"Why did so many crabs suddenly appear in my temple?!" Manigoldo shouted from the Cancer temple. (To Aspros)

♕┊ As soon as Aspros heard the Cancer Saint's complaint, the Gemini paused whatever he was doing with the rare expression of 'oh shit'.

♕┊ "Defteros, get rid of the evidence!" Aspros said as he stopped teleporting the last few remaining crabs from his temple to the Cancer Temple. He ripped off his cape and started scooping the crabs into the white fabric.

Defteros just poked his head from the kitchen and watched his brother panic as he gathered the crabs and gather the cloth around them like a bag.

"...if you want, it'd be just easier to cook them all," Defteros said simply as if his endless stomach was the answer to everything.

"...Cook! Cook! Yes, why didn't I think of that!" Aspros' eyes lid up as he marched out of the temple with the bagged-up crabs slung over his shoulders. "I can give this to the cafeteria! Surely the trainees wouldn't mind having crab for lunch, no?"

Defteros watched his brother rush out of the Temple way too eagerly. He didn't understand why Aspros was suddenly so spooked.

“Happy Valentine,” Manigoldo said as he gave a box of chocolate to Aspros. (Idk how Mani should act so umm you can continue the rest lol)

♕┊ Aspros was just about to retire for the night when his neighbor decided to pay him a visit and tapped the box of chocolate on Aspros’ shoulder.  It took the Gemini by surprise, but when he saw that Manigoldo was looking rather bashful about such a simple action, Aspros couldn’t help but tease.

♕┊ “What? You think I’ll be satisfied with just chocolates?” the Hellene grinned as he took the box of chocolates while eliminating the space between them. Luckily, it was late at night and no one was about.

Manigoldo passed him solid glare even though the blush that dusted his cheeks defeated any attempt of seriousness, “Knowing you, you’ll probably be satisfied after a few rounds in bed, you horny bastard.”

“You keep calling me that,” Aspros purred as he gingerly pecked his partner’s nose. “even though you, as well, can be quite the horny bastard yourself.”

Manigoldo rolled his eyes. Then his arms wrapped around the Gemini’s neck, his breath brushing against the taller man’s ear as his reduced voice whispered heatedly, "We can stop beating around the bush about what we really want today...”

“Is that an invitation?” Aspros was grateful that Manigoldo decided to retire earlier and left his Gold Cloth in the Cancer Temple. As the playful words escaped his lips, Aspros’ naughty hands were already sliding over the Italian’s clothes. He ignored Manigoldo’s suppressed groan as he walked him back into the Gemini Temple. “I told you I wasn’t the only one.”

“Shut up, Silver Tongue. Or I’ll shut you up.” 

“Hm! I like the sound of that, darling.”

“So you are his brother….” (Manigoldo to Defteros)

♛┊ Defteros had a feeling that his brother was seeing someone. After all, his brother stopped visiting the brothel a year or two ago and he appeared more defensive about being followed. Defteros had always respected his brother's wishes and didn't tail him into town when he asked... but he didn't mind it. Aspros was his brother and as long as he was satisfied, it was enough for Defteros.

As soon as Manigoldo had stepped towards him with that look on his face... Defteros knew. He should have realized it earlier. Aspros did have fancy for the feisty types, and he was a molly. But even if he knew about their connection earlier, would it have made a difference?

This was... uncomfortable.

♛┊ "Yeah..." Defteros had a hard time looking at the man directly. Blue eyes always darted to anything around the Cancer Saint's body--hoping that the man didn't take out his anger on him. After all, Aspros did try to kill Manigoldo's master. He didn't know Manigoldo's personality, but he did know that hurting people may lash out in anger. Considering the circumstances, Defteros was prepared to get hit.

Like an awkward conversation, silence befell the two. Defteros had his head down as if expecting a scolding and Manigoldo scrutinizing him hard...
