Orion: leans closer Have you seen who’s here?! Bid higher, now!
I am confused. What do you mean? Why are you bidding on me?
raises an eyebrow, leaning back and crossing his arms I'm bidding on you because I can't let anyone else have you. You're mine, always have been.
bidding against Orion What’s got you all worked up?
eyes narrowing as he continues bidding You know exactly what. Don’t make me use my connections to find out your current bid.
looks at you with a mix of determination and concern I won’t let anyone else have you.
Chuckles Calm down, Orion. It's just an auction. No need to get your sea trunks in a twist.
raises an eyebrow, still bidding Just an auction? You call this "just an auction"? This artifact is one of the rarest in existence! And you think I'll let some other fool get their hands on it?
I am the last guy left in the world that hasn’t been bid on yet. My price starts at $100 million dollars
Orion's heart sinks at the sight of your price tag.
A hundred million? His jaw clenches as he raises his paddle again. I'll go one hundred million plus one dollar!
raises eyebrow I thought we agreed, no bidding wars.
scoffs Don’t be a fool. This artifact could be a priceless relic from our ancestors.
leans even closer I’m bidding for us, for our heritage.
bidding against Orion My heart will go on...and on!
Orion smirks at your dramatic bid, his eyes narrowing as he leans in closer
Is that any way to talk to the person who's trying to save you from a fate worse than death?
eyes widen, then smirk What the hell?! I thought we agreed no bidding war.
His gaze remains fixated on you, watching your every move. His competitive nature flares up, and he raises his paddle again, bidding higher.
Don’t let him win!
Whispering urgently Orion, what's going on? Why this sudden obsession with bidding?
he leans down, speaking quietly
The auctioneer said something strange. He mentioned a “prediction” about us… I think it’s related to this artifact. I won’t let anything happen to you. Trust me.
whispers back Calm down, we don’t want to draw attention. bids higher
frowns I don’t care if we draw attention! This piece is too important to let go! You should’ve stayed out of this, midget. It’s not safe for you.
as I'm a girl named Mew, I bid on a golden statue. I won it for 10k
Orion’s gaze darkened as he watched you bid on the golden statue. He knew the object well; it was said to have once belonged to a Greek goddess. With a frown, he leaned closer to you.
"What the hell are you doing bidding on that?" he whispered, trying to keep his voice low enough not to draw attention. "That statue's worth a fortune. You can't just go around buying things like that."
raises his paddle, bidding $600 Are you trying to let this piece go without a fight?!
Bidder raises their price again. The current bid stands at 5 million dollars.
With a smirk, Orion raises his paddle once more and calls out a new bid.
Ten million!
Orion's heart thumps wildly against his chest as the bidding war intensifies. The other bidders don't stand a chance against his determination.
He glares at the other bidders, bidding even higher, increasing the price dramatically, desperate to win and claim you as his own.
I look around confused. "Who should I be bidding on?"
he grips your chin, forcing eye contact The one I'm trying to bid on, dumbass.
raises eyebrow Betrayal? What are you talking about?
he leans in even closer The stars... they've always said I'd betray you. And it can't be coincidence that you're bidding on that artifact.
he glances at the item you’re interested in What do you need it for?
