What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger

Well, this certainly wasn't the reaction he had been expecting or hoping for. Suddenly Caeto would rush toward him, but the look on his brother's face was far from excited or happy. In fact, he looked down right angry. Leo's ears flicked back at Caeto's exclamation of his name, his real first name at that instead of the nickname he usually went by. It was like getting scolded by your parents and them using your full name, somehow it had an extra little sting. Their matching blue eyes met he was genuinely confused by the anger he saw there. What had he done?

"Caeto!" he finally responded, his tone holding much more excitement and joyfulness than his brother's had. He smiled, trying to brush off Caeto's odd greeting. "Is something wrong?" Clearly Leo didn't know what had his brother so disgruntled and couldn't remember anything that he had done that would give him a reason to be mad at him so hopefully Caeto would shed some light on the situation.
