Theft of the Zodiacs (A Zodiac Story)

Under the mistletoe

It's Christmas Eve and after her morning kiss with Sagittarius, Gemini decided to create a little bit of drama. All in good fun, obviously.

The house was decorated and the credits went to Cancer, Aquarius, Libra, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, and Aries. 

The entire house looked amazing, and all Christmassy, decorated in colours typical to the holiday: red, green, and white. All the signs had been dressed up, and they were walking around in clothes of the said colours.

They were all ready for lunch at Carmen's. 

Cancer was in a dark green dress, one that further defined her black hair and brown eyes. Libra and Pisces were both in similar white dresses, ones that hugged them tightly and accentuated their curves. Gemini was wearing a green dress, lighter in shade as compared to the one worn by Cancer. 

Virgo and Aquarius were both wearing blood-red dresses. Virgo's dress hugged her tightly at the top like a corset before flaring at the bottom. Aquarius's however, hugged her all the way down, a satin red rose at the area below her collarbone to the right.

The men had all dressed well. Sagittarius and Scorpio were both wearing black sweaters and white pants. Taurus, much to Cancer's liking, was wearing a light brown, full-sleeved sweater accompanied by black pants. 

Aries and Capricorn were both dressed in white sweaters and black pants, and Leo was wearing a cream, half-sleeved sweater along with beige-colored fitted pants.

Ophiuchus looked dashing in a white sweater, and dark brown pants.

All the signs wore coats to go. It snowed lightly outside, flakes falling onto their heads.

Taurus watched as flakes fell onto Cancer's pitch-black short hair, and he called out to her, stopping her in her tracks.

She turned around, confused, "You've got a little something in your hair."

"Oh?" Cancer looked slightly embarrassed as Taurus lightly ruffled her hair and the snow fell to the floor.

Pisces's cheeks and the tip of her nose had turned pink against her hugely distinctive pale skin. Aries thought she looked cuter than she usually did, and he didn't even know that was possible. 

The drive to Carmen's place was quick, and they were the only ones invited. Carmen opened the door after an ephemeral wait, instantly welcoming them inside.

The signs removed their coats and hung them on the rack. 

They moved to corners of the house, taking in the house, and talking with their friends.

Scorpio took in the sight of Carmen's house, now fully decorated. In the living room, stood a tall pine tree, decorated fully. His gaze fell onto Aquarius, who was looking at the tree, a soft smile on her face.

"Pretty, isn't it?" She mumbled, eyes still on the tree.

Scorpio looked at her, at the smile on her face, "Absolutely." He breathed.

Gemini was roaming around the house when she suddenly spotted a mistletoe placed elegantly on a perch. She smirked. Looked around. And spotted them.

She walked over to the mistletoe, gently took it in her fingers and walked over to the two signs who were now talking. She held it over their heads just as they turned to look at her.

"Kiss." Gemini smirked.

"What?" Aquarius said, and then looked up at the mistletoe hanging above her head. It was hanging right in front of Scorpio's face, "No, Gem." She shook her head.
