Chapter 13
The weak morning light coming from outside through the quints' and Fuutarou's hotel room hit the face of a certain girl with very short red hair, making her frown.
Lazily, she started to slowly open her eyes that met the peaceful face of the young tutor, which made her blush and smile. A smile that became a little giggle when she saw that she and her sisters were still clinging on Fuutarou in their sleep.
'We're really quintuplets to think to do the same thing hehe. And also because we fell for the same boy; you're really someone special, Fuutarou-kun.', she thought, gazing at the handsome face of the boy she fell for still 5 years ago.
Precisely, she gazed at his lips, who looked so soft and made her blush. So she slowly leaned forward to kiss him, until she felt a dark aura in front of her.
She opened her eyes and looked up to see a very jealous Miku looking at her with a pout. "Ichika, what were you trying to do?", asked her the Sengoku lover.
"I-I just thought of giving a good morning kiss to Fuutarou-kun.", told her Ichika, smiling.
"Huh?! A good morning kiss?! Don't you dare, Ichika!", exclaimed Nino, who clutched on Fuutarou's arm tighter, causing him to move a little in his sleep.
Itsuki and Yotsuba instead, who were clinging on the young man as well, hugged him tighter.
"Fuutarou-kun hehe.", they said in their sleep, smiling.
"The one t-to kiss Fuutarou will be me!", said Miku suddenly, trying to get closer to her love interest's face to kiss his lips but getting stopped by Nino.
"Oh no you don't! I will give Fuu-kun a good morning kiss!", told her the social butterfly, starting to glare at Miku.
Suddenly, they heard someone yawning. "Miku, Nino, don't fight. You know that I don't like it when you argue.", said Fuutarou, starting to wake up while scratching his eyes.
He them got up a little and saw that Ichika, Nino and Miku were already awake while Yotsuba and Itsuki were still sleeping. "Good morning, girls. It's already morning, huh? Today we have also skiing as activity haha.", he told them, patting their heads and making them smile.
"G-good morning, F-Fuutarou. Did you sleep well last night?", asked a flushed Miku.
"Yeah, I slept well. Even if you 5 s-surprised me when you hugged me in your sleep.", he replied with a little blush, causing her, Nino and Ichika to blush too.
Fuutarou then saw that Yotsuba and Itsuki were still sleeping, so he gently poked their cheeks to wake them up. Both girls slowly opened their eyes, seeing the smiling face of the golden eyes boy, who made them blush.
"Good morning, Yotsuba, Itsuki. We can go to skiing today, remember?", he told them.
"T-that's right! Let's go to have breakfast and then to play with the snow!", quickly replied the bunny ribbon quint with her cheerful energy.
Itsuki, still a little flushed for having seen the handsome face of their tutor as soon she woke up, nodded at the mention of breakfast. And also the other sisters and Fuutarou agreed.
So the young tutor took some clothes from his small luggage and went to change in the bathroom to give privacy to the quints. Even if they didn't mind seeing his attractive upper body another time.
Anyways, the 5 sisters started to change their yukatas with the skiing tracksuit offered by the hotel, and when they were done, also Fuutarou was wearing a blue tracksuit when he got out from toilet.
Ready as they were, the group left their room to go towards the hotel cafeteria to have breakfast, attracting some glances to them. In particular those from some girls who looked at the Nakano sisters with jealousy in the eyes.
'Fufu, they are not happy that Fuutarou-kun passes often the time with me and my sisters. Then I can do this.', thought Ichika while hugging Fuutarou's right arm.
"Let's go, Fuutarou-kun. I want to go skiing together immediately hehe.", she told him, giggling.
"Hey! Don't cling on Fuu-kun so much!", said Nino instead, hugging his other arm.
Pouting, the other quints also clang on the young man, who smiled and sweatdropped at how they were so clingy with him as usual. The other girls gasped instead, feeling the air of defeat surrounding them.
'Guess that I'm really lucky to have these 5 girls so affectionate to him. They're definitely better than "her".', thought Fuutarou, remembering for a moment the girl that played with his feelings but dismissing it immediately. There was no need remember that again.
Now that he had the quints that cared so much for him and showed that their feelings for him were real and genuine, that horrible girl was only a far away memory. Still, since almost of them invited him to the bonfire dance, and he was sure that Yotsuba would do the same, Fuutarou had still to take a decision what to do.
Of course he wouldn't say no and hurt their feelings, but it wasn't that easy for him now taking a decision. Fortunately he had all the day until the evening to think about what to do. And he would take the best decision that he could obviously.
Following a quick breakfast at the hotel's cafeteria, where Fuutarou and the quints could eat some delicious pancakes, the group went outside of the building to the take a pair of ski for everyone.
Outside it was full of snow, so they could go skiing everywhere they wanted. "Fuutarou-kun, have you already skied before?", suddenly asked Yotsuba to her childhood crush.
"Nope, I never went skiing. Do you want to teach me, Rose-chan?", he replied, using the nickname that he gave her still in Kyoto and making her blush.
"Umm, y-yeah hehe. I-I will b-be glad to teach y-you.", she said, all flustered.
"I-I w-want to learn too.", said instead Miku, pouting because she wanted Fuutarou's attention.
"Hehe, then we all help to teach skiing to Fuutarou-kun and Miku.", proposed Ichika, getting a nod from everyone. Even from Nino but reluctantly, as she wanted to stay alone with the young man. She wanted to know his answer to her invitation to dance after all.
So the group started the skiing lesson in which Yotsuba tried to explain how to use the ski and how to manage to keep the balance while descending down to Fuutarou and Miku. Ichika and Itsuki also helped by showing some examples, which were thanked by Fuutarou with a smile. A powerful smile that made both girls blush.
Feeling sure, the young man decided to try to do what Yotsuba explained to him, so he got ready with his ski and started to descend through the snow. At first he had a bit of trouble to keep balance, but while going down further, he managed to avoid rolling on himself and reached the point in the end.
Happy for his performance, he could hear the compliments coming from the quints, to which he replied with a thumb up and a grin. "Alright, it's your turn, Miku! Do your best!", he said to give courage to his student.
Miku nodded and got some encouraging from her sisters too, so she got ready and started to ski. Compared to Fuutarou, she had more trouble to keep balance, and when she near the finishing point, she lost her balance and risked on her face.
"Miku!", shouted Fuutarou, who took his ski and made sure that Miku fell on his body. The young girl fell so on Fuutarou's chest, bringing the 2 of them down on the snow. Miku then opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Fuutarou's face very close to hers, looking at her with a smile.
"I managed to save you as it seems haha.", he told her with a toothy grin. Due to the so little distance between her faces and that beautiful smile of his, Miku started to blush profusely with some steam coming out of her ears.
'F-Fuutarou, why are you so kind? Y-you j-just make me love you more everyday like this.', she thought, smiling back at him and thanking him. She also glanced at his lips, blushing more and thinking of kissing them, but the voice of one of her sisters stopped such thought.
"M-Miku, are you alright?!", asked loudly Yotsuba, who descended down like the others.
"A-ah, yeah. I r-risked to get hurt, but F-Fuutarou saved me.", she replied, getting off reluctantly from Fuutarou. She wanted to stay close to him like that for a little more.
' You wanted to kiss Fuu-kun, I know it.', thought Nino with a frown, jealous of her sister. She wanted to be saved by Fuutarou like that too and kiss him!
"Well, the important is that both of you are fine. Thank you for saving Miku, Fuutarou-kun.", told him Itsuki while giving him a hug. A hug that made her sisters jealous because they wanted to hug him too.
"I would never let one of you 5 get hurt on my watch.", he replied while patting her head, causing her and he sisters to blush.
"Fufu, you're our knight if you say that, Fuutarou-kun.", teased him Ichika, making him scratch the back of his head while blushing.
"Haha, changing topic, do you want to try skiing again, Miku?", he asked to the Sengoku lover. The young girl smiled and nodded, so the group decided to start skiing again, with the difference that Yotsuba proposed to play catch with her as the one to catch everyone.
Her sisters and Fuutarou then started to ski to avoid getting caught, and during this, the young man noticed a little igloo next to a wooden wall. Smiling, he decided to hide inside there, thinking that Yotsuba wouldn't check the igloo.
And he was right as he could hear from outside Yotsuba exclaiming that she caught Itsuki and Ichika. But to his surprise, someone else entered in the igloo, and it happened to the butterfly ribbons quint. "Ara, Fuu-kun. You thought of hiding here too, huh?", she told him, smiling upon seeing him.
"Yeah, you got me. I found this strange igloo and decided to use it at my advantage. Let me make some space for you.", he replied, moving a little ro let Nino sit down next to him.
"Thank you, Fuu-kun. Also, s-since w-we're alone, c-could y-you give m-me an answer to my invitation?", she asked him, blushing and fidgeting.
Hearing that question made Fuutarou smile sadly; he knew that he had to give an answer to her and her sisters invitations, and even if Yotsuba didn't invite him to the the bonfire dance yet, he knew she would do it. She had feelings for him since they met in Kyoto after all.
Taking a deep breath, he replied, "Nino, I thought about it and I can tell you that I will gladly dance with you tonight."
His words made her blush more and smile happily, but then he told her something else, "But I want you to meet me near the lake that we saw the yesterday. I w-want to do our personal bonfire."
Such reply left a little confused, but thinking about it more, she found it romantic. They could have their personal bonfire dance and maybe also kiss each other! "That's a brilliant idea, Fuu-kun! I will gladly come tonight there hehe.", she told him, giggling and hugging him.
"Glad that you like my idea haha. Now I' going outside and see if Yotsuba can catch me.", he replied, patting her head swiftly and starting to get out of the igloo.
'Moo, I wanted him to stay here with me a little more.', thought the young girl, pouting.
Fuutarou, meanwhile, was now out of the igloo and saw Yotsuba in the distance looking around. Smiling, he called for her, "Hey Yotsuba! I'm right here! Try to catch me if you can!"
The bunny ribbon girl looked in front of her to see her tutor grinning at her, and after hearing what he said, she smiled and her challenge mode activated.
"Here I come, Fuutarou-kun. I'll catch you and tickle you!", she exclaimed before starting to chase the young man, who started running.
Itsuki, Ichika and Miku, who got caught earlier, observed how their sister was happily playing with Fuutaroi and smiled despite feeling a bit jealous. But the most jealous was Nino, as she still wanted to pass more time alone with the young man in the igloo.
Meanwhile, said young man was still running from Yotsuba, keeping a short distance between them. They were laughing while playing like this; it was like they had fun together in Kyoto 5 years ago.
"Alright, Fuutarou-kun! Here's my Yotsuba Hug!", shouted the young girl while jumping towards Fuutarou. He turned around then and saw that she jumped, so he opened his arms to catch her. He managed to do that, but they fell on the snow together anyways.
Seeing that she caught him, Yotsuba smiled and started to tickle Fuutarou-kun, making laugh wholeheartedly.
"Hahahaha, s-stop. I-It tickles hahahaha.", he said while laughing.
"Hehe, if you want that I stop, then c-could y-you dance with me at the bonfire?", she asked him with a blush appearing in her face.
'She finally asked me that too. Then I can tell her this.', he thought, still laughing a bit before looking at her and smiling.
"Yeah, I will dance with you tonight, but at the bonfire that I want to prepare near the lake just for us. I want to make it special.", he said to the flushed girl that was still sitting on top of him.
Such reply made her eyes shine and smile happily before she leaned forward and enveloped him in a hug. "Thank you, Fuutarou-kun. I can't wait to dance with you tonight hehe.", she told him, tightenjn her hug.
The young man smiled and caressed her head instead, and after some minutes, the other quints arrived and pouted to see Yotsuba on top of Fuutarou while hugging him.
Jealous, Itsuki and Miku hugged Fuutarou too, followed by Ichika and Nino. "Girls, Fuutarou-kun suffers tickling! Let's make him laugh hehe."
Hearing that made her sisters giggle, so Fuutarou sweatdropped before getting tickled again, this time by each quint. But in retaliation, he tickled them as well, so the whole group ended up laughing together while some passersby found it cute.
Some hours later, after laughing and playing also a snowball fight, the group returned to the hotel to have lunch with some sushi, miso soup and other things prepared by the hotel's kitchen. During this, Nino and Yotsuba were feeding Fuutarou some pieces of food, making him a little embarrassed.
"Ara ara, are 2 trying to feed Fuutarou-kun?", teased Ichika, hiding her jealousy as she wanted to do the same.
"I-I just w-want to make Fuutarou-kun taste this salmon sushi.", said a blushing Yotsuba.
"Fuu-kun has to try this tamagoyaki!", said instead Nino, smiling when Fuutarou ate her food offer and said that it tasted great.
Miku and Itsuki were pouting to see their sisters feeding Fuutarou like that, so they grabbed a piece of food from their dishes and offered them to him. They blushed profusely because of this, but they didn't want to let Nino and Yotsuba have all his attention.
"Now even Miku and Itsuki are feeding you, Fuutarou-kun. You should be happy to have 4 girls spoil you like that, Fuutarou-kun. If you want, Onee-San can give you a lap pillow later.", told him Ichika with a sly smile, making him blush while her sisters frowned.
"T-there is no need for that, Ichika. But thank you anyways.", he replied, still blushing.
From the distance, some Male students cried comical anime tears after hearing what Ichika said to Fuutarou, mentally complaining about the young man being so popular with girls and attracting 5 beautiful sisters to him.
'Why I'm not lucky him?!', they thought, feeling envious of the young man. The only one that instead was happy for Fuutarou having 5 girls that cared so much for him was his best friend Maeda, who was having lunch with his dear Matsui.
Both of them were in fact glad for Fuutarou, as they could see how genuinely affectionate the quints were to him. Plus, it was thanks to him that the brown haired guy and Matsui got together, and they were deeply grateful to him.
And while the young couple was having lunch together, their golden eyes friend went meanwhile to the bathroom, telling his students that he would come back quickly.
Once he was alone in the bathroom, he took out his phone to send a text to Itsuki, telling her to meet him at the lake tonight and to not say anything to her sisters.
'Good, now I have to tell only Ichika and Miku about it. I just to tell them separatively like I did with their sisters to not ruin the surprise. I know that this may be a crazy idea, but I prefer doing this than seeing 4 of them cry because I rejected to dance with them. This is the only good decision that I could take in the end.', he thought, remembering the plan he had come up with while they were playing in the snow.
Even if he feared that one or 2 of the quints wouldn't like it, he was fully convinced that this was the best decision that he could take; he didn't want that one of the quints got sad at the bonfire like it happened to him because of that girl.
The feelings of the quints for him were real and strong, and he absolutely didn't want to make fun of them or worse. He didn't want to be like the girl that played him a year ago.
After sending the text to Itsuki and going back to the cafeteria, the young man was enveloped in a hug by the happy ahoge girl, whose ahoge was wagging like a dog tail.
"Let's finish to eat, Fuutarou-kun!", she told him with a bright smile.
Smiling back at her, he nodded and sat down again between Nino and Yotsuba , who pouted at seeing Itsuki hugging Fuutarou like she was his girlfriend.
Also Miku pouted, while Ichika simply giggled and started to tease the young man again. And while finishing to have lunch, the group also decided that they would visit a temple near the hotel later to take some photos together. An idea that each one of them liked.
So, after finishing to have lunch, the group went to their room to change their skiing tracksuits with casual clothes, with the young tutor changing in the bathroom, even if Ichika told him that she wouldn't mind if he saw her changing, getting scolded by Itsuki for being shameless.
But she wasn't the only one who wouldn't mind being seen naked by Fuutarou, as also Nino, Miku and Yotsuba thought about it, imagining also something not very innocent involving him, which made them blush profusely.
Anyways, after everyone changed clothes, they got out of their room and told the teachers that they would go to visit the temple. The teachers nodded, so Fuutarou and the quints are now walking together towards the temple, with the the sisters clinging on the young man.
Once they reached the building, they entered inside and admired its decorations and also the statue of a famous warlord. Seeing that made Miku ask Fuutarou if they could take a selfie together, to which he nodded.
So they posed together for the selfie, but the young man got closer to her ear to whisper, "I decided that I want to dance with you tonight. Meet me at the lake afte dinner. I want to make a bonfire just us ."
Blushing for having him so close to her, the young girl's eyes shined for hearing his words, so she instantly hugged him while he took their selfie.
'I-I will dance w-with Fuutarou hehe.' , she thought, happy to dance with her love interest. Also because the idea of having their personal bonfire was very romantic for her.
Her sisters too wanted to take a selfie with him, so, at turns, they posed with him in various ways: Yotsuba hugging him, Ichika leaning her head on his shoulder, Nino hugging his arm and Itsuki being hugged by to the waist from behind. They also took a photo all together, with the quints clinging on the young man in the center.
After this, they also visited the upper floor, and while 4 of the quints were looking at some paintings on the walls, Fuutarou sent the same text that he sent to Itsuki to Ichika that was looking at something else.
She checked the message and her widened, and she blushed when she looked at Fuutarou that smiled and winked at her, causing her to smile too.
'Good, now I invited everyone of them to come to see at the lake. I hope that everything goes well tonight.', thought Fuutarou, glad that his plan was going quite well.
And while he was busy thinking, the oldest quint suddenly hugged his arm and asked him, seductively,"Fuutarou-kun, are you sure you don't want a lap pillow from your beautiful Onee-San?"
Her question caused him to blush while an aura of jealousy appeared around her sisters who clang on him too and exclaimed, "No! He can sleep on my lap instead!"
'I knew it would end up like this haha.', he thought, chuckling at how his students were arguing about who would give him a lap pillow. Each quint really wanted to let him sleep on her lap.
Some time later, following their visit to the temple and a nice dinner at the hotel, each quint left at different moments the hotel room after Fuutarou went to do something of important as he had said.
Each sister what he was referring to, so now they were all walking separately towards the lake after everyone of them got out of their hotel room at different moments.
The first one to arrive to the lake was Yotsuba, whose eyes shined at the sight of the bonfire near the lake. She didn't see Fuutarou around, but she was certain that he would arrive quickly.
And someone arrive indeed after one minute, but it happened to be Miku. "Ehhh? What are you doing here, Miku?", asked Yotsuba to the headphones girl.
"Fuutarou told me to come here to dance with him.", replied a confused Miku.
"Miku? Yotsuba? Why are you here?", asked another voice. The 2 girls turned around to see Nino with a confused expression as well.
"W-wait, did Fuutaro-kun ask you to come here to dance with him, Nino?", asked her Yotsuba, now more confused.
"Y-yeah, he told me that he wanted to make a bonfire here at the lake to dance with me. But why are you here?"
"Ara ara, you 3 are here as well.", said another voice, and Nino, Miku and Yotsuba saw then the figures of Ichika and Itsuki.
"W-why is everyone here? I don't understand.", said Itsuki, not understanding the situation.
" It's because I invited everyone of you here, Itsuki.", suddenly said a familiar voice.
Each quint then their beloved tutor walking towards them, wearing a dark green jacket, black pants and boots. He was also smiling at them.
"W-what do you m-mean, Fuutarou?", asked him Miku, getting closer to him to look at him in the eyes.
Taking a deep breath first, he replied, "I' sorry, girls. I couldn't bring myself to accept to dance with one of you and reject the others to see them crying later, so I decided to invite everyone of you here to dance with me. I'm aware that m-my idea is absurd and crazy, but knowing your feelings, I couldn't stand the idea of you crying because I chose to dance with one of you and not with the others too."
He then enveloped Miku in a hug, bringing her close to his chest and making her blush. "After that girl played with my feelings last year, I promised myself to never ever let myself become like her. I'm aware of what all of you feel for me, and how much this bonfire dance means for you. So I decided to invite each one of you to dance with me at our personal bonfire, hoping to make everyone of you happy. B-but if now you are a-angry with me and don't want to dance together, I-I will understand."
After that, he hugged Miku tighter, apologizing to her and her sisters again. Now he was waiting for her reaction, and to his big surprise, the headphones girl hugged him back while her sisters hugged him too.
Fuutarou's eyes widened. "G-girls?"
"F-Fuutarou-kun, don't be sad. I-I don't want you to see with a sad expression. You don't have to apologize.", told him Yotsuba.
"F-Fuu-kun, I-I really wanted to be the only one to dance with you, b-but I understand your reasons. You don't need t-to remember that horrible girl again.", told him Nino.
"F-Fuutarou, it's ok. I-I don't m-mind that y-you want to d-dance with all of us."
"I agree. Onee-san h-happy that y-you care so much about our feelings hehe."
"F-Fuutarou-kun, don't worry. You will never be like that girl; you're already better than her. Worrying so much about our feelings shows it.", told him Itsuki, tightening her hug on him like her sisters did.
All their words managed to make Fuutarou's sad expression turn into a happier one, so he hugged everyone of them tightly and replied, "Your words make me really happy, girls. I mean it. And i-f you don't mind then, will you dance with me?"
They all looked at him with flushed face before smiling and saying, "Of course Fuutarou-kun/Fuu-kun/Fuutarou! We love you!"
Such reply made him blush as well, but despite that, he smiled brightly and said, "I love you too."
His words caused each quint to get more flustered with some steam coming out of their faces, which made the young man chuckle as he found it cute.
And after this nice confessui, since the bonfire was still burning, the quints started to dance at turns with their beloved tutor, using some romantic melody on Miku's phone.
They all danced happily with him, hugging him and also giving some kisses on the cheeks, coloring them in red. So while the other students were dancing at the other bonfire near the hotel, Fuutarou and his students were instead here at lake, enjoin their dance at their personal bonfire.
And even if they were all of them to dance with him, the Nakano sisters were sure that the bonfire legend would tie their destiny with their handsome tutor that they loved so much.
A/N
Chapter 13 is here! What's this? Did Fuutarou decide to dance with all the quints and also confessed to love them? Sure he did! As he didn't want to be like that cruel girl that played with his feelings, the young tutor managed to come up with a plan that assured to make his dear students happy.
Despite this, he felt sorry anyways, fearing that they wouldn't like his idea at all. But the quints perfectly understood his reasons, so they all hugged him and gladly accepted to dance with him while also confessing their love. And he feels the same for each one of them haha.
Now that they confessed to each other, how will Fuutarou's relationship with his students go? And their school life? Stay tuned to find out.
See ya!
