Date me! Leo X Gemini

For @InevitableMuppet

Today is the day... Thought Leo, today is the day I ask Gemini out for a date! Taking a deep breath, he opened his front door only to get a surprise.

"Yo"

"Gah!" He jumped back, clutching his chest. "A-aries... What are you doing here?" He asked.

Aries shrugged, "I don't know... Is it wrong that I want to see one of my best buddies?"

Something was up. "Really, Aries. What's going on?"

Aries sighed in defeat and walked in. "Alright! I need your help... " she said.

Leo raised a brow, "Help? Help for what?"

"Libra... " The red haired girl looked down with a blush. "I wanted to ask him on a date but I don't know how to ask him.. I would've asked Aquarius for advice since she's one of his closest friends but man... That girl is too weird when it comes to romance"

That's because she barely knows how true romance goes. "So you came here to ask advice?"

"Of course I did, you knuckle head!" snapped the ram, "You're his closest male friend, so why not?"

Leo thought for a moment, then an idea popped up. "Alright then," he said, then raised a finger, "But, for one condition.."

"One condition?" she groaned, "What?"

"I'll help you ask out Libra, if you help me ask out Gemini" He held out a hand for a hand shake, "Is it a deal?"

"...Is that it?"

"Yes"

"You just want Gemini?"

"Yes"

"Is this a trick?"

"No"

"Then it's a deal" Aries took Leo's hand then shook it.

At the park, the Air signs were taking a stroll. Libra was talking to Gemini while the twin sign had to tap on the Water barer a couple of times for her to listen. As they continued to walk, they heard someone call.

"Libra!" It was Aries. She ran up to the Air signs and stopped to catch her breath.

"Aries? What is it?" asked Libra.

"C-can I talk to you..a-alone?"

"Alright"

Gemini and Aquarius exchanged glances, shrugged and walked away to leave the other two alone.

"What do you think Aries wanted to talk about?" Asked Gemini.

The blunette shrugged. "I honestly have no idea.." she said.

Soon, Leo walks by the two female Air signs. "Hey, Gem!" he greeted.

Gemini flinched, "Oh! Leo! Hi, how's it going?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine.." He chuckled a bit then blushed. "I-I.... I was just wondering if you maybe... Want to... Go on a date with me?"

"Oh...?" The air grew tense. Not because of Gemini's slightly surprised reaction, but because of Aquarius's emotionless expression. Even though Aquarius didn't seem to have a reaction, Leo felt something off about her.

Gemini looked away, with a slight hint of regret in her eyes. "I'm sorry Leo..." she said, "But not now, maybe another time?"

Leo felt his heat sink, he couldn't believe that he was rejected. "Y-yeah.. Okay.."
