The stomping feet of Robert could be heard climbing the stairs to meet with Damian, he was spotted by Daniel who stood by his window. Once Robert was out of sight, he left his window and left for his study room. He had a dull face on and didn't like the thought that the one person to be dreaded was living in their apartment.
"KD?" He muttered bringing out an iPad, his hands were suspended on it, taking a research on the letters he just called. What popped out of his screen was a celebrity who was well known across the globe which made him bemused.
"Really? what's he doing here? And why is his twin over there?" He lamented knowing that, that man was up to no good. The thought of seeing him in Natalie's room flooded his memory as he couldn't let go of that encounter mostly when he wasn't opening up to her. Even though he tries asking Robert what they were doing there, he would just set another lie which of course Daniel was no ready to believe. He stretched his hand to his drawer and brought out a picture that had three boys smiling happily to themselves, he glared at it and then turned slightly behind where he could see three names written on it which were Damian, Daniel and lucan with a happily ever after signed at the tip.
"Guess there's no happy ever after because of you Damian" he fumed and tore his face away from the picture.
"Neither do I need you ruining my happy moments!"

"What?"
"You heard my right!"
"But she's just a weary girl who I guess has no family and barely surviving on her own" he defended as he could see that former had covered his face with a face towel.
"Robert, I can't stand her! You know how my skin reacts to unsanitized beings who touches me with their filthy hands, oh my beautiful face has to adjust to that"
Robert swallowed, every word Damian spoke, he added 'beautiful face' which got the man thinking if he was the only handsome man God had made. He wished to see the face of this man behind the towel if perhaps his guestimations about him being a viper was true however that though was aborted immediately Damian pull off the towel and inhaled deeply.
"Say something fool, you're keeping me waiting!"
"Well sir..."
"Know that if you have pity for her then think about your son, Royce right, I think he's a huge fan too" he reprimanded cutting him short and Robert winced.
"I don't think so, but the girl is a huge fan, wouldn't you show mercy to a fan?"
"Robert, why are you sounding like I'm a bad person?" He muttered in a serene bass voice as his tone was like though tears were lurking up and that was what Robert hated the most. Whenever he was away from Damian, he thanks the heavens he came out of his apartment alive and then begins to badmouth him in his house.
"Can't you see, I'm merciful that's why I said you should have her kicked out" his voice rang in Roberts ears who shook his head.
"What would I say to her?"
"I don't know come up with something..."
The doorbell unexpectedly rang and Damian ordered Robert to go and get the door which he did hastily.
"Daniel?" Robert muttered and intended to slam the door at him but he hauled the door wide open pressing the door against the frighten old man and stepping inside. Damian stride from his study room to the sitting room to get a glimpse at what was happening only to find Daniel.
"Seriously, I'm not expecting anyone, so leave" he ordered and Daniel grabbed his collar which baffled Robert. Damian chuckled and raised his hands up.
"You missed me don't you? Well I did too" he mocked and shoved Daniel's hand with his wrist, adjusted his t-shirt and sighed. He stretched his arms, faked a smile and said;
"I know you want an autograph, so relax, it will get to you"
"You know why I'm here right, stop switching the topic!" Daniel sparked and Damian chuckled while Robert rushed to get a pen for an autograph on Daniel and the weary man was kicked back. The pen flew from his hand and Damian applauded him for that act.
"Well as a generous person, what do you want? Make yourself comfortable" he started again acting like though he didn't hear Daniel.
Robert drew closer confused as he could tell that these two knew each other. Damian had taken his seat, crossed his legs and gave a stern look at daniel
"You're such a clown" he responded and Damian beckoned on Robert to clap for that compliment.
"Wow this is the best compliment you've ever told me, I must say I am flattered" he mocked and Daniel groaned. This man was such a joker as he knew the reason why Daniel was there but was just toying with him.
"So much for the reunion, Robert what do you think? Is this how neighbors treat new occupants?"
The middle aged man shook his head and tried to tell Daniel to leave at once, however his words didn't make the latter move a muscle.
"Okay, since he doesn't want to leave and because I am a good man, tell me your predicaments!" He snapped at once and Daniel suddenly brought out a paper and threw it at Damian who caught it and glanced at it. His face could tell that he wasn't shocked by what the paper's content held.
"Why are you here? Are you spying on me?" The latter asked raging with fury at these two.
The two men bursted into laughter at his assumptions and then Damian shoved his gaze at Robert who ceased immediately. He flicked his fingers and stood up to Daniel's height.
"Maybe, maybe not, this is so much fun Robert..."
"Well sir do you guys know each other?" Robert cuts in as it was getting heated up here and he might fall a victim of their wrath.
"Maybe, maybe not"
That was his reply again from Damian
