That's How It Works

Virgo groans as she types away at her laptop. She looks down at her watch and sighs in relief.

Just five more minutes.

Just five more minutes of work, and then she gets to go back home to her mansion. Virgo shuts down her laptop and looks around at her coworkers for a few minutes. It was just five in the evening, but most of them looked exhausted and like they just wanted to get back home.

She stuffs her laptop in its bag and picks the bag up, looking down at her watch once again before leaving the building and getting into her car to drive back home.

"Aqua," Cancer groans as she looks at her friend, "There's a reason why I didn't want you to help me cook." She glances down at Aquarius's finger, which now had a little cut on it.

"But I wanted to spend time with you," Aquarius says, slightly wincing at the pain, "And I didn't want you doing all the work."

Cancer walks over to Aquarius and places her hands on both of her shoulders, "I forbid you from ever entering the kitchen ever again to cook." She leads Aquarius to the stool by the island, "Sit."

Aquarius sits down, "It's just a little cut."

"I refuse to be the one to feel the guilt when you accidentally cut off your finger one day."

Taurus walks into the kitchen without a word and smiles at Cancer, then he sits across from Aquarius, "What's up with your face?"

"I just got forbidden from ever entering the kitchen."

Taurus looked almost relieved, "I mean, Aquarius, you did burn the bottom of the kettle the other day trying to boil water."

"That was two years ago, Taurus, I'm a changed person now."

"Sure." Taurus sighs.

"Can you guys stop bickering? I had a tiring day at work." Virgo voices as she walks into the kitchen with Libra by her side.

Taurus and Aquarius just looked at each other, choosing to stay silent in an unspoken agreement.

Libra spots Cancer and immediately walks up to her and sits on the countertop, watching her cut down some chicken. Libra watched as Cancer took a small piece of the meat, placed it on a plate and gave it to Aquarius, "Tell me how it tastes."

Aquarius smiles. Best friend perks. She took a bite of the chicken and any traces of doubt on her face immediately disappeared, "It's amazing."

Cancer smiles before placing the lasagna in the oven.

"Not fair," Taurus whines under his breath, "Why is she the only one who gets to try it?"

Virgo takes a seat at the head of the island table.

Aries and Pisces walk in right then, Aries looks around, "Why is everyone here?"

"We're hungry," Taurus replies.

"Ah..." Aries trails off and takes a seat beside Aquarius and watches Pisces take a seat beside Virgo.

Sagittarius stands by the doorway with Gemini in his arm, "Y'all are so boring, I was thinking we could watch a movie." He groans, walking in.

Scorpio walked in without saying a word, and the second Aries spotted him, he instinctively shifted a place over, one seat away from Aquarius.

"Hey Scorpio," Aries smiled at him.
