Charlie is the person who helped Alpha realize that he was bisexual. Alpha finds Charlie to be very physically interesting and adorable.

They enjoy each very much but struggle because of Alpha's vanity and Charlie's sensitivity. They aim to work on this, they even happily go to therapy together.

### Beta

Beta and Alpha at first dislike each other in every way. This has been the case ever since Beta was born. They seem like the complete opposites of each other. Alpha hates how messy and rude he is. Alpha hates Beta enough to not even invite him to his wedding. It is canon that Beta was extremely homophobic to him when Alpha came out that he was dating Charlie. Alpha does not trust him to be friends with his fiancé because of this. They become closer after Beta admits that he is also gay and only did that because he was afraid he wouldn't be as accepted as Alpha was. Alpha becomes protective of Beta after that, and they work on fixing their relationship. Soon enough Alpha trusts Beta enough to ask him to be his godfather to his children.

Alpha is driven to impress her, out of all the brothers he aims to help with taking care of the family. Phi can find herself being the most hard on Alpha for being the eldest. Alpha denies that she pushed him to hard even though deep inside he knows it isn't true.

### Dalton

Alpha respects his late father. Maybe people on the outside would not think this because Alpha did not grieve as much compared to the other members of his family. Alpha took his father's hard-working nature to heart and is driven to become the "man of the house" in his family. Despite looking up to his father Alpha is also terrified of him because of his bisexuality. He always wonders how his father would have reacted to his relationship.

### Haru

Though their relationship is not explored in the story Haru is Alpha's childhood friend from Japan. When the Senpai family was younger they would take trips to Japan during the summer. Alpha would love to talk about Haru about himself.

## Background

Alpha is the oldest brother born to Phi and Dalton Senpai, in 1996. Before his two twin brothers were born he was a very spoiled child. He did not like when his brother were born and acted out in a bratty way. His father and mother corrected him by pushing him the most and getting him involved with a extra that he was expected to be excellent at. This lead Alpha to form a very hardworking and perfectionist type of personality, It also helped him to form a better relationship with his family because he didn't have the energy to be rude to them.

Alpha grew up being popular and admired from both girls and guys. During his school he accomplished being the top of his class, becoming class president and prom king. Despite this Alpha always found himself not caring about making a lot of friends and a lot of his peers were either. Alpha found himself always forming professional business like relationships that other people his age caught on and found that he was strange. He become more like a above celebrity than just another teenage. During his high school years he dated two girls but never felt much of a connection. He dated them more out of obligation and of exception of that is what he was supposed to do.

During his senior year of high school he pushed himself even more to distract himself from his father being sick. He did not like being around sadness with his family. His dad told him to be the tough man he was so he did. After he died he moved on quickly and moved physically away from his family by moving away to college. He barely called or texted his brothers out of fear they would want to talk about it with him.

During his early college years he tended to isolate himself more and focus on studies. He joined a lot of clubs, most notable a fraternity but still never cared to form close relationships. This all changed when he went on a study aboard trip to Croatia.

### Shanty

In the In Bloom prequel "Shanty" it goes into detail on how Alpha met Charlie. The story location takes place in Croatia, Rijeka as Alpha goes on a summer study abroad trip. During the prequel it reveled that Alpha does not have much experiences with relationships and that he never had feelings for another man. Alpha at first finds it wrong that he liked Charlie. As he explores his feelings and reflect on dreams he has about Charlie he decided to take a chance with Charlie. They have their first kiss on a beach before Alpha goes back to America. While back in America Alpha tries to keep talking to Charlie while still hiding it while living in his family home. One day Beta implies that he knows about his relationship causing Alpha to suspect Senpai on telling him. When confrtoing Senpai, Senpai reveals that he did not tell Beta he was talking to a guy bit that he was just talking to someone. This calms Alpha down and then Alpha comes out to Senpai as gay. Senpai is unsure about but states he will always love him. He also gives advice that he could say that because Charlie is a girls name he could say that is his girlfriend. Alpha likes this idea but when telling Charlie he gets notibley tense. Days following this Charlie avoids Alpha's call and text. Alpha sets his foot down and demands that he talks to him why he is doing this, in the end Charlie explains that he is actually a trans man and that he is sorry for not telling him in the first. Alpha is caught off guard but then realizes deep down this does not change anything. Alpha then ask Charlie if he would like to be his boyfriend. They become officially together after this.

It is implied a couple years after this Charlie moves in with Alpha in America to get away from his family.

## In Bloom

In chapter five "Self Hatred" Alpha is introduced. At work, Senpai his younger brother calls him because he saw Beta, their other brother, on the TV news station. Beta at this point in the story has stolen blood donations from the hospital. Alpha is extremely dismissive and uncaring about this causing Senpai to hang up on him. It is unclear to what Alpha's immediate reaction was to this. In the next chapter "Worries", Alpha is coming home from that same busy day at work. He rants to his fiancé Charlie about this issue. Charlie encourages him to reach out to Beta and Alpha says he will think about it. In the end, Alpha decides it is not worth it.

Later in the story, during chapter "Bury Him" Alpha ends up calling Senpai to check up on him. Beta ends up picking up the phone because just minutes before Beta accidently killed Senpai. Beta ends up being able to perfectly copy Senpai's voice and trick Alpha into believing it is him. Alpha states to "Senpai" that he is glad that he did fly over to check on Beta, that he needs to be more responsible with school and his relationships and that they need to plan to try on suits together because Senpai is his best man at this wedding. Alpha stresses that he should text him the best date and hangs up without saying goodbye.

In chapter "Feed Me" Alpha is shown to be extremely annoyed with Senpai and the lack of commination between them. He wants to have his suit and everything ready so it is not last minute, Charlie suggested that they could do it together but Alpha wants to keep with tradition. Alpha then admits he is worried that Beta got Senpai in trouble and this causes Charlie to start worrying as well. Alpha gushes at Charlie's big heart for worrying about things he does not have to so he comforts him by hugging and kissing him from behind. They both express how excited the both of them are getting married to each other.

Later in chapter After news comes out about Senpai becoming missing Alpha suspects that Beta has done something to him. He becomes extremally agitated that it has caused Charlie to break down. Alpha wants to go out and find him. This causes him to have a relaxation that when they were little their mom told them to download a tracking app that permanently tell you your location. Alpha opens the app and finds out both Beta and Senpai still have the app. activated Alpha proclaim that he going to find them and bring two of his guns in case of a emergency. Alpha refuses to get the place involved because he does not trust them. This causes Charlie to have a panic attack leading Alpha to promise that he is not going to go and that they will go to the police. At night Alpha's anger and need to protect his family is so great that he breaks his promise and leaves in the middle of the night. Before going he write a note for Charlie.

In the chapter Alpha is driving down towards where the app shows Beta and Senpai. He starts to regret his decision for leaving and lying to Charlie. Before he could turn around to go back his gets a call from his mother. His mother reveals to him that Senpai was found dead buried near Beta's school. This realization sparks Alpha to keep going so he could bring Beta down.

Eventluy after a pit stop near a movie theater where three more dead bodies have been found Alpha catches up with Beta. Beta is suppososuly alone at a garbage dumb. Alpha wielding a gun insults him and punching him in the face. This turns into a fatal mistake as Fred the pumpkin monster become upset at this coming out of hiding to attack Alpha. Fred uses his powers to cut off Alpha oxygen but Beta cries to tell him to stop. Fred listens but it turns out to be pointless as Alpha with being drowsy and hurt takes a shoot to hit Fred. This bullet misses and hits Beta instead. Fred out of anger think Alpha has just murdered Beta used his powers to make Alpha shoot himself in the face. Alpha dies.

Later in the story Beta sees a version of a dead Alpha along with Senpai. It is unclear if these are ghost or Beta is just making it up. Alpha's face is completely blown off, he is unable to talk or see. Alpha is still able to hear and feels emotional. Unlike Senpai he is not mad at Beta for what happens and blame Fred. He weeps over worrying about Charlie and his fate. Beta says he is going to make sure to save Charlie and that everything was going to be ok. The both of them comfort each other with a hug much to Senpai's disapprovals. This is the last we see of Alpha until Fred reset the world to the beginning.

### Post Reset

After Beta wakes up to a world where he has never met Fred and everyone is alive Alpha has returned to his stubeen cold hearted self. Alpha's main concern is his wedding and if everything is going to go right. Alpha finds annoyance that Beta dropped out and is living with his mother. Unlike everyone who is welcoming Alpha believes that Beta is planning something and avoid him at all cost. He does not even bother coming along to pick him up at the airport.

Their first time see each other again is during the chapter where the family comes together to celebrate Thanksgiving. Alpha forces himself to go for Charlie who is very excited to have a a Thanksgiving with the whole family together. Alpha doesn't wait a minute to express his disgust to Beta as soon as they arrive. He is clearly annoyed at the fact that Beta and Charlie were getting along now. Matters only get worse when his mother ignored him and lead Charlie for Alpha to be alone with Beta. While alone Alpha states that Beta wasn't going to embarrass him today. They snap at each other more until Alpha walks away in annoyance.

Alpha goes out and cries at this thought Beta just put in his head. When beta comes out to apologize Alpha wants to hear nothing form him. This changes when Beta himself comes out to him as gay. The both of them come to an understanding with each with that.

During the last chapter of the fanfiction it is Alpha's wedding day. Alpha is very concerned about his hair and wanting everything to go right today. After giving a gift to Beta for his date he ask Beta to check up on Charlie to see if he was ok. Alpha knows Charlie well and how he would pretend to be ok for his sake so he knows Beta is the best to do this. Alpha is clearly unaware of the multiple issues that went on during his wedding but it was for the best because he had an amazing time. During his vows he felt so in love he could not even say all the words he wanted despite typically always wanting to talk a lot. He promised to share his vows later privately .

During the reception Alpha is able to get alone time with his two brothers and tell them how thankful he was that they were close now. After Senpai goes inside Beta tell Alpha that he was willing to move in with Alpha and help him with his kids.
