To Rule the World | A Zodiac Story

A Realize-gay-tion

Actress: Asima Sefic

Pisces sat in Gemini's bakery, nervously drumming his fingers. He glanced at Gemini, who sat there awkwardly and stared at him with worry. He glanced at the door, where Aquarius and Jaden would soon walk through. The wooden table they sat at creaked as he shifted around.

Suddenly, the bell rang as Aquarius and Jaden burst through it. Jaden sat on top of Aquarius'  back, and Aquarius was panting as if he had been running. He gently set Jaden down and the two of them walked over to the table.

"What's up?" Aquarius asked through heavy breathing. He gently sat down and watched Pisces with worry. "What's so important?"

Pisces glanced at him friend, who had dark bags under his dark eyes. He glanced at Gemini who's face was covered in flour and concern. He looked at Jaden, who resembled Aries so much.

Aries.

Libra. Fucking Libra.

Then, he burst into tears. He made a sort of strangled sound and threw himself on Gemini. He buried his face in her fair and cried some more. Gemini hugged him and glanced at Aquarius with worry.

"Pisces, sweetie, what's wrong?" Gemini asked him. For a sixteen year old girl, she acted like a mother.

"Aries. Fucking Libra," Pisces sobbed out. "It's not fair. How could I have been so blind? I've wasted my time!"

"Step back a bit," Gemini said, ignoring the fact that he swore. "Aries is doing what with Libra? Having sex?"

Aquarius started to squirm around a bit. He was that one kid in school, that whenever someone mentioned the word sex he would put his fingers in his ears and start singing. It didn't help when some of his friends lost their virginity.

Pisces pulled away and looked at her funny. His face was a mixture of repulsed and confused. "No, I worded that weirdly. Aries is not having sex with my fiancée."

"Damn straight," Gemini muttered. "No boy of mine is going to lose his virginity without telling me before Pisces."

"Have you lost your virginity, Gem?" Pisces asked, making Jaden snicker.

"Jaden, go upstairs," Gemini commanded. "Pisces, shut the hell up."

"Dodging the question, but okay," Pisces sighed, regaining his composure. "I have a problem."

"So, If Aries And Libra aren't... Y'know, then what's up?" Aquarius asked.

"I have come to quite the horrible realization about myself," Pisces told them. "It's awful! It's so not like me! It's worse than you could possibly imagine! I thought I knew myself so well! This could possibly ruin my entire life!"

Gemini was having quite enough of this bullshit. "Spit it out."

"I'm bisexual," Pisces said.

Gemini let out a sigh of relief. "I thought you were gonna propose or something."

"Being bi isn't the horrible part. The horrible part is that I'm in love with your brother," Pisces cried in anguish.

"I will sue you for pedophilia and anything else I can think of if you even touch Jaden—"

"No. The other brother," Pisces reminded her.

Gemini squinted at him and suddenly started to laugh. "Why? Why Aries?"

"Gemini, let's try to be supportive and not laugh at your brother," Aquarius reminded her, taking her hand.

"Less fun but fine," Gemini moaned, rolling her eyes. "What made you come to this realization?"
