Charles started to giggle, a truly innocent smile forming on his face, "You'll understand later... maybe," Charles's wholesomeness was immediately replaced with a perverted smirk, "On second thought... can I at least tell cute little (Y/N) about my part, pleaaase? Maybe it'll make her drop her panties for me, even if it's just a pity fuck~"

"I've now lost interest in whatever the hell you're talking abo-"

"-Fine. Your part only," Henry closed his eyes for a second, but otherwise didn't show any outright reaction to Charles's sudden shift in mood or what he said. Maybe Charles acted like that a lot?

"Yayy~! Thank you daddy!" Charles gave Henry a small kiss on the cheek {who promptly wiped the area of contact with a cleaning wipe}, and clearing his throat for theatrical purpose, he began, "Soooo, when I was still in my daddy's womb, daddy decided to do some genetic experiments! Oh, don't worry, it was my other daddy who carried me. Not chemist daddy~! Anyways, chemist daddy decided he wanted to try to make it so his kids would be unlikely to have mental illness since both he and my other daddy are bipolar! It just so happened I was the first triplet-"

"Ahh, hold on. Triplets? This is the first I'm hearing of this. Also, what the hell does this have to do with literally anything?" You interrupted Charles, a bit confused. Who the hell were Charles's other siblings? He'd never mentioned them before, so did they not go to Hope's Peak College Program? And also... what the hell was he talking about anyways? Why was this relevant to the present?

"It has a lot to do with how he acts today, so listen since you requested context... Charles is in a set of triplets. The identity of the other two do not concern you," Henry spoke curtly, glancing at Charles for just a split second. It seemed to be a brief {but effective} warning to the biologist to keep his mouth shut about who his siblings were.

"Kinky... I have to keep a secret~" Charles moaned a bit loudly, winking at you flirtatiously before continuing his story, "Ahem... yeah. I was the first triplet chemist daddy experimented on by chance. Aw... but my daddy made such a bad mistake since he's not a cute biologist like me~"

Charles walked over to Henry and gently made him look into Charles's eyes by grabbing his chin. Henry simply pushed Charles's hand away, "Stop flirting with me and tell your story."

"Fine... I'll get my fun later~" Charles chuckled to himself before turning his attention back to you, "Haha... my daddy messed up because he can't genetically engineer anything, especially a human- I'll have to punish him later~ Turns out he accidentally made it so I was super likely to have chronic depression that most likely can't be cured or treated, even with medication~! Ahh, I feel like all the pain I've ever wanted to feel still isn't strong enough~!! I want to suffer mo-"

"-On top of his likely incurable depression, Charles can only express his depression as sexual thoughts and desires. He says it's like how some people laugh when they're mad, except the impact is much worse. I wanted to attempt to correct my error, but it was risky because I could just make the problem worse or potentially kill Charles, so I chose to leave his genes the way they were afterwards," Henry finished Charles's story for him in a much more condensed way. It was more boring that way, but also way less of a pain in the ass.

"So... that's why Charles is so..." Shuichi trailed off, not wanting to insult Charles directly to his face like that.

"Yes. It's why he appears as a sex addicted pervert," Henry stated matter-of-factly. It was a little unsettling to hear Charles's own dad use such an emotionless tone of voice when talking about Charles, but you had to remind yourself that that's how Henry always talked. If anything, he was using more emotion than usual but it still wasn't much. He also seemed to be speaking more, too.

"...Well then, that's... something," You awkwardly commented, not sure how you were supposed to react. Charles just chuckled, winking at you.

"You wanna fuck me now, cutie~? I'll be so rough all you can-"

"How about no? Sorry, virginity's pretty cool," You quickly shrugged off the pervert. You wondered if he was feeling depressed right now, but that didn't matter to you as of right now. What mattered more to you was keeping yourself safe from him and making sure he didn't try to do anything weird to you. If he tried... Henry would at least be there to stop him, right? For now, anyways.

"I'm pretty sure I can change that mindset of yours pretty quickly if I had my way~" Charles smirked at you, making you cringe.

"Charles, she said no," Henry sighed, grabbing Charles's arm as a way of warning.

"Wait... where did Simon go?" Shuichi suddenly spoke up, looking around.

"Eh?" You looked around, confirming that Simon was no longer nearby in the area. Weird. He didn't seem like the kind of person to disappear like that? Well, you also didn't know him very well, "Maybe he got distracted by a friend or something."

"Maybe," Shuichi awkwardly chuckled, and your attention was immediately brought back to the scientists when Charles let out a loud moan. You whirled your head around to see that Charles was attempting to pin Henry to the wall, but the chemist was putting up a fight. Evetually, he was the one who had Charles restrained.

"Stay off of me," Henry commanded in his usual monotone voice, and he released Charles after that. Charles just moaned again, which Henry ignored, "Sorry. Charles is out of control today."

"I can see that," You commented, unconsciously sort of hiding behind Shuichi just a little out of fear of Charles. Shuichi took note of your sudden unconscious trust in his guardianship, though he made very little outward sign of this other than slightly moving his body so it kind of shielded you.

"Daddyyy~ Can't we share your part too? You might get a pity fuck~" Charles gave Henry a suggestive smirk, to which Henry just sighed.

"No."

Charles pouted like a child, crossing his arms, "But you've been soooo busy lately! You need a good ol' fuck to get your mind off of things!"

"No, I need to finish my project to get my mind off of it. Then I'll start a new one," Henry blankly stated.

"That doesn't sound the most healthy. My apologies for being so invasive and making suggestions for your lifestyle, but constant work is not healthy," Simon appeared from seemingly nowhere, concern in his voice.

"Simon! Where were you?" You asked, making the lawyer tug at his bowtie just a little. Interesting, it seemed like a nervous tick.

"My apologies, I was notified that there was a potential work-related emergency and that I had to solve it right away. However, on my way out the door I was notified that it was a false alarm and to ignore the first message," Simon explained.

"That sounds like they're at least on top of their stuff, but that they panicked too easily..." You mumbled.

"Yeah," Shuichi agreed.

"It's fine! My work is a bit erratic sometimes," Simon laughed a bit, his voice just ever so slightly strained and hoarse. Did he just get done yelling or something? That seemed out of character for him... but then again, you didn't know him that well.

"Huh? Simon, are you okay?" Henry looked at Simon oddly as if he could tell something was wrong.

"Maybe he needs to have some fun with-"

"Your voice is a bit strained, so I was just curious," Henry added more to his concern, seemingly doing it on purpose to drown out Charles.

"Oh, my throat is a bit sore. I might be coming down with a cold. My apologies to make you worry!" Simon gave Henry a small smile, giggling just a little. Henry cautiously eyed Simon for a few seconds before choosing to move on.

"Okay. Charles, behave," Henry warned, glaring at Charles. He just winked at Henry, giving another flirtatious smirk.

"...This is just chaos," You awkardly commented, looking over to Shuichi who was watching everything unfold with you.

"Yeah... do you want to go somewhere more quiet?" Shuichi asked, and you nodded.

"Um, yeah. They're starting to get pretty crazy," You laughed a little, Shuichi agreeing with you. The two of you chose to go to a more secluded area of the classroom, sitting with just the two of you.

"So uh... how are you?" You chose a really awkward way to start the conversation.

"I'm good... you?" Shuichi played along. You groaned at how mundane and awkward this conversation already was.

"Okay, that's a bad way to start this conversation. How about... what's your class after homeroom ends in like ten minutes?" You prompted, hoping that a better conversation would start because of it.

"Let me check," Shuichi took the paper that had his schedule out of his pocket and scanned the paper for a few seconds before he spoke, "AP Physics."

"Really? I have uh..." You took out your phone and sighed, "Wow. GenEd history only ten minutes after this class ends. The history building's like all the way on the other side of campus, that's just painful!"

"You'll make it," Shuichi attempted to comfort you, giving you a small smile.

"Hopefully. Just don't try to like... talk to me right after this class ends," You laughed a bit, and Shuichi joined in with a small chuckle of his own.

"That's just mean," Shuichi 'pouted,' seeming ever so slightly offended that you would assume he'd do that to you.

The two of you made small chit chat until the class ended, unaware that two scientists and a lawyer were actually watching from afar and commenting on how the two of you seemed like the perfect couple material. Well... it was more like Charles gushing about wanting to have a threesome while Simon commented that you'd be a cute couple and Henry was just silent.

Once class was over, you immediately started rushing over to the history building, not wanting to be late to class. By the time you'd managed to finally get to the history building, there were only a dreadful three minutes left until class started. You literally ran to the elevator in the lobby, not caring about anything else except not being late. However, the elevator seemed to have other plans for you as it didn't seem to be coming down any second and now you only had two minutes left until class started! Imagine being late on the first day!

Just as you were about to start looking for the stairs, the elevator opened... to reveal a GIANT crowd of people crammed inside. They all slowly filed out one at a time, not caring about the time crunch you were in whatsoever. They carelessly filed out one at a time, and although you wanted to urge them to go faster you didn't because that was rude. You were already a minute late to class by the time you'd managed to even get inside the elevator... and that was nowhere near the end of your journey. You still had to get to the second floor where your class was and find room #2421, which you had no idea how difficult that would be.

"Come on, come on!! Go faster, stupid elevator!" You grumbled, waiting impatiently for it to reach just the second floor. Did a snail happen to control this particular elevator? Because that's what it seemed like.

"Ahh, finally!!" You gasped once the elevator finally opened to reveal the second floor, and you immediately sprinted out of the elevator and looked at the room numbers around you. Rooms 2121, 2122, 2123, and 2124 were the closest four to you... meaning that this might be a bit of a long journey.

"Come on... where is it?! Where is it?!" You groaned, wildly looking around for your class. You'd completely forgotten that in your phone you'd stored exact directions to your classroom in your panic, which caused you a lot of useless wandering for the next ten minutes. When you'd finally found your classroom, you felt yourself pause. This was going to be one awkward situation...

"Who are you?" a lady snarled at you.

"Um... is this GenEd histo-"

"Sit down and shut up. You're annoying enough that you interrupted my lesson. Anyways..."

The teacher started continuing her lesson, making it clear that she was a bitch of a teacher. You only found out her name by asking a stranger next to you, who informed you that she was Mrs. Smith. Her name should've been Mrs. SourAsshole. How the hell were you going to endure an entire year of her history class?! And how come this bitch got hired, anyways? Sure, the college program was relatively new, but it was Hope's Peak! Surely there'd be no need for them to hire such a bitch when they could find a nicer staff member that the students would like more and give them more encouragement to keep going? Well, maybe they just didn't care or she seemed nice. Maybe she was actually an Ultimate and they were basically hiring her as a courtesy- who could know?

Whew! Yes.... I am very well aware of the fact it's been nearly a month since I've updated and this chapter is short.

At first it was out of sheer laziness that I didn't update, then my brother and sister came over for the holidays and they were more chatty than I'd expected. However, once the holidays were over I was going to start writing again... but my mouth had other plans for me. My wisdom teeth have been coming in for a few months, but recently they've been hurting so badly to the point I can barely eat or speak without having intense pain, so my dad scheduled another dentist appointment. It turns out that my wisdom teeth are growing in at an angle instead of straight up, and they referred me to an oral surgeon. We're supposed to wait a few days for them to send my X-ray to the oral surgeon and then give them a call to schedule an appointment, but I'm guessing it's probably going to happen within the next few weeks.

So... that's just what's been going on lately. I'll try to post at least one more chapter before I get my wisdom teeth pulled because I have a feeling I'm probably not gonna be up to doing much writing for a while after. Just a feeling '-'
