"What colour roses?" Virgo had taken it upon himself to plan the upcoming wedding, with assistance from his husband and both Leo and Ophichius.
"Red? What other kind of roses are there?" Aquarius frowned.
"I think you can get any colour of rose, Aqua," Capricorn murmured. "Not just red,"
"Oh,"
"So?" Virgo raised an eyebrow.
"Blue," Aquarius answered. "You want to choose a colour, Cap?" She looked up at him.
"Blue's good. Goes with my hair," he said.
"Oh! I suppose it does," Aquarius chuckled.
"Maybe lilac as well," Capricorn suggested.
"Got it. I'll let you guys go now. I have to talk to Ophichius and Leo," Virgo sighed, got to his feet, and left the room.
Aquarius and Capricorn looked at each other.
"Has he talked to you?" He queried.
"No. You?"
"It's been a month. Shouldn't we just talk to him?"
"He needs space,"
"Does he?"
Aquarius sighed. "Probably not,"
"What about Gem? He's his best friend, isn't he?" Capricorn tapped his fingers on the table.
"Gem's in la la land with Aries at the moment. I'm dreading the next prank,"
"Libra?"
"She's struggling too,"
They both sighed. "What about Cancer?"
"Why her? She's not especially close to him, is she?" Capricorn cocked his head to the side.
"On the contrary, Cancer's close with everyone. She's like a built in therapist for us really. Very unhealthy of her,"
He snorted. "Taurus is like that,"
"That explains a lot,"

"Dammit!" Sagittarius cursed.
"Sagittarius?" Ophichius poked his head out of his office.
Sagittarius was pressed against a wall, groaning as he attempted to continue down the corridor.
"Do you need any help?" Ophichius frowned.
"No!" The other man snapped, finally managing to push his chair away from the wall. "Just working this out,"
"If you're sure,"
"I'm sure," Sagittarius glared before wheeling himself down the corridor.
Ophichius sighed, hitting his head against the doorframe.
"I'd advise you don't do that. You could hinder any brains you have left,"
"Holy- Mini,"
"What's up with you? I can never sneak up on you," She cocked her head to the side.
"I'm worried about Sagittarius,"
"Oh. Yeah," she made a face. "I was talking to Aqua about him earlier,"
Ophichius raised an eyebrow and made a gesture for her to continue.
"She thinks that if she talks to him, it'll make it worse. She said she would talk to Cap about it,"
"Those three need to get their heads out of their asses,"
"Agreed. You wanna talk to Gem? He's sagi's best friend,"
"He and Aries are in their... honeymoon? Can I describe what their relationship is like that?"
"Their relationship isn't one of... typical romance. So maybe not,"
He sighed. "Suppose so,"
"We could trap Sagi in a room with Aqua and Cap?" Mini said after a moment's silence.
"Serious ideas,"
"I was being serious!"
Ophichius sighed, and started to fiddle with his ring. "Last case scenario, I think,"
"Spoilsport," Mini stuck her tongue out at him. "Never let me have any fun,"
"You sure?" His eyebrow quirked.
"Sure," she tipped her head up to meet his eyes.

Hey, Libra
Libra furrowed her brows as Sagittarius wheeled over to her.
I... see
She signed in response.
All fourteen of them were getting to grips with signing, though it was incredibly difficult, and she was getting extremely frustrated with it.
Seriously, she had hearing aids, why did she need to sign too?
"Do you want me to stop?" Sagittarius asked gently.
His voice seemed almost echoey to her ears, and she nodded. "Please,"
Her voice was cracked, broken.
"Okay," he wheeled his chair next to the sofa. "It's gonna be okay,"
She shot him a look. "Now who's being an optimist?" She snarked.
"You know we understand each other," he began. "The others trying to help though... it just infuriates me,"
"Hello?" Cancer poked her head through the doorway. "Hey guys," she said softly, strolling in with Draco in her arms.
"What do you want?" Sagittarius asked bitterly.
"Hey now," she frowned. "I've come to talk to you guys,"
"We're fine," Libra said.
"I don't believe you," the new mother sing-songed, perching herself opposite the duo. "Want to hold Draco?" She offered her baby to Sagittarius, who took him gently.
"Now!" Cancer clasped her hands in front of her. "I had cancer as a child,"
"You- you what?" Sagittarius spluttered.
"Oh god," Libra murmured.
"Not many people know. Really, just my mama, Scorp and Taur, though Ophi and mini both also probably know," she mused. "What I'm trying to say, is that you know you'll get through it. Come on, you're both extremely strong members of two fucking gangs for goodness sake! I know it seems bad now," she offered a small smile. "But you can persevere. You're both getting better at signing, and using your wheels in getting around. It's only been a month, and you know you can accept help if needed. No one here will ever think less of you because you lack hearing or use of legs, and you know that,"
"We don't need pity," Libra said shortly.
"I'm not giving you any," cancer got back to her feet. "Sagi, you gotta talk to Aqua and cap, you know they want to talk to you. Give them a chance," she picked her son up, and swiftly exited the room.
"Is she a licensed psychologist or..."
"No idea. True enigma, that woman," Sagittarius replied.
