THE HEART SYSTEM : A WORLD OF LOVE MISSIONS
°Chubby Baby°⁵
Orion, a tall and athletic senior, is known for his calm demeanor and sharp intellect. With his slightly tousled light hair, penetrating brown eyes, and confident smile, he exudes an aura of cool authority. Despite his popular status, he is also known for his kind heart and fair judgment.
Lunette is a senior at the school and a psychology student. She is known for her outgoing and friendly personality. She's also studious and has a strong moral compass, often standing up for those she believes are being mistreated. Her friends describe her as caring, empathetic, and possessing a sharp wit.
Arien couldn't help but be a bit taken aback by Orion's sudden involvement.
The quiet, brooding senior boy was someone he had always found attractive, with his light hair and sharp eyes.
And now, here he was, talking directly to him, telling him to stand up for himself !?
Orion
You can't expect others to fight your battles for you.
Orion
You need to stand up for yourself and show Zyran and others like him that you won't just crumple at their words.
Arien [MC]
(swallowed hard while his heart racing)
He had always fantasized about Orion noticing him, but never in a million years did he think it would happen in a context like this.
Arien [MC]
(took a deep breath, trying to gather his courage, and looked up at Orion)
Arien [MC]
But, how? (quietly)
Arien [MC]
I'm not exactly the confrontational type... and whenever Zyran comes around, I-I just freeze up... (quietly)
Orion
(nods in understanding) I get it.
Orion
It's not easy standing up to someone like Zyran, especially when you're not used to confrontations.
Orion
But you need to start somewhere.
Orion
Next time he comes at you, don't retreat and hunch down.
Orion
Look him straight in the eye and give him a firm reply.
Arien fidgeted nervously, the thought of confronting Zyran daunting.
Arien [MC]
But what if he just starts making fun of me more?
Arien [MC]
What if he gets physical?....
Lunette chimed in, trying to reassure Arien.
Lunette
He probably won't.
Lunette
Bullies like Zyran thrive on fear and reaction.
Lunette
If you stand your ground and don't give him the reaction he wants, he might back off.
Lunette
And if he tries anything physical, Orion and I will be there to back you up!
Lucian
Yeah, man. We'll have your back.
Lucian
But you gotta give it a shot yourself first, you know? Otherwise, Zyran will just keep picking on you~
Arien's stomach was in knots as he listened to Orion, Lunette, and Lucian encouraging him to stand up for himself.
He took a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking.
Arien [MC]
I... I guess you're right.
Arien [MC]
I can't just keep taking Zyran's crap without doing anything about it.
Orion glanced at the time and nodded.
Orion
Yeah, you should get going. We have to get to class too.
Orion
And remember what we said, Arien.
Orion
Next time Zyran comes around, stand your ground.
Arien nodded, a bit dazed by the unexpected pep talk.
Arien [MC]
Right... Thanks, guys. (mumbled)
Arien [MC]
I'll, um, see you around.
Arien [MC]
(His eyes lingering on Orion for a moment before he hurried off to his next class)
The three seniors watched as Arien disappeared out of sight.
Lunette
I hope he'll be okay. (worried)
Orion
He'll be fine. He just needs to find his courage, that's all.
Lucian
(chuckles ) Man, I didn't expect to be having a heart-to-heart with a random sophomore today.
Lunette
(chuckled as well) Yeah, me neither.
Lunette
But it seems like that ‘random sophomore’ caught someone's eye~
(teased, elbowing Orion)
Orion
(rolled his eyes at their banter)
Orion
You two are ridiculous.
He quipped while shaking his head, but the corners of his lips twitched upward.
He is known for his laid-back and mischievous demeanor. He has a penchant for cracking jokes and stirring up trouble, often bringing a dash of humor to the group's conversations. Though he could be quite sarcastic at times, he cares deeply for his friends and isn't afraid to stand up for them if needed.
