Imagine: Kyoya’s parents die when he is a hapless 6-10 year old. Akito and Fuyumi? In university, adults. Yuichi? Also an adult. In fact, a married adult.
So Yuichi adopts and raises Kyoya, but also has his own children. Kyoya, now the eldest, is also not really Yuichi’s actual son and his position as heir (as the last son of Yoshio and the not son of Yuichi) is even more ambiguous.
His nieces and nephews call him brother, they’re too young to understand that he’s their uncle. When they go out, everyone thinks Kyoya is the eldest son, after all, he looks like Yuichi. And Kyoya barely remembers his parents, but he remembers them enough. Enough to mourn them and enough to remember calling Yuichi big brother and enough to know that he will never really have a well defined place in his family and he’ll definitely never be heir
