The feelings are mutual, you are on the same page and you are making prolonged eye contact. In love and romance this is a steamy card about connecting with another person on a deep level, but it can be a partnership outside of the romantic

Reversed

Two of Cups for Scorpio in The Future

The Transformer

Cups are the water suit, so the Two of Cups sits in Scorpio. That makes this Scorpio's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Scorpio already believes it is good at: say the feeling to the person it is about. Upright, the second thing has actually arrived and the negotiation between them is live.

When reading about what comes next through a Scorpio lens, the Two of Cups says that you feel like what you want is too important to say aloud, because speaking it makes it vulnerable (or makes it real), and something you will build in the dark and reveal only when it is already solid. This has either led to you achieving things quietly and completely, or to you never quite starting because the risk of being seen wanting something feels unbearable. You already know what comes next, and you are afraid of what it will cost you to get there. The Scorpio blind spot in it is the feeling of being fooled, or of being seen as naive, or of depending on someone who will leave.

In practice that can look like wanting something you had stopped admitting to, or a place that feels like home. Whatever form it takes, it is becoming a two person situation.
