A Zodiac summer

GENDERBEND TIME, part 4

Virgo's pov

"Libra, can you please come out?" Capricorn said and knocked on his door. But just like all the other attempts, he didn't reply to her calls. Just like he hadn't talked to her in days either. It was really concerning, so Capricorn and I decided to confront him about it.

Capricorn nudged me to try. "Come on Libra, we know you are in there." When I got no response I said. "You can't avoid us forever you know."

To that he snorted. "You don't know me, do you? I'm a master at avoiding stuff." Somewhere in the background, Scorpio agreed to that.

Capricorn rolled her eyes at that. "Well, avoiding us isn't going to solve anything, Libra!" She leaned against the wall, clearly frustrated. "We just want to help you!"

"Can we come in?" I asked again. "Please?"
But once again, Libra didn't respond to that.

"So what, are we back to the silent treatment?" Capricorn wondered out loud. "And here I was going to give you some cookies for finally answering." We both smirked when we heard Libra gasp.

"Well then, I guess it's time to leave then. We obviously aren't wanted here." I played along with her ploy. Seconds later, Libra stood in front of the door, trying to peek over our shoulders.

"You'll get your cookies if you let us come inside." Libra thought about it for a moment before stepping aside and letting us in. As I was the last one to enter, I closed the door behind us.

Libra sat on his bed, staring at us somewhat excited. I felt bad, knowing we actually didn't have any cookies. I shifted my attention to his room, realising I hadn't been here before. My gaze focused on the wall behind him and noticed a flag hanging.

"Why do you have the old Netherlands flag hanging in your room?" I asked pointing at the weirdly orange, white and blue coloured flag. Libra blinked confused and followed my gaze to the flag behind him.

He blushed, playing with his hair."I like the colours it had."

"That's cool." Capricorn replied absently as she looked around in her handbag. "Aha!" She smiled and pulled out a package of cookies from the bag.

"How did it fit in there?" I asked her while Libra was trying to snatch the package out of her hands.

Capricorn shrugged, saying it was magic. After that she pulled the package back and out of reach of Libra, who pouted at the action.
"You will get one if you answer our questions."

The pink haired glanced at the cookies and then us, sighting as he decided. "What do you want?"

"Are you mad at us?" She asks, offering him a cookie. Libra took a bite, chewing slowly.

"I don't know?" He swallowed. "You guys didn't buy me a souvenir and that was the only thing I ever asked you to do in exchange for taking care of the others."

Capricorn groaned. "I said I was sorry, I was busy with something else. Or rather someone."

"And you think I wasn't?" Libra said swallowing hard. "You think I wanted to be responsible over them?"

I handed him another cookie, which he gratefully started to chew on emotionally.

"Everyday was so loud, too loud and everything got worse when they brought the dog home." He paused to take a new bite. "Do you know how many times I had to broke up Gemini and Pisces fights? Or stop Leo from picking on Cancer with Sunny?"
