Constellations Of The Heart

2.

In the vibrant pink and bedazzled room of Cancer's adorned with stuffed animals and fairy lights, Cancer and Pisces were nestled cozily together on Cancer's bed. They had decided to seize the day by getting to know one another a bit more intimately than the others.

"I'm really curious. You mentioned that you enjoyed singing. Can I hear?" Cancer asked, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm as she fidgeted with a particularly fluffy unicorn stuffed animal.

Pisces blushed under Cancer's expectant gaze. "Well, okay then! I'm going to sing my favorite song, 'Exist for Love' by Aurora!" She beamed with joy, recalling the moments spent belting it out in her shower.

Cancer nodded enthusiastically, clapping her hands in excitement. As Pisces cleared her throat, the other housemates busied themselves in different rooms, blissfully unaware of the performance about to unfold.

Pisces took a deep breath and began to sing, her voice soft and melodic yet somehow piercing through the chaos. As she sang, Cancer couldn't help but sway side to side, totally entranced.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Aries was trying to concoct a "superhero smoothie" made from a blend of every fruit he could find. Taurus walked in, smirking. "Hey, is that supposed to be edible or just look cool?"

"Both! This is going to be epic!" Aries declared, oblivious to the bits of banana flying from the blender as he whirled it into a frenzy. Taurus raised an eyebrow, convinced that this might end in disaster.

In the living room, Scorpio was engaged in a game of chess with Libra. "Checkmate," Scorpio grinned, folding his arms triumphantly.

"What? No way! You can't move that diagonal!" Libra protested, grabbing the board to check his faux pas. Suddenly, in his fervor, he knocked over Scorpio's king. The two burst into laughter, a tangle of competitive spirits unraveling into carefree banter.

On the other side of the house, Gemini was flipping through a stack of magazines with Leo, who was assisting her in organizing the collection. "Okay, this one can go in fashion and this one for travel," Gemini commented.

"Who even still reads magazines?" Leo shrugged, quizzical. "Just Google it!"

"Shhhh! These are vintage gems!" Gemini retorted playfully, rolling her eyes but smiling nevertheless. Leo smirked back, loving the friendly back-and-forth.

In the meantime, in a room where the walls were painted with an artistic flair, Aquarius was meditating, blissfully unbothered by the noise outside. "Inner peace," he chanted in a serene voice, trying to drown out Aries' blender...and failing.

Back in Cancer's room, Pisces continued her song, and Cancer clapped along, completely unabashed by the mounting discord in the house. The duo shared a moment of pure bliss, their laughter mingling with the other sounds, creating a harmony all their own.

"Sagittarius! My man! I want you for a very important question," he blurted, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

"What? And stop smiling at me like that. You're creeping me out," Sagittarius replied, crossing his arms and arching an eyebrow.

"Fine. Anyway, do you smoke weed?" Aries dropped the question bluntly.

Sagittarius raised his other eyebrow. "Yes, I do. Why?"

"Great! Wanna form an alliance with me... and become my smoke buddy?" Aries said, wiggling his eyebrows like a character from a cheesy sitcom.

Sagittarius smirked, his expression suddenly animated. "Damn straight!" He extended his hand, and they shared a solemn, enthusiastic handshake that made a promise heavier than an elephant.
