What's up folks we have a little intro to Sang already so i thought I'd kick off with the guys POV here. If you spot any mistakes leave me a comment as I'm typing this on my phone while my 1 year old nephew is screaming at his dad in the next room 🙃 enjoy! thanks!

Kota POV
Max whines at the window for the sixth time, leaning his head on the frame as his front paws hold him up on the window seat. I sigh and close my laptop, my final mission report sent to mr.b finally. I get up from my cluttered desk and cross to the window to look at what is bothering Max so much, gently pushing his body to the side to see out. He looks up at me with intelligent chocolate eyes, he's the smartest golden retriever i have ever known, although i may be slightly biased. I look out to see a large moving truck parked in front of the house opposite mine. Sunnyvale crescent is not a busy place so new neighbors is unusual. The removal men carry boxes and furniture into the house with a practiced rhythm. I frown wondering what these new neighbors will be like, hopefully they won't bring drama to our quiet corner of Charleston. I begin to count in threes under my breath. I mentally shrug and shoot of a text to Nathan a few doors up, asking if he has heard anything about them.
Within a minute a reply pings my phone

Nathan: nah man, not heard anything, been busy. You seen the family yet?

Kota: nope not seen anyone yet, Max is super curious tho, will update later.

Nathan: lol doggo intuition? Update sooner if there's any hot girls dude!;)

Kota: not happening buddy. See you later.

I let out a snort at Nates words. Typical.
Leaving Max to guard the window i settle with a book for the afternoon. I doubt these new neighbors will be anything interesting, but i send a quick text to the group chat to inform everyone.

Victor POV:
The door slams shut, the sound reverberating through the cold emotionless room. I let my blank face slip as a tear escapes and makes a slow path down my face to the keys of the piano. Yet again I have been locked in the music room of the mansion to practice. Anything but perfection isn't good enough for my parents, the harsh words of my dad still ring through my ears
"What's the fucking use of all our hard work if you don't even practice enough. At this rate you will never be good enough, you ungrateful piece of shit!"
I don't need to look at the sheet music as i play the piece in a robotic fashion, i miss hearing music, it used to sound so alive and vibrant. I feel numb when i play now, it's never good enough for my parents, I'm never good enough. I hate it, it's not music anymore, just a combination of sound frequencies. Dull, unfeeling, overplayed.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, distracting me from the looming depressive thoughts. Pulling it out i see Kota informing the team about his new neighbors. Listening carefully for the telltale signs of a parental eavesdropper i look into who bought the house. The Sorensons appear to be an average middle class family, a married couple with a teenage daughter, Marie Sorenson is a little older than me, again very average and unremarkable. I dismiss the information, my curiosity faded.

Owen POV:
I file away the mission report Mr.Lee sent over, and dismiss the information about new neighbors, knowing that is anything was amiss Mr.Morgan would alert the team.
My fingers twitch my tie as i sit in my favourite armchair, letting my signature emotionless mask drop. The upcoming mission was going to be stressful, the full team working undercover in the shitty highschool was not something i looked forward too, the boys would be posing as transfer students from a private school and Dr. Green and I as teachers. I let my head drop against the back of the chair. I was not looking forward to working in the overcrowded school, filled with pompous unpleasant teachers, the interview I had attended had highlighted that. The teachers were condescending toward us due to our age, both of us almost twenty years old, much younger than the current staff.
Hopefully the mission will go smoothly, we can end the distribution of this new dangerous drug and find out where all the school funds are disappearing to.
I pick up my phone from the coffee table and open the group chat.

Mr.B: Due to the upcoming mission I am scheduling a family meeting for tomorrow morning. Can everyone make 8 AM at DR.Green's and my apartment?

Dr.Green: sure thang owie <3

Mr.B: Please don't start Sean.

Kota: yeah i can make it, Nate you want a lift?

Nathan: yeah thanks man all good with me.

Luke: lil bro says we will be there, silas too!

Victor: I'll be there too, Gabe I can pick you up on the way

Gabriel: thank fuck! I'm not walking :)

North: stop calling me that Lucian!

Luke: shhhhhh you looove it ;)

Mr.B: Thankyou gentlemen, I'll see you tomorrow then.

The next morning

Mr. Morgan and Mr. Coleman enter the living room and settle on the black leather sofa. "Now that's everyone present, we will begin" I announce as i stand in front of my brothers, their attention zero's in on me.
"We have a week before we begin at Ashley Waters, Dr. Green and myself have already taken care of your schedules. The objective of this mission is to investigate the new drug JH.14 that has been circulating. The school was also awarded funds for the renovation of the deteriorating building. However these funds seem to be missing and half the classes are taught in trailers separate from the building. This is a rough school, it's overcrowded and badly run, so we will be proceeding with caution." My team nod as they process through the information, Mr.Lee stands from his spot beside the wall, "I guess we are going in as students, but what about you guys?" He asks looking between Dr.Green and myself.
"Ah! We get the fun role, I'm teaching Japanese and helping in the nurses office, and stick in the mud over there is going in as an administrative assistant and music teacher" Sean just about bounces out of his chair with excitement as he tells the group this. I manage to hold back my eyeroll at his antics. Letting out a sigh i turn back to my brothers "yes, we will be joining the faculty and you will join the student body. Is everyone in agreement?" I question. A chorus of "i am willing and I will obey" sounds from everyone. "Good. Meeting adjourned gentlemen" i state, the serious faces relax as they begin to talk amongst themselves. A familiar warmth overtakes me as i observe the family, the tight bond between us all shines in each others eyes. My brothers and I have always craved the missing piece of our family, the last space to be filled, after much discussion we decided we all wanted an Anderson style relationship, one bird between us all. The doubt in the back of my mind lingers as i observe the team, each member completely unique and diverse, would we ever find the bird to fit with all of us? I hope so, each boy has suffered enough, they all deserve to find happiness, I know I would sacrifice my own chance of happiness for them if needed.
