Omniscient
"Look who woke up from their nap with all smiles, not even a little bit of crying." Cassia cooed down at Christian while entering Cepheus' room. Looking up from his phone, he gave her a small smile, watching as she made her way onto the bed to sit behind him with Christian.
"...Wait what you bringing him in here for, I thought we was bout to-."
"I wanted to." She sighed, her face contouring into a frown while staring down at Christian. "I think someone needs to go night night again." She smiled, rocking him gently. Though she knew once he was awake, there was no going back to sleep until he felt like it.
Laughing to himself, Cepheus stood to his feet to do a small stretch. Scanning his eyes over his room, they landed on a little picture that he hadn't seen before. "What's this?" He asked Cassia, picking it up to get a better look.
Peering over, she furrowed her eyebrows until realizing what exactly he was holding. "Oh, it's Crystal's class picture. She was showing me last night, and I meant to give it back to her."
Nodding his head slowly, Cepheus instantly remembered what he heard while on the phone with Cassia just a few days ago. Placing the picture down, he went over into his closet to look through his belts. He wasn't planning on actually giving her a whooping because it was uncalled for, but he found pleasure in scaring them just a little bit. Especially when it came to them being in trouble and knowing exactly why they were in trouble.
Settling on one of his thick leather ones, he smirked to himself while emerging from out of the closet. Poking his head out of his room door, he seen Crystal just making her way up the stairs with a fruit roll up in her hand that she wasn't supposed to have. "Crystal come here!" He called out, causing her to freeze and look up at him like a deer caught in headlights.
"Oh my goodness, I'll put it back I-."
"Ion care bout the fruit roll up, that's you and your momma shit. I just got to talk to you bout something." Blowing a breath out, Crystal threw her hair up into a messy bun while making her way over towards the bedroom. Cassia sat on the bed with her eyebrows furrowed, not knowing what was going on except for the fact that Crystal was eating something she wasn't supposed to be.
"Give that to me." Cassia pointed to the fruit roll up as soon as Crystal entered the room, causing her to groan and stomp her feet in a mini tantrum.
"What she do?" Cepheus asked, turning his head to look towards Cassia who was handing Christian one of his little toys.
"I told her she's only bringing 1 to school because she doesn't need more than that a day, and I caught her smuggling 5 into her backpack. Give it to me now Crystal." Throwing his head back in laughter, Cepheus took a seat on the foot of the bed while Crystal reluctantly passed the fruit roll up to Cassia.
Opening it in front of her face, Cassia pulled it from the wrapping a little bit before beginning to eat it. Only heightening Cepheus' laughing and causing Crystal to roll her eyes with clear annoyance and anger on her face.
"Look at you, wasn't trying to listen and now you don't got shit. Sit down cause I got to talk to you bout something." Cepheus pointed towards the space right next to him. Rolling her eyes, Crystal hopped onto the high bed, clearly wanting to leave out of the room and she didn't even knowing what this was about.
"Oh girl he got the leather belt out, you in troubleeee." Cassia sang, instigating the situation because she knew Cepheus wouldn't hit her. She wasn't all that sure as to what this was about either, but she had nothing better to be doing than sit and listen.
