A few months had passed and Caesar was already 16 years old. He was excited to hit that age before but now, it was the least of his concerns.

"Here you go Caesar, I fixed the eye patch for you." The blonde girl showed him the eyepatch, which now had a heart on the inside. It said the words "never forget."

"It's adorable. Thank you Aphrodite." He smiled as they sat on the grass. The girl wanted to go on a picnic. Caesar was not one to like the summer heat but, he clearly didn't mind if he was with her.

"I'll put it on for you let me do it."

She was fixing the eyepatch around his eye gently.

His lone eye met her visible cleavage from the low rise of her shirt.

He blushed madly, he figured she had done so on purpose so he could see.

"It's done!" She smiled.

"Oh before I forget! I made chocolate cake. Maybe you would like to try it."

"Of course I would Caesar!"

The boy smiled and took out a slice he had placed in a container. It was neatly wrapped.

"Here." He held it out towards her, blushing slightly.

Aphrodite happily took it and ate some.

"Oh Caesar! The cakes you make are so good! Maybe you should become a baker."

Caesar blushed and looked away a bit. "I want to be a theatre actor..does she not care?" He thought to himself.

"I know you want to do theatre but make you can be a baker as well!"

She giggled and hugged onto his arm.

"Mm. You're right..I might think about it."

He reassured her so she wouldn't say anything else about it.

The girl leaned in to kiss him and he accepted it.

He held her close and didn't stop the kiss.

"Mmm." Aphrodite moved her hands along his chest, and Caesar ran his hands through her hair.

Eventually the two were laying on the blanket, kissing more sensually.

The boy kissed her neck gently, leaving small, careful kisses.

"Caesar." She held his head there gently, running a hand through his soft, white hair.

"Don't stop, please."

He slowly moved his hand under her shirt, cupping one of her covered breasts gently.

She gasped lightly as he began to feel on it.

"N-not there Caesar."

The boy smirked lightly, remembering when he had begged of her, the same thing.

"Why not? Your skin is really soft and wonderful. I couldn't help myself, when you're basically begging me to see." He lifted her shirt up gently.

Aphrodite blushed, "what's gotten into him? He's teasing me so much."

He ran his tongue over the visible part of her chest, above her bra.

"C-Caesar w-wait."

"I don't want to." He bit her softly and teasingly.

The girl gasped and moaned.

Caesar stopped, putting her shirt back down, and began laughing in amusement.

"W-what's so funny?"

"You're just really cute when you're begging."

The girl turned red, not expecting him to say such a thing. She didn't want to be cute. She wanted to be called beautiful.

"Is that so?" She smirked lightly, looking into his lone blue eye giving a somewhat cold gaze.

"Yes. It is. You're adorable." He smirked arrogantly.

"Fiiinnneee. I'll be cute this time." She pouted.

He laughed once again and got up.

"Anyways, it's getting late Aphrodite, I should take you home."

"Mm! Thank you." She smiled.

"I'm happy we've been spending time together," Caesar was genuinely happy.

Aphrodite stayed quiet for a bit and looked at the sunset.

Caesar noticed, "is something wrong Aphrodite?"

She looked up at him and smiled, "It's nothing. I'm just a bit tired that's all."

"Ah then it really is about time I take you home."

He picked her up on his back and started walking.

Aphrodite rested her head against his back, smiling lightly.

Later That Evening

"Ah Gaius! You're finally home."

"Hmm? What is it dad?"

"You have a visitor waiting in the dining room."

"Hmm? A visitor? Brutus?"

"He went on the field trip with the twins. He will be back soon."

"Then who?"

"You'll see." He smiled at his son genuinely.

Caesar walked into the kitchen and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Oh Gaius! It's been a long time!" A blue-eyed woman with long, white-locks, held onto him.

"Mom!" He held her close, tears forming in his eyes.

"Forgive me for not visiting any sooner." She wiped the tears from her eyes.

"It's okay mom. I know you've been busy."

"Are the twins still upset about it?"

"Mm..they still don't completely understand, but one day they will."

"I'm glad that your father is doing well. His new wife is beautiful." Her face was sparkling.

"But you are too mom," he blushed lightly.

She giggled, "oh Gaius. You've changed. You used to be so quiet."

"Are you doing better mom? With the depression."

"I've got it under control now! I'll visit you as soon as I can next time but now, I have to go back to work. I'll return soon." She got up.

"Oh and I heard about Aphrodite. Sometimes, you have to see past someone's looks."

She kissed his forehead and started walking. "Goodnight Gaius."

"Goodnight Mom.." He looked away a bit, wondering why they hated her so much. She made mistakes before but, his relationship had been perfect lately. Or maybe too perfect.

The boy was having his doubts now but, he trusted her.

A while later, he texted his girlfriend saying that he saw his mother after a long time, and also that his new script was coming along great.

The girl did read the message but, she was occupied with something else.

She looked at her phone again, as she covered her bare chest.

"What is it Aphrodite?"

She put her phone down and turned to face the voice who spoke to her.

The male put a hand on her face gently. It was the same boy who had gotten in a fight with Caesar. The same boy, who she claimed she did not love.

"It's nothing. Caesar texted me." She smiled at him.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Not yet. Just let me handle this. I can't just leave him.."

She snuggled against the older male and fell asleep; the silver locket Caesar had given her, around her neck.

Late November

Caesar woke up in the morning in a bad mood.

"Nii-chan finally you woke up!" The twins looked at him as he sat up.

"Shut up. I don't remember asking you two to come in here."

He held his head lightly.

"Nii-chan! Stop being so mean! We always wake you up like this."

"And it always annoys the hell out of me."

The three began arguing about nothing. They were spewing nonsense at each other.

"Woah what's going on here. Gaius explain."

His father looked at him with concern.

"I don't know.."

"What do you mean you don't know?! You can't just wake up and decide to fight with them."

"I said I don't know! "

"Gaius! Again! You're raising your tone against me."

"I'm not raising my tone!

"Gaius..how many times have I told you not to-"

"I ut ne stercore." ("I don't give a shit.")

His dad's eyes widened, never has his son cursed in Latin, more so in front of his own father.

"You're grounded Gaius."

"But dad I.."

"How dare you speak that in front of the twins. You better wash that mouth with soap."

"Well then fuck you too." He went back up the stairs, slamming the door to his room behind him.

"Daddy..why is Nii-chan in a bad mood? He never says those things."

Bianchi was comforting Nel, who began crying.

"I don't know...but it seems like..something is bound to happen to his relationship..."

He sighed in annoyance.

"He's already broken the relationship between all of us, including Brutus.."

And just as winter was fast approaching, so was a new frozen heart...

Notes: I don't know if what Caesar said in Latin was accurate because of google translate. But it gives an idea xD

Aphrodite has definitely messed him up.
