Zodiacs' Academy

Scorpio's POV

I've been watching Virgo sleep for an hour now. I drop my head into my hands. How could I let her do this? She means the world to me, and I let my anger and stupidity get in the way. Goddammit.

I get up and go to the kitchen. I should do something for her.

I make quesadillas. Simple, but she loves them. I go back to the living room and see her sitting up.

"Hi." I say nervously.

"Hi." She says.

I sit by her and hold her hand. "Listen, I know I must have triggered this. I'm so sorry, and I want you to know I never meant to hurt you. I understand if you never forgive me. Gosh, I'm so stupid. I realize how much I screwed up now. You're so important to me, Vi. And you know that, you should... Because I can't live without you," I feel tears coming up and I bite my lip. "So, please, don't die. Please stay alive, because if you're gone, I can't be here either."

She gives me a shaky smile and squeezes my hand. "It wasn't because of you." Is all she says.

I decide to not question. "Just don't hurt yourself..." Silence. "The quesadillas are getting cold." I say. This time she gives me a real smile and her eyes light up.

I help her up. "I can walk, genius. I'm not disabled or sick."

I don't argue and let her hand go.  I trail behind to the kitchen. She sits and eats.

"Thank you."

Pisces POV

I finish teaching my fifth period class. Finally, now I can go eat lunch. I go to the teachers' lounge.

"Pizza?" Capricorn says as I walk in. He stuffs his mouth with a bite. I scrunch my nose up as he chews while talking, but really, he's adorable all the time.

I go over to him and put two slices of pizza in my plate. I bend down and kiss him. He kisses back and I don't want to pull away. "Good afternoon, lovebirds." Cancer says, annoyed.

I smile and sit in Cap's lap. "Jealous, much?" I ask sarcastically, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"The boys don't notice how hot I am," Cancer flips her hair.

"Someone does..." Cap mutters.

"What?" Cancer and I ask in unison.

"Taurus. He likes you."

"No he doesn't. Plus it doesn't matter anyways. I don't want to know unless he tells me himself. I'm not a high schooler, desperate."

"Well, I don't think I was desperate with Cap, and he's someone I sincerely see myself with forever."

"Really?" He asks. I nod. "Aww," he coos, and kisses me again.

Cancer makes a gagging sound. I pull away and laugh.

"Anyways, you won't be desperate. Ask him out! Trust me, he'll say yes." Cap says.

"I'll think about.." she says uneasily.

I look at him and smile. "Your lunch is almost over and you haven't eaten yet." He nods his head at the pizza.

I shrug. "Are you done eating?"

He nods. "Then let's go to your office. We have 20 mins." I wink.

"Wh- Ohh, okay.." he scoops me up and runs to his office.

I hear Cancer sigh in disgust and laugh as we race down the hallway.
