reading the alex rider books is just like
alex: yassen is my greatest enemy. my arch nemesis. he has almost killed me so many times. i’m fighting for my life out here
yassen: i keep running into this kid while on jobs and tbh he doesn’t ruin that much for me, i still get paid, but my coworkers want him dead bc he’s an smart arse that keeps insulting them and it’s getting harder to hold them back. PLEASE go home and have a normal childhood
also
alex: my greatest foil, the one i keep coming to blows with, i must defeat him before he destroys the world
yassen: *showing up in two books as the hired assassin not actually doing any world domination, just trying to do his job* what
NO but literally!!!!! Yassen is absolutely the “What’s with this sassy lost child” OPM meme.
Alex: YOU!!
Yassen: .....It is 1 PM. Shouldn’t you be in school 
He’s just a guy trying to do his job but ofc fate has other things in store for him. AKA fucking putting the child of his mentor DIRECTLY into his path.
It’s simultaneously SO FUNNY and so emotionally compromising how Yassen was straight up ordered to kill Alex and outright refuses to. But then in book 4 was also like “Anyway, here’s the bull pit. Have fun.”
oh, book!Yassen. What a guy.
