Gemini's POV

I looked at the time and saw that it was 11:55PM. I was on Scorpion duty! Cancer planned a huge surprise party for Scorpio, while everyone was still dancing and partying in the living room. We decided to surprise him upstairs. I just hope nobody is upstairs in my room messing up my sheets. That's disgusting.

All of the zodiacs were upstairs, ready to surprise Scorpio, except for the Fire Signs. Cepheus, Lyra, Cass, and that Auriga girl were upstairs too. I look around to find Scorpio. I couldn't find him anywhere. Then I saw Aries.

"Hey, Aries!" I yell.

He turned back at me. He had a red cup in his hand and was talking to some red headed girl in a nerdy school girl outfit.

"Hey, Gem! What's up?" he asked with a drunken smile. He quickly turned to the red head and shoo'ed her away.

"I need to find Scorpio. Do you know where he is?" I ask him.

"Why are you looking for him?" he asked me. "By the way, you look really hot." He licked his lips, looking at me up and down.

I rolled my eyes. "His birthday! The one you, Leo, and Sag didn't want to be a part of!"

He fixated his eyes back on mine. "There's another party we weren't invited to?"

I squinted my eyes at him in frustration. "No, Aries. The three of you were going on and on about how you guys want nothing to do with Scorpio," I explained.

He bit the inside of his cheek then his eyes lit up after a while. "Oh, yeah!" he laughed. He took a sip from his red cup.

"So have you seen him?" I ask again.

He just looked at me up and down, almost drooling. I crossed my arms and furrowed my brows at him. He's even more perverted when he's drunk.

I took my phone out while Aries' eyes fixated on something else. The time was 11:57PM. I huffed and puffed in frustration. Where the fuck was Scorpio?

"There he is!" Aries says, pointing to a tall, vampire above me.

I finally relaxed. "Thanks, Aries!" I say, giving him a punch on the shoulder. He just smirked at me as I ran to Scorpio now.

"Scorpio! Hey, Scorpio!" I yell over the loud music.

The tall, dark haired turned around to me. He gave me a confused look. "Hey. Everything good?" he asks me, raising his brow.

I nodded as I panted for air. I was really in shape, but pushing over everybody to get to Scorpio was more than just a work out.

"Let's go upstairs!" I say excitedly.

Both of his brows were up now. "No offense, Gemini, but I'm not really looking for a hookup-"

"Ew! Gross! That's most definitely not what I thinking about. I just have to show you something," I say, trying my best not to spoil the surprise.

His expression softened and he shrugged. I quickly looked at my phone to see what time it was. 11:59PM.

My eyes shot right back to Scorpio. "Now! Run!" I say, pushing him to the stairs.

"Hey! You're gonna make me trip!" he yelled at me.

I rolled my eyes at his nagging. "Shut up, and just run!"

Scorpio and I were running up the stairs, with me behind him pushing him to go faster. When we got there, I remembered that we had to go to Cancer's room. She wanted to plan it in Scorpio's room, but we all know how Scorpio was with his privacy.

I walk in front of him and saw the time on the hallway clock. It was still 11:59PM. There was a few seconds until Scorpio's birthday. I put my hand on Cancer's doorknob.

"Why are we going into Cancer's room? If you're planning on snooping through her things, I'm out of it," he says with his arms crossed.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut the hell up, Scorpio."

I turned the knob and inside the room, it was dark. Except for a huge LED light clock that read 11:59PM then to 12:00AM. As that happened, the lights turned on and everyone except for the Fire Signs were there.

"SURPRISE!!!" Everyone screamed in unison.

Scorpio's eyes widened. In Cancer's room, there were cool chocolate fountains, bottles of alcohol in a cooler, balloons, etc. You name it! Thank god this mansion has enough space to have all this stuff in a room.

Cancer walked up to him. "I'm sorry about our fight earlier, Scorpio. I don't want you to think that I don't want you to have anymore friends. I don't know why I keep getting mad or whatever, but it's not fair to you. Can we be cool again?" she asked him, giving a weak smile.

Scorpio squinted his eyes at her. We all thought he was about to be as stubborn as Taurus. He then smiled and rolled his eyes. "Of course, we're cool!" he says, bringing her into a hug.

I could see Cancer's weak smile turn genuine. I also feel like a bad friend. I didn't even know they were arguing. What the hell happened with them?

"Awww!" I hear Taurus in the back say.

Cancer and Scorpio stopped hugging to look at Taurus. Cancer's face turned red while Scorpio was just looking at the room to see all the effort she did for him.

I walk past them both. "Can we not stand in front of the door? Let's have some fun in here or something," I say, fixing my devil horns.

Cancer closed the door behind Scorpio. He went straight to the cooler filled with alcohol. He opened a bottle of champagne that fizzed in the air.

"Here's to being 21!" he says, raising the bottle in the air.

Everyone woo'ed and cheered him on. This is probably the most excited I've seen him. We've celebrated his birthday before, but I don't think he was ever this happy. Especially, when he's kind of sober.

"I almost thought you weren't gonna make it on time," Cancer whispered to me and nudged my arm.

I smirked. "Then why would you put me on Scorpion duty?"

She rolled her eyes. "Because you suck at setting things up."

I scoffed and laughed. "I do not!"

She rose a brow at me. "Oh, yeah? What about that time when I asked you to set up Libra's birthday party? And Taurus'. And Aqua's. And-"

"Okay, okay, I get it," I say rolling my eyes at her and motioning my hands for her to stop talking.

She laughed. "It's all good anyway. You're still one of my greatest friends even though you are totally unreliable."

I smirked at her. "What even happened between you and Scorpio?" I ask her, being completely serious now.

Her eyes were now fixated on the drunk Aquarius and Taurus flirting with each other. "It doesn't even matter anymore," she replies, not looking at me.

I turn my head to Aquarius and Taurus too while nodding at her response. "I didn't know anything was going on."

She looked at me now. "That's because it wasn't that big of a deal," she says, almost laughing.

I shrugged. Oh well. If she didn't want to tell me, she doesn't have to. I won't force her.

Aquarius had both of her arms around Taurus' neck and he was just smiling at her. It looked as if they were both going to kiss. They never did though. They were talking about who knows what. I would assume they were already dating, but I wasn't going to jump to conclusions.

"Can they just make out already," Cancer whispers to me.

I look back at her and laughed. "Hey! Be patient! They actually just might!" I say to her then looking back at Aqua and Taur.

I really thought that those two were going to kiss. Maybe even hug each other tighter or something. Aquarius decided to let go of Taurus and grabbed his hand as they ran across the room for more alcohol. They were already so drunk.

"Damn it," Cancer says.

Next thing you know, Scorpio comes up to the both of us. We were still a few feet away from the door just watching everybody. "So are you guys going to drink or what?" he asks us, holding the bottle of champagne.

Cancer smiled at him, took the neck of the bottle, and took a long sip from it. She handed it to me as I drunk from it too. Let's just say that wasn't our only bottle we had tonight...

°°°

An hour later, I was slow dancing with Virgo. Scorpio was talking to the drunken Lyra, Auriga, Cass, and Cancer. Taurus was drinking from the chocolate fountain. Not kidding. He seriously pulled out a straw to drink it like soda. Cepheus and Pisces fell asleep on Cancer's bed. Aquarius was braiding Pisces' hair while he was sleeping. Cap and Libra were by a corner whispering things to each other and laughing. They were so great together. It's about time they're dating.

"Virrrrgoooo," I started singing in her ear.

Everyone here was pretty much wasted except for Virgo, Scorpio, Libra, and Cap.

Virgo started laughing. "Yes, Gemini?"

She twirled me around making my dizzy head spin faster. My devil horns fell off during it, so I reached down to pick them back up. My balance was so off that Virgo had to help me stand up. I was closing my eyes to ignore the dizzy world as I smiled when I was standing again.

"Thanks, Virgin," I say to her, laughing. She didn't say anything but step on my foot. "Owie! That hurts," I say, pouting as I was still closing my eyes.

She chuckled. "Good."

I opened my eyes again and the word was still kind of spinning. It wasn't as bad as when I almost fell though. I look above Virgo and see that Cap and Libra were making out now. Her whole entire body on top of his. It was like watching the beginning of a porn video.

"Gross!" I yell over to them.

Virgo turned around, and Cap and Libra turned around to us with their faces turning super red. I drunkenly smirked at both of them as I twirled Virgo around.

"What time is it?" I hear Aqua ask from Cancer's bed beside me.

Scorpio took out his phone. "It's past 1. Do you think we should close the party now?" he asked.

Cancer shrugged. "If you want to," she says almost falling drunk off her ass.

Scorpio heads to the door to found some people making out. "Hey! Leave! Party's over tell your friends to get a sober ride or something," he says pointing down the stairs.

Everyone started to head downstairs with him except for Pisces, Cepheus, Cap, and Libra who were probably dry fucking and making out in that corner again.

When we went downstairs, half of the party was already gone. I'm surprised because usually the Fire Signs would try to hype everyone up, making them stay longer.

"Party's over. Go home now," Virgo yelled to everyone while standing on the living room table. She looked around to look for the Fire Signs which could be easier for her since now the table makes her height taller.

"Where's Aries, Sagi, and Leo?" she asked with a confused look on her face.

Taurus shrugged and walked to the kitchen.

"I saw Aries an hour ago. Sag is probably with Neil, and I haven't seen Leo all night," I respond, almost falling again.

This time, Aqua helps me stand back up. I smile as a thanks to her as she drunkenly smiled at me too. Virgo huffed and puffed an irritating breath.

"I can try to call Leo and ask where he's at," Lyra suggested.

Virgo rolled her eyes at her. "Go ahead, Lima."

"It's Lyra."

"I said that."

"No, yo-"

"Are you calling Leo or not?" Virgo asks, frustrated.

Aqua and I started to laugh at this. It was obvious Virgo didn't like Lyra. I just didn't know why. Virgo's not even a type of person to act like this which was funny.

Lyra tried calling Leo on her phone, but he didn't answer. Virgo rolled her eyes when he didn't.

"Sorry," Lyra says, putting her phone in her bra. "Auriga, Cass. Are you guys ready to go?"

Auriga was also sober so she decided to drive the other two home. Soon, almost everyone was gone out of the mansion. At least I hope everyone. Virgo jumped down from the table and smashed the loud music off. When she did, she could hear giggling somewhere. We all could.

"Y'all hear that?" Scorpio asks, cocking his head at all of us.

At this moment, I was already walking up to a closet to open. In there, it was Sag, Leo, and Aries. They all looked at me in surprise.

My eyes widened. "What the hell are you guys doing in here?" I ask.

"Maybe having a threesome," Scorpio says, smirking. Cancer pushed him when he said that as he began to chuckle.

Leo got outside of the closet first followed with Aries then Sag. "I told you guys to shut up!" Sag says, pushing the two boys.

Virgo cocked her head at all of them, especially Sag who was the only half sober one.

She sighed. "We were planning on pranking you guys," she says, hesitating to even let out the truth.

Virgo looked at Leo now. "Leo, what did I say about pranks?" she asked, frustrated.

Leo rolled his eyes as he put an arm around both of her shoulders, making her wince at how sweaty he was. "It wasn't my idea this time! It was Aries'!" he says, pointing a finger to his best friend across from him.

Aries glared at him. "You selling me out?"

Leo lets go of Virgo and covers his mouth with both of his hands.

"Aries, chill. You're both drunk," she says, rolling her eyes at the two idiots.

Aries and Leo ended up laughing like crazy. Sag looked at the rest of us who were drunk. "You guys are too?" she asks, gesturing a hand to all of us.

Virgo shook her head. "Scorpio and I aren't. Libra and Cap aren't either, but they're upstairs," she says.

"Where's Neil?" I ask her.

She shrugged his shoulders. "He left a while ago," she replied.

Scorpio rose a brow. "Why?"

Hearing Scorpio's voice made Sagittarius irritated for some reason. It was obvious they didn't get along, but something was bothering her when Scorpio asked that. "Because he needed to go home."

Scorpio pressed his lips together and slowly nodded. I didn't know if he believed her or not. I didn't care though. I'm drunk and seriously almost falling every second.

"Neil is hottttt," I started singing impulsively.

Sag's eyes grew wide. "I mean- okay."

Aries rolled his eyes. "I'm hotter."

"You sound like Leo," Virgo chuckles.

"I'm beautiful!" Leo says, pointing a finger to her face.

She pushed his finger away and walked towards the stairs. "Go to sleep, guys. You're all going to get one hell of a hangover tomorrow," she says, almost laughing at us.

Aqua rolled her eyes. "She's always so bossy!"

"What was that?" Virgo yelled from down the stairs.

"Nothing!"

Everyone was laughing as Virgo smirked and walked up to her room. Taurus came from the kitchen and stumbled his way upstairs too. Aqua, then Cancer, then the Fire Signs followed them.

Downstairs, it was just me and Scorpio now. I was too dizzy to even go upstairs. I gave Scorpio a sly, weak smile. He rolled his eyes as he walked up to me and flung my arm over his shoulder.

"Thank youuuuu," I sang as I was waving my hands in his face.

He rolled his eyes and didn't bother saying "you're welcome." We were both walking up the stairs right now. I'm pretty sure my hangover will be worse than anybody's right now. When we were up there, everybody was in their rooms. Not sure about Cap, Libra, Cepheus, and Pisces, but I'm pretty sure everyone else was.

My room was on the other side of the hall. Scorpio opened the door to his room first.

"This is not my room. Am I being kidnapped?" I asked, almost falling as he left his grip off me.

He rolled his eyes. "Shut the hell up. I just need to take my shoes off, I've been wearing them all day," he says as he sat on his bed.

I was leaning against the wall, trying to keep my steady balance. My devil horns almost fell again. He kicked his shoes off and saw a small box sitting perfectly on his bed. It was a creamed colored small box with a black ribbon. There was even a bow on it.

"What's that?" I say, hiccuping afterwards.

He ran his fingers through his hair. "A box."

I rolled my eyes so hard, my head felt like it was about to explode. "Duh! What's in the box? Can I open it? Gimme-"

"Chill out," he says, motioning a hand for me to shut up. He pulled the ribbon and it untied itself. When he opened the box, I saw a smile across his face. I kept trying to see what it was, but I didn't want to leave the wall. I would've fell and busted my ass if I did.

"What is it?" I say as he just continued smiling.

He took out whatever was in the box and held it up. It was a keychain of a scorpion. Pretty badass if you ask me. It was black and pretty shiny. He turned it around, and you could see his Scorpio sign carved on it.

"That's shinyyyy," I started singing, almost getting away from the wall.

He nodded in agreement while still smiling. "Cancer is the best," he says.

I smiled at the fact he was smiling. "Does it say anything else?"

He looked through the small box and found a tiny note. "Yeah," he says.

"Well read it to me!" I demanded.

He rolled his eyes at me as he stopped smiling. "It says, 'Scorpio, I hope you have a great birthday. You remind me of somebody that I once met. You're annoying almost all the time, but it doesn't stop me from wishing you a happy birthday. I know the gift is pretty plain, but I do hope that you like it. Happy birthday!'" he read while smiling again.

I smiled. "Cancer really is the best," I say to him.

He nodded. "Yeah. I need to thank her tomorrow."

I tilted my head. "Why tomorrow?"

He got back up off the bed. "Because you need to go to sleep and so do I. C'mon," he says, putting my arm over his shoulders again.

Now, we were both walking to my room. I kept looking straight ahead and back at him. He was still smiling at the note and the keychain he had. I sleepishly smiled seeing his happiness. I've never seen him this happy before.

When I got to my room, he waved to me goodnight and walked back to his. Honestly, I wasn't even that sleepy anymore. I just wanted to jump up and down and do crazy things. I changed into a sweatshirt and leggings to sleep in and also washed all the makeup from my face. I could've sworn my drunk ass would've drowned in the water when rinsing it all off. I had bottles of water beside my bed in case I was going to get this drunk. Y'know, to sober myself. I still wasn't completely sober, of course, nor was I dizzy anymore.  A few minutes after I turn my TV on, a knock was at my door.

Who the hell wants me at 2AM?

I groaned as I got up out of bed to walk to the door. When I opened it, I saw Aries who was in a white tee shirt and jogging pants. His brown hair was extremely messy, and I could tell he was still a bit drunk.

"Aries, you good?" I ask him.

He nodded and walked inside. I closed the door behind him and carefully watched him pace around in my room.

"Can you go to sleep?" I say, half drunkenly.

"Um," he starts saying.

He was playing with his thumbs now. I tilted my head at him. Is he okay?

He walked up to me now. He was tall compared to me, so I had to look directly at him to see his facial expression.

"Are you still drunk?" he says, smirking now.

I scoffed. "No!" I lied.

I was drunk. My thoughts were super sober, but my actions sure as hell were drunk. It's like all I could think about was to see what he wanted. My actions wanted to do some really crazy shit though. I know good and well I wasn't going to remember any of this by the morning. I was still probably about to have the worst hangover tomorrow.

"That's a shame," he says. He was walking away from me now. "I want to do something fun," he says.

I look at him and saw his back turned to me. "Really? Me too!" I say, letting the drunk side take over.

What was this? It's like I have literally two sides of me. I've never felt sober and drunk at the same time. It was all just weird. It's usually just one or the other.

Aries looked at me now. I could tell how much of a flirt he was being. He walked up to me now and snaked an arm around my waist. One side of me wanted to do the most craziest thing possible and fuck him right here in my room. The other side of me doesn't want to be on his "bang list." The list is already long enough.

He pulled me in closer to him and I could feel his warm aura all over me. "Will this be fun for you? Because you can tell me to stop anytime now," he says, putting his face in my neck.

Did I want him to stop? I didn't know. The two sides of me were just fighting each other. The real question was: Which side will win?

I look up at Aries as he took his face away from my neck trying to read my facial expressions. He was so drunk and so lustful. Lustful was normal, but I never thought he would come for me. That doing was his drunk side taking over.

Both sides of me were still fighting. I thought for a second. If he was drunk, he wouldn't remember any of this. I wouldn't remember any of this. I didn't know if I wanted to take that risk.

Without realizing it, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him. I didn't even know why. Aries and I are really great friends. I just hope I know that I'll forget this so nothing will seem so awkward between us. Kissing him made me think. Has he done this with Sag before? They were pretty close too. I couldn't think of that right now. All I could think about was for myself to try not to moan as he started kissing my neck now.

I kept asking myself over and over. Do I really want to stop? My two sides were still battling on which choice I should make. Finally, one side won.

Do I want to stop?

...

No.
