City lights & Starry skies (Capricorn x Virgo)

4

In Virgo's car:

"How did you find me?" Capricorn asked, turning her head to look at him.

Virgo was sitting on the driver's seat, he was looking straight ahead, his face serious. "I have my ways." He started driving.

"I'm surprised, I never thought you'd be a 'big' gangster."

"Now answer my question. What happened?"

"I'm pretty sure you have ways to find out about that as well."

"I have. But I want to hear it from you."

Something looked different. He didn't have that much 'joy' or 'funniness' in his voice, but more of 'seriousness'.

"My stepfather was forcing me to marry his friend's son."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"What difference would it have made."

She could feel the increasing speed of the car. She glanced at him who had a very angry look. His jaw was clenched and his eyes looked murderous. She couldn't understand why he was angry.

"Who do you want me to kill? Your father, his friend, or the son? Perhaps all?"

"I don't want you to kill anyone. Are you crazy?"

"In my world, if we don't like someone, we kill them."

"Your world is messed up."

"Then what do you want?!"

"I just...never want to go back. But my dad has power. And he will look for me, eventually, he'll find me. And I'm not even sure what he'll do this time. I can't even tell any of my friends about this, it will put them in danger. I ran away but I don't know what to do. I've never felt this hopeless, so fucking hopeless."

"Come with me, nothing will happen."

"Go with you? I can't depend on someone else."

"Do you have a better opinion? Are you gonna live on the streets? Or do you have any money? Even if you find a place to live, you'll get caught."

"But I-" She looked down. He had power, that can protect her against Cancer Mr. Lee.

She looked outside the window trying to hide her tears, but he saw she was crying.

Again, Capricorn had to make everything look real.

His own eyes got teary from seeing her tears, he saw a blur for a second before he wiped his tears away with his hand. "Don't cry. It makes me want to rip their heads off." He intertwined his fingers with hers. Sparks.

"Don't harm them."

"Why do you care so much?"

"Because Cancer Mr. Lee is Taurus Mark's father, the person who is like a brother to me. And whoever that guy was, I'm sure he was also forced into this."

"Then make a decision. Get out of this car right now and then you'll go back to your pitiful life, or put your ignorance aside and come with me and things might get better." He clearly looked angry and scary.

She put her hands on her face and started sobbing.

He stopped the car.

He gave her an unexpected hug. Tingles. She froze, her sobs coming to an end.

"I'm so sorry. Capricorn, this is how I am, I forgot you never saw me like this, I shouldn't have been harsh. Don't cry, your tears are more precious than diamonds."

"It's okay Virgo. I'll come with you."

"I'll protect you, I promise."

Her heart started beating fast. She didn't know why. She wanted it to stop. She didn't want any feelings to get involved in this.
