The Dream Life || Revamped

Chapter 3*

"Young Master, it's time for breakfast," Triangulum told Aquarius. Aquarius groaned. He rubbed his forehead and slowly sat up. He had spent the night reading a book. It didn't help that the book was ninety-nine percent smut and one percent plot. He hated the book. He huffed as he threw the book in his trash can.

He saw Triangulum standing by the door. "Good morning, Triangulum," he yawned and stretched. He slid off the bed and walked to the door. Triangulum handed Aquarius a robe. "Thank you." Aquarius put on the robe and walked out of his room.

Aquarius was the youngest of his four. He was a junior at Saint Julian Academy, and his older brothers graduated a while ago. He huffed as he walked down the stairs. There he saw three blondes; two were identical. The three blondes were his older brothers. The oldest, Hydrus, was a lawyer. He was visiting his family for the weekend. The blonde twins were Corvus and Caelum. They both were nurses but they were getting their doctorate to become full-fledged doctors.

The twins loved making Aquarius's life hell, but today was not one of those days. Aquarius had his menstrual cycle today, and he did not want to deal with their usual shenanigans. He sat down beside Hydrus and looked down at the plate. It was a stack of chocolate pancakes with chocolate and strawberry drizzled all over it. There was a dollop of cookie and cream ice cream with a cherry on top.

A look of disgust appeared on his face. His cramps were killing him, so he set the plate to the side and laid his head on the table. He wrapped his arms around his hips. Cepheus, his mother, cooed: "Oh, my poor baby boy." He rubbed Aquarius's back gently. He looked at Triangulum. "Triangulum, could you be a dear and get Aquarius's heating pack?"

"Yes, madame."

Aquarius groaned. It felt like he was being repeatedly punched and kicked. It didn't help that it was the third day of his menstrual cycle, and it was the heaviest and bloodiest day. He whimpered and looked at the pancake tower. "Big brother, can you feed me, please?" He asked.

Hydrus had just finished eating, and he chuckled. "Of course," he obliged and started cutting the pancake tower. Aquarius smiled happily as Hydrus fed him. He loved his oldest brother because Hydrus treated him well no matter the circumstances. Cepheus sighed and smiled gently. Aquarius had power over his three older brothers. He was sweet and kind, so they showered him with gifts and chocolate whenever his menstrual cycle came. Corvus watched with disgust, but he couldn't say anything or else Aquarius would wreak havoc upon him.

"School is starting next week," Aquila, the man of the house, stated. He set down his newspaper and looked at Aquarius with a giant grin. "Eridanus, bless his soul, reopened his honor program. I bet those commoners are like the ones from twenty years ago."

"Hubby, don't say that!" Cepheus exclaimed and smacked Aquila's forearm. Aquila winced and stuck his tongue out. "Besides, it was all Sirius's fault. He was the one who initiated the entire thing. Poor Camelopardalis... his future was taken away because of that monster." Aquarius hummed. The heist was what his parents were talking about. It was the talk of the century during the early two thousands. Aquarius was around two when the heist happened, and he didn't know how to grasp the full situation. He just knew that Cepheus and Camelopardalis were best friends, and Cepheus was absolutely devastated when Camelopardalis was arrested.

Cepheus was glad that Camelopardalis was only sentenced to two years in prison.

Triangulum walked back to the family, carrying a pink heating pad. The heating pad was electric, and it wrapped around Aquarius's waist, so he could go about his day without having to stay in bed all day. Aquarius grabbed the waist pad and thanked Triangulum. Aquila frowned. "I know that Camelopardalis was manipulated by Sirius, but... he's in a better situation. He got out of prison early because of his good behavior."
