Book 3 of the Alarie Brothers Grizzy, Puffer and Blarg had a decent friendship after Pezzy and Smiity got kidnapped. They still didn't hang out too often outside of their apartment or class, but Grizzy liked to consider them his friends. But that friendship gets tested when a new guy comes to UATX and strikes up a friendship with Grizzy. Puffer, Blarg and all his friends don't seem to like him, but Grizzy can't seem to understand why.

Book 1 of the Alarie Brothers No one messes with the Alarie siblings, only known as Pezzy, Blarg, Kryoz and Puffer. No one knew anything about them other than the one time someone tried to pick on the smallest one, they ended up in the hospital after a run in with the three older brothers. Droid runs into a group of people surrounding someone, and pushes his way through. They'd surrounded the smallest brother, who he only knew as Pezzy, and had him tied up with a bag over his head. He gives him CPR after threatening to call the police, or worse, the other brothers, and finds himself sucked into the mysteries of the Alarie family.

Book 2 of the Alarie Brothers Ever since he'd seen Kryoz his first day of college, Smiity had been smitten. No one but Droid even knew about his infatuation. And then Droid brought the brothers into their lives, and Smiity found himself interacting with Kryoz more and more often, even if Kryoz still held himself at a distance. But Smiity couldn't focus on his budding friendship with the Alarie brothers, not with what he dealt with in secret at school. A group of bullies who hated him because he refused to bow down and grovel to them. When he gets cornered one day, he experiences his worst beatings after he snarked them when his teacher asked him to tutor them in one of his classes. Kryoz finds him, and Smiity sees a side of Kryoz he'd never seen before.
