Rachel's P.O.V.

Caesar and I were worried about Octavian.

Caesar had a very cheerful personality, which I believe that he inherited from Apollo, because I've met his parents and both are more sour than the vinegar. He was always happy, which was a change into our lives because he'd make us laugh during the first weeks. But, lately and as much we adore him, that was getting a little annoying. But we couldn't tell him that, though. We'll break him.

Though, he did admitted to me that he was mostly doing it because he thought it'd be a good way for Octavian to see the good side of life. I accepted, though I see how much Octavian longs for alone time. He's always taking showers, longer and longer everytime, but I let him, because that's his way to let it out.

"Good morning, sister!" Caesar greeted me when I walked into the kitchen, Umbreon on my tail when Octavian walked into the shower. I smirked at his greeting, because he was convinced that Octavian and I were ending up getting married "Good morning to you too, Umbreon!" he kneeled down, petting our puppy, who turned out to be the spoiled one of the family.

"Good morning, little brother" I smiled back at him, putting some pancakes into Octavian's plate, as well as some orange juice for him to drink. Since I work during the weekends, I take care of Caesar during the week days "You ready for school?" He groaned, making me chuckle "Caesar... You have to finish school... I know you hate it, heck, I hated school!" I admitted to him, combing his hair. He pouted and pushes his hand away, gently.

"Yes, Mom" he mocked me. I rolled my eyes, but I sipped my coffee in silence, watching him eat. Then, he tilted his head, smiling "Dad!" I laughed at his greeting at Octavian, who groaned and sat next to me "Tell her school is a waste of time!"

"Don't. Don't get me in your arguments" he grumbled, while eating his pancakes. Caesar noticed his mood swings and shut his mouth, drinking his juice.

"Are you feeling better, baby?" I tried to sooth him, placing my hand over his shoulder. He tensed, but offered me a genuine smile. I smiled back and kissed his forehead, to un-tensed him. He closed his eyes, enjoying my caress.

"Much better now..." he whispered, kissing me lightly. I smiled and kissed him back, earning a gag from Caesar.

"My virgin eyes!" he joked, covering his eyes. I chuckled when Octavian hugged me, possessively. Not that I minded.

"Caesar, go get ready for school. Umbreon, go get your leash. And you..." I ordered around, making Caesar and Umbreon leave the kitchen before turing to Octavian "You're gonna hug me, tell me you love me and kiss me before going to work" I smiled at him, knowing he'd be more relax or compelling about this job he hates so much.

"I love you" he mumbled, kissing me. I kissed back, happy, hugging his neck closer to me. He pulled back, still smiling "Can we talk when we get back?"

"You don't need to ask me" I assured him "After dinner, come to my room" I winked at him, joking a little with him. He smirked and kissed my forehead before grabbing his keys and leaving the apartment for his shift.

"You two are too mushy for my taste" I heard Caesar behind me, making me roll my eyes and turn to him and watch him standing there, next to Umbreon, who was carrying his leash on his mouth.

"The day you get a girlfriend, you'll understand the feeling" I explained to him, grabbing Umbreon's leash and placed it on his collar "Ready?"

"For what's worth for..." he sighed, placing his bag over his shoulder. I nodded and we walked out of the apartment towards Caesar's new school "Hey, listen... I need to ask you something..."

"If it is about me doing your school homework, then think again, young man. Because I ain't gonna help you" I answered, smirking at him, Umbreon's leash in my hand.

"Is not about that... Is about Octavian..." I paid attention at his words "I think he's fighting with his old self"

"You think he's still fighting his demons?" I asked, worried about him "I mean, I already knew he hated his job, but go back to his ways..."

"I'm worried about him too... I know I'm getting annoyed for him. He doesn't want to admit it, but I can see it in his eyes" I hugged him over his shoulders.

"Caesar Alexander, your brother adores you" I stated, not even doubting it "Maybe, he has problems admitting it or even expressing it, but I don't doubt for a second that Octavian cares about you"

"But, I'm annoying to him, am I?" I didn't want to lie to him, so I placed my thumb and my index finger just a little away "Fine, I'll stop"

"Just, tune it down a little bit" I recommended to him. I left Caesar on his school and, began walking around with Umbreon, thinking and stuff. I walked pass a building full with offices and stuff when a couple of men dressed in suit, arguing.

"It's the fifth assistant this week!" The first man was complaining, throwing his arms in the air "How can people be stupid at shredding papers and-" he stopped talking, grasping his hair "You're pushing them around all the time, making them quit!" he accused the other man, who glared back at him.

"Don't you dare raise your tone at me, Jack" the other man "I'm the owner of this place, the funder of this company! If I say the assistant is incompetent, then it's incompetent!"

"But-"

"Excuse me, gentlemen" I interrupted them, kindly "My name is Rac-"

"Get to the point, girl" the second man cut me. I frowned, but sighed.

"I think I have the perfect assistant for your company"
