As they continued walking down the hallway, Orion's hand still holding Winry's, she finally found her voice.

As Orion and Winry walked hand in hand, their fingers intertwined, a warm and comfortable silence settled between them. Winry couldn't believe what was happening – she had always harbored a crush on Orion, but she never imagined that he might actually reciprocate her feelings.

The childhood friends walked at a leisurely pace, savoring the simple pleasure of each other's company. With each step, Winry's heart swelled with happiness, feeling as though she was floating on a cloud. And yet, beneath her elation, a nagging sense of unease tugged at the edges of her mind.

Eventually, Orion broke the silence, his voice soft and tinged with a hint of sadness. "Winry, I need to be honest with you," he began, his grip on her hand tightening ever so slightly. "I'm a bastard."

Winry's eyes widened in surprise, her heart skipping a beat. She didn't know what to make of his sudden confession, but she could tell that whatever he was about to reveal was important.

Orion took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say. "I'm a bastard with a big heart, and I love multiple women. I don't want to lie to you or deceive you in any way, so I need you to know that I'm already in a relationship with Hinata and Tatsumaki. They both know about each other, and if you're willing to give this a try, I'll be completely honest with all of you."

Winry's mind raced, struggling to process the information Orion had just divulged. Her hand trembled in his, but she couldn't bring herself to let go. The warmth of his touch was comforting, and she found herself unwilling to relinquish it.

For a moment, Winry was silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and uncertainty. Was she really willing to share Orion with two other women? Was it possible for her to be happy in such an unconventional relationship?

In the midst of her internal turmoil, Winry recalled the countless years she had spent pining for Orion, longing for the day when she could finally reveal her true feelings to him. She had finally taken that leap, and the thought of giving up without even trying was unbearable.

With a mixture of trepidation and determination, Winry finally spoke. "Orion, I... I'm willing to give this a try. But you have to promise me something. Promise me that you won't neglect me, that I won't be just an afterthought in your life."

Orion's eyes shone with sincerity as he nodded, his grip on her hand unwavering. "I promise, Winry. I won't neglect you. You're important to me, and I'll make sure you always feel valued and cared for."

As they reached Winry's house, Orion paused, his gaze locked on hers. Slowly, he leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a tender, searing kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of promises and uncharted territory, a testament to the bond they had forged throughout their years of friendship.

As they pulled apart, Winry was left breathless, the memory of the kiss lingering on her lips like a sweet aftertaste. Orion gave her hand one last squeeze before releasing it, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.

"Goodnight, Winry," he whispered, his voice low and intimate. "I'll see you tomorrow."

With that, he turned and walked away, his steps light and confident, a cheerful whistle on his lips.

Winry stood on her doorstep, her heart racing and her mind buzzing with thoughts and emotions. She knew that she was embarking on an uncertain and unconventional journey, but she couldn't deny the allure of the possibility that lay before her. With Orion by her side, she felt as though she could face any challenge that came their way.

As Winry entered her home, she couldn't help but replay the events of the evening in her mind, her heart swelling with a mixture of joy and apprehension. She knew that the path she had chosen was unorthodox, but she had faith in the love and trust that bound her to Orion.

That night, as she lay in bed, Winry reflected on her decision, weighing the risks and rewards of this new chapter in her life. She knew that there would be challenges and obstacles to overcome, but she also believed that the love she shared with Orion could help them navigate the complexities of their unconventional relationship.

As she drifted off to sleep, Winry's thoughts were filled with images of Orion, her heart brimming with a mix of love, uncertainty, and hope for the future. She knew that this journey wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to face it head-on, hand in hand with the man she loved.

The following day, Winry awoke to the sunlight streaming through her window, casting a warm glow over her room. She stretched languidly, her mind still filled with memories of the previous evening. As she prepared for the day ahead, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of Orion and the new adventure they were about to embark on together.

At school, Winry's eyes were drawn to Orion as soon as she caught sight of him in the hallway. Their eyes met, and she felt a thrill of excitement as he flashed her a warm, reassuring smile. She knew that their relationship would require patience, understanding, and open communication, but she was ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.

Throughout the day, Orion and Winry exchanged secret glances, their connection deepening with each shared smile and stolen touch. As they navigated the complexities of their new relationship, they found solace in their unwavering bond, their love and trust in one another acting as a guiding light in their unconventional journey.

As the sun set, and the day drew to a close, Orion and Winry found themselves walking hand in hand once more, their fingers intertwined as they made their way down the familiar path to Winry's house. With each step, their love for one another grew stronger, and their resolve to face the challenges ahead only deepened.

Together, they would forge a new path, hand in hand, hearts entwined, and love as their guiding star.
