Child

Taurus was in the kitchen, cooking dinner when there was a knock on the door. He answered the door and saw a red headed child standing on the front doormat. He had six weird crab legs and bruises that ran all over his body. Taurus felt bad for him and looked at him. "Hello, little boy, who are you?"

"My name is Cancer."

"Would you like to come inside? It must be freezing out there" Taurus asked. "No thank you, my mum said she was coming back for me and if I go inside she might not know where I am." Cancer said, shivering. "I'll be a good boy if I do what my mum says, she might even make me something special for dinner."

"Does your mom cook for you often?"

"No, but I don't blame her, it cuts into her social life." He said, looking down. Taurus sighed. "I don't think she wanted you."

Cancer started to tear up. "What do you mean? She loves me! She let me to stay with her, though she forces me to stay outside sometimes, but it for punishment for not cleaning."

"Just, you seem hurt and I don't want you to be hurt." Taurus said before picking up the child and carried him inside. He placed him on the couch and went to make him a hot chocolate. "Here, drink this to warm you up." Taurus said before continuing to cook dinner.

Latter that night, Capricorn came home and saw Cancer on the couch. "Taurus why is there a child on our couch?"

"Oh, uh, he was left outside the house, and I felt bad for him, I couldn't just leave him out there."

"But we don't have space for a child!"

"But Capri-"

"No buts!"

Cancer heard them argue about him. He felt so guilty for this, he didn't mean to be such a trouble to them. He wrote a note that was stained with small tears and placed it near the door before leaving. He ran off in a random direction and cried, trying to find his mum, or anyone who would care.

Taurus heard the door open and checked for Cancer. Seeing that he wasn't in the house he must have left the house. He saw the note and read it aloud. "Dear people who live here, I'm sorry for wasting your time and space... thank you for caring for a little bit, but I'm causing you trouble and you don't want me either. From, Cancer." The letter said. "Oh, he left..." Capricorn said, not really caring. Taurus didn't hesitate as he ran out to hopefully find Cancer. The bull horned man saw a small group of people kicking a body. "Please, please stop!" The body squeaked. Taurus heard it was Cancer and picked up the injured boy. "I'm sorry, sir... I'm a waste of your time..."

"You're not, just come on, let's go to my house and let you rest for a bit, okay?" Taurus asked, carrying the child home.

When they got home, Taurus opened the door and saw Capricorn sleeping on the couch. "Capricorn...?"

Capricorn woke up and looked at looked at Taurus. He sighed. "I tried finishing cooking what you were cooking but I burned it. So I ordered pizza, it's in the kitchen." He said before walking off to bed. He didn't eat and sat on his bed. He looked to his balcony and stood up, walking over to it. "It's a high fall, I could die if I jumped off it." He said, standing on the rail before Taurus came into the room. "You didn't eat, I brought you some-"  he said before seeing Capricorn standing on the edge of the balcony. He swiftly put the pizza down and pulled him away from the balcony. "What the hell are you doing!?"

"Im a bad person, I needed to kill myself..."

"No you don't, you aren't a bad person also." Taurus said, hugging Capricorn close. The goat horned man started sobbing. "Im a person for not letting that kid stay...."

After a few minutes, he calmed down and held Taurus close and sighed. "Im sorry..."

"Its fine... come on, lets talk to Cancer."
