Time jump (Ch. 9)

AQUARIUS'S POV:

Time seemed to fly by and it was only after Capricorn, Virgo, and I all graduated from university that I realized just how real that was.

Scorpio eventually found a job as a professional hockey player, Gemini became a pro dirt biker, and Sagittarius decided to pursue a career as a personal trainer.

Which meant that everyone was out of the house most days.

I woke up early one morning for an early shift, the house was still dark except for the kitchen light That was on down stairs.

"I could have sworn that V didn't have an early shift today" I thought and crept down the stairs.

Sure enough I found Virgo sitting at the counter with Pisces and Taurus.

"Why are you guys up so early?" I asked as I wandered in, still surprised that the other two were awake.

"Dealing with these two " Virgo said and rubbed her eyes.

I looked at Pisces and Taurus, bags under their eyes and red, stuffed noses.

They both groaned and slumped into their chairs.

"I have a feeling someone brought home something from work... hopefully it's nothing too serious" Virgo said as she took a sip of her coffee.

She stuck a thermometer in Pisces mouth.

"I'd be careful if I were you Virgo, I don't know what were going to do if you get sick" I said with a scoff.

"I'm sure Capricorn would love to take over my job" Virgo said sarcastically.

The thermometer beeped and she pulled it out of Pisces mouth.

"No fever..." She let out a sigh of relief

"Yet."

"For now... let's get you two to bed" she said and began leading the two girls out.

"Good luck" I said loudly as they walked away

"Thanks"

A COUPLE HOURS BEFORE (No one's POV):

Pisces lay in her shared bed at night, eyes wide open as she sneezed for what felt like the hundredth time.

It was only recently that she had started to share a bed with Aries, and this definitely was not a positive note to start it on.

He was fast asleep, it had been a long day for him. So much so that he was completely unfazed by Pisces sneezing and blowing her nose.

She groaned

Rolling out of bed, she sat up and sneezed one more time before sliding her feet into her slippers and shuffling out the door.

The door creaked as she opened it.

She made her way down the hallway and to Virgos room.

Softly, she knocked on the door. The lights in her room were on, as she could see under the crack of the door.

"THUD"

She heard from the other side of the door.

Moment later, virgo opened her door.

"Wha- Pisces?" She asked confused.

"Virgoooo" she whined and threw herself onto her.

"I don't feel good~" she groaned.

Virgo sighed.

"Alright, what would you like me to do about it?" She asked.

"Don't you have like, medicine or something?" Pisces begged and slumped further into Virgos arms.
