**************

After the memorable biology class with Rangiku Sensei, the students made their way to their next class: Theater, taught by the stunningly beautiful and prideful Boa Hancock. The students filed into the room, taking their seats and chatting excitedly about the upcoming school play.

Hancock had selected Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, for the performance. Orion had been chosen to play the role of Romeo, while Hinata, one of his girlfriends, was to play Juliet. The other girls in the class, including Tatsumaki and Winry, were more than a little envious of Hinata's role and were determined to show off their own acting abilities in hopes of stealing the part. However, Hinata had been studying for days and had no intention of losing her role to anyone.

As the students prepared to start their practice, Luna and Aurora watched Orion with a mix of adoration and jealousy. While they didn't mind their brother having multiple girlfriends, they couldn't help but worry that his newfound relationships would mean less time for them. The sisters exchanged glances, silently agreeing to keep a close eye on their beloved brother and ensure he wouldn't be swept away by the other girls in the class.

Boa Hancock stood in front of the students, her eyes scanning the room before landing on Orion and Hinata. "Alright, let's start with the famous balcony scene. Remember, this is a deeply emotional moment between Romeo and Juliet, so don't hold back. Really get into your roles."

The rest of the class watched as Orion and Hinata took their positions. Orion, ever the suave and charismatic young man, seemed entirely unfazed by the challenge. Hinata, though she had practiced diligently, appeared slightly more nervous, feeling the weight of the other girls' envy and expectations.

As they began to recite their lines, the chemistry between Orion and Hinata was undeniable. The intensity of their performance left the other students captivated, the room filled with a palpable tension. Yet, Hancock couldn't help but notice Hinata's lingering shyness and hesitance in certain moments.

Deciding to intervene, Hancock approached Orion, her body language confident and purposeful. "Hinata, I think you need to be a bit more... daring in your portrayal of Juliet. Watch closely."

Before Orion had a chance to react, Hancock placed her hands on his waist, her face inches away from his, and began to recite Juliet's lines. Their breaths mingled, barely brushing each other's lips as she spoke. The students watched in shock, the air thick with jealousy and disbelief.

Orion, however, remained unflustered. He maintained his composure and leaned in even closer to Hancock, matching her intensity as he recited his lines. The other students couldn't help but be impressed by his unwavering confidence.

Hancock raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smirk playing on her lips as she backed away from Orion. "That's exactly what I'm looking for, Hinata. Be bold and don't be afraid to get close to your Romeo."

As Hinata nodded, taking in the advice, the other girls in the class fumed with jealousy. They couldn't believe that their teacher had just demonstrated such a passionate scene with Orion, and right in front of Hinata, no less.

Luna and Aurora shared a look of concern, worried that their brother's heart was becoming more and more vulnerable to the advances of others. They vowed to remain vigilant and protect him from any unwanted attention.

Meanwhile, Hinata steeled her resolve, determined to make the most of her role as Juliet. She stepped back into her position opposite Orion, her eyes filled with a newfound confidence.

The scene continued, building up to the iconic moment when Romeo and Juliet share their first kiss. Hinata braced herself, expecting Orion to kiss her cheek while covering their faces with his hand, giving the illusion of a passionate embrace. However, Orion had other plans.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Orion closed the distance between them, boldly pressing his lips against Hinata's. As their classmates gasped in surprise, Orion made sure to position himself so that only Boa Hancock could see the true nature of the kiss. He locked eyes with his teacher, refusing to blink as the intensity of the kiss grew.

Hancock, despite her proud nature, couldn't help but be taken aback by Orion's unyielding gaze. She found herself drawn in, her lips curling into a smile as she marveled at his audacity. The rest of the class, unable to see what was happening, could only speculate and whisper among themselves.

"Did he really just kiss her?" Orihime murmured, her eyes wide with shock.

"It looks like it," Levy whispered back, her cheeks flushed with envy.

Luna and Aurora exchanged worried glances, their protective instincts flaring up as they watched their brother's bold display. They could see how his actions were affecting not only Hinata but also their beautiful teacher, and they couldn't help but feel concerned about what this would mean for their relationship with him.

As the passionate kiss continued, Hinata's initial shock gave way to exhilaration. She wrapped her arms around Orion's neck, fully committing to the scene and impressing both her classmates and teacher with her newfound confidence.

Finally, Orion and Hinata broke apart, both breathing heavily as they tried to regain their composure. The room was filled with stunned silence, their classmates still reeling from the unexpected turn of events.

Boa Hancock, however, looked thoroughly impressed. "Excellent," she praised, her eyes still locked with Orion's. "That's the kind of passion and dedication I want to see in this performance."

Hinata, her face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and satisfaction, nodded determinedly. Hinata's newfound confidence caught the attention of the entire class, and the room buzzed with whispers and stifled laughter. In an unexpected turn of events, Hinata raised her hand and asked, "Hancock-sensei, could we try that scene again? I feel like I still need to work on my timing."

The entire class burst into laughter, clearly amused by Hinata's sudden boldness. Hancock, her face flushed, tried to maintain her composure as she nodded. "Of course, Hinata. It's important to get the scene just right."

As the class settled down, Luna and Aurora couldn't help but seethe with anger. They couldn't believe the audacity of the other girls, particularly Hinata, who seemed to be taking full advantage of her role as Juliet to get closer to their brother.

Orion, ever the suave and unflappable young man, smirked at his sisters' reactions. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he reveled in the chaos his actions had caused.

The scene began anew, with Orion and Hinata once again reciting their lines. The tension in the room was palpable, with everyone waiting in anticipation for the climactic kiss. This time, Hinata didn't hesitate. She threw her arms around Orion's neck and kissed him passionately, much to the surprise and envy of her classmates.

Boa Hancock watched the scene unfold, unable to deny that the chemistry between Orion and Hinata was captivating. Even though she would never admit it out loud, she for a second imagined herself in place of Hinata, her face flushed.

As the scene concluded, the students erupted into applause, clearly impressed by Hinata's transformation. Luna and Aurora, however, were less than thrilled. They shared a look of frustration and concern, worried that their brother was becoming more and more entangled with the other girls.

Boa Hancock clapped her hands, her face still flushed from the passionate display. "Excellent work, both of you. That was truly a remarkable performance."

The rest of the class continued with their scenes, but Luna and Aurora couldn't shake their feelings of jealousy and protectiveness.
