Zodiac Short Stories

Sagittarius (f) X Aquarius (m) Mistletoe

Sagittarius was bored. For her, boredom was torture. All of the other Zodiac signs were busy and it was snowing too hard to do anything outside. And finding something to do by herself was out of the question. So instead, she laid sprawled across the couch hoping someone would take her out of her misery. It wasn't long until her prayers were answered.

"Looks like you're having fun there," Aquarius grinned as he walked into the room. Sagittarius rolled her eyes.

"You're obviously blind. I'm dying right now," she retorted. To prove her point, she rolled off the couch with a thud. Her long brown hair was tied in a ponytail and fell in her face. However, the distraught girl didn't even bother to move it.

"Ever hear of sarcasm?" Aquarius laughed. "As much fun as I'm having watching you suffer from boredom, I have something better in mind." As soon as the words left the Water Bearer's mouth, Sagittarius shot up off of the ground.

"What?" she asked eagerly. She caught a glimpse of mischief flicker in Aquarius's icy blue eyes. It somewhat scared her, but it also made her feel energized. Plus, anything would be better than wallowing on the couch in despair.

"We're going to prank the others-" Aquarius pulled out a decorative looking plant from behind his back, "-using this!" Sagittarius's eyes lit up with an evil glint.

"You're a genius! We'll use mistletoe to prank them!" she laughed wickedly.

"And the best part is that we'll capture each embarrassing moment with a picture!" Aquarius exclaimed.

"This is perfect!" the Archer cheered. "These will make perfect holiday presents to everyone!"

"Let's go to my room. I have more in there," he ushered. "We can plan everything out there."

"Race you!" Sagittarius shouted as she bolted past Aquarius.

"Hey, no fair!" he yelled as he sprinted after the Centaur. Little did the two Zodiacs know, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"I think it's about time to give the two prankers a taste of their own medicine..."

"-and we'll hang these all over the house. Just remember not to stand under one when you're with another person," Aquarius reminded. He handed his partner ten mistletoe and kept ten for himself.

"Yeah I know. I'm not stupid," the girl snorted.

"I'm not so sure about that, but as long as you don't mess up it doesn't matter," he teased. He stood up and turned to leave the room.

"Oh come on! I'm smarter than you," she argued.

The Water Bearer laughed. Not bothering to turn around, he said, "Weren't you calling me a genius a few moments ago?"

"You're such an asshole," Sagittarius whined playfully as she followed after him.

"I know." Even though his back was towards her, she knew he had a cocky smirk plastered across his stupid face. She gave him a shove which caught him off guard. He stumbled and turned around to face Sagittarius.

"Then stop smiling, asshole. It's not something to be proud of," she pestered.

"Sorry. How could I forget my manners?" Aquarius chuckled. "I'll let you pick where you want to hang your mistletoe."

"You're still an asshole, but I'll still take up your offer. I've got the first floor covered. You can take this floor."

"Got it. We meet back at my room in ten minutes!"
