The playroom of the gods was filled with laughter and light, as Apollo watched his 10-month-old daughter, Bryer, play with her toys. Her brown hair and dark eyes were a stark contrast to his curly blonde hair and blue eyes.
Bryer grabbed a toy and Apollo took it away, saying, "Bryer, you can't have this."
Bryer clapped her hands at Apollo, surprising him. He gasped, "Did you just clap at me, ma'am? That was not nice, Bryer. That was sassy."
Dionysus, Apollo's husband, snickered beside him. Apollo glared at him and said, "It's not funny."
Apollo looked back at Bryer, who held her finger up at him. "That is sassy," Apollo said, trying to hide his amusement.
Dionysus, with his purple hair that looked black and dark eyes, couldn't contain his laughter anymore. "You're one to talk, sunshine," he said.
Apollo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Dionysus grinned. "Where did all that sass come from? You, of course."
Apollo scoffed. "Me? I'm the god of the sun, not sass."
Dionysus chuckled. "Oh, but you are, my love. You're the one who always has something to say, the one who always stands up for what he believes in. And that's what makes you sassy."
Apollo rolled his eyes, but couldn't hide his smile. "You're just saying that because you're in a good mood from all that wine."
Dionysus winked. "Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that you're sassy, and Bryer is just like you."
Apollo looked at Bryer, who was still holding her finger up at him. He couldn't help but laugh. "Fine, I'll admit it. I am sassy. But Bryer, you can't be sassy all the time. It's not polite."
Bryer clapped her hands again, and Apollo could hardly keep a straight face. "Okay, okay. You can be a little sassy. But just a little."
Dionysus wrapped his arm around Apollo's waist. "I love you, sassy sunshine."
Apollo couldn't help but smile at Dionysus's words. He may be the god of the sun, but he couldn't deny the sass that ran through his veins. And he couldn't be happier that his daughter, Bryer, was just as sassy as he was. The three of them continued to play and laugh in the playroom of the gods, a happy family full of love and sass.
