sparrow was more of the inclination that zodiac signs were a whole bunch of mumbo-jumbo bullshit . then again , they were never the most optimistic of individuals — oh , how easy life would have been if they could simply pin their misfortune on the planetary alignment of which they were born under , instead of the cursed lineage they had been forced to be a part of . “ luckily for you , i’m a taurus — whatever the hell that means , “ they responded , with a punctuating flick of ash onto the concrete at their feet , “ so that means i suck ass because i just suck ass , and not because my moon is in venus or whatever the hell you were talking about . retrograding , and all that sort of bullshit , “ their misfortune , much to their dismay , was wholeheartedly the fault of their own .

“I mean, tauruses can suck ass, too, and that’s coming from a double bull.” Kaya rests her hand on her chest, indicative of whom she’s referring to, “the stubbornness; the whole, like, holding onto grudges– forgive? Maybe. Forget? Good luck with that.” Though she supposes that Sparrow isn’t all that inclined to listening to much more of her ranting– bullshit, that’s what they’d called this whole thing. Kaya barely manages to scrape back a scoff at the brusque dismissal.

“You always wake up on the wrong side of the bed or is today a special occasion?”

                    ADIYA COULD LISTEN   to someone rant about zodiac signs, their personal opinions about the 12th house and how the planets impact kim kardashian’s marital status for as long as possible.       it was interesting as   she  is usually the one taking over the conversation with a tirade no one asked for but this was nice.      entertaining, to say the least,  and if it hadn’t been for kaya’s pause she would have listened with glee even longer.

                  “   oh, scorpio !  ”   there’s a sense of pride in her voice with the announcement.   although, she’s certain if she did a deep dive, the infamous fifth sign of the zodiac would dominate her chart somehow.   the less you know the better.     “  dude,  i love this shit. seriously,  it makes my nips hard.  ”     always so classy.     “  you gotta teach me your ways, everything i know about astrology is from white teenage girls on tiktok.  which,  if you ask me,  is like asking straight dudes who watch the big bang theory to speak on female anatomy. ”

✻ ✻ ✻

The corners of Kaya’s mouth curve down as her brows rise up, surprised. “Huh,” she utters, head cocking. Her sharp gaze slices over Adiya in a zig-zag, taking in her openness, her enthusiasm. It’s heartwarming, admittedly, which isn’t something Kaya would associate with a scorpio. She clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth, “I gotta check your chart. Like, honestly? Would’ve pegged you for a gemini. Which, I mean, I personally love, so.”

Kaya takes a pondering sip from her mango-blueberry smoothie, only to snort some of it up into her nose when Adiya mentions her “nips”. Cold shoots up into her skull, and Kaya tilts her head back, spare hand flying to cup over her nose as a strained laugh shakes in her chest. “Oh... my... god,” she groans along the tail-end of her cackling.

                         A LEO   was their answer ;  the stranger then wasting no time to scurry off with evident irritation at kaya’s tirade.  his lips part to laugh ,  only closing when he pops a sour patch kid in his mouth and begins to chew.       “  nice job,  i think they really appreciated the whole,  you know,  attention - seeking  part.  ”    his words are dripping with sarcasm,  eating another piece of candy before offering the opened bag to his sister.     while he could easily convince himself that he was just anxious,  with guilt merging into his thought process like a virus,  he can’t help but find himself always attempting to salvage their relationship in some way.  even if the way seemed small   &   meaningless.          “   alright  ,  kay ,  my turn.    give me your weird, witchy libra knowledge.  ”

✻ ✻ ✻

Kaya sucks on her teeth, brows knitting in utter exasperation. “Please,” she scoffs, “as if running out like that isn’t attention-seeking. Fucking baby.”

Time and time again, Kaya finds herself standing on the wrong side of right: She says the wrong thing, or says the right thing wrong. Does the wrong thing. Reacts in the wrong way. Soggy– Connor (what kind of the fuck nickname is Soggy, anyways?) –it seems, is hellbent on reminding her of the fact. 

So when he offers her the bag, Kaya grabs a fistful of sours, instead of just a few. The look she shoots him dares him to complain: Malik isn’t here to yank them apart by the ears, and Kaya’s never been one to shy away from giving her brother a good tug at his dumb-floppy hair.

“D’you even care about this stuff?” she challenges around a mouthful, lips smacking for a moment when the sugar stings her taste buds. Kaya shrugs, rolls her eyes. Whatever. “Smart, I guess. People’ll say you're all diplomatic, but it’s just run-of-the-mill shit stirring. Uh...  Libras are kinda like ambiverts, I guess: You’re all needy, and you value connections, but you get burnt out easily.”

he stared at her in silence for a second before nodding, “you have a point there, i can’t deny that. however, i’m just going to blame the stars and ask people if they are leos from here on out. it’s kind a perfect ice breaker if you ever want to randomly approach an interesting looking individual but don’t know what to talk about.” he paused, tilting his head slightly, “would it have worked on you, k? if i asked ‘are you a leo?’ would it have sparked your interest to talk to me or just had you say ‘you’re an idiot. bye.’ 

as their conversation shifts to the his suggestion of visiting the abandoned building he is pleasantly surprised by her reaction to it. “that’s the kind of energy i’m talking about! let’s go. we just need to grab my camera from my place real quick and then off we go.” he grinned.  (mini time skip to the abandoned building) with his evp recorder safely tucked into his  hoodie pocket and camera secured in his head, soren makes his way up the half broken down building. “jeez. this place looks like it’s about as kept together as my life is.” he commented, before looking over at her, “be careful, yeah? i wouldn’t want you to get hurt. i’d feel pretty shitty if you ended up becoming part of the hauntings in this place, you’re way too cool for that.”

✻ ✻ ✻

“Asking if someone’s a leo is like those dumbass gags in sit-coms where they ask how far along a person is, ‘cept it turns out they’re not pregnant.” If anyone were to ever ask her if there was some leo in her chart, they’d most likely get a swift slap to the cheek. Not really, but at the very least the poor soul in question would be on the unfortunate receiving end of an equally bruising choice of words.

After a brief pause, Kaya advises, “better to ask if they’re a libra. Everyone seems to love those.” Not that she knows why. In Kaya’s experience, they tend to be the biggest shit stirrers out there.

Watching Soren ‘work’ has always been something that’s struck Kaya’s curiosity. As much as she enjoys the spotlight, she tends to prefer sticking to the bleachers and watch the ghost hunters at work. She stands firmly in the realm of ambivalence, sometimes swaying towards firm belief while other moments occupy pure skepticism; either way, Kaya’s in no rush to mess with invisible shit that might fuck her up. But, hey, Soren’s the one messing with this stuff, so he ought to be the first target. Enough to give her a head start, should she need to bolt.

Somewhere in the structure’s cavities, a drip echoes. It’s cliché, Kaya considers, given what they’re here for. The hot summer breeze carrying one season into the next whistles through nooks and crannies, and she almost has to snort as she follows Soren, hands in her pockets, footing confident despite the rotting wood beneath them.

Kaya quirks a brow. “You’re pretty generous with your compliments, man,” she points out. “I mean, it’s true, I’m very cool, but–” Just then, the toe of her sneaker catches on a loose floorboard. Gravity yanks her forwards, and Kaya flails, grabbing onto Soren’s arm to keep her from stumbling. “Shit, fuck-nuggets!”

❝ avoid leos , check . should i put that in my tinder bio ?? ‘ not looking for leo love . ‘ ❞ if anyone can use a lesson in astrology , it’s emmett . he knows nothing about how or why the sun , moon , stars or planets have anything to do with your personality traits , but he’s willing to listen . even if you can see the clear sign of looking utterly lost plastered on facial features . ❝ i’m not sure what i am . i was born in march . the 8th to be exact . what does that mean ?? ❞

“It’s all about compatibility, too. I mean, I’m just being super biased here, y’know? Plus–” Kaya rests the side of her hand beside her mouth, as though sharing an inside joke with Emmett, despite the following being pretty common knowledge, “ –can’t blame everything on the stars ’n’ planets, right?” 

She drops her hand, shrugs, threads her fingers and rests both palms on the crown of her head, cushioned by bouncy curls. Her lips lift into a grin, twitching around something playful.

“My guy, you’re a Pisces,” Kaya reveals, “hella emotional. Hella. And creative, I guess, but the emotional stuff definitely takes first place here.”

“Gemini… just. So you’re safe.” Had Mei gone off a little into her own world as the other had been talking? Maybe so, but that was nothing unusual really. Just as it was nothing usual for Kaya to keep on talking. They made an interesting pair considering both of those facts. 

✻ ✻ ✻

“I mean,” Kaya teases, chin leaning on the heel of one hand as the other reaches out to bounce once, twice off the tip of Mei’s nose. She smirks, mischief laced into every word as she says, “I could totally give you the whole Gemini spiel, if you want.”

sorgraves·:

“i have my moments,” sor replies with a crooked grin, giving a little shrug. “although, how do i ensure i stay away from them? should i just ask everyone i meet for the rest of my life if they are a leo, and if they are, then tell them to fuck off depending on their answer?” 

he quirks a curious brow as he listens to her speak her thoughts on scorpios, his crooked grin growing a bit wider, “i don’t think anyone’s ever actually called me hot, let alone enigmatic, before. huh.” if they had then he was probably either too drunk, high, or zoned out to have noticed. “but wild? now that much, i can confirm. i’m pretty much ready for an adventure any time, all the time. like right now, there’s this abandoned building outside of town i want to visit. it’s supposed to be haunted or something. then again, i feel like almost everywhere is haunted.”

✻ ✻ ✻

“I mean, let’s not be like those excessively online people, right? Like, not everything is to blame on the stars. Sometimes folks are just assholes.”

For once, Kaya decides against correcting someone, in this case Soren. She doesn’t want to burst his bubble and point out that, actually, she hadn’t called him wild, more so implied that he could be vindictive, sign considering. But then he’s moving onto something else, something far more interesting than the what ifs of his personality.

“Well, shit, let’s go, dude!” Kaya springs to her feet, phone swinging from the plastic, transparent bag dangling from the mauve chain around her neck. “Spooky shit for spooky season.”

sorgraves​:

“steer clear of all leos in the future. noted.”  even though at one point soren had dreamed of becoming an astrologist, he wasn’t well versed in the zodiac signs or astrology. although he did have a guilty pleasure of reading his daily horoscope because he always found it so interesting how most of the time it was accurate, and it was like a sneak peak into what lay ahead for the day. “i swear i’m not a leo. out of curiosity, what’s your opinion on scorpios again?”

✻ ✻ ✻

Her hand forms the shape of a gun, thumb crooking just as she winks to fire off her approval. “You’re quick,” she praises.

A slow, pondering hiss slips steadily through her teeth as Kaya directs her pensive gaze up towards the sky. It drops about a split-second later, just before her shoulder jumps up into a half-shrug.

“Listen, I mean...” she trails off, ringed fingers wiggling in a so-so gesture, “y’all are hot, but, like... so much effort. But I guess that’s part of what makes you hot? Also, just, totally, like–” Her fingers thread together; she rests her chin on her knuckles, “–enigmatic. But totally vindictive, it’s wild.”

[ofdcllparts-archive]

“... and that is why Leos absolutely suck ass.”

How they’ve ended up dissecting zodiac signs is anyone’s guess, though one might be safe in betting on Kaya’s natural-born talent for derailing a conversation, only to steer it into well-known territory. She loves astrology, it’s no secret; she also tends to talk, and talk, and talk until someone— be it the rest of the conversation’s participants or somebody within earshot —ends up if but a little offended. 

Which is why Kaya pauses now, and wonders if who she’s speaking to is, in fact, a Leo.

“What... sign were you again?”
