7. so libra has two wingpersons?
Scorpio's POV
It's been four days now since we retrieved the flash drive from Lupus. Aquarius was scrolling through files daily, and all he could see were sketches. Every single one of them. Just sketches.
Maybe this wasn't the right flash drive.
Aquarius was giving himself a hard time trying to figure out what to do. Who would've thought the only flash drive that he retrieved was the wrong one. I would've been pissed too.
I was with Aries and Aquarius in the gym. We were all working out. Mainly Aries.
"Yo, Scorp, I bet you can't do 100 push ups in a row," he brags with a smug look on his face.
"You're right. I can't," I tell him. I could tell this frustrated him. He already knew I could do 100 push ups. He just wanted me to have a competition with him, and I don't like to compete.
Aries rolls his eyes. "You're lame, Scorpio. Aquarius, how can you even put up with him?"
Aquarius was lifting a dumbbell up and down while watching his arm flex as he exhaled cool breaths. "Same way how I put up with you, Aries. I don't."
"Do we all know what we're doing?" I ask.
"Of course. 100 push ups are easy," Aries brags.
"Not that. I'm talking about the Elites. I feel like each step we take, we realize how stuck we are," I admit.
"Yeah. That's because we are stuck," Aries agrees, pushing himself off the ground from doing push ups.
"We're not stuck, guys. We're just... I don't know. But we're not stuck," Aquarius says.
"Well, that's bullshit. We are most definitely stuck," Aries disagrees, wiping his sweat with a white towel. He then swings the towel around his neck before grabbing a bottle of water.
"We're not stuck, Aries!" Aquarius tells him again, this time much firmer. "We'll figure it all out."
"Maybe we should find another way to get rid of the Elites," I suggest.
"Sure. We could. But how? Lupus was an advantage and I lost that one," he says.
"Don't be too hard on yourself," Aries tells him, picking at his sweaty, red hair. "We should just go out somewhere. Like the club? C'mon, Scorp, I know you want to!" Aries grins at me while pointing a finger my way.
"Do you take anything seriously? Now's not the time to go out and party. There was never a time for that, but that's all you do!" I was nearly annoyed with him. Aries was a party animal just like the rest of us, but sometimes, he didn't know when to be serious.
"Hey! No wonder you're so fucking uptight all the time. You're like Virgo and Capricorn. Even worse: Orion," Aries spits.
"Shut the fuck up," I warn, walking closer to him.
"Make me, motherfucker!"
Before I could touch a hair on that red headed dipshit, Aquarius puts a hand to both of our chest.
"Can both of you just stop!" Aquarius shouts at us. Aries and I still stare at each other with anger in our eyes.
Aries was quick to piss me off. And I was quick to piss him off. We could never really be together in the same room with the two of us. Aquarius always has to be there. If he wasn't, I was sure one of us would kill each other. And I don't mean that metaphorically.
"You both are being assholes. How the hell can we work together with you two always at each other's necks all the time?" Aquarius shouts.
He had a point.
"You're right," I tell him.
"Like hell he's right! Y'know what? Fuck it! I'm out of here!" Aries says, shoving me with his shoulder to get out of his way.
"Aries!" Aquarius shouts.
Aries had already left the gym and slammed the door shut. The loud sound echoed the room for a few seconds. Aquarius held his head down in disappointment.
Usually when I was mad, I was rational. It's easy for me to act as if things didn't bother me. Sure, I would have an attitude here and there, but I wouldn't consider them being too bad.
Aries was different. When he was mad, he's big mad. There's no calming him down. The only way he could calm down was to be by himself for a little while. He was like an explosion that needs to wait for the fire to burn out.
"Are you kidding me, Scorpio?" Aquarius asks, throwing his hands up in the air.
"What the hell did I do?" I ask defensively.
Aquarius just shakes his head before walking out of the gym after Aries. Then I was left in the gym all alone. How was this my fault? It was Aries' too.
Letting myself cool down for a little, I walk out the gym as well and go to the Main Room. I couldn't find Aries or Aquarius anywhere.
"Hey, Scorpio, can you sign this?" Capricorn asks me. She hands me a paper on a clipboard.
"The hell is this about?" I ask her.
"It's the new rules. For not including Orion," she tells me. "Aquarius had Virgo write them. Just sign it."
"Lemme see it," I grumble, snatching the clipboard from her hands. Capricorn rolls her eyes at me and leaves.
New Rules:
1. Orion doesn't need to know everything that we do. If you sign this, you swear to not tell him.
2. Rules can be amended by any of the twelve members of the Galactics.
3. Whatever information is found, send directly to either Virgo, Capricorn, or Aquarius.
4. No action is made unless there is a unanimous vote.
5. No killing teammates.
Well, that wasn't many. And I can't promise much on Rule #5. I sign the paper anyway. It seems like they actually know what they're talking about so far.
I look at the signed names. So far, Cancer and Pisces haven't signed it. I find them in the living room and walk over to them.
"Hey, ladies," I say, tossing the clipboard to Pisces. "Sign this."
"Whats this?" Pisces asks, immediately signing anyway.
"Some new rules," I shrug.
Cancer looks at it now. "So what? We're a democracy now?"
"I mean, we should've been one in the first place," Pisces shrugs. "I'm fine with not telling Orion anything. He still has my gun."
Cancer signs the paper now. "Yeah, well, lets just hope this will all be worth it."
"Hey, do you guys know where Aquarius is?" I ask them.
Cancer shakes her head. "Nope."
"He was at the the gym with you and Aries. Maybe they went to take a shower," Pisces guesses. Ah, right. Of course.
"Did Aquarius say anything about the flash drive?" Cancer asks.
I shake my head. "Nope. And all Aries could do is just talk about partying. He never knows when to be serious."
"To be fair, when have we ever taken Aries seriously?" Pisces snickers, prepping her feet on the couch.
"I can't stand Aries," Cancer says, rolling her eyes.
"You and I both," I agree, sitting down on the couch beside her.
"I don't know. Aries isn't too bad. He's nice to me. Sometimes," Pisces shrugs.
"Yeah, when he wants something," Cancer grumbles.
"Yeah, and to be fair, Pisces, I'm pretty sure everyone is nice to you," I tell her.
Pisces shrugs her shoulders with a grin on her face. She knew it was true. She was the most liked in the group.
Main reason why I was nice to her is because Pisces could also be psychotic. Extremely terrifying even. Sure, she was sweet and chill and all, but she will not hesitate to put a bullet into anyone. Her obsession with guns was just creepy yet intriguing to me. I decided to stay on her good side so I wouldn't have to see the bad.
We all knew better than to underestimate Pisces.
Plus, Pisces never starts any problems. Sometimes, she will give little white lies, but that's as problematic as she will ever get. Pisces was just a very chill woman. It usually comes off as comforting or intimidating to some people. Sometimes even both.
"Aries just has anger issues. Just let him calm down, and he'll be alright," Cancer tells me as if I didn't already know.
"Someone needs to drug him or something. I'm tired of dealing with him every single day," I groan.
"You don't say," Cancer scoffs.
"No, seriously. Every single day! I have no idea what his issue is," I grumble.
Cancer shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe he just needs someone to talk to. Like deep conversation."
"Why the hell would anyone need that?" I ask.
"I don't know. It's great for people with anger issues. Especially with Aries. I can't be too sure if he's a natural born asshole or some traumatic asshole. Y'know?" Cancer asks.
Cancer was great at reading people. She could get into peoples interior motives because she was just that good. Cancer, herself, is a sensitive woman, so she rather see all sides than one and run with it. She was smart like that. She was definitely the only one who has their shit together in this lot.
That's what I liked about Cancer. She wasn't overly sensitive or too emotional. She just knew how to handle things. And she always did it the right and less stressful way. She's balanced like that.
"Maybe you should be that person. You're the only one who has their shit together," Pisces says, picking at her nails.
Cancer instantly scoffs. "Just because I have my shit together, doesn't mean I want to babysit the hot head. Do I look like a therapist to you?"
Pisces just laughs and pokes Cancer's cheek which makes her roll her eyes. "A lil bit." Cancer swats Pisces' hand away.
Though, that wouldn't be too bad of an idea, who am I to convince Cancer to suffer? Aries was his own problem. He's a grown man. He can handle himself.
"Plus nearly half of you guys have anger issues. Ahem, like Orion, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, and even you, Scorpio," Cancer says.
I guess she was right.
"Yeah, but Aries' is different. He's, like, overboard with his shit. Y'know?" Pisces says.
"Yeah, well, that's on him. He's annoying as it is. Trust me, if I could clone my brain into everyone else's heads, I would. You guys are too fucking chaotic for me," Cancer growls, cringing.
"We're not that chaotic," I shrug.
"That's where you're wrong. You, Aries, and Aquarius move way too fast for me. You and Aries fight all the time, and I'm pretty sure Aquarius literally has 5 whole computers in his brain," Cancer says while pointing at me.
"Taurus, Gemini, Leo, and Libra are already chaotic themselves. No description needed when they are the definition of chaos. Virgo and Capricorn are just mean. And I can't stand Sagittarius and her big ass mouth," Cancer growls. "That's why I only hang around Pisces."
Which was rational. Cancer and Pisces were the two most chill and coolest girls. There was rarely any chaos with them. Their friendship seem so peaceful and calm. Main reason why they were my favorites on the team.
I chuckle. "Okay, okay, fair enough. I can't argue with you on that."
"See? I'm right," Cancer smirks at me.
"That's true. There's only good vibes on this side of the pent," Pisces agrees, casually leaning back on the couch.
"Yeah, except when Cancer gets into it with Sagittarius, and when you have your guns and get pissed off," I scoff.
Pisces fake gasps. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nearly everyone here thinks you're psycho," I admit.
Pisces furrows her brows together. She didn't say anything but shrug her shoulders and lean back down on the couch, unbothered. At least she knew she couldn't deny it.
Soon after, Aquarius walks back into the Main Room. He looked freshly washed from his shower, his curly brown hair still damp.
I stand up and walk towards him.
"Hey," I say to Aquarius.
"What's up?" he asks, walking straight towards the kitchen.
"What's your problem? Are you upset at me?" I ask, following him.
"I'm not upset with you, Scorpio. You and Aries are just a pain in the ass sometimes," he shrugs.
Aquarius was very nonchalant in moments like these. You can't really tell if he's genuinely upset or not. He's so quick not to care about things that it sometimes confuses me.
"Well, if you were upset, it would be a very dumb reason to be," I tell him.
"You and Aries bicker everyday for dumb reasons," he says, going straight for the refrigerator.
"Today wasn't even my fault! Aries was the one to walk out!" I tell him.
Aquarius shakes his head before grabbing the champagne. "It doesn't matter," he says, opening the bottle. It was already drunk from, but still wasn't flat. "I'm not asking for you two to get along. You two are my best friends. Don't blame me for finding it annoying when you come for each other's throats 24/7."
"Yeah, Well, someone has to teach Aries to stop bitching all the time," I scoff.
"Tell Aries to stop what?" another voice announces among us.
Of course it was Aries. He has also taken a shower and his red hair appeared nearly brown by how wet and soaked it was.
I shake my head, not wanting to start anything else again. "Nothing, Aries. Lets just drop it," I roll my eyes.
"No, I'm genuinely curious on what you have to say, Scorpio," Aries says, his voice sounding nearly pissed.
I see Aquarius rolls his eyes and take a long sip of his champagne.
"What did you say, pussy? Too scared to say it to my face?" Aries spits.
"I said you act like a little b—"
"Can you two shut the fuck up for once in your fucking lives!" Aquarius bursts. Both of our eyes were on Aquarius now.
"All you guys do is bitch and complain about how annoying you guys are. Well, news flash, you're both fucking annoying! I don't need you two to start bickering. It's useless and childish. Even Cancer and Sagittarius learned to avoid each other often," Aquarius continues.
Aquarius was a peaceful type. Well, not peaceful, but tolerant. He wasn't one to get angry quickly. He thinks quickly with his brain and words and refuses to let anything bother him. If anything, he would rather all of us to get along than to argue all the time. Not because it would be good for us, but only because it pisses him off when he receives bad vibes.
"Like, Fuck. If you two can't stand each other, just avoid each other. No one's asking for you two to get along. Be each other's fucking coworkers and not enemies. We already have a bigger enemy on our list and your fighting is completely useless."
None of us said anything. He made a point. Bickering is useless. Unnecessary.
"Or you two could just make the fuck up and avoid fighting all the time," Aquarius suggests.
I was nearly considering to make up with Aries. For Aquarius, of course. We were both his best friends and it probably just brought more stress upon himself to see his two best friends fighting everyday.
That was until Aries spoke up.
"Avoid each other it is," he says while looking me dead in my eyes. His eyes were cold and unforgiving. That's how Aries was when he's angry. I didn't expect anything more.
Aries left from the kitchen to find someone else to bother with his negative energy. It was just me and Aquarius now. He takes another long sip of champagne while watching Aries leave.
"Listen, Aquarius—"
"It doesn't matter. The problem is solved. If Aries wants to avoid you, let him. It's not a bad thing that you guys are just coworkers and not friends," Aquarius says truthfully. He didn't seem bothered by Aries' choice at all. He was just relieved that the tension is gone. At least on his end.
Which was true. I wasn't planning on forcing Aries to do anything. As long as he's not pissing me off 24/7, I'm pretty sure that I won.
"Yeah," I agree.
Aquarius drinks again from the bottle. "Here. Have a drink," he says, handing the bottle to me. "You fucking need this."
I smirk and take the bottle by the neck. I take a long sip from the alcoholic beverage. Yep. I needed that after today.

Taurus' POV
"He still isn't texting me back!" Leo growls, gripping her phone in her hands with frustration in her eyes.
"Maybe you shouldn't have had so many abortions," Gemini teases.
"Maybe you shouldn't be such a cock block," Leo stares daggers at him before circling at Libra and me. "All of you!"
"Oh, c'mon, it was just a joke," Libra snickers.
"If only Sagittarius didn't give you your phone back," I shake my head.
Leo shakes her head before typing on the phone. "Yeah, and where's your phone exactly, Taurus?"
I reach to my back pocket to where I kept it. It wasn't there. I then see Leo with a devilish smirk on her face and I realized the phone case wasn't pink like hers. She took my phone.
"Hey, give it back!" I snatch my phone from her hands.
I read the text to one woman that I was supposed to see tonight. I've seen her multiple times, actually. I was ready to throw Leo out the window.
"I hate you," I grumble.
Leo just howls in laughter.
"What did she say?" Libra asks.
"She told Saturnina that I got tested positive for chlamydia!" I growl, staring daggers at Leo. She laughs even harder when I said it out loud.
Libra and Gemini also laugh. "No fucking way! So Leo got so many abortions and Taurus has chlamydia?" Gemini laughs some more.
"What's so funny, Gemini? Have you even looked at your bank account recently?" Leo asks, tilting her head with a devilish smirk.
Gemini immediately stopped laughing and pulled out his phone to check his checking account. When he did, his face deadpans.
"You spent all my gambling money on clothes and make up?" he nearly shouts.
Gemini, Libra, and I all won money from putting Aries in a drinking contest with some alcoholic at the casino. Gemini wasn't too secure to putting money into his account like the rest of us. Leo took that opportunity.
Libra now looks at Leo. "Then...what did you do to get back at me?" he asks, scared.
Leo smirks again at the blonde. "Oh, you'll see," she evilly exclaims before standing up from her chair. She was ready to walk away from us now. Before she did, she turns to us quickly.
"Don't fuck with me," she warns before leaving us for Cancer and Pisces.
I nearly hear Libra gulp. Maybe we shouldn't fuck with Leo.
"All that money," Gemini cries. "Lost!"
"You mean spent," I corrected.
"That's fine. Because whenever her package comes, I will burn all of it and she can't have anything!" Gemini plots.
I shake my head. "I don't know, Gem. I think we should listen to when Leo says not to fuck with her," I warn.
"Agreed," Libra agrees. "I just want to know what she did to get back at me."
"When you find out, I pray that it happens far away from me," Gemini shakes his head.
"Huh? Why?" Libra asks.
Gemini shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know. She might blow you up or something. Or worse. Burn your money."
"You think burning my money is worse than burning myself alive?" Libra questions, tilting his head at the brunette. Gemini just shrugs.
"I recommend that you should sleep with one eye open," a female voice exclaims. We turn to see that it was Pisces.
"Hey, little fish," Gemini mocks. "Where's Cancer."
"Cancer and Leo went to go get revenge on Libra," Pisces states casually.
Libra gulps again. "Revenge how?"
Pisces shrugs her shoulder before sitting in the nearest chair beside her. "Like hell do I know. I just came to warn you."
"So you don't know what they're doing exactly?" Libra asks.
Pisces shrugs her shoulders again.
"You have to find out what it is," Libra pleads.
Pisces scoffs. "Hell no. Didn't Leo said not to fuck with her? Unlike you three losers, I know better than to do that." She crosses her arms over her chest.
"So you're not going to help?" I ask.
Pisces shakes her head. "Nope."
Libra then rolls his eyes. "You're useless then."
"That's coming from a dead man," Pisces states casually.
"Ha!" Gemini laughs, holding his hand out for Pisces to slap. "That was a good one."
"Thanks," Pisces smirks while high fiving Gemini.
"Ha ha, very funny. So what should I do by this time before I—y'know—die!" Libra questions.
"You could kiss Capricorn before you go," I tease.
Libra rolls his eyes. "You're fucking annoying," he tells me.
"'Oh, Capricorn! I am so in love with you. Kiss me! Kiss me, Capricorn, mwah mwah mwah!'" Gemini mocks, kissing the air in a disgusting yet hilarious way. Pisces and I laugh.
Libra then punches Gemini on the shoulder, but he just continued laughing. "You're annoying too."
"So when are you ever gonna make a move on that woman?" Pisces asks.
"Most likely never," I answer.
"Shut up," Libra tells me while punching my shoulder also. He looks at Pisces again. "And what are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be planning my funeral with Cancer and Leo?"
"Messing with you seems much more fun. No wonder Leo likes hanging out with you guys," Pisces chuckles. "But seriously, man. I mean, I'm all aboard for this whole Libra and Capricorn thing."
I look at the blue haired woman with confusion plastered on my face. "Really? Why?"
Pisces shrugs. "I don't know. Libra is sweet. Kind of. And Capricorn is one hell of a bitch. I think they could even each other out," she answers.
Which was true. I see her point so far.
"Who do you think my best match would be?" Gemini asks.
Pisces scoffs. "No one. No offense, but Libra and Capricorn are the only one who—in my eyes—would work out from this group. Everyone else, including myself, deserve worse or better. Me: I definitely would deserve better than anyone here."
"Okay, but she doesn't like me," Libra sighs.
"And why's that?" Pisces asks.
"I got it!" Gemini answers quickly. He turns to Libra and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You, my good sir, need a wingman."
"A wingman?" I question.
"Yeah! Y'know, someone to give a good word about you. Plus, you could get better game," Gemini responds.
"I have great game," Libra scoffs while rolling his eyes.
Pisces just snickers.
"What?" Libra asks Pisces.
"You may have game with every other girl, but this is Capricorn that we're talking about. Y'know, the woman who is always hard to impress," Pisces answers.
"So?" Libra asks dumbly.
"So you need to get on her level. That's the only way to impress her."
"That's smart," I tell her.
"Exactly. So I guess I'm your new wingwoman," Pisces smiles while standing up from her chair.
"Wingwoman? No, no, no, no. He already has a wingman. What does he need a wingwoman for?" Gemini denies.
"Gemini, you're a man, or for how I see it, a boy. Either way, you see from a male's perspective. If you want to get with Capricorn, you would need someone with a female's perspective. You can't think just one way and give it a shot," Pisces answers.
"A boy?" Gemini whispers to himself sadly and offended.
"She's got a point," I agree.
"See? Taurus gets it," Pisces smirks while nudging my shoulder.
"Fine! You can be my wingwoman! Don't tell Leo bout this. I don't want her to think she wasn't good enough to be my wingwoman," Libra tells us.
"I don't think Leo could've cared less," I shrug.
"So you have two wingpersons?" Gemini asks, still a bit jealous that Pisces was in on it also.
"Yes, he does," Pisces smirks at the brunette.
●○●
While Pisces was with Gemini and Libra to stir up a plan to get blondie with Capricorn, I decided to go find Leo. When I walk out of the Main Room, I notice Leo was alone by herself.
I raise an eyebrow at the pink haired woman. "What are you doing?" I ask her.
Leo shrugs her shoulders while giving me a devilish smile. "Nothing."
"Where's Cancer?"
"No where."
I roll my eyes. I guess this was going no where no matter how many questions I would ask.
"Where's Gem and Libra?" Leo asks, her devilish smirk fading.
I use my thumb to gesture to the Main Room door. "Pisces is Libra's wingwoman now. Also, Gemini is Libra's wingman."
"So Libra had two wingpersons?"
"Yeah, it kind of made sense once Pisces explained it," I shrug.
"Does Libra still think he can win Capricorn over?" Leo rolls her green eyes, annoyed with the topic.
I couldn't help but laugh at her. Leo gives me a mean look, and I still couldn't help but laugh. I could tell it annoyed Leo.
"What's so funny?" she asks in an annoyed tone.
I shake my head, trying to stop myself from laughing. "N-nothing! It just seems as though you're jealous," I answer.
It was probably a bad idea to say that. Now Leo looked as though she wanted to kill me.
"What?" The pink haired woman nearly shouts in disgust.
"I mean, I don't know. You always seem to act some type of way whenever he talks to Capricorn. Or even talks about her," I admit.
Leo scoffs. "Yeah, that's because it's annoying."
"So it won't be because you like him?" I ask. Again, I regret saying that.
Leo looked nearly surprised from what I said. "W-what?! I don't like Libra! I mean, I love him! But not in that way!"
"Mhm," I hum mockingly.
"Taurus, I'm serious!"
"It's okay, Leo. We're best friends. I won't tell a single soul," I promise.
Leo rolls her eyes. "You're so fucking annoying. I don't like Libra!"
"No need to be defensive," I chuckle.
"Taurus," she says seriously. I take a minute to look at her. "I don't like Libra."
I nod my head. At this point, I could tell Leo felt a bit embarrassed. Maybe even ashamed. Leo is not the type to fall for one of her best friends—especially considering that most of them are guys. We never expect for it to be more than that.
"If it makes you feel better, I get annoyed when he talks about her too," I shrug.
"Okay, but it's not because I'm jealous!"
"Then why is it?" I ask.
"Because," she starts, pinching the bridge of her nose, "it makes him lame! You mean to tell me that he's obsessing with someone who's never going to like him? He could clearly do so much better."
I nod my head as I hear her speak. Her eyes then widen.
"Not as in, like, me. I meant, someone better as in—well, y'know—"
"Should we just go in my room or yours?" I interrupt. I could tell she was getting uncomfortable talking about the situation.
Leo rolls her eyes now. "Mine," she mumbles before storming towards her room.
I smirk at her as I walk behind her and enter. I close the door behind me.
"So what's the revenge plan you have for Libra?" I ask, grabbing one of her pink decors and taking a look of it.
Leo snickers. "Like I'm gonna tell you."
"It's not like I will tell. Like how I'm not telling anybody about your other little secret—"
"Can you shut the fuck up?" Leo interrupts in an irritated voice.
I drop the decor back in its place and raise my hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay!"
Leo side eyes me before reaching for something behind her bed. "Yo, Taur. Can you move my bed a little bit?"
"Sure," I insist, grabbing the head of the bed and moving the whole thing aside.
Leo then grabs an orange bottle with pills. It looks like the drug that Aries and Sagittarius had that one day.
I squint my eyes to see clearer. "Is that Oberon?" I ask.
Leo smirks and nods her head. "Yep."
"So what? Aquarius just handed you that?"
"Nope. He and Scorpio were knocked the fuck out last night and this was on his dresser," Leo answers.
"His dresser? So you were in his room?"
"Well, the door was cracked open and I needed Aquarius' help for me to get back at Gemini! Luckily for me, I found a better way to get back at Gem plus my little friend here is ready to get popped," she devishly smiles, waving the little bottle.
I take the bottle from her hands and look at it. "There's only two more pills in here," I announce in disappointment.
"Yeah, Well, keep in mind, Aquarius had this bottle before Orion left for Times Square. Plus," she says, taking the bottle back and screwing the cap open. "One," she places one pill in my hand. "And two," she says, popping the pill in her mouth herself.
I pop the pill in my mouth also. It was a tiny pill, but if it could fuck up our heavyweighted druggies—Aries and Sagittarius—it could most definitely fuck us up.
Leo hands me a bottle of water to which I assume that she had already drank. I wash the pill down with the water and let it sit.
Leo then lays down on her bed with a smile on her face. I just patiently waited for the drug to kick in.
"How long until this kicks in?" Leo asks.
I shrug my shoulders. "Hell am I supposed to know? You're the one who gave it to me."
"True," Leo chuckles before sitting up on her bed. Her hair was nearly messy yet gorgeous. She always looks gorgeous without trying. In my opinion, that made her more gorgeous.
"What?" Leo laughs. It wasn't until now that I notice that I was staring.
I shake my head and laugh. "Shit, my bad," I laugh.
Leo smiles. "No, it's okay. You're probably feeling the drug kicking in."
"Are you?"
Leo smiles widely this time while nodding her head, her eyes squinted closed. "Hell yeah."
I laugh at her behavior. My head was starting to feel light. It was as if it was starting to defy gravity and wander to a world of its own.
"Hey," Leo says, bringing me back to reality. "Lay down."
And with those words, I laid down beside her on her bed. Leo then grabs my hand and I snatch it away.
"What are you doing?" I laugh.
"I want to see your nails!"
"No," I laugh. "No fucking way. You painted them already and didn't even do Gem's. You're not painting them anymore!"
Leo rolls her eyes and takes my hand for her to look. She squints her eyes and tried to angle my hand in a way where she could see it clearly.
"The clear polish is chipping," she tells me, eyes still squint.
I snatch my hand back again. "So?"
"So you need to get them done again."
"No," I answer sternly.
"Fine," Leo rolls her eyes and gets off the bed. She pauses for a second before touching her head. "Fuck, I shouldn't have gotten up so fast," she laughs.
I laugh too. I could imagine what it must've felt like to take Oberon and moving too fast. It's almost a feeling as if you're passing out.
Leo then removes her shirt, revealing her red bra. I quickly turn my head and covered my eyes. "Jesus, Leo! Warning!" I almost shout. I had moved my head too fast to where I felt as if I were going to pass out this time.
Leo scoffs. "C'mon, Taur, it's nothing new. Stop acting like a 6 year old kid."
Which was true. Leo used to always change in front of Gemini, Libra, and me. It was never anything weird since we could never view her as some random hot chick that we would fantasize about.
Although Leo was, indeed, hot, it was never a way we would view her. Leo was different with us. More like family. Mostly she's seen as one of the guys by her chill and slightly tomboyish personality. Maybe being on the drug was more different.
I look back at Leo and seen that she had just took her bra off. Her back was turned to me, so it wasn't like I was being some kind of perv or anything. Her long pink hair covered most of her back to where I could only see her small, pale shoulders. She then reaches for a T-shirt and puts it over her head.
At this point, I felt slightly embarrassed for looking. Again, Leo getting changed in front of us was nothing new. It's the drug. That's why it feels so weird.
Leo then looks back at me and my brown eyes caught her green ones. "Taur," she says quietly.
My eyes felt like they widened once she said my name. "Yeah?"
"Can you bring me some water? My throat is getting dry," she asks. Dry throat was definitely one of the side effects to Oberon.
"Y-yeah. I'll be back," I answer, getting off her bed. I felt my head rush from gravity once again. I touch my forehead. "I got up too fast," I laugh.
Leo laughs too before laying back on her bed. I look inside her mini fridge and couldn't find anything.
"Leo!" I call for her.
"Yeah?"
"I can't find water. I'm about to go to the Main Room real quick and bring you some," I tell her.
"Okay, thanks."
I walk back to her. "Do I look okay?"
Leo slowly smiles before covering her mouth and giggling. "You mean besides the dilated pupils?"
I laugh too. Well, fuck.
"It's fine. I'm about to leave anyway," I tell her, straightening myself up.
Once I left Leo's room, I start walking straight to the Main Room. Before I could reach the doorknob, a black bag covered my head and a hand was to my mouth to keep me from screaming.
Unfortunately, I couldn't defend myself since I was too high to do so. If I weren't, this would've been an easy battle.
"I have a knife in my right hand. If you don't walk straight to the elevator, I'll stab your neck," a voice speaks. I was too high to recognize it. It was almost as if it were distorted under the bag.
Knowing I couldn't defend myself due to the rush of feeling as if I were to pass out, I obeyed orders and walk forward to where I was being guided.
The elevator button clicks and I can hear the elevator doors open. I was pushed inside before hearing footsteps walk inside with me. The doors close.
Instantly, the bag was removed from my head and it took a minute for my eyes to adjust to who was kidnapping me. Once, I gain conscious again, my face deadpans.
"What the f—"

Pisces' POV
"I just don't understand why you have two wingpersons?" Gemini complains.
I roll my eyes. "How many times do I have to explain this?"
"Until it makes sense!"
"It makes perfect sense!"
"Can both of my wingpersons just shut the hell up?" Libra announces with an annoyed tone.
"Yeah, Pisces. Shut the hell up," Gemini tells me.
"I will cut your dick off—"
"Can someone just help me already?!" Libra interrupts.
I exhale an exhausted breath. Gemini sure knew how to work people's nerves.
"I think that you need to just talk to her," Gemini insists.
I facepalm myself. "And this is exactly why he needs two wingpersons. Or at least just me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gemini asks.
"Clearly, him talking to Capricorn doesn't work. Hello!!! Libra has no game! That's what we're helping him with," I answer.
"Uh—"
Libra was cut off by Gemini. "It's not my fault he has no game! Usually when I want a girl, I can simply walk up to her!"
"Clearly Libra isn't as good at flirting than you!"
"Guys—"
"Again, not my fault!"
"Maybe if he just sucked a little less—"
"Guys!" Libra shouts. "I get it!"
Gemini and I put our focus back on the blonde man. Something was telling me we might have offended him in some way.
"Right, okay, so I say that you try to get to know her a little bit more," I advise. Libra nods his head in agreement.
"Okay, that's a good idea," he admits.
"It's an okay idea," Gemini mumbles. I just roll my eyes at him.
"To do that, of course, you'd need to be alone with her. So figure out what interests her. And when you do, find what you two have in common. It'll just impress her," I continue.
"This is dumb," Gemini grumbles.
"And I suppose you don't have a better idea?"
Gemini then shuts his mouth causing me to grin. "Yeah. That's what I thought."
"So how will I get alone with her? I mean, Virgo has no friends except for Cap," Libra worries.
"Easy," I say with a grin. I turn to Gemini and punch him square in the nose. Instantly, his nose starts bleeding. He holds his nose in agony.
"Pisces, what the fuck?" he shouts.
"Virgo! Gemini has a bloody nose! I think it might be broken," I call for the platinum blonde woman.
I can hear Virgo groan as she walks towards our direction. Gemini is still holding his nose, wincing in pain.
"How do you keep getting yourself hurt?" Virgo asks Gemini, taking his hand from his nose. She touches it a bit and he winces which causes Virgo to snatch her hand back. "It probably is broken. Come with me."
Gemini and Virgo both leave, and Gemini turns his head around to stick his middle finger at me. I blew him a kiss which I could tell made him more upset. I then turn around back to Libra.
"You really had to punch him in the nose?" Libra asks me.
I shrug my shoulders. "What? Virgo's gone and plus, I really needed to blow off some steam."
"Pisces—"
"Go and talk to Capricorn, moron. You're welcome, by the way," I lightly punch the blonde on his shoulder.
Libra gives me a small smile before nodding his head. "Thanks, little fish." He then walks up to Capricorn to start a conversation.
"Wow," a voice behind me speaks. It was Scorpio. "Who knew you knew how to play Cupid."
I scoff and cross my arms. "Literally Everyone. Thank you very much."
"And you think Libra is gonna pull it off with Capricorn?" he asks me, raising an unsure eyebrow at me.
"Why? You don't think so?" I ask, searching for validation.
Scorpio stretches his long arms to the side. "Well, Capricorn's kind of...y'know..."
I scoff and shake my head. "She will kill you before you even finish that sentence. And plus, who knows? No one really knows Capricorn that well except for maybe Virgo. And I think even Virgo has a hard time reading that woman."
Scorpio chuckles while shaking his head. "Yeah, that's facts. So what makes you think Libra can get to her?"
I shrug my shoulders. Personally, I didn't have a great reason. "He's been so obsessed with her for, like, years. The moment she kicked Gemini in the balls, the blonde has just been head over heels for her since."
"It wasn't Gemini. It was Aquarius."
"Are you sure?" I ask seriously.
Scorpio nods his head. "Yeah. Aquarius had a bet against Capricorn, and we all know she's a sore loser when it comes to money," he jogs my memory.
Oh, yeah. So it was Aquarius.
I shake my head from my thoughts. "Whatever, that's besides the point. I genuinely believe that Libra has a chance with her."
Scorpio scoffs. "If he keeps bothering her, I'm sure he'll have a bruised dick instead," he snickers to himself.
I shake my head at his doubt. "I can never get used to how pessimistic you are."
"I'm not pessimistic," he snaps back.
I nod my head slowly, while rolling my eyes to look at something else other than him. I wasn't ready to go back and forth with him today. "Yeah...Sure."
"What? I'm not!"
"Listen, Scorpio, personally, I don't care enough to go back and forth with you. If that's what you truly believe, go with that," I tell him, patting his shoulder.
Scorpio just rolls his eyes and exhales an annoyed breath. This was one of the many reasons I decide not to push it whenever he disagreed on something. He always has some kind of attitude until the topic is long gone.
Before any of us could say anything now, a loud voice introduced himself. "Luckily for me, you didn't break my nose," Gemini says, walking up to Scorpio and me with a bandage on his nose. I could still see the bruise from under it.
"Aw," I put on a sad face and pout. Gemini rolls his eyes at me, causing me to laugh.
"So for now, I have to wear a bandage on my nose...again," he sighs at the last word. This again, was causing me to smile which irritated Gemini.
"You find this so amusing, don't you?" he asks, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I've never been more entertained in my life," I put a hand to my heart and bat my lashes while replying in a flirty manner.
"Anyways, I'm out," Scorpio announces before leaving us. Gemini nor I cared.
"Guys!" another voice introduces. Libra was walking towards our direction with a smile. "Pisces, you're a genius!"
I give a wide grin to Gemini who was clearly irritated by those words. "Why, of course I am."
"So tell us what happened," Gemini presses, still with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Well, for starters, she says that I smell like weed and lemonade!" Libra says so excitedly.
My face deadpans. "Libra...are in there? I think you've been replaced by some middle school virgin," I sarcastically respond. "That's the most lame thing that has ever came from your mouth."
"Well, I told her I can smoke her out tonight if she'd like. Even drink vodka and lemonade if she wanted. We're going to the rooftop tonight. And of course, I'm rolling for her since, y'know, she's a woman. She doesn't know how to roll up," he explains.
My brows furrow in offense. "Sagittarius and I are girls. We know how to roll up."
"Okay, but you guys are like...guys."
"What?" I ask, my eyes widening in surprise.
I'm with Scorpio on this. Maybe Libra does needs his balls kicked.
"That's great, man!" Gemini high fives his best friend. "Getting off to a great start."
"Right! Oh, and get this! I like to read!" Libra says excitedly.
Gemini's face now deadpans. "No, bro, you don't. You never had."
"Well, Pisces says to find something in common with her!"
"Yeah, something in common. Not agree to everything she says she likes, you moron," I slap the blonde man on his arm. "What else do you two 'have in common' with?" I use air quotes.
"Uhh—books, money, and poker," Libra answers.
"But, Libra, you suck at poker," Gemini deadpans.
"I do?"
"Yes," Gemini and I say in unison.
Libra then facepalms himself. "Fuck! I'm an idiot."
"You said it, not me," Sagittarius comments while walking past us. She was then long gone after that.
"It's okay, buddy. C'mon, let's go read some books on how to play poker!" Gemini encourages.
"Yeah!" Libra cheers with a high five.
I watch the two best friends leave together with happiness and power in their voices. I thought about what Gemini just said.
"Let's go read some books on how to play poker!"
Libra and Gemini. Going to the library. Learning poker. Libra and Gemini. Leaving the Main Room. Libra and Gemini. The only two leaving the Main Room.
I sigh and walk after them. There was no way in hell I'm leaving those two unsupervised. Believe it or not, those two are capable of creating an apocalypse for being alone together for 3 minutes. At least Taurus and Leo would've kept them in check.
When I walk outside the Main Room, I see a broken elevator button and Gemini's finger that has been slightly electrocuted. Of course.
Libra then looks at me while Gemini is tapping the broken button with his slightly burnt index finger. Everytime he touched it, he winced and jumped, just to do it again.
"The elevator's broken," Libra announces while Gemini is stupidly still trying to click the button.
I need a break from these morons.
