𝐕. in the house of sinners

Y/n was reading a book while sitting across Tamara's son, Sei Zen'in. Y/n looked up and saw the young boy who was a year older than Yuji was cleaning his weapon, a golden trident. He thought that it's too dangerous for a kid to have a weapon like that but then he remembered that this kid is born to be a sorcerer just like his mother. His father barely had any cursed energy so he's pretty much a bottom feeder in the Zen'in family at least that was he heard from the other Zen'in family members when he was walking around.

He felt bad for the kid's father, it was only because Tamara had agreed on marrying his father as soon as he was born that the discrimination against him lessened but that doesn't mean the discrimination disappeared in fact, it worsened. It was only because that Tamara had given birth to Sei that he became relevant to the Zen'in family. Sei was already ranked as a special grade and because of that, he's a valuable member to the Zen'in family.

Y/n saw that Sei inherited most of his mother's genetics; golden-blonde hair and light blue irisies. However, Y/n doesn't know if Sei is a kid or not. The kid's face is completely devoid of any emotion and is apathetic. He saw the baby pictures of Sei and what he saw was not the face of a baby but a face that literally screams, "I did not ask to be born." or "God, I hate it here already." and no amount of gushing from Tamara about her son could convince Y/n that Sei has a soul of an overworked office worker who has to work overtime always.

"Hey, kid." Y/n called and he was surprised when Sei looks at him with a bombastic side eye. "Uh, you hungry?" he tentatively asked.

Sei stared at him for a hot minute and Y/n cannot believe that he is getting nervous because a kid was analyzing him. "Yeah." Sei answered.

"You wanna get something to eat?" Y/n offered and then Sei shoots him another look that got Y/n a bit nervous. Dear god, what is wrong with this kid?

Another minute passed and Sei answered. "Yeah."

Y/n stood up from where he was sitting on the floor and so does Sei. The kid walked up to him and hold his hand. Y/n blinked in surprise when Sei had willingly grabbed his hand, he initially thought that the kid was someone who despises physical contact from other people but maybe he's just having a bad time moving his facial muscles perhaps?

"Mom said I should hold on to adults if we were going around somewhere without her." Sei spoke. "So, then I can lure them to a false sense of security before killing them before they can kill me."

Y/n stared at Sei in disbelief. "Really now?" What did I even expect? Doraemon?

"Mom told me about you." Sei said as he and Y/n were walking down the hallway. "She said that your parents are dead."

Y/n stared at Sei in even more disbelief. "Y-Yeah... They are." Well, he's a Zen'in alright.

"Hey, who the fuck are you and why are you here in my house?" A boisterous and annoying voice echoed from behind them.

Y/n and Sei turned around and saw a boy around Y/n's age standing there. Y/n immediately recognized him as the current head of the Zen'in family's youngest son, Naoya Zen'in. He had heard about him from Tamara and that guy is probably one of the worst Zen'in family member that you just have to meet within the Zen'in family because this guy, Naoya, has the talent of getting his face punched with just one word from his mouth.

"From what I know, this house belongs to Ogi Zen'in at least since he's the current son." Y/n replied.

"And I'm his son and I'm going to be the one inheriting his position next." Naoya proudly told them.

"I'm pretty sure that's not how that works." Y/n disagreed.

Sei tugged on his shirt. "We should leave." He told Y/n, "Mom said that it's bad for me to interact with my stupid uncle which is him."
