Orion couldn't help but let his grin linger from his "wet" adventure with Winry as he moved on to the bumper cars with Saeko. She slid into the car next to him, her eyes glowing with a competitive fire. Saeko's hand settled onto his arm, her fingers casually tracing its contours as if sizing up her opponent.

"So, you think you can handle some bumps?" Saeko's voice was a cocktail of curiosity and challenge, tinged with a seductive undertone.

"If that's an invitation, I don't back down," Orion chuckled, flexing his fingers around the steering wheel.

Saeko's fingers continued their journey up and down his arm, pausing deliberately at his bicep. "Mmm, nice muscle tone. You work out?"

"Seizing my capabilities?" Orion teased, enjoying her blatant attempt at distraction.

She leaned closer, her lips dangerously near his ear. "Maybe I just like what I feel."

The buzzer sounded, pulling them from their flirtatious standoff. Orion gunned the electric pedal, steering them into the controlled chaos of the bumper car arena. Each bump against Levy's or Yuuki's car brought a ripple of laughter from Saeko, each near-miss with Hinata or Mikasa was accompanied by a mock gasp.

"Watch out for Luna over there. She's getting aggressive," Saeko warned, her eyes gleaming as she spotted their friend heading their way.

Orion swerved just in time, narrowly avoiding Luna's bumper. Saeko's laugh was like music, invigorating and infectious. Her body swayed in sync with the bumps and jolts, always maintaining that teasing contact with his arm.

As Orion managed a skillful bump against Alice's car, Saeko's grip tightened on his arm, her voice a whisper, "How about we make this interesting?"

"You have my attention," Orion glanced at her, intrigued.

She then leaned into his ear, her breath tingling the sensitive skin. "I am competitive, Orion," she whispered. "If you retaliate against anyone who dares to bump into us, you'll be rewarded."

Orion turned his head to face her; their lips now barely an inch apart. "I like rewards," he said, their breaths mingling.

"Starting with a kiss, we'll tally the numbers and see where it leads," Saeko continued, her eyes locked onto his.

Orion chuckled, "Deal."

The instant the words left his mouth, a bump from Ririchiyo's car jostled them. "Ah, our first victim," he grinned, shooting Saeko a wink as he deftly steered their car into pursuit.

Saeko clung onto his muscular arm, her fingers lightly stroking up and down, as though guiding his revenge. "Go get her," she urged, her voice a teasing challenge.

Orion accelerated, his eyes narrowing as he aimed for the bumper of Ririchiyo's car. With a victorious thud, they made contact, sending her car spinning slightly off course.

"That's one," Saeko cooed, leaning over and sealing her promise with a quick, electric kiss on his lips. The moment was brief but charged, fuel for the fire of their playful competition.

"And now for Levy," Orion muttered under his breath, spotting her car across the arena. His foot pressed hard on the electric pedal; their bumper car surged forward. Saeko's touch became more deliberate, her thumb circling the inside of his elbow as if to say, 'This is getting interesting.'

Collision. Levy's eyes met Orion's for just a second, a mix of amusement and mock annoyance in her gaze.

Saeko's laugh was like honey to Orion's ears as she leaned in for the second kiss, this one a bit slower, lingering on his lips just long enough to make him want more. "I could get used to this," he mumbled, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Oh, we're just getting started," Saeko's voice was sultry, and her fingers seemed to agree, caressing his forearm as if tracing an invisible roadmap of desire and strategy.

His eyes caught Morgiana attempting to team up with Hinata for a double bump on their car. "Two against one? Not fair," he smirked.

"Don't just stand there, show them what we've got!" Saeko urged, her eyes widening, her grip on his arm intensifying.

Orion revved the car's throttle, veering sharply and dodging the duo's attack. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he executed a perfect counter-bump on Morgiana's car, ricocheting from there to Hinata's in a masterful move that even amazed Saeko.

"Wow, now that's how you handle two birds with one stone," Saeko exclaimed, her fingers sliding along his forearm in appreciative delight. Her nails lightly grazed his skin, sending tingles up his spine.

"Your tactical touch seems to be my good luck charm," Orion said, grinning as he noticed Saeko's fingers flex around his arm.

Saeko leaned in, locking her eyes with his. "And what's my reward for being such a charm?" Her voice was dripping with playful curiosity.

Orion didn't need a second invitation. He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, reveling in the electrifying contact. "Consider that a down payment," he whispered, pulling away just enough to see her eyes light up.

"That's a promising start," Saeko quipped, her hand caressing his cheek briefly before returning to its perch on his arm.

Orion's eyes flicked to the arena. He spotted Yuuki and Levy teaming up for a charge. "Incoming," he muttered, tension tightening his grip on the wheel.

Saeko's fingers tightened around his arm as if accepting the challenge. "I hope you've got a plan," she said, her eyes scanning the movement of the cars.

"Always do," Orion assured. He floored the pedal once again, aligning the car perfectly to intercept the incoming duo. As they got closer, he twisted the wheel hard, not only dodging their combined bump but also setting them up for a collision with each other.

The arena filled with Saeko's delightful laughter. "You really know how to turn the tables," she remarked, pulling him in for another deep kiss. Her lips were addictive, and he could sense her enthusiasm heightening with each point they scored.

A new target caught his eye—Aurora, drifting dangerously close to them. "Ready for the next one?" Orion murmured, a teasing tone underscoring his words.

"Always," Saeko responded, her fingers now tracing intricate circles on his arm, as if casting a spell for their next victory.

Orion zoomed in on Aurora, steering with the precision of a hawk diving for its prey. At the last second, he turned the wheel, bumping into her car and sending her veering toward a group of students.

Saeko clapped her hands together gleefully. "Oh, you're really racking up the rewards now," she said, before fulfilling her promise with a lingering kiss that made his head spin.

"I think you're enjoying this as much as I am," Orion said, catching his breath as their lips parted. The warm thrill of her touch still buzzed on his skin, filling him with a mix of adrenaline and desire.

"Maybe more," Saeko shot back, her eyes reflecting the arena lights like twin stars.

Orion looked around, searching for their next target. "Last round. Shall we finish with a bang?"

Saeko's eyes met his, alight with competitive spirit and playful desire. "Make it spectacular," she urged.

He needed no further encouragement. Spotting a cluster of their friends—Alice, Luna, and Mikasa—he revved the car and charged. With a flick of his wrist, he managed a triple bump, causing a chain reaction that disrupted their formation.

Saeko erupted into cheers, her arms going around his neck as she pulled him into a triumphant, passionate kiss. The buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the round, but in that moment, they were in a world of their own—victorious and utterly enthralled by each other.

"So, how did we tally up?" Orion asked, his eyes searching hers.

"Let's just say you've earned a reward too big to cash in here," Saeko winked, her voice sultry.

Orion chuckled, his hand finding hers and giving it a gentle squeeze. "Then I look forward to collecting," he said, his voice tinged with the same mix of playfulness and promise that had fueled their competitive, electrifying ride.
