Chapter 4: A Heartbroken Artemis

Around six in the morning, Solaris came knocking at Artemis's door. The two on the bed woke and Rain Storm rushed to the door and answered while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, "Solaris? What is it?" he asked tiredly.

"What are you doing in Artemis's room? Is he here?" he demanded.

He looked back to see that Artemis had fallen back to sleep, not that he blamed him. Poor thing didn't go to sleep until 5 in the morning. Rain Storm covered his mouth as another yawn came out, he didn't sleep until thirty minutes later, so both were running on little sleep.

He stepped out and glared at the ruler, "Artemis is not feeling so well and can't perform his task. Could you be a good older brother and lower it for him?"

Solaris raised an eyebrow, "And what is wrong with him?"

Rain Storm sighed, he was not in the mood, "I'll tell you the details later, but if you must know…he has been crying most of the night and it's your fault that he is."

"My fault? How is it my fault?" he asked in slight confusion and anger.

"Just do it this once. I'll tell you later when I have gotten some sleep and he is okay?" He opened the door, putting a 'do not disturb' sign on the door handle and tossed one more glare at the sun prince. "Good night!" He said as he slammed the door in his face.

Solaris blinked, "What the hell? Okay never mess with Rain Storm in the morning and what did he mean that I'm the reason Artemis was crying? What have I done recently?" He pondered this as he went to set the moon and raise the sun.

Rain Storm leaned against the door as he gave a tired sigh, "He doesn't pay me enough."

"I thought you get paid well?" Artemis asked tiredly, rubbing one of his eyes as he sat up. "What did HE want?"

Rain Storm pointed out the window, "Your brother was wondering why you haven't set the moon yet."

Artemis jumped up; cursing that he forgot about the moon, and tried to rush to the balcony, but Rain Storm rushed towards him and forced him back down. "Relax; I got mister high and mighty to do it this time."

Artemis gave him a weak smile, "Thank you Rain Storm. I don't know what I do without you."

Rain Storm smiled back; though it looked lop-sided and tired, "That's my job as your caretaker! Now sleep." Artemis nodded and went to put on his pajamas as Rain Storm got his bed ready.

He slipped in and looked to Rain Storm, "I hate to ask this, but could you stay with me?" Rain Storm nodded and got in, making himself comfortable before singing his lullaby again (A/N: Good song that is a lullaby like is Hush Now, Quiet now), putting both of them to sleep.
