A man with brunnete hair and blue eyes was standing beside the sink washing the dishes.

It's been a while since the ravenette had left the house...it felt lonely and less chaotic....

Why?

It was awkward....

After the 'news'......

Plus the brunnete seemed to be angry at the ravennete....

That's one of the reason he left the house to live on his own...

The sound of his phone ringing earned the brunnete's attention as he washed his hand and took his phone to see a familiar name on it.
Swiftly, not even wasting a minute the brunnete accepted the call.

"...brother..?"
The voice from the other side of the phone made the brunnete's lips curve up into a smile.

"Yes?"
He replied trying to not sound too soft.

He was still angry....

Does he not think of them as family to not even say a important thing like this...

".... let's meet"
He replied and ended the call not giving the brunnete a chance to say something.

He put his phone back on the counter with a sigh before going back to his work of washing dishes.

"This guy..."

===

The sound of the bell made the two people in the house walk towards the door to open it just to find a really familiar face.

"You're finally here..."
Helena smiled as they backed away a little to give the ravenette some space to come in.

He walked inside not forgetting to close the door.

"So... why do you wanted to meet?"
She asked.

The brunnete still didn't tried to start a conversation and so as the ravennete making the atmosphere awkward.

"Well...I figured out something..."
The ravenette scratched his nape not looking towards the two.

"Figured? What?"
The green eyed woman tilted her head.

"I...I'm sorry..."
"I realise I was being reckless and childish..."
"Sorry for not thinking about you"
He bowed apologetically making the two widen their eyes.

Is it really the brat they were with...?

Since when did he started apologizing....

The ravenette felt the touch of a warm hand rubbing on his head.

"It's not a problem....but atleast you understood why we felt mad"
Cable smiled sweetly.

Helena walked came from behind the brunnete with a chuckle.

"You can be really cute sometimes"
She said making embarassed blush formed on the side of his cheeks.

"Now...come on..."
A pout formed on his lips which made the other two giggle.

---

"So you are not gonna come back?"
The green eyed woman asked while giving coffee to the two.

The ravenette nodded.
"I have found something really amusing there"
There was a smile on his lips showing his new yearned affection for his certain roommate.

"Amusing...?"
"I thought you found a roommate annoying"
Cable asked in a confused tone as he sipped the coffee in his hand.

"Trust me. You wouldn't like to know that bro"

A shiver spread through his spine looking at his playful and harmless smile.

Something surely was wrong.....

"Who is it? Your roommate?"
He swiftly questioned.

"Who else if not Athanasia"

They are dead now.

===

"Father..?"
A head peaked inside the blonde man's office.

"It's you..."

The brunnete haired girl walked inside quietly making sure to not stumble on the hoard of papers on the ground.

She looked up towards the older person to find him looking completely weak with dark circles beneath his enchanting jewelled eyes.

Which were not enchanting anymore...

It has been like this....

After Athanasia left...

He completely drowned himself in work....

To forget about the regret maybe...?

"Can I...-"
Her words were interupted by the straight decline of her 'father'.

"I'm already tired of all the work...please don't start your useless wishes please"
His cold and sharp eyes made her flinch.

"Sure....father...."
She lowered her head and walked away the same way she came in.

The blonde man didn't bothered looking up to her from his work.

The brunnete closed the door and walked down the hall of the big mansion.

Big mansion....

But lonely....

What's the use of this big mansion when it's lonely and there is no family.

Her family died in car crash when she was just four leaving her weak and alone....

Luckily the Alpheus family suggested to take her in...but they left her when they knew that Claude's wife has gave birth to a daughter.

She was useless for them....

After that her uncle adopted her but never loved her....

She was just a spare....

If anything happened to Athanasia then she could take her place.....

She knew she would get out of this house soon too....

Luckily she spend the time of her helpless childhood....

But....

It seems like the time is near.....

Better if she would start to find a good job to earn money....

This way atleast she could take care of herself alone.....
