Sniplet 3. "Kir, He's Your Nephew"

Sometimes Kir doesn’t know how his love life got so bad. He supposed he is the cursed one in this family. Not good enough for a single wonderful love, like Arianna or Danill, not beautiful and charming enough to have many loves, like Esfir, he is not really suitable for any sort of relationship that lasts long or is with anyone decent. Everyone he loves is awful, and this is a universal truth. 
The first person he ever loved was married, and much older than him, and left him, left him always. Kir does not remember much of him. And then there is Thaurivaul, in college, and they spent many hours together, intertwined, before Kir realizes that he is using him for all that he has. Kir does not date for a while after that. The next person he sees is the vampire, Aderus (if that was even his real name), who flits into and out of his life, hardly seen at all and yet changing him forever.
Leaving him with this curse.
He honestly thought that he could change Illiam. And that Illiam could change him. Because that’s what had happened to his brother, right? He’d been brought over to the side of good with the power of song, and maybe the power of love would be enough to make Illiam A Good Person.
But there are two facts that change all that, and the first is that Kir himself is not A Good Person, and the second is that Illiam is not his brother, and no matter how many Orredmas masses they go to together or how many times they kiss and discuss Illiam’s changing ways or Kir twists his words so that there is not even a mention of a lie to his family, Illiam will still be heart-rotten awful, a bad, bad person.
And now there is Markus. Sometimes Kir does not think that Markus is really a bad person, and then something drops from his lips like “my niece messel” or “soulless scum” and Kir smiles, because he knows that the forces of the universe still work as usual, and he still can only love awful people.

Author's Notes: 
Markus is horrible. That's the only note we need.
No, actually, let's talk more about this story. It's a short character exploration, which is fine. I think it works best as a prologue to the Tavis/Kir (Tavkir) stories in which Kir dates someone who is awful and good and it is okay.
