"Melanie, don't forget your music," Virgil smiled as he moved onto the piano stool from the chair he had been sitting in.

"See you next week Virgil, I'll have practised harder."

Virgil smirked, "Go on, before you're late to class again."

"That's because you always keep me back," Melanie paused by the music stand as she picked up her score, then she leant down and kissed Virgil quickly before turning away.

"That's you who does that, I'll come and meet you at the end of the day. I love you!" Virgil called as the dark haired brunette left the room swiftly, with a happy sigh he refaced the piano and unlocked his phone to check his next lesson, a text caught his attention.

"Virg, I'm in town tomorrow, come and meet me. Scott."

Virgil raised an eyebrow and replied, "Well here's an unexpected surprise brother, we haven't spoken since you decided not to carry on with International Rescue, I'll have to check my schedule."

The reply from his eldest brother was almost instant, "Don't you dare start this again, we can meet or forget it, I'm flexible."

Virgil growled, "Well some of us aren't, I'm teaching Scott. I can't give an answer yet, I'll get back to you later this evening."

"That's if you're not busy with Melanie."

Virgil tapped in Scott's number angrily and held the phone to his ear, his brother answered and Virgil growled, "Melanie has nothing to do with it Scott, and we wouldn't have all split up if it weren't for you being selfish."

"Me? I'm, the one who's selfish? I'll meet you tomorrow to sort this out."

"You had better hope I'm in a good mood, I'll meet you at midday, my apartment."

"Apartment or mansion?"

"Don't go there," Virgil looked up at the sound of a knock, "I have a student, see you tomorrow."

"I look forward to it."

Virgil hung up with a silent growl then sighed, "Come in!"

The door opened and one of Virgil's first years walked in, he smiled inside to himself at her appearance, a lot of his female students dressed very fashionably when going to him, her heeled boots echoed in the room as she walked over to the piano, "Sorry I'm late."

Virgil checked the clock on the wall, "You're on time Helen, I hope you have your music with you this time."

"Yes I do, but I've been getting stuck on the fingering."

Virgil rolled his eyes to himself, that was the oldest innuendo in the book, "Did you not follow the pattern I showed you?"

"To an extent."

Virgil motioned for her to sit on the stool, "Come on then."

The afternoon went on and Virgil finished his final lesson, he closed the piano lid with a yawn and left the piano checking the time as he got up, "And cue Mel." "Home?" Melanie smiled as he held her hand.

"Hi again Virg, everyone gone?" Melanie smiled as he hugged her.

"Yeah, what a day and it just gets better tomorrow."

"Something wrong?"

"My brother is in town."

"Which one? You have four," Melanie laughed as he nudged her playfully.

"Scott, my eldest. He owes me so much that I'm not even sure I want to meet him."

"You probably should, if you bottle up problems it could lead to much worse. What time is he coming?"

"Midday."

"Damn, I have a class," Melanie sulked slightly."You might not want to be around, it could get ugly," Virgil unlocked the car and they got in, "I'm not going to let you miss a class for my brother."

"You might not want to be around, it could get ugly," Virgil sighed, "I'm not going to let you miss a class for my brother."

Melanie looked out of the window, "So, you can't give me a lift tomorrow?"

"Hey, I don't work Tuesdays, that's the day you take the bus. Besides, you're lucky we're even together, if I hadn't decided to set up private piano tutoring, we would've never met."

"Fine, but what if it's raining?"

Virgil laughed, "How did I get stuck with someone like you?"

"Because you liked my piano playing, and found it funny when I tripped over the stool on my first lesson and fell into your lap."

"Somewhere I enjoy hugging you on every day."

Melanie blushed slightly, "You're the best, I love you Virgil," she stroked his hand.

"I love you too Melanie, my prodigy."

Melanie giggled, "I'm not that good."

"Yet."

"Virgil, get off," Melanie grinned as he ran his fingers through her hair, "Do you want a coffee?"

"I'd love one," Virgil smiled and collapsed on the sofa dramatically.

"Yeah, just make yourself comfortable."

"It's my house, free country."

Melanie rolled her eyes, "Lazy."

Virgil smirked and got out his phone, he frowned at a text from Gordon, "Hey Virgil, has Scott been in touch with you?" He read quietly to himself, then he replied, "Hey Gordo, yeah he has, he wants to meet me tomorrow."

Three dots flashed on the phone screen and it wasn't long before a reply came through, "He's got in touch with me too, says you were being an asshole."

"He's the asshole Gordon, not me. He's the one who's broken us up."

"That's not his fault, a lot happened. Dad is gone and it took a bad turn on Scott. I'm at the airport, I want to come and see you."

Virgil hit the table with his fist and Melanie ran in, "Baby, what's wrong?"

"Now Gordon is coming over. Am I to get visited by all of my brothers?"

"I don't see why you're unhappy about this, you are family after all," Melanie frowned as she handed Virgil his coffee.

"Thanks. Yeah, we are, but I'm going to have enough to deal with by having Scott here, now, Gordon, as well."

Melanie rubbed his shoulder, "Take it easy. I'm sure you'll sort this out, you always do."

Virgil sighed, "You're right, I'm just going to have to take this as it comes."
