Ok so this chapter is more of a filler/side story rather then part of the actual story and I thought since I have all of the ships all set up why not let them have some action?
Ah, Valentine's Day, love is in the air, at least for the couples.... It was a sunny day yet a bit chilly in the bubble. The plaza was very crowded, people in line, mostly guys, to buy chocolates and flowers for their partner and of course Taurus was in the mix.
Well at least he wasn't the only one standing in line. Aries, Capricorn, Leo, Scorpio, and Ophichus were all with him, growing impatient by the minute.
"This line is taking God damn forever." Leo grumbled. Ophichus was calm and cool his arms were crossed as he patiently waited for the line to move. Aries had that 'I wish I could die right now face' and Capricorn was busy looking at his phone.
Scorpio wouldn't have even been here in the first place if it wasn't for Taurus he would have just gave Cancer a simple card and a kiss. The line inched slowly and dreadfully.
It was about an hour until they actually were able to get in the shop to view their possible options. "Ohhhh these are perfect!" Taurus grabbed a bouquet of hydrangeas and a bar of dark chocolate. Aries went classic and picked a bouquet of red roses.
Capricorn sneezed loudly as he picked orange tulips for Gemini, he thought they suited her funky personality, he sneezed again. "Allergies." He mumbled.
Scorpio went and chose a bouquet of expensive black dahlias, he pinched every penny in his pocket to buy these. Ophichus chose a bouquet with a variety of flowers daisies, tulips, roses, sunflowers, lillies, and beautiful orchids.
They all paid for the flowers and Taurus paid for his chocolate. Now they had just one more place to go get the gifts.
*Libra's apartment*
Libra couldn't believe she agreed to have the girls over but it was the only place that would fit all of them. Virgo and Aquarius were laughing at something in the kitchen and it smelled really good.
Gemini and Pisces were playing with each others hair and talking about the boys. Cancer and Libra were trying to talk to each other but it was just awkward.
"Watcha making?" Gemini said curiously. "Cookies and a small cake." Virgo answered. "Yum! Can't wait!" Gemini licked her lips, she had a serious sweet tooth.
"So how are things with you and Aries." Aqua asked out of the blue to Virgo. "Oh things are just fine." Aqua could tell that she was blushing. "How about you and Taurus?" Virgo asked.
Aqua thoughts drifted to him and she suddenly zoned out. "HEY!" Virgo snapped her fingers. "Yea! Things are GREAT!" Aqua smiled. BEEEP! The oven timer rang. "Cookies and cake are done!" Virgo grabbed her oven mitts and took the trays out.
It smelled great. "Here you can ice the cake." Virgo handed the piping bag to Aquarius. Aqua squeezed some icing on the top and took a spatula and spread it around until it covered the whole cake, she then topped it off by writing Happy Valentines Day!
"Done!" She wiped her hands on her jeans and took a lick of the frosting. Virgo arranged the cookies perfectly in the plate and placed it on the table along with the cake. "Now we just wait." Virgo said.
The boys were running around like headless chicken. Capricorn was still sneezing every now and then. Taurus came upon a gorgeous butterfly necklace it was embedded with small amethyst stones.
It was pretty expensive, but he knew it would make Aqua happy, so he bought it. Aries walked around and found two presents he had trouble choosing between. A stuffed bear that held a heart saying I love you or a charm bracelet. He couldn't decide so he bought both. "She better like these." Aries hoped.
Capricorn wondered what Gemini would like as a present. He found a bottle of sweet fruity perfume he found addicting to smell he could only imagine it being on her, he was drooling at his day dream.
He gave in to the fantasy and bought the perfume. "ACHOO!" He sneezed again and sniffled. Leo grumbled and muttered he had no clue what to get for his Pisces. He came to the clothes aisle and thought why not get her a dress. He smirked. So many choices.
"Ah ha!" He found the one.
He could imagine it on her he just prayed he got the right size.
Ophichus got his present almost the second he stepped into the shop but he was in a different shop then the rest of the guys he was at arms shop. He held a beautiful rifle, yes a rifle as in a gun!
He knew without a doubt she would love it.
The guys all met at the fountain and shared what hey got. "You got a rifle?" Leo asked Ophichus "damn right I got a rifle and she is gonna love it." He answered.
They all made their way to Libra's grand apartment.
The girls were getting a bit tired of waiting. "Guys I see them!" Gemini squealed in excitement and pointed out the window. "Looks like they have a lot of stuff." Pisces said, already feeling bad at the amount of money they may have spent.
They all say back in the couch, looking as innocent as possible.
"Is the elevator working this time?" Ophichus asked the bell boy. "Yes sir!" The small man replied. "Thank god!" Leo sighed. They pushed the button and went in the elevator.
The elevator steadily went up and the ding noise indicated they were at the top floor now. "Ready boys?" Leo said and popped a breath mint in his mouth. "Time to get some action." He ran his free hand through his hair in an attempt the fix it.
"Something smells good." Taurus sniffed. "Looks like we are getting a surprise as well." Scorpio brushed a lock of hair away from his forehead.
The door was unlocked, they knew they were on their way up. "SURPRISE!" The boys yelled as the entered. The girls did a fake squeal. "You knew we were coming up, didn't you?" Aries asked. The girls nodded innocently.
"Cookies?" Virgo asked extending the plate out. "Don't mind if I do." Taurus shoved one in his mouth and it instantly melted. "So good!" He said gulping it down.
"Ok let's take turns!" Gemini recommended. "Ok who's first then?" Pisces asked. For some reason everyone looked at Libra. "What are YOU staring at?" She said raising her voice.
"You and Ophichus are first." Gemini explained. Libra gulped. "Ok then." Ophichus approached her and stood straight. "Here are your flowers." He gave a wink. Libra took them and they smelled delightful.
"Your present, my lady." He teased and bowed. Libra took it with a bit of hesitation. She took it out and her eyes widened and so did the other girls. "A rifle!" She stared in awe, examining it immediately. "You know me so well!" She crushed Ophichus with a hug.
"KISS KISS KISS KISS!" The rest were chanting. Libra turned away but Ophichus grabbed her by the wrist and turned her back to face him. His lips tenderly met her's. Libra was taken over and responded wrapping her arms around his neck and tangling her fingers with his long hair.
They broke the kiss and everyone cheered. They both blushed and sat next to each other. "Gemini your turn." Pisces giggled but was silenced by Leo's seductive glance, she gulped.
Capricorn handed the flowers to her first and gave one last sneeze. "Aww that was so cute!" She lightly pinched his cheek. He chuckled and rubbed his neck. He handed the small gift bag to her.
Gemini could smell the perfume before even taking it out, and she loved the fruity smell. "It smells so good!" She took a whiff. "I hoped so." He blushed. "Did you think about it on me when you were buying it?" Gemini smiled slyly. "Maybe." He fiddled with his fingers.
"C'mere." Gemini walked to him. Before they kissed she stopped him. "Oops I almost forgot." She sprayed the perfume a couple time. He was drawn in by the smell and kissed her softly all while smelling the delicious sweet smell.
His hands squeezed her small waist. Gemini pulled away and gave another quick kiss on the cheek before sitting back down. Capricorn almost whined at the loss of her lips but sat next to her.
"Can I goooo." Taurus was getting impatient he really wanted Aqua to see his present. "Yea sure." Gemini said while cuddling with Cap.
Taurus took a deep breath and gave her the flowers. "Hydrangeas? How did you know?" Aqua smiled, she loved the blue purple color of the flower. Taurus cleared his throat and handed the small box to her.
Aqua opened it and gasped. "It's beautiful!" She took the necklace out and examined it. "This must have cost a fortune!" She looked at him. "Oh don't worry about it." Truth is he bargained with the seller until it came to a reasonable price.
She wore it immediately and it looked natural upon her tan skin. Taurus thought it looked way better on her then he expected. He suddenly leaned down and kissed her while she was sitting. Aqua pulled away. "You have a habit by taking me by surprise don't you?" She laughed.
"You bet I do." Taurus winked and kissed her again. He tasted of chocolate, must have been the cookies. Aquarius silently thanked Virgo in her head. "We will continue this later." Taurus smirked and sat next to her, his arm wrapped around her shoulders.
"I will go next." Aries said abruptly. Virgo gulped. He handed her the flowers, they were beautiful and aromatic. He then handed his gift or rather gifts to her without a word.
"Two?" Virgo stood up. "I couldn't decided." Aries laughed and slid a hand down to her waist, making her let out a small squeak. She unboxed the bear first. Then the bracelet which she put on. "I love them both!" She nuzzled into his chest.
"Good." He ruffled her hair, tilted her chin up and pressed his mouth to hers. They kissed passionately for a few more seconds and then finally broke it. "Bloody hell that was amazing." His accent came out, making him even hotter.
"Alright last two and then it's cake time!" Gemini yelled. Pisces found herself drawn to Leo's emerald eyes, she stood up.
"I h-hope you like these." His voice wavered. Pisces had never heard him sound this nervous before his usual arrogant and cocky manner was replaced with a more timid tone.
"You nervous?" She took the flowers and gift. "You have no idea." He ran his hands through his hair. The flowers were one of her favorites. She opened the gift and smiled. "Such a cute dress! It's exactly my size to! How did you know?" She looked at him. "Lucky guess?" He shrugged his shoulders.
Pisces sighed and grabbed his face and gently pulled it down to hers. Their lips met in a fiery battle. Leo won and took over. Her hands were tangled in his hair and his hands were wrapped around her waist. It was a rough but tender kiss.
They both pulled away and smiled at each other. "Ohh that one was spicy!" Gemini exclaimed. Pisces blushed and Leo was back this usual self. "Can't wait to see you in that dress." He smirked devilishly. Pisces blushed at his comment.
"Cake time everyone!" Aquarius cut up the cake into big slices.
"CAAAAAKKKEEE!" Taurus yelled loudly and grabbed the biggest piece possible.
"This is good cake!" Aries took a bite. "Thank Virgo I just iced it." Aqua pointed at Virgo.
"Your a great baker babe." Aries licked the frosting off his lips. "Thanks" Virgo said quietly.
Alright guess hope you enjoyed the chapter just saying Sagittarius and Hescus, those two will have a individual chapter since I haven't written about Sag and Hescus as much.
