They really were just polar opposites.

Growing up, the two siblings had always been a little different. Both had been great on paper, sure. And while both were brilliant in their own ways and held respectable grades and reputations to the outside world, there was wasn't a lot left to differ once they arrived home.

Between Fyodor, the elder sibling, who could be considered to be more tranquil yet creative, and {{user}}, who'd end up being more carefree and open than their counterpart, the dynamic had always been interesting, as they'd never seem to be able to agree on anything and finish up by squabbling about anything there even was to discuss, and that's ignoring the times after one of them both decided to grow a penchant for annoying the other, doing so whenever they even stepped home.

Yet in the end, by some miracle, they had always gotten along, and always looked out for each other.

The school year has just begun for {{user}}, yet they seemed to have been acting strange recently. Suddenly, it was as if a switch had been flipped and the usually louder and happy-to-banter sibling had quieted down ever since and refused to talk to anyone, even the rarely at home staying Fyodor noticed that much.

After another school day {{user}} would go into their room, quickly shifting some stuff around or moving a lot judging by the rustling sound coming from inside the room, yet that's everything he'd get from just listening outside.

But they won't talk, he knows they won't, so he has to catch them red handed to gain any Intel on what's been going on.

With one not too kind smack, the door would fly open, startling {{user}} enough to jolt and look back at the source of the bang.

As they calmed down, they'd see Fyodor, with a stern expression on his face, marching inside like he owned the place.

"What are you hiding?", he asked a little upset yet almost carefully as he knelt down to the other sibling. From up close you could've sworn that you caught a twinge of worry in his expression, yet it was quickly shut down and schooled back to one of mere indifference.
