Chapter 10:
"Seriously, I HATE you guys right now!" Orion repeated once again to his teammates. "C'mon, man. You look good with dark hair," Soma said trying to reassure him of his new look. "It does make you look more..mature I must admit," Leonard said adjusting his glasses a bit as he was making the group some dinner. "And who knows, a lucky girl like Fyuria may fall for you with your new look," Regis winked as he gave a small grin to his dark haired friend. "But I liked it when it was NATURAL!" Orion whined.
"Man up a bit, will ya?" Soma said as he patted his back. "While we're on this subject..Regis, have you ever thought about love before?" Soma curiously asked his best friend. He felt it was about time Regis got hit with the Cupid's Arrow.
"Why might you ask that?" Regis responded. "Well, the way you look at that girl with the hood today, you sprinted out of class after it rang. – "I did not! That was all of you!" - Don't you..you know, have a crush on the new girl?" Soma mischievously smirked.
Regis then thought about it, he never considered love happening in his life. He was an heir back in Atlas, believing that he'd be pawned off in marriage to an heiress was a possibility, but love? He wasn't sure what to think.
"Hey! I have a good idea. Let's go sneak up on the boys and see what they're up to!" said Fyuria.
That idea scared Elise.
"What!? Why would we do that?" said Elise.
"Oh come on! Don't be such a scaredy cat! I do it all the time, and they never notice!"
She has to be joking.
"Come on, it's late so this is our chance!" said Fyuria as she got up.
"Are you kidding me!? What about security?" Elise was getting more freaked out.
"Pfft! They always fall asleep. Plus we're assassins! We're naturally sneaky and quiet so even if they were awake, they would never find us. Now come on!" She grabbed Elise and dragged her out of the room within seconds.
"You're crazy!" Elise whisper yelled.
"Shh!" Fyuria hushed her. "Follow my lead."
Little did they know, the four men were in their night clothing as three of the four wouldn't have their shirts.
"This is all your fault, Soma!" Orion said as he had Soma under his arm, giving him a noogie. "At least you look better this way. Now the girls can start chasing you and not me, for once," Soma chuckled as he used some judo to knock his friend to the ground, while holding his favorite book to read.
"Come now, Belmont. It's not the end of Remnant yet. Why not give the black hair a test tomorrow?" Leonard in his full body pajama clothes suggested to Orion. "And if you don't like it, you can dye it back to its natural color, deal?" Soma added as he offered his hand. "Deal."
After that, the two began to wrestle more against each other.
Fyuria and Elise had managed to sneak past all of security and reached Team SOLR's bedroom. "Looky here! Just peek through these two holes and just watch 'em," Fyuria whispered.
Holes!?
"Are you kidding me, how could the construction men just leave two open holes here of all places?" Elise whispered back.
Fyuria giggled.
"No silly, I drilled the holes," she whispered.
"What!? How on Remnant did you manage to drill two holes in the wall?" Elise asked in shock.
"Shh, quiet down. Omigodomigodomigod look! They're half naked! I'm gonna get a nose bleed!" Fyuria whisper-yelled.
Elise just covered her face. "What have I gotten myself into?" she whispered to herself.
"Heaven~" Fyuria whispered back, clearly hearing what Elise said.
"Come on, take a peek!" She said. Elise took a deep breath. "Okay..but only one peek, then I am out of here, got it?" Fyuria looked displeased. "Oh please, at least 5 minutes," she pleaded.
Arrg..
Elise slowly peeked through one of the wholes while Fyuria used the other. "Wait who's the dude with the black hair?" Fyuria frowned.
"Regis," Elise rolled her eyes as if it was obvious. "Oh gosh they really are half naked, I can't look," she said, quickly closing her eyes.
"No! The other dude," said Fyuria, trying to get a closer look at him. He had his back turned so they couldn't see his face.
Huh?
Elise opened her eyes to look.
"See? Look, Regis is over there with Soma," Fyuria pointed.
So then...who's the other guy?...Wait..
"Wait a sec, where the hell is Orion?" said Fyuria, as if reading Elise's mind aloud. It was then he finally turned around. Fyuria and Elise's jaws dropped.
"O..my..god! Holy (insert major swear word here)!" Fyuria whisper yelled.
Elise couldn't believe her eyes either.
Did he dye his hair?
"Omigosh he dyed his hair! He looks so frickin' hawt!" Fyuria squealed.
"SHH!" Elise tried to shush her.
But it was too late, they heard her.
Elise shut her eyes tight, waiting for the worst yet to come.
