The next day dawned quickly, ushering in a Saturday that had a brisk pace to it. Orion, an early riser, was out of bed before the sun had fully ascended into the sky. He had a long day ahead of him. A delicate balance had to be maintained - he had to give attention to his four girlfriends who were left out during the family bonding times while simultaneously not neglecting his newly formed lover bonds with his sisters.

Slipping into the kitchen, Orion started to prepare breakfast. The usually tranquil space was soon filled with the sounds and scents of a meal being prepared. Bacon sizzled in a pan, while an array of fruits were neatly chopped on the counter. Simultaneously, he began creating picnic food for his first date of the day.

Orion worked with a focused intent, his hands deftly chopping, stirring, and arranging. He fell into a rhythm, the familiarity of the kitchen and the act of preparing food offering him comfort. As the various dishes started taking shape, his mind wandered to his dates.

As he turned his attention back to the food, he couldn't help but think about the balancing act his life had become. His philosophy was simple: give twice as much as you receive. If someone showed him kindness, he would return it two-fold. If someone tried to overpower him, he would come back twice as hard. It was a code that governed his actions, driving him to strive for more, for better.

His mind wandered to his first date of the day. It was a picnic, a simple concept that Orion planned to elevate. He thought about the menu, the location, the activities he'd planned. He wanted to give his date an experience, a memory that they could cherish. "It's all about the details," he mused aloud, putting the finishing touches on the picnic basket.

Just then, Luna and Aurora walked into the kitchen, their eyes still bleary from sleep. They were met with the tantalizing aroma of breakfast and the sight of Orion, looking completely in his element in the kitchen.

"Good morning," Orion greeted, a welcoming smile on his face.

"Morning," they chorused, rubbing their eyes and moving to help him. They were met with a gentle wave of his hand, Orion shaking his head. "Nah, I've got this. Go and freshen up. Breakfast will be ready by the time you return." With twin nods, they left the kitchen.

By the time Elara and Selene made their way down the grand staircase of the house, the dining room table was already set in readiness. The aroma of a hearty breakfast filled the room. A casual glance around the room showed a perfect display of breakfast items, beautifully laid out.

Orion was stationed at the head of the table, a satisfied smile on his face as he placed the last platter on the table. As soon as his mothers entered the room, his face lit up with joy.

"Good morning, Moms," he greeted, his eyes sparkling with affection.

"Good morning, Orion," they echoed, their gazes softening at the sight of their son. Both of them approached him, their smiles widening.

As they got to him, each planted a kiss on one of his cheeks, their motherly affection unabated by the fact that Orion was now a grown man. The twin show of affection brought a chuckle from him, his eyes sparkling with love and mirth.

"Just like old times," Selene murmured, her voice soft with nostalgia.

"Wouldn't change it for anything," Elara added, giving Orion's hand a gentle squeeze.

The moment was interrupted as Luna and Aurora entered the dining room. They had freshened up and changed into their morning clothes, their faces glowing with youthful vigor. On seeing Orion, they both walked up to him and planted their kisses closer to his lips. Orion chuckled, his love for his sisters evident in his warm gaze. The morning ritual was something that had formed over time and had become an unbreakable tradition.

With all the kisses bestowed, everyone settled into their chairs, ready to dig into the delicious breakfast. Just as Elara was about to serve herself, Orion cleared his throat, attracting their attention.

"I'm afraid I won't be joining you for breakfast today," he announced, a hint of regret in his voice.

Four pairs of eyes blinked at him in surprise. "What?" Luna exclaimed, disappointment clear in her voice.

Orion nodded, running a hand through his hair. "I'm taking Hinata out for a picnic today," he explained, a hint of excitement seeping into his voice at the mention of his date.

The girls exchanged glances before turning back to Orion, a collective groan escaping their lips. "We wanted to spend the morning with you, Orion," Aurora mumbled, her disappointment clear.

"I know, and I wanted to be with you too," he reassured, a small smile on his face. "But I've promised Hinata, and I can't back out."

Understanding washed over their faces as they took in his words. They knew how much Orion valued his promises, his word was his bond. And although they felt a twinge of disappointment, they also felt a surge of pride for their brother. He was proving yet again that he was a man of his word.

Seeing their acceptance, Orion stood up, walking over to each of them. He bent down, planting a kiss on top of their heads, then their cheeks. Each kiss was a promise, a reassurance that he was there for them, that he loved them dearly.

Aurora looked up at him, her eyes brimming with adoration. "We understand, Orion. Go ahead, have fun with Hinata," she said, her voice filled with sincerity. Luna nodded in agreement, a soft smile on her face.

Leaving them behind in the dining room, Orion went back to the kitchen to retrieve the picnic basket he had prepared.

Jumping on his scooter, Orion swung the picnic basket onto the back seat, securing it with a bungee cord. Starting the engine with a smooth purr, he drove off towards Hinata's house, the morning sun casting a warm glow on the quiet streets.
