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

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and Orion and the girls in his class made their way back to their classroom. Their spirits were high from the shared meal, and they chatted animatedly as they walked down the halls. They entered the classroom, finding their seats and preparing for the next class: Art with Otohime.

Otohime, a mermaid teacher with a kind heart and a penchant for eccentricity, greeted the students with a wide smile as she swam gracefully through the air. "Good afternoon, everyone! Today, we'll be exploring the wonderful world of emotions through art."

Her eyes sparkled with passion as she launched into a speech praising the power of art and emotions. "Art is the purest form of self-expression, a way to capture the essence of our souls and share it with the world. Through art, we can convey the depths of our feelings, the heights of our joys, and the shadows of our sorrows. Emotions are the very core of our existence, the driving force behind everything we do. They shape our lives and determine our paths, and it is through art that we can truly embrace them."

She paused for a moment, taking in the rapt attention of her students. "When we create art, we open ourselves up to the world, allowing others a glimpse into our innermost thoughts and feelings. It is a beautiful, vulnerable act, one that requires courage and strength."

Otohime clapped her hands together, her excitement contagious. "Now, let's dive into the world of emotions together! I will pair you up with a partner, and you will each choose an emotion to portray on the other's face. Then, you will take turns drawing your partner's chosen emotion."

She began to pair up the students, making sure to keep the sisters together. Orion found himself paired with Vivi. The other pairs were Hinata Hyuga and Yachiru Kusajishi, Orihime Inoue and Levy McGarden, Winry Rockbell and Mikasa Ackerman, Ririchiyo Shirakiin and Saeko Busujima, Yuuki Asuna and Mizore Shirayuki, Alice Nakiri and Morgiana, Lucy Heartfilia and Akeno Himejima, Nezuko and Tatsumaki, and finally, Aurora and Luna.

Orion looked at Vivi, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he decided on the emotion he would portray: greed. He arched an eyebrow and gave her a sly grin, trying to channel the essence of avarice into his expression. Vivi, on the other hand, seemed to be taking her time in choosing an emotion. After a few moments of shy glances around the room, she finally settled on an emotion that surprised Orion: lust.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in intrigue, the corners of his lips twitching upwards. "You've chosen quite an interesting emotion, Vivi. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with it."

Vivi blushed, but her eyes sparkled with determination. "I may not be used to portraying emotions like this, but I want to challenge myself and see what I can create. I hope you're ready, Orion."

Orion gave her a playful smirk. "I'm always ready for a challenge. Let's see if you can make me blush."

Vivi hesitated for a moment, contemplating her approach. Then, she seemed to find her resolve, her expression shifting into one of sultry confidence. Her eyes locked onto Orion's, her gaze intense and unwavering, as she allowed the emotion of lust to fill her features.

Orion, unflustered by her gaze, studied her face carefully, taking in every detail of her expression. His hand moved across the paper, skillfully capturing the nuances of her chosen emotion. As he drew, his thoughts wandered, reflecting on how she had stepped out of her comfort zone for this assignment.

It's impressive how she's embracing the challenge, he mused, his hand continuing to glide across the paper. Not many people would have the courage to try something like this. She's definitely got my respect.

Vivi, meanwhile, was doing her best to maintain her lustful expression, though she couldn't help but sneak glances at Orion's drawing. She bit her lip nervously, wondering if she was doing a good job of portraying the emotion.

Once they finished their drawings, they took a moment to admire each other's work. Vivi's eyes widened in amazement as she looked at the drawing of herself. "Wow, Orion, this is incredible! You really captured the emotion I was going for."

Orion chuckled, feeling a sense of pride at her praise. "Thank you, Vivi. I have to say, you did an amazing job portraying lust. Now, let's see how you did with my emotion."

He took a look at her drawing of him, his eyes widening in surprise. She had managed to capture the essence of greed perfectly, the intensity of his gaze and the sly curve of his lips bringing the emotion to life on the page.

Orion looked at both pictures, smirking as an idea formed in his mind. He leaned over to Vivi's ear, his breath brushing against her neck as he whispered throatily, "Can we say that your lust was due to seeing my face, and my greed was due to your lusty face?"

Vivi's cheeks flushed a deep crimson, her eyes darting back and forth as she stuttered out an answer. "I-I... um, w-well, I guess... t-that's one way to, um, interpret it..."

Orion's smirk only grew, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, come now, Vivi. Don't be shy about it. After all, we're just exploring emotions through art, aren't we?"

Vivi swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. "Y-yes, of course," she stammered, trying to regain her composure. "It's just... I didn't expect you to be so, um, forward about it."

"Life's too short to be coy, Vivi," Orion replied smoothly, his voice low and sultry. "And I must say, I'm quite impressed with your ability to step out of your comfort zone. It takes a lot of courage to portray an emotion like that, especially in front of someone you might find... attractive."

Vivi's blush deepened, her eyes widening in surprise at his words. "Y-you think I find you attractive?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Orion chuckled, his eyes never leaving hers. "Well, you did choose lust as your emotion, didn't you? It's only natural to assume that there might be a reason for it."

Vivi tried to protest, but her voice caught in her throat, leaving her unable to form a coherent response. She could feel the heat radiating from Orion's body as he leaned even closer, his breath tickling her skin.

"Now, Vivi," Orion murmured, his voice dripping with charm, "there's no need to be embarrassed. It's perfectly normal to feel attracted to someone, especially when they're as handsome as I am."

Vivi's mind raced, her thoughts a jumble of emotions and uncertainty. She couldn't deny that she found Orion attractive, but she had never expected him to be so open about it, let alone flirt with her so unabashedly.

And yet, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him, intrigued by his confidence and charisma. She knew that he was a notorious golden boy, that he was likely just teasing her for his own amusement, but a small part of her couldn't help but hope that there might be something more to his advances.

As she struggled to find her voice, Orion continued to press forward, his words a seductive caress that sent shivers down her spine. "You know, Vivi, there's no shame in admitting your feelings. In fact, I find it rather endearing."

Vivi finally managed to find her voice, her heart pounding in her chest. "I... I don't know what to say, Orion. I've never had anyone speak to me like this before."

Orion's eyes sparkled with warmth and understanding. "That's perfectly alright, Vivi. Just remember that it's okay to be open about your emotions, even if they might be a little... unconventional."

With that, he leaned back, giving her a wink as he returned to his seat. Vivi's cheeks were still flushed, her heart racing as she tried to process everything that had just happened. She couldn't deny that Orion's words had left her flustered, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience.

For the first time, she felt as though she was truly being seen, that her feelings and desires were valid and worthy of acknowledgment. It was a thrilling, empowering sensation, one that left her both excited and terrified in equal measure.

As the class came to an end and the students began to pack up their belongings, Orion couldn't help but reflect on his behavior. It was true that he enjoyed flirting and teasing others, but he also knew that he wouldn't have gone so far if it hadn't been for Vivi's bold choice of emotion. His life motto was to pay back in double, whether insult or praise, slap or hug. If Vivi had wanted to make him blush by donning that sultry, lusty face, then it was a game that two could play.

Despite his outward bravado, however, Orion couldn't help but wonder if he had taken things too far. He knew that Vivi was a sensitive, vulnerable person, and he couldn't bear the thought of having hurt her feelings. As he walked home with Aurora and Luna, he made a mental note to apologize to Vivi the next day if she seemed upset or uncomfortable.

That evening, Orion, Aurora, and Luna gathered around the dinner table with their mothers, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed a delicious meal. Their mothers, always attentive and loving, asked about their day, and the three of them shared stories of their art class and Otohime's eccentric teaching methods.

Orion couldn't help but smile as he recounted the story of the emotional exercise, carefully omitting the more intimate details of his interaction with Vivi. He knew that his mothers would disapprove of such behavior, and he didn't want to cause them any worry or concern.

After dinner, the family spent some time together, talking and laughing late into the evening. As the night wore on, they said their goodnights, each of them retreating to their respective bedrooms for a well-deserved rest.

As Orion lay in bed, his thoughts drifted back to Vivi and the events of the day. He couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of pride and guilt, wondering if he had crossed a line in his pursuit of playful retaliation. He resolved to be more considerate in the future, to ensure that his actions were always guided by kindness and respect.

With that thought in mind, Orion closed his eyes, allowing the soothing embrace of sleep to carry him away into the realm of dreams.
