**************
A murmur rippled through the room, students exchanging curious glances. Orion ignored them, keeping his gaze fixed on Hinata.
"Prove her wrong," he challenged.
For a moment, Hinata hesitated, her gaze flickering towards Hancock who was watching them with a smug grin. But then, something shifted in her. Her eyes hardened, her posture straightened, and when she met Orion's gaze again, it was with a burning resolve.
"My boyfriend is indeed a passionate man," Hinata declared, her voice steady and sure. "I should match it."
With a confidence that surprised the class, Hinata strode towards Orion. The murmuring in the room died down, replaced by the collective holding of breaths as they watched the scene unfold.
In the silence, Orion heard Hinata's soft footsteps against the wooden stage, the rustling of her clothes, the quiet hum of her breaths. Every tiny detail magnified in the stillness, the anticipation palpable in the air.
Then, Hinata was in front of him, her cheeks flushed, her eyes shining. She looked up at him, her lips curved into a soft smile. "I love you, Orion," she whispered. It wasn't part of the script, it was something raw and real. Her confession hung in the air, an intimate truth shared in front of the class.
Orion felt his heart thud against his ribcage, his pulse quickening at her words. He reached out, cupping her face, his thumb tracing her cheekbone. "I love you too, Hinata," he murmured, his voice barely audible.
The words seemed to ignite something within Hinata. Her fingers tangled into his hair as she leaned in, her lips meeting his in a searing kiss. The kiss was passionate, intense, a clear demonstration of the love they held for each other. Orion found himself lost in the moment, his senses filled with nothing but Hinata.
"Damn," Orion heard Akeno mutter, the word carried over by the stunned silence. A round of applause soon followed, drowning the room in a wave of cheers and whistles.
"Guess I got more passion than you thought, huh?" Hinata's voice echoed around the room, her cheeks still flushed from their passionate kiss. Her statement was bold, confident, a far cry from the shy girl everyone knew her to be.
Hancock, for her part, merely smirked, amusement glinting in her eyes. "We will see," she retorted, her tone layered with a challenge that promised the journey had only just begun.
Before the students could delve deeper into the aftermath of the scene, Hancock clapped her hands together, commanding their attention. "That's enough for today, class. Remember, the play is next week. Practice your lines, imbibe your characters. Passion is the key," she declared, her gaze sweeping over the students, her eyes lingering on Hinata and Orion a moment longer than the others.
As the room slowly emptied, Orion found himself surrounded by his friends.
"That was... intense," Levy muttered, her cheeks tinted pink as she met Orion's gaze. Orion merely grinned, shrugging nonchalantly.
"Nothing like a little passion to spice things up, huh?" He quipped, earning a round of laughter from his friends.
Saeko, the usually stoic girl, surprised him by chuckling lightly. "That was quite a performance, Orion. You've set the bar high."
Orion merely shrugged, a wicked glint in his eyes. "All in a day's work."
His sisters, Luna and Aurora, came over then. They were no longer consumed by jealousy like before. They were content, knowing that no matter how many girls Orion was involved with, he would always have time for them. He was their brother, their boyfriend, and that bond was unbreakable.
"I'm proud of you, Orion," Luna said, a genuine smile on her face.
"And Hinata," Aurora added, her gaze flickering to the girl who was chatting animatedly with the others, "she's got guts."
Mikasa, the strong and silent girl, patted his shoulder, a rare smile adorning her face. "Well done, Romeo," she said, her voice tinged with mirth.
Orion chuckled at her words, shooting her a playful wink. "Thank you, Mikasa. I try my best."
Alice, the ever-cheerful girl, piped up then. "If your best is that hot, then we're in for a treat at the play!" Her words prompted another round of laughter and Orion shook his head, unable to stop his own chuckle.
Levy, her eyes sparkling with excitement, turned to Hinata. "Wow, Hinata! That was incredible! You really held your ground and showed everyone what you're made of."
Hinata blushed, her smile shy yet radiant. "Thank you, Levy. I didn't expect to say those words, but it felt right in the moment."
Aurora chimed in, her eyes filled with admiration. "You were so brave, Hinata. I never knew you had that kind of fire in you."
Hinata nodded, her gaze flickering towards Orion. "Orion brings out the best in me. He challenges me to step out of my comfort zone and be more assertive."
Orion's arm snaked around Hinata's waist, pulling her closer. "And you exceed my expectations every time, Hinata. I couldn't be prouder."
Saeko leaned forward, her voice filled with curiosity. "What made you take such a risk, Hinata? I mean, you deviated from the script and declared your love for Orion."
Hinata's cheeks flushed deeper, but she met their gazes with determination. "I've been holding back for far too long. I realized that if I want to fully embrace my role and bring it to life, I need to embrace my own feelings as well."
Mikasa nodded, understanding in her eyes. "Love can be a powerful motivator, Hinata. It can drive us to new heights and push us beyond our limits."
Alice, always one to inject a lighthearted comment, grinned mischievously. "Well, Hinata, if this is just a taste of what's to come in the play, I think we're in for a steamy performance."
Orion's friends erupted in laughter, their spirits lifted by the newfound energy in the room. The tension from earlier had dissipated, replaced by a sense of camaraderie and excitement for what lay ahead.
Levy clapped her hands together, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Alright, team! Let's make this play unforgettable. We'll pour our hearts into it and leave the audience breathless."
The group nodded in agreement, their determination solidifying. The events of that day had ignited a fire within each of them, and they were ready to channel that passion into their performances.
