A Pet's Purpose

Daydream

Virgo heard a soft knock at his door and took a heavy sigh.

"Come in."

"Um...you've been in here for a while. Are you hungry?" Aquarius peeked inside.

"I'm fine."

"You said you wanted to tell me something?" Aquarius remembered.

"Forget about it."

"Do you want me to bring you something to eat then?"

"What I would like is some alone time." Virgo looked at him, annoyed but he didn't raise his voice.

"No you can't do that, go talk to him more!" Cancer whispered behind him.

"But he doesn't want to talk!" Aquarius whispered back.

"Just go inside."

"But-."

"Go now!"

"Fine!" Aquarius awkwardly stepped inside and shut the door.

"What part of 'leave me alone' don't you understand?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Don't I sleep here anyway?"

"About that. You can go back to your room. I've realized how stupid I was to say that."

"But I want to stay." Aquarius said honestly.

Virgo looked up at him and scoffed.

"Well I don't, so please leave from my room." He stood up to be more intimidating.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?" Aquarius stood his ground.

"And why should I?"

"Because—."

"Because we're friends? Because you think you're close to me? Do you understand that you're literally worth nothing to me? I shouldn't have paid attention to you as much as I did."

"I just want to know what happened because it seems like I'm involved." Aquarius was also getting mad.

"Ya, in fact, it's all your fault." He accused.

"I can talk to your father! He seems to like me, I can try." Aquarius offered.

"Just stop. I really don't want to talk to you anymore. It just makes my life harder. You can go hang out with Cancer more. Please." Virgo walked to his closet and pulled out a canvas and some random paints.

"What are you doing?"

"I need to keep myself busy to help me cope." He mumbled and then quickly left the room, leaving Aquarius without any clarification.

"What happened? He just stormed out." Cancer looked inside.

"I don't know! I asked him to explain to me what happened and he refused, now he's cutting me off." Aquarius frowned.

"Okay, I'm just going to tell you what happened but you didn't hear this from me. Understand?" She warned.

Aquarius nodded frantically.

"In short, Virgo likes you." She said after a deep breath.

"W-what?"

"He told father that he liked you and he shut him down."

Aquarius was in shock but everything made sense now.

"How do you know he likes me?"

"For one, I heard him say it before you came. Second, have you not noticed how protective he is of you?"
