Anton Denisov

• A funny, laid-back, and the kind of outgoing person who's always slightly mischievous but still caring and there for his friends. He rarely ever gets angry, but when it actually happens, his voice goes quiet instead of loud. He's got a thick skin when it comes to his friends. If someone snaps at him, he doesn't get angry or start a fight. Instead, he just gets quietly sad, but he's quick to hide it behind a joke so nobody has to feel guilty for hurting his feelings.

• High-energy and goofy, he's a total extrovert with a loud exterior that makes him the center of attention. He often acts way more oblivious than he actually is, playing the part of the simple, funny guy while he's actually observing everything closely. He's laid-back and a little mischievous, always looking for a way to make people laugh, but he saves his best energy for his inner circle.

• Even though he's the loud one, he's still the person others turn to when they need to calm down. Even so, he keeps a lot of his own thoughts to himself,  usually hiding his worries behind jokes and humor, especially when he's feeling nervous.

Relationship with Timothy

From the second he noticed Timothy, something just felt off, though he couldn't really explain why. Timothy was quiet, shy, and awkward, totally unlike anyone Anton had ever met before. At first, he kept his distance because he wasn't sure how to act, especially while other kids were busy teasing him or trying to make things worse.

Eventually, Anton decided to approach him. He started with small talk and lighthearted jokes, hoping to help Timothy feel more included. Although Timothy was hesitant to speak at first, the moment Anton saw a small smile and heard a quiet laugh, he felt encouraged to keep trying.

As their friendship grew, they became best friends. They shared hobbies, laughed at the same things, and supported each other through the challenges of school. Timothy found comfort in having a reliable friend, and Anton took pride in standing up for him. They became a team, navigating their daily lives together with a sense of mutual respect and loyalty.

Relationship with Peter

When Anton first met Peter, he wasn't sure what to expect, as he had seen him around before.

That quiet and serious older brother was the one Timothy sometimes talked about, but he didn't know if Peter had ever really noticed him back when he was just one of the other kids. He felt a bit awkward at first, worrying about Peter might judge him, but the meeting went better than he thought. Peter trusted him because of Timothy, with those small nods and that calm presence, Anton realized he was actually being accepted into their space.

Over time, he learned how to read Peter's moods, even though it wasn't always easy to do. Peter's long silences could still make him a little nervous if they went on too long. Now that they're adults, their dynamic has turned a bit more playful. Anton likes to gently tease him, joking about Peter's small irritations or sharp reactions, though he's always careful not to push things too far.

It's never anything serious, even when Peter gets annoyed, that's how they get along. He has a deep respect for Peter because he knows how much he does for Timothy, and he's grateful for the trust Peter puts in him. Peter, in turn, tolerates Anton's loud, extroverted energy because he knows how much Anton means to his brother.

Relationship with Thomas

Anton first heard about Thomas through the other kids, who all claimed he was mean and kept to himself. For a while, Anton actually believed the rumors and felt pretty uneasy whenever Thomas's name came up. But after Timothy told him that Thomas had once stood up for him against bullies, Anton realized there was probably way more to him than people were saying.

When they finally met, Anton was surprised that Thomas wasn't mean at all, he was just quiet and awkward, barely making eye contact and often lost in his own head. In some ways, he even reminded Anton of Timothy. Their early conversations had a lot of long, awkward silences, so Anton tried to soften things up with playful smiles and jokes until Thomas eventually started smiling back.

They found an easy rhythm through music and just talking. Anton would tease him now and then with a sarcastic comment, just to catch that small, genuine reaction Thomas tried to hide. They never really argued, and Anton grew to appreciate Thomas's calm presence. Even when Thomas teased him in return, it never felt mean. They just understood each other without needing to say much at all.
