I'm sorry for the delay but here it is. I tried to make it fluffy.

Leo's known Taurus for a while now. They met when they were little when Leo stole Taurus's princess doll for his kingdom because he needed a princess and that resulted in Taurus crying and punching Leo and Leo apologizing.

Ever since then, they kinda hated each other but somehow became friends. Of course things are different now, Taurus and him were still close friends but not best friends.

But lately since the new student, Capricorn, has been hanging around Taurus a lot lately and it's making Leo anxious.

"Look man, I don't know what you're scared for, Taurus is super chill about everything I don't think she would go for a dude like Cap." Aries said on the rooftop. "I actually talked to him and he's a pretty calm and emotionless."

"What kind of dudes does she go for then?" Leo asked.

"How would I know?" Aries replied, shrugging. "Nice and selfless ones?"

"Am I nice and selfless?" Leo wondered.

Aries snorted. "No."

"Aries, that doesn't help." Gemini said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, Aries." Leo glared at the tall boy that was laughing.

"Look, there's your Juliet." Gemini said, pointed at the courtyard down below.

Leo scrambled to get up, spilling his lunch across the cement and peeked over the edge.

Aries rolled his eyes behind him while Gemini watched in amusement.

Taurus was sitting with her friends Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn. Laughing at what Virgo said, Cap watched as Taurus was going to spill her milk and grabbed it before it tilted in her hand and spilling all over her school uniform. Leo watched his hand touched hers and Taurus smiling in thanks.

"That smooth bastard." Leo muttered.

"Just go talk to her and steer her away from Cap." Gemini said. "And that should put you in the center focus."

"That's smart, Gemini." Aries said, putting down his sandwich. "Wow, you actually can do something."

"What is that suppose to mean?" Gemini gritted his teeth.

"Thank, maybe I can make plans with her today." Leo cut their argument off.

He left before he could face the fire of Aries's insult and the wrath of Gemini. Lunch was about over anyway and also was hoping to go bump into Taurus when she isn't with Cap.

He spotted her putting away her lunchbox in her locker and walked up, playing it cool.

"Hey." He said, shoving his hands into his pocket and greeting Taurus.

"Hey, Leo." She smiled. "It's been a while since we talked."

"Yeah, maybe we should hang out sometime." Leo proposed.

"Sure! Maybe Libra and Capricorn can come." She grinned. The locker door slammed shut as he felt his anger resurface in the back of his brain.

"Maybe not..." Leo felt a blush rise up in his cheeks. "I was hoping we can hang out one on one, you know?"

"Oh..." She flushed a light pink before sending him a suspicious look. "Are you sure you aren't going to try anything funny?"

He blushed a deeper red as he imagined kissing her. "No!—I mean... if you wanna." He teased.

Taurus blushed. "U-Um—"

"So this Saturday?" He asked. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I think I'm free." Taurus said.

"When are you not free?" Leo said. "It's not like you have a life."

"Hey! I do have a life, you know." Taurus snapped, playfully. "I actually have plans with Capricorn this Friday."

Leo gritted his teeth, then smiling. "Well, I'll come over to your house around noon as usual. Seeya."

"Seeya..." Taurus said, quietly.

"And then he made plans with me this Saturday." Taurus finished telling Libra. She sighed, looking down. "I don't know if I wanna keep talking to him, I just feel like I'm not that special anymore... honestly, I wish I can just confess but I don't think he feels the same way."

"From what you told me, he doesn't seem to like Cap." Libra mused.

"Really?" Taurus asked, widening her eyes. "Why do you think so?"

"I mean, he didn't want me and him to come hang out and he paused a little when you mentioned your plans with Cap." She explained in a obvious tone.

"What about me?" Capricorn came up behind Libra. His curious eyes waited for Libra to respond.

"We're talking about Taurus's little problem with Leo." She explained.

"Oh, he doesn't like me doesn't he." His eyes crinkled with amusement.

"You figured it out?" Taurus said.

"Well yeah, I have Science with him and he doesn't really seem excited to be paired up with me." Capricorn shrugged. "I understand, I mean if your crush was hanging out with a person so much you would feel that way."

"Crush?" Taurus echoed.

"It's obvious when you actually pay attention." Capricorn said. "Also, Aries kinda spilled."

"He isn't really good at keep secrets once you figured it out." Libra agreed.

"W-What now?" Taurus said, her face was frozen in shock.

"What do you mean?" Libra asked, raising a eyebrow. "You obviously go and try to get him to confess."

"And how does she do that?" Cap asked, surprised at what Libra proposed.

"She teases him—"

"Tease huh?" Cap chuckled at his joke.

Libra rolled her eyes. "Not like that, you know what I mean— anyway you try to get him to talk like play some ideas of you and Cap together–"

"What?" Cap interrupted. "Look, I don't want people getting the wrong idea—I like—"

"Yeah, yeah I meant that she was going to joke around not actually announce you guys as a couple chill." Libra said, rolling her eyes.

"I don't know if I can do that." Taurus sounded unsure. Her eyes shifted, nervous.

"Or if you really don't like that idea, you could ask him about his crush." Libra suggested.

"If he has one." Taurus muttered.

"It's just asking him if he has a crush, just normal friend stuff." Libra encouraged.

"I'm not really that special enough anymore. He's been acting kinda different and I don't really know if I can ask him something like that." Taurus argued.

"You had been thinking about that anyway so..." Cap encouraged. Capricorn elbowed her lightly and since he was a lot taller it he touched her shoulders. "You've known him for the longest if you aren't fit to ask that no one is."

"...I guess." She sighed, running her hands through her hair. "I can't keep waiting, it'll drive me crazy."

It's been a while since Leo's been alone with Taurus. Ever since he identified his feelings for her, he's been obsessed. It's only changed since Capricorn entered the picture. He felt like a hissing cat when around him.

Leo stood in front her door. He felt like he was suppose to do something like check his breath and appearance but he already did in the car.

He texted her that he was here. She automatically responded that she'll come right down.

"—don't get it, I'm just gonna try to pry info out of him." He could hear her voice say behind the door.

When she opened the door, he notice her shove something in her back pocket and smile at him casually.

"Who were you on the phone with?" He asked as he came in.

She blinked. "What?"

"I heard you through the door." He said. "Pry what info?"

"Oh.. I was just... talking about Capricorn." She said quickly. "So he... um he's been acting distant lately and I want to know what's going on."

"Distant?" He frowned.

"Yeah, I... I... um, I wanted to tell him something but since he's been distant I don't think I'll go through with the plan." She explained.

"Tell him what?" He asked. Leo felt fear of her developing a crush on Capricorn coming true.

"Um, that's not important." Taurus said, her eyes shifted as she walked to the living room.

Leo followed close behind, curious and afraid on what he might find out.

She plopped on the couch. The TV was already on but the volume was turned down. On the coffee table was a glass of water and a plate of cookies.

"Do you like Capricorn?" He asked. Leo felt himself stop breathing, waiting for her response.

Taurus froze and turned to look at him. "No? Why do ask?" Her voice was unsure.

He exhaled. "It sounds like you have a crush on him and you've been hanging out with him a lot lately." Leo explained.

"Oh... I guess when you put it that way, but I've been hanging a lot around you lately and by your logic, shouldn't I have a crush on you and all the guys I hang out with?" Taurus said, quietly.

Leo froze. She was right. But is she teasing or serious.

"You mean you do?" Leo asked.

"Have a crush on the guys I hang out with?" Taurus asked.

Leo didn't want to say anything. He felt like this was the closest he was ever going to get to know if she has a crush on someone or not. He mentally prepared himself for the information. "So do you have a crush?"

"Well, I do have a crush on someone." She muttered.

Leo waited for more.

Taurus peeked a glance at him. He was anxiously awaiting her response.

"He's someone I've known for a really long time and I... I don't know how long I can keep waiting for him to come around because I don't know if he feels the same way." Taurus sounded sad. "I don't want to keep waiting around for nothing because it hurts too much."

Leo racked his brain, putting anyone that's known her for a long time. There was about 5 possibilities including himself. He thought about how she acted around them. Who was more likely to be her crush?

"What about you?" She asked, snapping him out of his theorizing.

"I, um, I like someone too." He said. Leo was distracted but all the possibilities of her crush. Someone she's known for the a really long time and is a male.

"Really? You don't really seem like the type to like someone to be honest." She said.

"Yeah, well she's special." He said.

"Special..." Taurus echoed, quietly.

There was a silence between them. Taurus was waiting for Leo to say something but he was too wrapped up in his thinking. She mentally sighed and wrapped her hands neatly in her lap. Taurus gathered up all her courage because clearly Leo wasn't going to say something.

"Am... Am I special?" She asked, her voice wavering.

"What?" Leo was taken aback at her question.

"Am I special?" She asked, her voice louder and clearer.

"Of course." He answered without thinking.

"Then can I just ask you who your crush is?" Taurus asked. Her voice was getting frustrated.

"Why do you want to know?" Leo retaliated.

"I'm your friend and I'm curious." Taurus defended.

"Stop getting all up in my business." Leo shot back. "This is why I kinda stopped hanging around you."

"T-This is why I like Capricorn more than you." Taurus stuttered violently.

"Of course you would go for guys like that." He scoffed.

"What do you mean?" Taurus would not let him insult his friend who had nothing to do with this conversation.

"Since you want me to tell my crush so bad, who's your crush?" Leo asked, narrowing his eyes at Taurus.

"That's—" her voice sputtered.

"If you tell me your crush I'll tell you mind since you want to know so bad." He said.

"Fine." She snapped.

"I like you." Leo said, then standing up. "Now you know, are you happy?"

Taurus stared at him. "I-I—Yes, I'm happy." She said, standing up too and glaring at him. "Is that why you've been acting different lately? Why could you be more upfront about this? This could've been avoided if you'd just been more clear."

"What?" Leo was confused at all the questions that Taurus just shot at him. "Wait does this mean you like me too?"

"Yes." Taurus felt like she was on he verge of tears. She's never really fought with Leo before.

"I don't get what's going on." He said, confused still.

"Why couldn't you just tell me?" Taurus asked. It was more rhetorical since she knew why but she wanted to hear him say it.

"Well, Capricorn was hanging around you and I felt like he was better and... I wouldn't blame you for liking him." Leo said, his voice lowered. "And... I felt like there was this distance between us."

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Taurus agreed. "But Capricorn is his own person and he's more of a friend to me than boyfriend material."

"And I'm boyfriend material?" Leo wiggles his eyebrows while leaning closer to her. They were close to each other.

Taurus blushed at their closeness but didn't move. "Well yeah, why else would I like you."

"I like hearing you say that." He said, smiling.

"What?" Taurus frowned, confused.

"Hearing you say that you like me." Leo smiled wider. "It's nice."

"I like you, Leo." She said, wrapped her arms around him.

"I like you too." He kissed her forehead.
