Leo's POV

I was at home already and classes ended hours ago.

Unlike any other day, I decided to just...
Stay at home today.

I would usually go out and hang out with friends, but today, I didn't feel like going out.

Probably because it's Valentines...
One would be surprised if they found out that I hated Valentines day.

I was laying in bed when my phone vibrates.

"Hey, still up?"

It was a text from Aries at 9pm.
I replied back.

"Yes, babe."

"...babe. Ew."

I thought she liked me o(╥﹏╥)o

"You need something?"

"Ah. Can I come over? I was going to give you something."

"What? Why didn't you give that earlier in class? It's chocolates, isn't it? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

"No. I'm coming over."

At her reply, I stood.
What?
She's really coming over?

Crap

I hurried to my closet to get a shirt, because I was shirtless and I cleaned my room a bit.

Ding dong.

What???
That was fast.

"A-ah, wait." I run to the door and opened it.

It hasn't even been two minutes.

Don't tell me she's been standing out here before she even texted me.

There's no way she could've gotten here just now because her place is far away from mine.

"Yo!" Aries pats my shoulder as she enters.

"Were you standing there since earlier?" I asked and she coughs.

"Nah. I was just..." She stops and enters my room.

"I wanna stay over." Aries yawns as she sits on my bed.

"What?"

"What."

I look at her weirdly.

You can't just stay over!
Why at my house, of all places?

"That's... A bad idea." I say and Aries just laughs at me.

"When was the last time we slept over?" She tries to remember the last time everyone came over, except for Scorpio and Cancer.

We didn't know Cancer back then and...
Scorpio...

He'd never sleep over anyone's house.
Not even when Capricorn asks him to.

"We used to sleep over a lot, so it will be fine." She smiles sheepishly.

Before was different.
Everyone was here back then, but now it's just you and me.

I coughed.
What?
Why am I overthinking this?
Why am I acting all awkward and defensive now?

This is not like me.

God, I'm scared of something happening between us, she's a friend, and me...
I don't trust myself with girls.

I'm a bit...

"Should I call the others over?" I ask Aries nervously and her smile disappears.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?" I furrowed my brows.

Why is she even asking why?
Does one have to ask why?
The reason is too obvious.

"You trust me too much, honey." I sit besides her, attempting to scare her off, but she just frowns.

"Honey? Don't call me like you do with other girls, dumbass." She crosses her arms.

Sometimes, it felt fun teasing her...
That I'd forget to keep my distance.
That I'd forget to be cautious.

I was trying to get her out of the house right?

I lean a bit on her and she gulps.

Crap, why am I doing this?
Doing this was fine if I were outside.
I'd never do this at home, alone, with a girl.

She seems to stop, waiting for my next move.

She was blushing.
I leaned in and...

"Haha." I hug her.

"Wha--- hey!" She seems to be surprised by my hug and tries to escape.

She was expecting something else.

"Tell me why you're here, idiot. Also, you're definitely not staying over. I'll send you home." I pat Aries' head and she frowns.

"I... Here." She moves a bit and takes something out of her bag.

"This doesn't mean anything, okay? It's just a friendly gift." Aries pushes a box to my chest.

"

Ah. Chocolates. I knew it." I chuckle when she blushes.

"Thanks." I say as I patted hear head once more.

She doesn't say anything, and she was just there, sitting and looking down embarrassedly.

Maybe Valentines isn't too bad after all.

"Come on. I'll send you home." I reach for her hand and she grumbles.

"Okay..."
