It was ironic to see how the older (and probably the stronger) man embarrass himself in front of the younger and had been acting like a child, but the flood of emotions had been taken over the former Sea Dragon Mariner, especially at the mention of his twin brother. It was the topic he`d like to avoid all the time, and it worse when the person who brought it up was the man he once hated. But everyone said even hatred doesn`t last forever. And there was nothing he want more in this world than to be accepted in Sanctuary as a member of the great family. No matter how Athena told him he was forgiven, actually he couldn`t forgive himself, even though he had allowed himself to receive the blows from the Scorpio before the Holy War begin, and even though Gemini Cloth itself had accepted him as its master. It would be better if there was no life after the Holy War, but fate was fate. Even the memories he hold constantly about his twin brother were not some happy ones.
Aiolos pointed out the fact, and silence fell upon the older saint. It would be useless to tell the younger one that he didn`t cry, though his pride made him want to refuse again. His eyes trailed over the younger guy`s face as he listened, his fists clenched at his sides. His heart had ached and shattered into a tiny million pieces, filled with affection, longing, and melancholy. Shouldn`t he feel happy after he knew the truth that actually his brother was proud of him; that actually his brother was hurt to say all the harsh thing? Why did he feel the sharp pain in his chest? He needed to put all his best effort into not crying out like a kid. His body trembled, but this time his pride had prevented him from letting the tears run down his cheeks despite his eyes glistened.Â
Then he shook his head, trying to push his emotions aside and get a hold of himself. His eyes momentarily clenched shut as he tried to think of this logically. Perhaps, Aiolos was just trying to make him happy. People in Sanctuary always said that Aiolos likes to make everyone happy. Or, maybe, the Sagittarius was just trying to make an excuse for Saga. It didn`t matter any more, Saga had gone. But now the younger of Gemini couldn`t help but seeing a brother figure, or even a mother figure in Aiolos. He was in need of a brother figure more then any thing else in life, and Aiolos came at the wrong time.Â
"T-Thank you." He tried his best to talk, his voice was unsteady. And tears continued to well up inside, glistening in his eyes but did not spill over. Then, when Aiolos said he`s done nothing wrong, all emotions found their way back into his brain. Once again, the older saint threw himself at the younger saint and hugged him close. However, a strange feeling came over him. It was by nature that Gemini is able to change their mood in a heartbeat, hence why its symbolized by the Twins, and as human Kanon`s biggest weakness was greed.. and he was known as a cunning man. He wants the Sagittarius only for himself.
A moment later, he pulled away, and the look he gave the younger saint was almost innocent. "After my brother gone, Gemini Temple is empty. Please stay with me for a while." The older saint offered, his eyes almost pleading.Â
