Yuri Briar wasn 't stupid.

He knew Yor better than anyone, even if she didn 't realize it. That 's why, to him, this marriage always seemed so off.

Sure, Loid Forger was an okay guy, his brief investigations had found nothing on him, and yet, his police intuition kept telling him there was

something

about the guy, something he didn 't quite know, but he sensed.

At the very least, he knew that those two weren 't in love. He 'd seen it from their first meeting. They barely looked at each other, and Loid Forger 's words and promises sounded so empty, clearly a lie.

For the most part, he decided to leave them alone, mainly to avoid upsetting his sister, but after that 'accident ', he couldn 't just sit and do nothing. He needed to make sure his sister was safe.

That 's why he had installed himself in their apartment.

It was uncomfortable for everyone, including him. That huge dog kept sniffing him and harassing him during every meal. Chihuahua girl was the noisiest, most annoying thing in the whole world. He couldn 't understand how and why Yor put up with her. Loid was always polite, but his eyes revealed utter coldness and annoyance. And then there was his poor sister, who was just mortified he was causing so much trouble.

It was obvious all the residents hated having him there, but there was something he needed to know.

So, he did what he did best 'observe patiently.

His whole focus was on the couple and how they interacted with each other. Was there animosity between them? Was there any fear? Or perhaps bitterness or boredom? His main question 'what were they to each other?

Yuri thought that the best way to do this was to treat this as if he was at work surveilling a suspect. He wouldn 't be able to write notes while watching or listening, like he did at work, but he had a good memory and decided to take mental notes. Yes, it was the only way his feelings wouldn 't get in the way. So, he named this case:

The Forger Report

Morning:

Loid Forger wakes up early and prepares breakfast quietly every morning.

The minute Yor emerges from their bedroom, still wearing her pajamas, he lifts his eyes and asks her how she 's feeling. Yor smiles and blushes lightly, before answering she feels better. Yor greets me too, but her tone is slightly different from the one she uses with Loid.

Loid always serves her first, making eye contact as he places the meal on the table, lingering just for a second, before serving Anya and me last (what an asshole). If his lazy spawn isn 't awake, he goes to wake her up. If she is already there, he goes back to the kitchen to get his own plate.

Yor always follows him with her eyes; unwilling to start eating until he sits at the table too.

Yor 's plate is always the one with most food and the one with the best presentation. Sometimes, it even has a tiny flower that makes Yor smile (Loid Forger is an annoying show off).

After breakfast, Yor changes into regular clothes and insists on walking Chihuahua girl to the bus stop, regardless of Loid 's and my own protests (she should rest!). But Yor always walks out the door with her family.

I follow them a few of times. They both hold Anya 's hand, and walk slowly, aware of Yor 's recovering body (good). Loid and Yor take turns to remind Anya to do her best at school, to listen to her teachers, and to get along with her classmates (she is most likely a problematic child).

At the bus stop, Yor crouches carefully to kiss the girl 's forehead and fix her hair. Both parents bid her a good day and Chihuahua girl waves at them from the bus 's window.

Loid Forger does NOT go straight to work from there (lazy bastard).

After the bus leaves, he holds Yor 's hand and walks her back to the entrance of their building (Good. She shouldn 't be alone on the street after that car hit her). There, he whispers something in Yor 's ear (couldn 't hear it), but it makes Yor blush (probably something too disgusting for my sweet sister 's ears). She whispers something in return (uh?). Then Yor grabs his face with both hands and kisses him. (

She

kissed him?!).

They spend a few minutes kissing and whispering, looking into each other 's eyes and kissing some more, until one of the nosy neighbors says good morning (thank God! This is torture.)

After that Forger pervert leaves to go to work (finally!), Yor goes back to the apartment.

I leave for work too.

Evening:

I come back before Loid and Chihuahua girl. (I get to be with my sweet sister!)

We talk and joke around, just like the old times. (I feel so happy. Maybe I should move in.)

Loid Forger arrives shortly after. (Way to interrupt, asshole.) He brings cake.

Yor smiles happy to see him, even though he 's only been gone a few hours (really, Yor?).

Loid goes into the kitchen to leave the cake and Yor discreetly follows him.

I pretend to read the newspaper, but I glance at her. She goes in the kitchen to kiss that asshole. (No, Yor! Why?!)

This time, I 'm close enough to hear them say: 'I missed you. ' (Aghhhh!)

Chihuahua girl arrives a few minutes after, and they have to stop whatever it is that they 're doing in the kitchen.

They take the dog out for a short walk. I come with them a few times, to observe their interactions.

Loid holds the dog 's leash with one hand and holds Yor 's hand with the other. Chihuahua girl offers me her hand and, somehow, I end up taking it (I just do it for my sister). Yor seems really happy.

After the walk, we come back to the apartment and Loid starts preparing dinner. Yor sneaks into the kitchen again (probably to help. She 's a great cook!).

We eat dinner afterwards. Dinner 's pretty good. (Damn it, Loidy!).

After dinner, Loid and I take turns to help Chihuahua girl with her homework and tutor her too. (She 's clearly an idiot.)

Once homework is finished, they let her watch cartoons for a while. According to Yor, they used to do it the opposite way 'first cartoons, then homework 'but that didn 't work well, so they switched with better results.

At around 20.00 hours, bedtime routine starts. They take turns to shower (I prefer to shower in the morning), read a bedtime story to Chihuahua girl, Yor cuddles with her for a bit (she 's trying to steal my dear sister from me) and then say good night to her.

Yor and Loid go back to the living room for a bit. They watch TV while cuddling on the couch (aghhh) and drink tea.

Then around 22.00 hours they go to bed.

This routine goes on for the couple of weeks I 'm here. Except for the weekends, when they have their family

ootings

outings.

End of report.

After two weeks of careful observation, Yuri Briar concluded that Loid Forger was a total pervert, who after all did care about his sweet sister.

Yuri was debating if it was time to go home or if he needed to stay longer at the Forger 's apartment, while helping Chihuahua girl with some math homework. It was his turn to tutor her that evening.

Yor opened the door of the balcony and stepped outside to get some fresh air. Loid followed her briefly.

Yuri heard some chitchat outside, a laugh here and there, and then 'nothing.

They took a long time there. It was dark and cold already, and his sister was wearing just her red sweater, no coat.

He explained multiplications to Anya for what seemed the hundredth time that week and while the girl was trying to solve them, he looked at his watch. Yor had been out on the balcony for more than 20 minutes.

Being the worrisome brother he always was, Yuri went to the coat rack to grab his sister 's coat and headed towards the balcony. However, before he could get there, Chihuahua girl talked to him:

'Mama and Papa are smooching. Uncle shouldn 't interrupt. '

Whatever

, he thought without saying a word to her, carrying on.

But the moment he stepped on the balcony; he knew he should have listened to the girl.

There, in a corner, against the brick wall of the building, was his lovely sister, being ravaged by that horrible man she called her husband.

Neither of them noticed his presence, too busy with each other 's mouths.

He 'd never seen a spectacle like that (and they were basically outdoors!).

Even though it was dark, Yuri could see she had her long legs wrapped around Loid 's waist, her red sweater scrunched up between them, while Loid rubbed her thigh with one of his hands, tightening his fingertips on her leg, and grinding himself against her

slowly

. She was totally pinned to the wall, with her arms around his neck and her hands on the back of his head, caressing his blonde hair desperately.

From that angle, Yuri couldn 't see where Loid 's other hand was. He didn 't want to know.

He froze when he heard their heavy breathing, not sure what to do. However, when a soft moan escaped Yor 's mouth, he turned around and got back inside the living room, as fast as he could, pale as a ghost.

'I told you so, ' he heard Chihuahua girl.

Slowly, he walked back to the coat rack and hang his sister 's pink coat. At least she looked warm.

When he sat back down, still a little shaky, Anya talked again:

'Becky says that when grownups start smooching a lot it means they 're getting ready to have a baby. '

Maybe it 's time for me to go back home

, Yuri thought.
