Jay's POV
Luke and Chantelle were in the middle of the living room.
Dancing.
Not normal dancing.
Small, dramatic, unnecessary footwork.
Spinning.
Finger snapping.
Recording each other like they were filming a music video.
"Turn! Turn!" Chan laughed.
Luke twirled her dramatically.
"Perfect," he said. "Post that. Caption it: Reunited and superior."
I was sitting on the couch.
Keifer beside me.
Watching.
Very silently.
Very intensely.
Finally he leaned closer.
"Who is he to her?"
I blinked. "Unrelated brother."
Yuri turned. "Huh?"
Ciel cleared her throat. "Chan likes Luke's face and behavior. But since she has a boyfriend, she decided to adopt him as her older brother."
Adrian frowned. "This guy? A brother? Unbelievable."
Ciel shrugged. "He's even a brother to Jay and me."
Adrian sat up straight. "But I'm your brother."
"It's not wrong to have two brothers," Ciel replied calmly.
Keifer crossed his arms. "A brother doesn't kiss his sister on the lips."
The room froze.
Chantelle gasped. "WHAT? Luke kisses Ciel?"
Ciel blinked. "No, silly. Luke kissed JayJay."
I stood up immediately.
"WE. DID. NOT. KISS."
Chantelle slowly turned toward Luke.
"You kissed your sister?"
Luke leaned down and whispered in her ear.
And whispered.
And whispered.
And whispered.
Ten whole minutes.
We just watched.
Finally Chan pulled back.
"Ohhh. I understand."
Yuri squinted. "Where's Andy?"
"At the restaurant," Chan replied.
Luke nodded. "Ah yes, Andy. I've never seen him face to face. Only pictures and video calls."
"Very soon," Chan said confidently. "Very soon."
Luke smiled slightly and muttered softly,
"Expecto."
David narrowed his eyes. "Are you from a country that speaks Latin?"
Luke smiled. "I wish."
Keifer scoffed. "He can never be."
"Oh I'm not," Luke admitted cheerfully. "I learned from Latin action romance movies."
He started counting on his fingers.
"Corazón Oscuro. Amor en la Sombra. Fuego de Medianoche. Sangre y Rosas. Destino Prohibido. Llama Eterna—"
"No one asked," Keifer interrupted.
Luke ignored him and walked closer.
"No, wait. There are four more I'm forgetting."
Ciel raised her hand. "Pasión de Invierno?"
Luke turned dramatically. "YES. Elite taste."
Chantelle jumped in. "El Juramento del Amor!"
Luke pointed at her. "You see? Cinema queen."
"Two more," he said thoughtfully.
He turned to me.
"You know the remaining two. You even said you would watch."
"I don't remember," I said quickly.
He narrowed his eyes. "Lie. That is a lie."
I sighed. "Sombras del Destino and Bajo el Cielo Rojo."
Luke snapped his fingers. "That's it."
Keifer rolled his eyes. "No one was interested."
"Still counts," Luke replied proudly.
Keifer turned to me. "So you remember his favorite movies but not mine?"
I stared at him. "Seriously? Why are you jealous again?"
Luke casually stepped forward.
"Mark Keifer Watson's favorite movies are Hell University and Ang Mutya Section E."
Keifer froze.
"And his favorite song is Ikaw Miss Universe."
The room gasped.
"How do you know?" Keifer demanded.
"Your wife told me," Luke said calmly.
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"I'm sure you would."
"It's true," I said. "I told him."
Luke turned smoothly to Ci-N.
"That's not the only thing I know."
He pointed dramatically at Yuri.
"Yuri Hanamitcchi's favorite movies are Seducing Drake Palma and Project Loki."
Yuri blinked.
"And his favorite song?"
Luke began singing dramatically,
"Mahal kita… walang iba…"
Yuri covered his face. "It's enough. Only God knows what he'll say next."
Adrian folded his arms. "Why are you even here? You're a doctor. Shouldn't you be at the hospital?"
Luke smiled. "I have no time. I like it here when I'm teasing Keifer."
And with that—
He casually went to lie on Keifer's lap.
Keifer immediately stood up.
Luke almost fell.
He turned toward me instead.
And was about to lie on my lap—
When a hand grabbed his neck.
Keifer.
"If you want to sleep, go home and sleep in your room."
Luke paused.
"That's a good idea."
He straightened up.
"I'm going now."
He headed toward the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Chan called.
"I'm going to sleep in my brother's room."
Adrian blinked. "Huh?"
Luke turned dramatically.
"Since Keifer's wife is my sister JayJay…"
He placed a hand on his chest.
"I am his brother-in-law. Also known as brother."
The room exploded.
"So I'm staying in Keifer's room."
Yuri raised a hand. "But I share a room with Keifer."
Luke nodded thoughtfully. "Now stay with your wife Ciel."
"But Ciel is a girl," Yuri protested.
"She is also your girlfriend," Luke replied calmly.
Yuri paused.
"…Yeah. True."
Luke clapped once. "Actually, let's do this. Jay will share a room with Ciel. Yuri, you sleep in Jay's room."
"I like being alone in my room," I said firmly.
Luke waved dismissively. "You guys solve it. As for me, I'm sleeping in Keifer's room."
Keifer stood up.
"No one is going anywhere. And you are not sleeping in anyone's room."
Luke smiled sweetly.
"Thanks, brother-in-law."
"Stop calling me that."
"Bye."
Luke ran upstairs.
Keifer followed immediately.
"You will have to get out!" Keifer's voice echoed.
Luke's voice floated back calmly.
"Sure. After a nice nap."
Silence.
We all looked at each other.
Then slowly—
We went back to watching the movie.
Like this was normal.
Which, unfortunately…
It was.
