The last class of the day, Math with Korosensei, was a blur of equations and quick quips. The sun cast long shadows as Orion emerged from the building, fatigue in his step but a smile on his face. The familiar sight of the school garden greeted him with a riot of color, but what truly captured his attention were Luna and Aurora, pouting playfully on a stone bench.

Luna, with a mock pout, quirked an eyebrow. "So, Mr. Popular, what time will you be gracing us with your presence tonight?"

Orion approached them, a smirk playing on his lips. "Worried you'll have to eat dinner without me?" He patted Luna's head, the strands of her hair slipping through his fingers. "I won't be late. I promise."

Aurora, her eyes twinkling with mischief, leaned closer, "If you're not there by dinner, we'll just have to eat your share."

Chuckling, Orion gave her a gentle pat too. "I wouldn't dream of letting that happen." He leaned down, kissing both their cheeks softly. The act, casual and filled with sibling affection, held a deeper significance after their new status as lovers.

As he straightened, Hinata, Winry, Tatsumaki, and Vivi appeared by his side, each with their unique aura but bound by the same intent – to spend time with Orion. He intertwined his fingers with Hinata and Winry on either side, feeling the familiar warmth.

Vivi tilted her head, her blue eyes sharp, "Planning to make us wait, were you?" She teased, though her voice held no real reprimand.

Orion smirked, "Only to keep you on your toes."

Tatsumaki huffed, floating a little off the ground, "Well, now that we've rescued you from these two," she gestured at Luna and Aurora, "let's get going."

Orion laughed, feeling the day's stress wash away. "You know, I think they were about to keep me here if you didn't show up." He teased.

Winry squeezed his hand, her blue eyes soft, "We'd never let that happen."

Orion started to walk away with his girlfriends. Afraid to look back at his sisters, he knew if he did, he would feel a pang of melancholy. But he also had to divide his time with his girlfriends. Every moment was a delicate balance, a dance of emotions and connections.

As they stepped out of the school gates, the bustling streets of the city greeted them. The warm afternoon light bathed the group, and the gentle breeze carried hints of the upcoming evening's freshness. With Hinata on one side and Winry on the other, Orion looked around for a secluded spot away from the prying eyes of the world.

"How about that place?" Hinata whispered, pointing to a quaint little café tucked away in an alley.

Orion grinned, recognizing it. "The Hidden Nook? Good choice."

Vivi chuckled, "I remember the last time we were there; you nearly toppled that tower of dessert plates."

Orion smirked, "In my defense, Mikasa dared me to balance them."

Tatsumaki rolled her eyes, floating a bit higher. "Typical. Why am I not surprised?"

They reached the entrance, and Orion held the door open, allowing the girls to enter first. Inside, the café had dim lighting and cozy corners that provided the perfect atmosphere for an intimate gathering. They settled into a large booth at the back, away from the main seating area.

While looking at the menu, Winry mumbled, "Their milkshakes here are divine."

Hinata nodded, "I'll get the strawberry one."

Orion leaned closer to Winry, teasing, "Planning to share?"

Winry blushed a shade of pink that rivaled her milkshake-to-be. "Maybe, if you ask nicely."

Tatsumaki, ever the firecracker, chimed in, "Hurry up and order. I'm starving."

Orion chuckled, "Always so impatient." He winked at her, "How about I treat you to your favorite cheesecake?"

Tatsumaki huffed but mumbled, "Fine, but only if it's the raspberry swirl."

The café buzzed with quiet conversations, and the smell of roasted coffee wafted in the air. From the large booth at the back, Orion and his girlfriends were an intimate cocoon in their own world. At the moment, Tatsumaki sat next to him, her petite figure nestled comfortably against his side. Her green hair fanned over his arm, and her eyes were half-closed in contentment. She murmured something in his ear, her lips brushing his skin. Orion responded by gently squeezing her hand and planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

While they enjoyed their moment of closeness, Hinata, Winry, and Vivi chatted among themselves. "So, Vivi, how's that new project of yours coming along?" Winry inquired, her voice reflecting genuine interest.

Vivi sighed, pushing a strand of blue hair behind her ear. "It's been challenging. But I think the final results will be worth it."

Hinata nodded, her blue eyes thoughtful. "I've always admired your determination, Vivi. It's inspiring."

Vivi chuckled, "Thanks, Hinata. It's just my nature, I guess."

As they continued discussing, Tatsumaki whispered something cheeky into Orion's ear. He raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Trying to make me blush? You'll need to try harder." In response, Tatsumaki playfully nipped his ear, causing a surprised chuckle from him. Remembering his life's mantra, he decided to double back, turning her face toward him and capturing her lips in a soft, lingering kiss.

Tatsumaki pulled away with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Who said anything about making you blush? I was just reminding you of something."

Orion responded with a mock-serious tone, "Oh, I see. Well, consider the message received."

Soon, Winry replaced Tatsumaki, settling next to Orion. The mechanic leaned her head on his shoulder, their fingers intertwining effortlessly. She sighed contentedly, the weight of her day lifting as she whispered into his ear, "You know, these moments with you are my favorite part of any day."

He smiled warmly at her, responding, "And for me, these moments with you girls are what make everything worthwhile." To emphasize his point, he gently kissed the back of her hand.

Vivi, Hinata, and Tatsumaki were now discussing the latest trends in fashion. "I've never understood the appeal of high heels," Hinata mused.

Tatsumaki, hovering slightly, smirked. "That's because you're already tall."

Hinata playfully swatted at her, while Vivi laughed, "I think they're elegant. But not very practical."

Tatsumaki leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, I wear them to feel taller. Not all of us are blessed with Hinata's height."

Winry, turning her attention to their conversation momentarily, chimed in, "I just wear whatever feels comfortable. And for me, that's usually boots." She looked up at Orion, a hint of a challenge in her eyes. "What do you think? Do you prefer me in boots or heels?"

Orion pondered for a moment, tapping his chin playfully, then whispered something in Winry's ear, causing her cheeks to turn a deep shade of pink.

Hinata's turn beside Orion was filled with gentle touches and soft words. Her voice, usually strong and assertive, became a gentle murmur when she was with him. "Did you finish that book I lent you?"

Orion nodded, whispering back, "Yes, and it was a great read. You always have the best recommendations." He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his eyes searching hers. Their intimacy was tender and warm, like two pieces of a puzzle fitting perfectly together.

Vivi and Winry were discussing a recent movie while Tatsumaki interjected her opinions animatedly. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, covering various topics ranging from movies to books to personal experiences.

Lastly, Vivi took her turn beside Orion. Their relationship was electric, filled with teasing and playful banter. Vivi leaned in, her lips brushing his ear as she whispered, "You do realize you owe me a dance, right?"

Orion placed a kiss on Vivi's lips, then rose from the booth, extending his hand out to her. "How about now?"

Vivi giggled, taking his hand. The dim lights of the café seemed to glow brighter as he led her to an open space. They began to move in rhythm with the soft instrumental music playing in the background. Vivi's laughter echoed softly as Orion spun her around and pulled her close.

Hinata leaned over to Winry, muttering, "It's like watching a scene straight out of a romantic movie."

Tatsumaki couldn't help but mumble, "They do have chemistry."

Orion whispered into Vivi's ear, "You know, if you're trying to make me lose my step, you'll have to do better than that." With a smirk, he twirled her again, this time letting her spin for a moment before catching her in his arms. Their eyes locked, and without breaking the gaze, Orion dipped her backward, brushing a soft kiss against her neck.

Vivi, her face flushed, whispered back with a challenging glint in her eyes, "Was that an invitation for a challenge?"

Before Orion could answer, Winry teased from the booth, "Are you two going to dance the entire night or give the rest of us a chance?"

Orion shot her a playful wink. "Patience." Drawing Vivi back up from the dip, they gracefully ended their dance with a deep kiss.

As Vivi returned to the booth, Tatsumaki, ever the bold one, floated over to Orion. "Think you can handle dancing with someone who can fly?" she teased.

Orion smirked, "There's a first time for everything."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, hovering slightly above the ground. They swayed, her petite frame close to his. Their dance was a mix of traditional steps and playful improvisation. At one point, Orion lifted Tatsumaki, letting her float just above him before pulling her down into a tight embrace. Their lips met in a fiery kiss that left the others in awe.

Tatsumaki whispered against his ear, "See, I told you dancing with me would be an experience."

His voice was husky as he murmured back, "One I wouldn't trade for the world."

As their dance came to a close, Hinata approached. She held a sense of grace, her tall figure casting a confident silhouette. "Care to dance with someone who doesn't need to fly or challenge your every move?"

Orion chuckled, pulling her close, "I think I can manage."

With Hinata, their dance was more serene, flowing like a gentle river. She rested her head on his shoulder, their bodies moving effortlessly in sync. Their touches were tender, fingers brushing against each other's skin. As they spun, Orion leaned down, capturing her lips in a soft, lingering kiss.

Hinata's voice was barely audible as she mumbled against his lips, "I love dancing with you."

Orion smiled, tightening his grip around her waist, "And I with you."

Winry, watching the intimate dance from the booth, sighed and whispered to Vivi, "It's almost like they're in their own world."

Vivi nodded, her eyes following the couple. "But soon, it'll be your turn to enter that world."

And indeed, as Hinata returned to her seat, Orion extended a hand to Winry, his eyes teasing. "Ready to show them how it's really done?"

Winry grinned, taking his hand. Their dance was passionate and energetic, reflective of their fiery personalities. Orion spun her out and then back into his embrace, his hand resting at the small of her back. Their lips met, and they lost themselves in the moment.

Their dance concluded with a deep, soulful kiss, leaving both breathless. As they separated, Orion looked around at the other patrons of the café who were now watching them with wide eyes and clapping. He laughed, taking a bow and motioning for his girlfriends to join him.
