"Okay... sure."

Virgo stares at Libra, waiting for her to say something.

"Li?"

She breaks out of her thoughts at that, and Virgo laughs. His voice travels through the apartment.

Libra's face reddens as she realizes she was staring into space. "Sorry, Vir." She apologizes.

Grinning, Virgo moves closer to Libra. "It's fine. Can I have a kiss to make up for it?"

Libra shoves him away, and Virgo doubles over laughing. "I was kidding, Libra. Chill."

She shakes her head and picks up her phone.

Leo: You up to chill?
Libra: I'm with Virgo.
Leo: You've been hanging out with him a LOT lately. Something up?
Libra: Nothing, really. Just friends.
Leo: Yeah, okay, sure.
Libra: Seriously?
Leo: What?
Libra: Do you want to come over?
Leo: I'm on my way.

Sighing, Libra puts her phone down on the table in front of her. "Leo bothering you again?" Virgo asks.

Libra gives him a look. "Mind reader." She accuses.

Smirking, Virgo gives her a half-hearted shrug. "It's not on purpose," he says.

"Well, Leo's coming over. She'll be here in half an hour or so." Libra looks down.

Virgo thinks for a moment. "You don't have to let her boss you around, you know. I get that you're best friends but... she treats you kinda bad," he purses his lips.

Libra looks at Virgo, frowning. "No, she doesn't. You're making her sound like a bad friend."

Virgo sighs. "Maybe she is..." He trails off.

Libra frowns. "Why don't you leave, Virgo? I don't really like it when people insult my friends."

Virgo's speechless. "That's not-"He tries. Libra doesn't let him finish.

"How about you stop?" She shakes her head. Silently, Virgo stands up and leaves.

Outside, he is met with a busy Leo. "Oh hey, Virgo!" She chirps.

He gives her a dirty look. "Do you always have to be so rude?"

Genuinely surprised, Leo's taken aback by Virgo's sudden anger.

"Did something happen inside?" She asks Virgo nervously. "I can come back," she tries.

Virgo shakes his head. "Whatever Libra and I had, it's over, thanks to you." He grits his teeth.

Leo looks down. "Libra said that nothing is going on between you, so I thought it was okay to come over..."

Virgo's glare is ice cold. "Well, you were wrong."

With that, he storms off, leaving Leo wondering what to do.

Leo knocks on Libra's door, and she answers teary-eyed.

"Leo, come in," she says softly. Quietly, they sit down in her living room.

"I know I caused some trouble between you and Virgo..." Leo starts. Libra looks up, sniffling.

"It doesn't matter." She bites her lip. She's trying not to cry.

"You obviously like him, Li." Leo puts in. Libra shrugs.

"So? You were right, okay? I do. I really do. I can't do anything about it anymore though."

But I can... Leo thinks.
