Taurus organizes her desk and begins to pack up her things. It was a very tiring day and she still has exams tomorrow.
The sound of a door opening and closing didn't surprise her until someone had said, "Hey."
She jumped in her seat and looked up. She felt relieved to see a familiar face - those pretty eyes looking down at her. "Oh, it's just you Scorpio!"
"Mom's coming home late tonight. Wanna come over?" Scorpio said as he slowly approached Taurus.
Taurus blinked for a moment and became confused. "Um, don't we have a long exam first thing tomorrow morning?"
Scorpio scoffed. "So? That means you can just study at my place."
"Does it really have to be me?"
"Yeah. Got any problem with that?"
"Scorpio.. don't tell me.. You're scared of being alone, aren't you?"
Taurus could see Scorpio's ears turn red. So that means it's true.
"Sh-shut up! No way. Me? Scared of a little solitude? Nuh-uh."
Taurus smirked. "If you weren't, you wouldn't need to invite me over at your place."
Scorpio managed to keep his cool and stepped in even closer to Taurus. "Oh yeah? What if I told you I needed a companion in my room?"
Taurus looked up at Scorpio, blinking several times. "What do you mean?"
"You, me, in my room. A boy and a girl. All alone. You know what happens next."
Taurus gulped. "Surely, you mean studying for the long exam tomorrow."
"Of fucking course. So come on, what do you say?"
"Wait.. so you needed a study partner?"
"Why else would I approach you and invite you to my house?" Scorpio asked, adjusting his glasses.
"Because you needed someone to accompany you so you wouldn't be scared. I know you, Scorpio. You wouldn't want your Mom leaving for work ever since we were kids. You're such a scaredy cat." Taurus teased.
"Okay.. Yes. I hate being alone in that goddamn house. So is that a yes? Will you come over? I can stay silent if you want, so I wouldn't disturb you while you study." Scorpio admitted while scratching the back of his neck.
Taurus smiled. "Alright! But you're my study partner, it's best if we discuss the notes together."
Scorpio gave out a sigh of relief and ruffled Taurus' hair.
