The Zodiac Kingdom

Chapter 12 - Missing

Sagittarius POV

It was late at night, and we were all tired after a long day of training. Our room only consisted of two beds, and there were three of us in the room, but we were all too lazy to change rooms. I reflected on what Taurus had said about Leo and kinda realized that it was true - he did take up a lot of space. Leo and I had already decided that we were going to have a bed each. I looked over at his bed only to find that his bedspread was already wrinkled, and his pillows scattered randomly on the messy bed. Leo was a messy napper. It was getting lonely in the room all by myself, so I decided to go find someone to talk to. Gemini was downstairs at the convenience store, snacking on... well, everything. Leo, however, had disappeared suddenly without a word about where he was going.

I wandered down the empty halls and out the door. My tired eyes darted towards the direction of the convenience store. I shuffled my tired feet against the concrete pavement.

"We're closed. Please get out now, this is your last warning." A tall, brawny guard ordered, trying to haul Gemini out. 

"B-but..." Gemini complained, but the guard had already tugged at his hoodie, and dropped him to the ground. The small bag of chips Gemini was holding fell to the ground.

"Gemini!" I ran towards him, forgetting about how tired my feet were. "Gemini! Are you alright?"

"Ya, I guess," Gemini answered, as I helped him up. He brushed the dust off his pants and reached for the chips. "Nuu! My chips are all broken!

"Where the heck did you get money to buy these? And aren't you full? How much food are you buying?" I asked in disbelief. How could someone possibly eat that much food?

"Oh... Leo lent me some money, since I barely ate anything for lunch. My stomach started hurting, and I thought that food would help. I didn't want to use anymore of Taurus' and Cancer's money, so I..." He admitted. "Besides, I have to give Leo the money I didn't spend."

"Speaking of Leo... do you know where he is?" I asked. 

"Actually, now that you have mentioned him, I didn't se-" started Gemini

"Does somebody need me?" Leo asked, appearing from behind. Both Gemini and I were startled.

"Leo! What the f-" I yelled.

"-Wait, does that mean that Leo was spying on me?" Gemini whispered to me.

"I guess..." I whispered back. "Ugh, it's too late for this... I'm going inside."

"Let's go, Leo!" Gemini said cheerfully, trying to forget about what happened. We headed inside, and I rubbed my tired eyes as we walked into the room.

"Wait, there's only two beds?" Gemini asked.

"Yep, and we already called dibs." Leo added, and Gemini sulked.

"Where am I going to sleep? On the floor?" he asked sarcastically. "W-wait... am I?"

"No you're not. You can share a bed with me." I crossed my arms. "Leo, you can have your own space, since you like to take up so much of it. Besides, you didn't make your bed from earlier."

"Leo's lucky!" Gemini sighed.

"Wait... no actually, I kinda want to share a bed with Gemini." Leo blurted out before covering his mouth. It looked like he accidentally let that slip. I grinned to myself. My ship was sailing...

"I mean, Sagittarius is quite big... and I didn't want Gemini to get squashed," Leo added in. How lame, and OBVIOUS.

"What? But Leo, you are quite big too, and Sag wouldn't squish me!" Gemini insisted, and Leo started stuttering.
