Zodiac One-Shots (Requests closed)

Taurus (F) + Pisces (M) Space

Requested by @Lozzab03. Hope this is okay. Sorry it took so long. 

Taurus's POV:

I slowly blink my eyes open. I can see the floor next to the bed as the soft morning sun rays brush against it. It has to be a Saturday. Although the sleep drunkness is still tight with its grasp around me I know it must be the weekend. Saturday's and Sunday's are those very blessed days where you get to wake up by your own will rather than the screeching cries of your morning alarm. Just as I'm starting to comprehend my surroundings I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I don't even have to look to know who it is.

"Morning," I hear Pisces mumble from over my shoulder. I turn in his arms so that I can face him. His eyes are still closed and I laugh at the adorable sight I see before me. It's not long before I find myself falling back to sleep.

I wake up again, this time to the aroma of bacon in the air and the presence of emptiness behind me. Pisces must be cooking breakfast. I lie in bed for a few minute until the urge for food takes over and I stand. I make my way to the kitchen to see him setting the table. What a weirdo I think smiling to myself as I watch him dancing around the kitchen with plates in his hands. He does a little spin before he sets it down on the table and I can't help but let out a small giggle. He looks up at me in surprise and then gives me a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Well, good afternoon," he says smirking and I look at the clock. It's almost 2:00. Now I'm the embarrassed one.

"Come on let's eat," he says gesturing me to sit next to him. Still pouting from his teasing I take the seat across from him. I sit down and start eating. I can feel his eyes on me and ignore him.

"Did I upset someone?" He asks and I don't even have to look to see the smug smile on his face.

"Thanks for making breakfast," I say with out looking up as I ignore his question.

"I think I deserve more than a simple thank you," he says standing up with his plate and walking around the table to sit next to me.

"Don't give yourself too much credit," I say moving away from him in my chair. I hear him laugh behind me as I look away.

"Maybe I should apologize for making fun of you sleeping in, but what on earth could I possibly do to make it up to you," he says teasingly as he pulls my hair back revealing my neck. I feel myself blush rise on my cheek as I continuing to look away. Being sure to keep a straight face. We end up giggling and teasing our way through the rest of our breakfast.

After getting a text from my friend to meet up I quickly get in the shower and change. Just as I'm tying the last of my hair back in a ponytail Pisces comes up and embraces me from behind.

"Where are you off too?" He whispers into my neck.

"I'm going out with some friends," I say moving away from him to put my jacket on.

"Where are you going?"

"We're going out to eat, then maybe the shops," I say taking one last look in the mirror before saying goodbye and leaving.

Lunch was great. I caught up with the girls and we exchanged the latest gossip. We're heading to the shops now. I can't wait to check out the sale at Big-W. Okay, I know, Big-W, but they do have good clothes.

"Hey, Taurus! How's your relatiooonshiiip?" Capricorn teases as we browse the aisles of skinny jeans and sleeveless shirts. I glare at her as she rolls her eyes. I'm about to tease her back when I hear a beep from my phone.

"Oh, I bet that's him now," she says running away before I can tell her off. Sure enough, it is from Pisces.

Text: Hey, you've been gone awhile. When do you think you'll be home?

I sigh out loud to myself. He should probably get a hobby. I mean I love that he cares for me, but I would still like to have a bit of a social life. With this in mind, I put my phone back in my pocket and ignore him.

The rest of the day was great. I bought a top and did manage to get back at Capricorn. She accidentally dropped her phone in the toilet so making fun of her was easy. I'm about to head home then I remember, Pisces. I never did text him back. I love him, I really do, but I also need my space. This is an impossible situation. If I straight out tell him I need space he'll think I don't like him, but if I don't tell him I have to say goodbye to a social life, goodbye to freedom, and goodbye to independence.

Pisces POV:

I tried texting Taurus but she hasn't replied. I ended up going to my friend shouse to pass the time. I'm starting to get worried. Maybe I should call her. Or go to the shops to see if she's okay. What if something happened. I wonder when she'll be home. My thoughts get interrupted by the sound of snickering coming from behind me. I turn to see Gemini trying not to laugh.

"What?" I ask confused and he erupts in an outpour of laughter.

"What's so funny?" I ask and e tries to explain in between snorts.

"Haha, sorry. It's just, well, you look like you're contemplating the end of the world or something," he says laughing.

"I'm not. I'm just worried about-"

"Taurus, I know, I know," he cuts me off as he eyes roll so far to the back of his head that they almost disappear.

"What's that attitude for?" I ask and he sits up to face me, indicating that he is about to say something serious.

"Look, I know that you guys like each other a lot, but you need to give her a bit of space," he says and I pull a face at him.

"What do you mean to give her space?" I ask in astonishment.

"She wants to go out and be with her friends so let her be with her friends." I think this is the first time I've heard Gemini say something that kind of makes sense. I guess I am being clingy. With this in mind, I enjoy my time with Gemini before making my way home. 

Taurus didn't reply to my text. I guess it makes sense that she was ignoring me. I walk up to the path that leads to the door of our house and see Taurus is there rummaging through her bag for keys. I walk up behind her and unlock the door with my own keys. The click of the lock surprises her and she quickly looks up from her bag.

"Oh, Pisces, I'm sorry I didn't reply to your text. I was about to but then I got distracted and forgot," she says quickly and I give her a soft smile.

"It's okay, I know you were ignoring me and I know it was because I didn't give you any space. You were with your friends. I should have just let you enjoy that." She's silent as I speak. I only just managed to buff up enough courage to say that. I'm not sure what to fill the awkward silence with.

"I'm sorry," she whispers and I can hear the guilt in her voice.

"You don't have to be sorry," I say as I lift her chin up to face me. I slowly press my lips to hers as the lights along the secluded streets start to turn on for the night. We slowly part lips, still keeping close together.

"Should we go inside?" I ask and she smiles a bit before nodding and opening the door.
