Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay?

"Cancer, calm down." Aquarius said, flapping her hands up and down in an attempt to stop her friend from pacing back and forth.

Cancer had hurriedly walked back to find Aquarius at the bar, after her kiss with Libra, and then right after she explained everything to her best friend, Ophiuchus had called all of his zodiacs to get back to the mansion.

Now they were back in their mansion, and the water and air sign were in Cancer's room.

"I kissed Libra." Cancer was hyperventilating, "I fucking kissed her."

And Aquarius didn't even pretend to look surprised, she'd seen it coming.

"There's nothing wrong with that." She simply said.

"Yes, but Taurus."

"You're not dating him or anything." Aquarius replied, slightly shrugging, "Although, he really, REALLY likes you."

Cancer stayed quiet.

"But, you don't have to worry about him." Aquarius said, "He really cares about you, and the last thing he'd want is to hold you back."

"But I like him, too." Cancer whined, "I don't know."

"Cance, I know you're confused." Aquarius said, "It's conflicting, I know."

Cancer nodded.

"Just take your time and think about it."

Cancer, still feeling conflicted, shook her head, "You're right. You're right."

"It'll be alright, Cance." Aquarius said, going in for an embrace that Cancer stepped into.

The signs then stepped out of their room and headed back downstairs to where the rest of the signs had been preparing for a horror movie which they picked out on Netflix. It was around seven in the evening.

Aquarius's eyes quite naturally captured Leo's the second she made it to everyone's sight of vision along with Cancer.

Pisces had been sitting curled up on the sofa, and Aries was sitting next to her, passing occasional glances her way. She caught his glance from her peripheral but she ignored them, shy and awkward.

Aquarius and Cancer picked up one of the folded blankets and sat on the carpet on the floor, resting their backs against parts of the sofa that sat Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius.

Taurus was sitting on another sofa, beside Scorpio. Leo was sitting on the same sofa, leaving plenty room for more.

Capricorn and Virgo were no where to be found, which Libra thought was very suspicious.

Aries started the movie, before returning to the sofa, resting against it.

The movie wasn't all that scary. In the beginning. And then Pisces lightly jumped at every jumpscare, and it was frankly adorable.

Aries reached out after the third hop and held her hand under the blanket. Pisces immediately tore her gaze away from the TV and her eyes turned wider. Aries smiled at her, his face lit up by the light emitted by the screen, in the otherwise dark room.

Gemini and Sagittarius had been experiencing some serious tension when the main female and male actors got into some serious action. And they knew exactly what kind of tension it was.

Sagittarius made the move, and Gemini didn't stop him. Libra moved further towards the end of the couch, far as she could get from the couple that were making out at the other end.

Aquarius and Cancer couldn't stifle their jokes anymore. When the possessed lady in the movie started floating the two signs broke into "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles.
