What was the relationship between Caesar and Octavian?

Julius Caesar was his uncle, and later adopted Octavian as his son (probably miffed off Mark Anthony a bit doing that though)

Not biological relationship, I mean emotional. What did they think of each other? How did they get along?

Octavian was 19 and training for a military career in Macedonia when his uncle was murdered, so I doubt they had any strong emotional friendship beyond a shared common sense of duty towards protecting the family.

Caesar made Octavian his son because he seemed the most capable of protecting their kin, and Octavian accepted the postmortem adoption because no one else could step up.

Mark Anthony was a bit frat-boy

You turn to him if you need someone beaten up, not if you need a dynasty secured

Also, Mark Anthony fled the city dressed as a slave when he heard Caesar was murdered. Octavian immediately sailed for Rome, despite the dangers and political hostility of the city, against the advice of his friends to remain in Macedonia until the violence was over.

Obligatory.

Wasn't he present on the senate meeting and saw dead Caesar himself?
