I prepare some snacks and a stack of movies to choose from.

Before I know it, Aquarius is here.

"Hey," he says.

"Hey,"

"Ooh, nice snacks. Let's see if you got everything.. candy, popcorn, ice cream, vegetables, chips... Veggies?"

"Ya know for the pregnant chick,"

He laughs. "Um, I don't think they're gonna want vegetables," I, shrug. He continues, "beer, punch, lemonade, juice. I don't think you're missing anything. Nice,"

I shake my head. "I didn't need your approval,"

He shrugs. "You're right. You screw up a lot, but you're good with movie nights."

"Damn, okay! Well, how are you and Sag going?"

"We're well, what do you mean?"

"I mean the relationship,"

"It's a friendship,"

"Remember the last movie night we had, two years ago? Yeah, Pisces and Cap said the same, but look at them now. All married and shit,"

"Nah, that's not us,"

I shrug. "Whatever you say,"

Once everybody is here, I ask, "What movie do you guys wanna watch?"

Everyone starts arguing over which movie to watch, but I can't stop looking at Gemini, who's staring at the the corner, clearly conflicted.
