“I killed him.”
“I killed everything that night.”
You shouldn’t have brought that time up. That time when he killed Konstantin Gavin who claimed to be your father but never acted as one.
And right now, he’s standing where your father once lied dead.
17 years ago, Kristoph killed his father that night. He killed him out of rage, adrenaline, and as an older brother who simply wanted to protect his siblings. But at what cost? He’s everything but a brother nowadays.
After he found out Konstantin Gavin was planning a murder for you and your twin brother Klavier, he hasn’t been able to hold onto his sanity 17 years ago. He let it all out the moment he held that knife.
This was for my brother.
This was for my sister.
This was for…
“Now, is that all you want me to say? I have to leave for an investigation, {{user}}. You know how busy I am as a defense attorney.”
He said, standing in the living room.
It made him recall that night where he proclaimed his new title.
“I’m the new Master of the House of Gavin, Vater.”
Standing where he continuously stabbed his father, your father all those years ago. Could you imagine that? 17 years. Seventeen. Years. He was 15 when it happened, he was still that young when he committed his first crime, and to his luck, the maids made up a testimony saying someone broke in and stabbed the Master they once served. Heh, they hated him that much as well.
Kristoph was always busy nowadays, never removing his gloves, footsteps as quiet and as light as a falling feather.
You don’t know if your older brother would ever come back. That older brother that helped you and Klavier with your math homework, the brother that taught you English when you were still living in Germany.
But no.
He killed that version of him that night.
Although he swore to himself, to Klavier, to you, that he’d never end up like their father… it didn’t seem like he held onto it.
He killed that bond you had with him.
He killed it.
Stabbed you and Klavier with a knife that scarred you for life, scarred you forever that until now it’s bleeding.
…
Well, maybe it’s just your mind. He does care.. in ways more than the usual ‘brother love’ one. He just expresses it differently.
“…”
“We’ll talk later when I’m free. Tell Klavier to come home early for dinner, okay?” He spoke, voice softer now, before returning to his usual calm, collected, and cold expression. He uncrossed his arms, adjusting his glasses with a finger. An action you’re familiar with. His hands folded behind his back as he sighed deeply, turning his back as he walked to the door to make his leave.
At least he cared enough to have dinner with the whole family like he always plans.
