his mind, Tamaki continued to write down information for his project and carried on.
"Wait! I know!!" a lightbulb finally went off to Takami's head. It took him a few moments before he could actually think of someone.
"And that someone is??" Tamaki asked as he pressed the sticky note onto his notebook.
"Kayato! Or Kanako! I know they're Japanese but they're half Chinese too!!" Takami proudly announced as Tamaki drew a lil 'Kirby'  and stuck it to Takami's uniform.
"True, but I don't think we have Kanako's number since you know what Kayato said, 'Don't stay in contact with her.' I'm pretty sure she's busy with her own life." Tamaki smiled while Takami looked at the Kirby his brother drew.
"Oh, I didn't know that. By the way, Thanks for Kirb!" Takami's eyes softened as Tamaki giggled. The eldest brother's autism was hitting him and he didn't even know it. He was diagnosed with Autism at a young age around the same time Tamaki was diagnosed with his Anxiety. Tamaki noticed how Takami's body was shaking with excitement but due to the fact it was normal, Tamaki shrugged it off, But Tamaki had to make sure Takami didn't trigger a derealization because he also had a derealization disorder. Both Belove Brothers were mentally unstable and they had to take care of each other.
"Anyway—" Takami cleared his throat.
"Anyway?" Tamaki repeated as he placed another sticky note onto his notebook.
"When is it due? What class is it for?"  Takami finally asked.
"Today. English." Tamaki answered firmly as he looked directly at his own brother.
"Why the hell is this for an English class?"
"I don't know you're asking the wrong fucking person." Tamaki rolled his eyes as he looked at his phone. Time was going by awfully slow and he hated it. He wanted to finish the school day already and then he can finally rest.
"Then why isn't it turned in? Your English class has already passed." Takami reluctantly bothered Tamaki.
"It is turned in! I'm just working on making little notes for my presentation for tomorrow." Tamaki rolled his eyes.
"Oh. Well that explains a lot. Hm. Well, Good Luck to you. When do you have History with that Wynders person? I haven't heard much from you to talk about him." The eldest Belove was curious since Tamaki normally talked about people in class that stood out to him and this time Tamaki hasn't.
"Last period. But He's not really that interesting. He smells like cigarettes and I believe he smokes before history or before any class in general." Tamaki shrugged as he finally placed his final sticky note for his presentation.
"Weird. I've heard he's popular with the ladies. Probably because he's like one of those "Badass" Guys or something. You know!! Like from those movies back at home!!" Takami cackled as Tamaki giggled with him.
"Please, This is a school in Brighton. I doubt he's one of those. I don't even talk to him. He just sits next to me. He's kinda handsome though, I love his eyes.. his hair.. and especially the fact his jawline is sharp and—" Tamaki gushed as Takami blankly stared.
"Yo? Another crush??" He snickered.
"Oh Shut up. I don't think so." Tamaki argued.
"Uh Huh!! Sure. Soon enough you'll start crushing for him and you'll go crazy and then shit will happen and your heart will be broken all over again."  Takami cringed as he snatched up Tamaki's Lunch bag.
"I'm serious Takami!! I don't think i'll fall in love with him. Besides He already has a bunch of girls all up on him. And I don't need to be one of those bitches. Even though I'm a guy." Tamaki sighed heavily. He was hoping he didn't develop feelings for someone in his class otherwise it'd be awkward due to the fact that he's gay and plus he didn't even know how the school people would act towards a homosexual.
"Tam. You say this with every other person you ever crushed on. I should've recorded it but Dad didn't get us our phones til my freshman year!!"
"And my 8th grade year." Tamaki added onto his sentence.
"Yeah, Yeah. Whatever. But seriously, you've gotten into two and I mean two!! relationship's and they were both shit for you. Come on, give yourself a break." Takami whined as he shook his younger brother's shoulders. Takami was right, Tamaki was in two former relationships and they were both terrible. But one of them was a set-up between Tamaki and Takami's so-called 'Best Friend', 'Skyler'. He was better known as 'Skye' by the two brothers. Unfortunately Tamaki was uncomfortable with that relationship due to the age gap difference and how he almost pressured Tamaki into having sex with him when the youngest Belove was only 13 going into 14. Skylar was only 17 at the time. Tamaki hated that memory and wished to forget it every single day. Takami eventually dropped Skylar due to the fact of the move plus on how he was a danger to Tamaki's well-being for his anxiety.
"I didn't say I wanted to date him! I don't even like him either!" Tamaki argued as he unzipped his backpack and grabbed onto his notebook to put inside.
"Well you're making it seem like that Tami because I'm warning you, you know how dad feels about you being with someone after Skye and everything." Takami scoffed.
"I know how Dad feels, I feel the same way. That's why I'm avoiding to like people right now." Tamaki was humiliated and he already had enough with his brother trying to overpower him repeatedly.
"Okay. But don't say I didn't warn you." Takami rolled his eyes as he put down Tamaki's Lunch Bag.
"I won't."
