A comedy nobody asked for :)

Chapter 1 1/2: Life, Love & Lies

Yuri's POV

Yuri Briar did not trust anyone. He was trained to not trust anything in fact. Trust was a weakness. But the SSS came after his Sister so he only trusted Yor. He didn't trust silence either. Silence meant secrets. Secrets meant danger. And danger meant—very possibly—something happening near his sister. And Daniel was suspiciously silent.

Which meant it was his business.

He stood in the shared kitchen at 2:17 a.m., arms crossed, staring at the closed door to Damian's room.

The boy—Daniel—had moved in less than a day ago.

And already, Yuri didn't like him. He didn't like kids in general. It was the same with Chihuahua girl at first. But soon, he sucked up his pride and warmed up to her, for his sister's happiness of course. But something was off about Daniel. He couldn't tell if it was just an instinct or if he was just allergic to kids who attracted attention without meaning to.

Daniel seemed normal. He wore a hoodie all the time, wore glasses, had bright blue eyes and messy brown hair. Just a normal kid.

But Daniel was... wrong.

Not suspicious in the obvious way. No shifty eyes. No nervous fidgeting. No lies Yuri could hear.

Which was worse.

The kid was calm. Polite. Too well-spoken for someone claiming to be "a regular high school student."

Yuri narrowed his eyes.

Rich, his instincts whispered.
Trained, another voice added.

Daniel had shown up in oversized clothes—plain hoodie, dull colours, posture slightly slouched. Hair messy. Glasses that suited his face, too well.

A disguise.

Yuri felt it in his bones.

"You," Yuri said suddenly.

Damian looked up from the table. "Yes, sir?"

Strike one. Too respectful.

"You said you're studying."

"Yes."

"Where?"

"...Here."

Strike two. Non-answers.

Yuri leaned closer. "Why do you avoid eye contact?"

Damian blinked. "I don't."

He met Yuri's gaze evenly.

Yuri recoiled internally.

Confident under pressure. Definitely trained.

Before Yuri could continue, his phone buzzed.

YOR.

He froze.

He turned away immediately.

"Yes, Yor?! Is everything alright?! Did someone look at you strangely today?!"

Damian watched him leave, sweat forming at the back of his neck.

Fiona's POV

Fiona noticed Daniel the moment he walked in.
