Gaius was restless after finding out that his husband disliked his lunch box. He made it with all his heart, yet Clarke didn't even want to touch it. 

It was inevitable that Gaius got sad and restless, thinking he was of no use anymore to his beloved husband. 

…

"Mommy, why are you wiping the table for so long?" Artemis asked.

"A—Ah, am I?" Gaius was spacing out, he checked the clock, and it was already 4 P.M, so he had to start cooking for dinner. 

Hermes arrived at five like an obedient kid. He had abandoned the idea that his father would join them for dinner and such.

"Mommy, I brought you a flower," Hermes said, gifting Gaius a red rose. 

"Oh, really? Is this for me?" Gaius asked. 

"Yes!" Hermes was so happy when he saw his Mom's face brightened. Because Dad seldom gave a flower to his Mom, he needed to take the spot for Mom to be happy.
