An Astrological Mess; zodiac short stories

2 | The Ten Rules

  "AHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS LIT!" Leo cheered as he ran up and down the stairs of the house, his wavy hair flying around as he slid on the railing.

   "It's just a house." Taurus muttered without looking up from her phone, her eyes fixated on the screen while she rapidly tapped her thumbs.

Leo just shrugged, slipping down the railing to the bottom floor and landing on his feet. It was one of those two sided stairs that did a little curve, so it was indeed impressive.

   "You're not gonna be running around and making a mess." Scorpio sat at the bottom of the stairs, pouting her lips as she watched Leo continued to admire the interior of the house.

Leo stopped in his tracks and grinned. "Oh yes the hell I am, scorpion." He gave her some sPicY finger guns and leaned against one of the walls.

"Okay listen up, t h o t s." The three looked up to see Aquarius standing up at the top of the stairs, looking all high and mighty with her hands placed on her hips.

"Thicc." Taurus deadpanned, automatically taking a picture before continuing to type on her phone.

If there was a chance you could catch her off some sort of device, you would be considered a god.

   "We need to start setting some ground rules, since I'm not letting shit hit the fan." Aquarius stated calmly.

   "Why rules?" Scorpio turned around on the stairs and cocked her head.

   "Rules don't chain me down." Leo grinned proudly, causing Aquarius to mentally die a little inside.

    "WE NEED RULES, because you guys are fucking idiots, okay?" She snapped sharply, though the others just staaaaaaared-

Besides Taurus who was still looking at her phone.

   "Fine. Whatever." Scorpio growled lowly, rolling her eyes before she crossed her arms.

Leo didn't look too thrilled either, and Taurus just didn't seem to care.

"Okay, there's ten rules, with the first being-"

"TEN???" Leo blurted out immediately.

"That's stupid. You're stupid. Why are you being stupid?" Taurus mumbled without looking up from her phone.

"That's too manyyyyy!" Scorpio sighed as she slumped down on the stairs.

"SHOOOOOOSH BEFORE I THROW YOU ALL INTO THE FIREPLACE."

The three signs shut up immediately, letting Aquarius continue with her rules.

"Okay FIRST rule, is that we can't be on our phones past 10pm."

Taurus narrowed her eyes at her phone screen and shook her head. "I'm not doing that. That's dumb." She stated nonchalantly.

    "And why do you think that I came up with that rule?" Aquarius motioned to the phone that Taurus would nOt look up from, but the bull didn't seem to get the hint.

    "I don't know. I'm going to Virgo's place."

"Taurus!" Aquarius's mouth dropped open and she groaned out loud, just as the female went out the door without hesitation.

Leo let out a roar of laughter, then immediately started coughing as Aquarius hurled a shard of ice near him and stuck it in the wall. Yeee she could be scary sometimes.

    "Can we get this over with?" Scorpio asked impatiently, though she chuckled when she saw how startled Leo was.

Aquarius just slapped her forehead. "Well I'm trying to, but—"

    "I'm hungry as hell." Leo interrupted, looking around. "Do we have food?"

"We just got here. Of course not." Scorpio shook her head and the lion boi groOooANED.

Aquarius wanted to smack them both upside the head, and yet she still kept herself composed and silent.

"Listen you two, I have to finish expla—" Before the gal could even finish speaking, the door to their house opened and Taurus peeked her head inside once again.

"They're playing Uno at Virgo's house, wanna come?" She asked, her eyes pulling downward to stare at her phone.

Scorpio and Leo immediately perked up, nodding quickly as they stood. Aquarius was the only one that shook her head, glaring at the three in disbelief.

"No! Guys!" She cried out in frustration.

"See ya Aqua!" Leo just gave a wave before bottling out the door after Taurus, Scorpio following right behind and slamming the door shut.

Aquarius was just left alone in the house, the quietness being both soothing, and irritating. She went down the steps and headed into the kitchen, searching around for a pen and paper.

"I would've killed these guys ages ago if I could.." she grumbled, grabbing a hold of a pencil and nearly snapping it in half.

She took a crumpled piece of paper and began writing down the ten rules-

1. No damn sex (that means you Leo)
2. Don't make noise at night or I'll come for you
3. Everyone buys their own damn food.
4. PAY THE BILL
5. Knock before walking into someone's room
6. No damn dairy (this applies to yOu tAuRus)
7. Don't bring strangers here
8. Pick up after your mess, you pigs-
9. No fighting
10. Don't get on my nerves :))))

Satisfied, Aquarius stuck the paper onto the fridge with a little letter magnet and she sighed, skipping away towards her room.

All she could think was how troublesome this setup will be.

Uh oh, spaghettios.
