Taurus POV
Cancer scribbled something down on a piece of paper, then frowned and erased it. I popped up over his shoulder.
"Whatcha doing?"
"D'aah!" Cancer yelled, covering up the paper. He stared ahead for a moment then turned to look at me. "Dude, I'm starting to get why people call you Nico Di Angelo 2.0."
I folded my arms and tried to take a peek at the paper. "What's that?"
Scorpio strolled by and plucked it out of Cancer's hands, read through it real quick, then slammed it down so that the back of the paper faced up. I blinked as Cancer shoved the paper on his lap.
"Hot chocolate recipe," he said with a fake smile. "You're not allowed to read it."
I narrowed my eyes and Scorpio walked past me on his phone. "I couldn't understand half of it."
Cancer got up slowly and hid the paper behind his back. "Ah -- well, I have to go talk to . . . Capricorn. See ya!"
He ran off with the paper and I stared after him, slightly confused. "What?"
"It's nothing," Scorpio said, still on his phone. He frowned at it and sent back a reply.
"Who're you talking to?" I asked, bored.
"Aries," Scorpio mumbled, sending back another reply. "She's being stupid."
"You guys are like twins, I swear," I said, walking past him to the kitchen. "Except she's all social and energetic and you're all emo and moody."
Scorpio shot him a glare. "I am not emo."
I shrugged, grinning. "I like making people annoyed, don't take it too personally."
Scorpio turned his glare to his phone. "Apparently Drake's showing her something. I don't know what."
"What did you tell her?" I asked.
Scorpio shrugged. "That she couldn't trust the guy, and then --" he checked his phone, "-- yeah, she blocked me."
I patted him on the shoulder. "Aww, protective big brother. Uh -- you are older than her, right?"
He nodded. "Yeah . . . strange, Sagittarius is older than her, too," he mumbled.
I blinked -- those two sometimes seemed like the youngest out of all of us -- but continued. "Um, I think she just wants Capricorn back, to be honest. But ever since the fight, he hasn't been there, so --"
"Drake is trying to fill in his spot," Scorpio grumbled. "I know. They've been hanging out a lot the past few days, but I can tell Aries isn't really having as much fun as she'd have with Cap. Dude will only get her to fall for him in his dreams."
I nodded, glad someone understood. I've definitely been spending too much time with Libra. "Speaking of Capricorn -- partly, anyways -- Cancer went to see him, right?"
