Orion - Prince of Aquaria - Sun End

Chapter 7 - Cold Cheek

(Huh... I.) 

When I slowly opened my eyes, there was Orion-san looking at me with a pale face. 

Orion: MC! Hey, she's awake!

Orion-san frantically called out to someone. 

MC: Um, I...? 

(My head feels like it's splitting, it hurts.) 

Doctor: You went outside of the bubble without having the ability. If it weren't for Orion-sama lending you his strength... You would've been dead in just a short moment. 

(Lent me his strength?) 

Doctor: Now then, Orion-sama, she seems to be okay now. Please rest. You drew out blood from your own body... At this rate, your life will be... 

(Orion-san... There are some bandages around his neck!? What happened...) 

Orion: Don't worry about me. I'm staying with her...

Doctor: Orion-sama!

As Orion-san's body leaned over, he fell near the side of the bed. 

MC: Orion-san... 

When I reached out to him... I became surprised from touching his cold cheek. 

(He's really cold. Why? Orion-san...) 

Hsi skin that was cold as ice made my heart froze... 

Chapter 8 - Sweet Heartthrob... 

-Flashback-

Doctor: If it weren't for Orion-sama lending you his strength... You would've been dead in just a short moment. 

-Flashback-

3 days later... I was watching over Orion-san as he was asleep. 

(Orion-san, I'm sorry.) 

While holding the necklace that was placed near my pillow when I woke up, I gently touched Orion-san's hand.

-Flashback-

MC: What happened...? 

Astounded by Orion-san getting injured, I asked the doctor that. 

---

Orion: But, if you want to get the ability to return to land... You'll need to make a strong connection with someone from the undersea. You'll need to have a child. 

---

MC: I heard that to leave the bubble, I need to have a child with someone from the undersea. 

Doctor: ...There's one more way. You can gain the ability by bathing in a large amount of a sea person's blood... 

MC: ...!

-Flashback-

(He did that for me... I'm so sorry, Orion-san.) 

MC: ...!

(His hand!) 

When Orion-san's fingers slightly moved, I got up from the chair. 

MC: Orion-san... 

When his brow slightly furrowed from my voice, Orion-san opened his eyes. 

Orion: MC... 

MC: Thank goodness! I'll go call the doctor now.

Just as I was about to leave in a hurry, Orion-san pulled my hand. 

Orion: It's fine. More importantly... There's something I want to ask. Was it an accident? Or... were you trying to leave? 

MC: ...

Orion: Why did you go outside of the bubble? 

(I need to apologize to him properly.) 

I took a deep breath. 

MC: ...I wasn't thinking. The necklace got carried away by the waves and went outside of the bubble. I went after it without thinking... and before I knew it... 

Orion: ...That's it? You weren't trying to run away from me? 

MC: That's...

(I did think about running away. I need to... tell him that honestly.) 

As I looked at Orion-san in the eye, I slowly nodded. 

Orion: ...Why? Up till now, I got everything I've ever wanted. Things... Even women, everything. Why do you want to run away? How can I make you mine? Why isn't everything going as I thought it would!? 

(His complexion is getting more...!

Orion: ...I love you. Even if your heart doesn't think of me that way... I want you to stay by my side. I won't be able to take it if you leave me. 

Those honest words made my heart throb sweetly. 

MC: Orion-san, please... 

Just as Orion-san was turning even more pale... 

Orion: ...

Orion-san suddenly coughed roughly. 

MC: I'm going to call the doctor now!

Orion: No. The doctor will surely give me medicine that'll put me to sleep. You might disappear again while I'm asleep. 

MC: I won't disappear. Until you wake up, I'll stay by your side. 

When I told him that frantically, Orion-san looked at me in the eye. Then, when he reached out and pulled my hand, he fell asleep while holding it... 

Chapter 9 - The Lonely Prince

...

That night... 

Orion: MC...? 

When Orion woke up, he looked around in a panic. 

Orion: Did she really... leave? 

When he saw MC sleeping in a chair next to the bed, he smiled softly. Just as he was about to kiss her on the eyelid... He stopped moving. After he looked at her for a while... 

Orion: Sorry...

When Orion said that softly, he slowly got up and left the room. 

...

(Huh... Just now, who...) 

When I woke up from a sound, Orion-san that was supposed to be sleeping was gone. 

MC: Oh, no...!

I ran into the hallway in a panic. 

Orion: It's about MC. 

Just as I left the room, there was Orion-san talking to the doctor in a corner of the hallway. 

Orion: She said that she wanted to run away. Yet, I want her to stay with me. If I do that... She'll be uneasy from being with me. 

(Orion-san...) 

Orion-san's painful sounding voice made my chest tighten. Bubbles silently rose up within the heartrending atmosphere from my lips... 

Last Chapter - The Bright Sunset in the Deep Sea

The next day... 

MC: Eh...? 

As I was visiting the patient's room that Orion-san was in, I widened my eyes. 

Orion: I said that you can go back home. You already have the ability to go back to land. 

The room's view of the beautiful sparkling colors of the waves reflecting suddenly disappeared. 

MC: ...Orion-san. 

Orion: It's my fault that you almost died. You may have lost consciousness, but... That was really close. By the time I went after you, your heart stopped... It was a situation where I had to give you the ability immediately. Before I knew it, I cut my own throat and gave my blood to you. 

MC: ...

Orion: Now, you know. If you disappeared... My life would have no meaning. If there were a chance that you end up in a dangerous situation because you wanted to get away from me... I would never forgive myself. So... Go back. 

MC: Orion-san...

The seashell necklace below my neck made a jingling sound. 

-Flashback-

Orion: It's a miracle for me to have met someone that I love from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to have any regrets. No matter what... I must have you. 

-Flashback-

(Orion-san...) 

Orion-san's eyes narrowed bitterly. As my chest couldn't help, but tighten... I softly hugged Orion-san before I knew it. 

Orion: MC...? 

MC: I-I'm sorry... I... 

Just as I was about to run off in a panic... 

Orion-san strongly grabbed my hand from behind. 

Orion: Was that... what they call having a little bit of hope? 

(I don't know about that. But, I still don't want to go back. Because I still haven't thanked him properly. I haven't even apologized. Even though I want to say it properly, my heart hurts...) 

As I was unable to respond, Orion-san pulled my hand and embraced me. 

Orion: Can I... touch you...? Once I do, I won't be able to hold back... 

With my heart being loud, I couldn't respond. Then, he suddenly held me by the waist... Orion-san's finger slowly traced my lips. 

MC: ...

When I felt a sweet tingle from his fingers touching me and closed my eyes, Orion-san's face slowly got closer. 

Orion: MC... 

When he said my name very affectionately, I slowly closed my eyes. 

MC: ...

Orion-san's tongue went in between the gap of my lips. It was a deep kiss that was different from the other ones... The sweet gentle kiss filled my heart with a warm light. 

MC: Thank you... for saving me. 

I somehow told him that hoarsely. 

MC: Also... I'm sor-

Before I could finish, Orion-san placed his lips on mine again. 

MC: Mm... 

As Orion-san gently caressed my hair, his strong arms held my waist. 

Orion: MC... I don't need anything else, but you. Stay... by my side...

Not letting me breathe, he gave me a long kiss repeatedly. My body became filled with this indescribable blissful feeling... 

(Ah, I. I love... Orion-san.) 

When my body was suddenly picked up, I was lightly placed down on the bed. 

Orion: ...Stay by my side. 

MC: Orion-san... 

Orion-san placed his hand on the ribbon around my chest. 

MC: ...

Feeling embarrassed, I was about to push his hand away, but... 

MC: Mm... 

He grabbed my hand and gave me a deep kiss. 

Orion: MC...

His hot breath made me unable to do anything else, but devote myself to him. 

(It's embarrassing... But. I can't resist.) 

Then, just as I was stripped down... 

Orion: ...

A jingling sound made Orion-san break into a gentle smile. 

MC: Ah... 

It was the orange seashell necklace that could blend in with the sunset. He lovingly placed a kiss on my chest. 

MC: ... 

As Orion-san placed kisses on my entire body... As if we were being blessed for finally getting our feelings through to each other, the seashells made soft jingling sounds...
