Starcrossed

Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend

~ Cancer

'It's back to school time!' someone whispered in my ear, I startled and fell from the bed. 'Ow...' I groaned, looking over the edge of the bed, seeing a blurry Scorpio doubled over. 'Scorpio! I was asleep' I whined, climbing back onto the bed. 'I was, too'
'Ugh, did you have to wake me up by reminding me of school tomorrow?!' he chuckled and stroked my hair. 'Yes' he fake-pouted. I rolled my eyes and shoved him, but of course he didn't budge. 'You needed to get up anyway, we're meeting with the others for our last day of freedom' he comforted me while he pulled a hand through his hair. I sighed.

Damn, I really need my glasses, but will he laugh at me? 'Scorpio?' 'Yeah?' 'I-uh, have to tell you- or actually, show you something...' I vaguely stammered while searching for the pouch my glasses were in. 'But promise me you won't laugh'
'Fine, I promise' he grunted. I sighed deeply once again, quickly pulling my glasses from their pouch and put them on. I bit my lip trying not to blush when I noticed he was shirtless. Don't stare, please don't stare... Dammit... My eyes flew to his bare chest and back to his face, with messy hair and dark brown eyes sparkling. Fire erupted within me, coursing through every inch of my body, so my face flushed a bright red. He blushed as well while he closed his gaping mouth. He obviously saw me gawking at his bare upper-body. But can he really blame me? How dare he sleep next to me without a shirt, while looking so devilishly good?

'Y-you have glasses? Since when? And why didn't you tell me?' I avoided eye-contact while responding 'I'm just kind of ashamed... they make me look stupid!' I groaned in frustration. 'Are you- okay with them?' I hesitantly asked. 'Oh, babe, why would you be ashamed of your glasses? They don't make you look stupid at all, ah... it, kind of, makes you look... cute and smart' he quickly added the last part, rubbing the back of his neck. 'Aw, thanks' I blushed and pecked him on the cheek 'But can we pleeeeeease just stay in bed for five more minutes?' I pleaded, with the cutest smile I could. He rolled his eyes and crawled back into bed, draping the blanket over us. 'Only because I simply can't resist when you look at me like that' he breathed, I smirked. 'What do you mean, like that?' I innocently asked him, my face just inches from his, letting my eyes trail from his eyes down to his chest and up again, while biting my lip a little bit. My hands moving from his neck, up the side of his face, through his hair, on his back. I felt him shiver, he closed his eyes and shivered some more. I slyly smirked while adjusting my glasses, suddenly not feeling so flirty anymore after I thought about them. Scorpio noticed right away. 'Hey, what did I just tell you? I love those glasses on you, you look hot, I promise' he took my chin to make me face him, with a sincere look in his eyes, he carefully looked at my face, biting his lip a little bit.

'I get a headache when I put my contacts in for too long, and considering I had them in all day yesterday, I'll have to wear them until we leave' I sighed, Scorpio smirked. 'Good' he breathed when he left to the bathroom to take a shower. I was lying on my bed, thinking about everything and nothing, when something hit me. I still want to learn Spanish. What's that song I learned again? I looked it up on YouTube, and easily sang along after listening once.

#It's called Volaré by Russian Red, go listen it now it's amazing#

'Correré, volaré, con el viento cabalgare. Volaré, con el viento cabalgare...' I sang out loud, closing my eyes as the Spanish words rolled of my tongue smoothly, until I heard my floor creak.

I shot up to see Scorpio in the door frame, leaning. I could've slapped myself. 'Oh my gosh, how long have you been-' '-You sing well' he interrupted me, throwing me a lopsided smile. 'Now I finally know' he seemed content, I rolled my eyes. 'You weren't supposed to hear that' I mumbled, while hopping into the bathroom.

I rang the doorbell at Taurus' house while impatiently waiting for her to finally open. 'Hi, are you set?' I greeted her when she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She blushed as she stepped out the door, wearing... 'A dress?' I questioned, checking her out from head to toe. 'I have to admit, they look and feel nice' she looked at her feet, I made her look up. 'You look pretty, don't be shy' I smiled, but then I realized how close we were and awkwardly took a step backward. Why can I still feel the tension when we're just friends?

She sighed deeply and looked me straight in the eye. 'Can I ask you something? And I want you to answer honestly' she shuffled with her feet. 'Sure' I shrugged. I looked at her curly brown hair, so urged to push it out of her face. Did I make the right decision? Do I still like her? Calm down, be cool. 'Do you really not have feelings for me?' I felt a pang in my chest as I saw the sad look on her face. I stepped closer and pushed her hair out of her face, my heart pounding against my chest, my eyes gawking at her in that dress, lingering at her waist, going up to her neck. 'I think I was too quick to judge' I chuckled, she looked up in awe, her eyes now sparkling with disbelief. 'Are you sure?' she breathed, I nodded as she laughed, the light-hearted kind, that made her dimples show, too.

She turned towards me, pulling on the ends of my hair, I rubbed my hand on her bare back as we shared a breathtaking kiss. Hot passion flowed through me as our lips moved in synch with each other.
When I pulled back oh-so slowly, gently taking her bottom lip between my teeth and letting go, she gasped. 'Dammit!' we heard someone behind us, I snapped my head I the direction of the noise, the whole group was standing there. The guys had grins on their faces, the girls were gasping or also smirking. Only Aqua had a frown on his face. 'Turns out I'm not that much of a relationship-expert, huh?' he said, and they burst out laughing. I stuck my tongue out at them, as I pulled Taurus in for another kiss.
