There would be less fanfare if the apocalypse had happened, Alexei was convinced. Perhaps fanfare wasn't exactly the right word to describe the palpable tension that buzzed in the air, but Alexei wasn't sure that his vocabulary currently contained an alternative. He'd tried to avoid his older brother for as long as possible, even going so far as turning off his phone though Alexei knew full well that it would likely get under Viktor's skin (he had a talent for annoying in a way that only a sibling could,) but a day had passed and he'd figured that it was time, in fact, to put them both out of their misery.
"Okay, let's have it," he announced, sauntering into his brother's office without so much as a greeting. "I know you're steaming about all the things that went wrong and all the things that could have gone wrong and all of the things that will one day go wrong. So, lay it on me. How'd I fail the great one this time?"
