D: So, I for once again started this writing this chapter late than what I wanted. So much for the internet.
K: Yeah. I felt that.
M: Before you find out which quintuplet found Kintaro out…
It: We want to thank you for reading this so far, and keeping up with this lazy writer.
D: Yeah yeah, I know I'm lazy aight? Sheesh.
Y: It's alright D-san! Before we move on to this Quintuplet's date…
Ic: The author doesn't own any of us, and we belong to our respective creator and originator. All rights reserved.
It: With that being said, time for the solo-quintuplet date!
N: Have fun reading!
"N-Nino?" Kintaro blurted out. He was still in shock that one of the quintuplets saw through his façade. He was supposed to say it during their dinner time, but he didn't want the nostalgic feeling of eating along with the quintuplet to vanish because of his sudden revelation.
"Y-you jerk! Look what you made us feel!" Nino shouted, finally relieved that she doesn't have to hold off any of her emotions from the insensitive guy. "You insensitive idiot!" She burst while glaring at him for his outrageous stunt.
"W-when did you figure it out?" Kintaro asked, staring back at the quintuplet that was straddling in his stomach. To his surprise, Nino was really light, probably because of a nice body that he was ashamed to admit.
"E-ever since you disappeared on us you idiot!" Nino said, grappling onto Kintaro's collar and started on shaking it violently, causing Kintaro to get dizzy from the apparent shaking.
"I-I'm sorry but p-please stop shaking me!" Kintaro pleaded, while he was getting close to fainting from her wrath. He wanted the violent shaking to stop, but Nino wasn't listening to reason.
"H-how could you?" She sniffled, trying to keep her insides from crying from clear words to muffled words. "After what we've all been through, do you know how hard it was to cope from your disappearance?! Have you no re-" She was cut off when he abruptly grabbed her shoulders, making her calm down.
"Nino! Listen to me! Just calm down before you go cuckoo on me again!" He desperately tried to reason out.
"Let go of me!" Nino tried to wriggle out of his grasp while her eyes were closed but he was too strong for her to get out of it. 'Was he always this strong?!' She thought as she felt his firm grasp on her shoulder, making her stay in position. She was still trying to pry his hands off of her by shaking violently, as if she was being imprisoned.
'Tch, I'm sorry Nino!' He quickly thought before doing the irreversible to make things right. At least, hopefully to his situation.
"I said let go! Are you deaf or s-" Nino was silenced. 'W-w-what's going on?!' Nino said as she opened her eyes, as wide as saucers to find out how she was silenced, just to find out that he grabbed her shoulders and gave her a light peck that almost melted her, both literally and figuratively
"Eh?! Kintaro is k-kissing me?!' She was shocked at how this idiot who was completely against love managed to turn into a new leaf. It also shocked her at how this tutor was acting and being smooth.
After some time, he backed down, gazing at her eyes and staring at her intently. "Are you ready to listen Nino?"
"…" Nino's silence ensued.
"Nino?"
"..." Nino said, still in a romantic trance or what they say shock.
"Niiiinoooo?"
'I'm sorry guys, but I want to take Kintaro all for myself!' She resolved herself and grabbed his face and paused for a second before acting again.
"N-nino?" He stuttered, not knowing where this was going. Although, he can say that he was surprised. 'I thought she was going to slap me for disappearing on them.' He mentally said, as he tried to fortify himself for whatever's about to transpire.
"I'm sorry Kintaro…" Nino said, with tears still intact. She was yearning for the moment to seize the opportunity to get a head start from her quintuplets to get his heart.
"Wha-" He was interrupted when Nino slammed her lips into his, causing him to pause for a second.
'I didn't expect this to happen. I thought she would calm down after what I did, or at least go berserk.' He mentally said as he was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Nino was kissing him, albeit aggressive.
'I-it feels so good…' Nino thought as she delved deeper into his tongue, wrestling his tongue with hers with so much fervor that he's starting to get a bit lightheaded. 'Is this what it feels to kiss someone this passionate?' She continued in her thoughts, with her face still close to him.
After a round of passionate kissing, she finally backed off and stared at his eyes, full of passion and love, as if she was satisfied with the kiss. She gasped for air, apparently tired from all the kissing that she did after a small peck from Kintaro triggered her to kiss him, for two reasons: They missed his warmth, the smile that he gave to them, the trust that he had to them, and most especially the time that all of the quintuplets had spent with him.
"N-nino? Wha-" He thought she was finished when she placed her index figure to signal him to shut up.
"Shh, don't speak another word for now Kintaro." She commanded him to which he followed suit.
After following said command, she said to him in a voice that could jolt anyone if they were awkward with girls "Good, now let me take care of you, Kin~ta~ro…" She seductively said as she went on to dive into him, head first to kiss him for the 2nd time, much to his astonishment and bewilderment.
'Damn it! I can't pry her off anymore!' He thought, as he was relentlessly being ravaged by Nino's tongue. He never expected that it would last this long, when his plan was clearly to just snap her out of anger, which was replaced with yearning and passion. 'Honestly, this doesn't feel actually bad. In fact, it feels too addicting to ever stop to this feeling.'
He finally succumbed to her kiss, which made Nino feel really spoiled. 'Let's see how she'd react to this.' He thought, as he wrapped his arms around her back. 'Heh. He finally fell for my kiss. Take that, my sisters!' She raised her fist in her thought, denoting that victory was hers.
Feeling his soft, yet stable hands at her back, she reached out her hands. One to his nape, and one on his head, pressing their lips much powerful and much deeper than what she did.
'I can't… I can't get enough of this feeling…' She thought, as she was drowning in total ecstasy. She was exploring the insides of his mouth, which at first shocked him. Being the boy who didn't like anyone and thought that love was useless, to the man that was already experienced from kissing.
'He's experienced? Did he kiss anyone before us?' She thought as she never imagined that he would be used to kissing like this, and with no difficulty as well. 'I wonder what he'd feel if I did this.' An idea popped into her mind, and that is to basically shove herself into his embrace, and force him to kiss her more passionately to the point that she will be the only one to ever that he thinks off.
She gripped his head, and pull himself to her, as if to say that no space was ever being wasted. She then kissed him with so much furor that it doesn't seem like that she wasn't actually putting any effort.
'How does she still have this much energy? It feels too hard on me!' He commented on her power and energy, which seems it won't deplete any soon. In fact, it feels like this was just the start of what looks to be a night that they both won't forget.
'I'm getting dizzy again…' he mentally said, clearly trying his best to reciprocate the feelings that the adamant and strong-willed quintuplet was showing.
'Looks like he's had enough.' Nino smugly thought, as she separated once again from Kintaro's lips, with saliva trailing on both of their tongue. To say that he didn't want to stop was an understatement to him. He even wanted to continue, but 'I have to keep my sanity intact, or else who knows if I might do the regrettable?' he didn't want to actually do something with "them" until they get married, or at least in this story.
'Eh, I can do whatever I want in this story, who cares if I choose all of them?' he mentally said, thinking that he could have chosen all of them, and not just only one.
"How was that Kintaro?" She said, literally proud of her energy and the ferocity that she showed to him.
"Amazing." His wholehearted reply to the kiss was all it takes before Nino made an imaginary fist bump in the air, signaling that she was able to conquer him. Although she doesn't want to let anyone take him, she was willing to have a compromise with her sisters, as long as certain boundaries and rules were applied and considered.
"Glad you loved it." Nino sweetly smiled at his honest action, and stood up to assist him to stand as well. "Take my hand." She offered.
"T-thanks…" Kintaro meekly said, still in shock after their passionate kiss. To him, it was like she just released all of her pent up emotions. It was understandable to him that you want to have in contact with someone you love. In his case? Someone "they" love would be the best statement that he just felt.
When Nino was able to pull him up from the floor, she pulled himself to her, causing their bodies to collide to each other. This was the perfect chance as she pulled him in a hug.
'She smells so fragrant.' Kintaro thought, returning the hug that earned him a cute chuckle from the second oldest quint. 'I could get used to this.' He commented mentally.
After some time time, what it felt like an eternity had to cease, and she, especially he wanted to catch up with the daily lives of those whom he had feelings for ever since he started to become their tutor.
Kintaro wanted to hear her story about how they were dealing with the said disappeance, so he invited her to his room.
"Do you want to come up to my room?" He said, suggesting that they go there to tell her story.
"Sure. Let me just contact my sisters." Nino agreed with no hesitation, and picked up her cellphone. She was going to contact them to notify that she was going to be late coming home.
RING.
…
RING.
…
R-
"Nino?" The voice asked to confirm.
"Hey Ichika, I might be coming late, so don't wait for me." She said.
"Where are you anyway?" Ichika inquired.
"I'm still at Kintaro's condominium. I wanted to ask him some questions about a certain someone." She finished.
"Oh alright. Just don't stay up late, ok? We don't want to worry about you missing just like our former tutor did." Ichika advised. She knew Nino was a strong girl, but she also has to take care of herself. Who knows what would happen if she actually encountered someone dangerous as a robber, or much worse?
"Don't worry, I'll be safe!" Nino said, reassuring the eldest quint that she'd be safe while going home.
"Alright! See you soon sis!" Ichika finished, clearly done with her notification.
"Bye, see you soon!" Nino said, and she closed her phone, which gave Kintaro the signal that she was done.
"How did it go?" Kintaro asked.
"It went well." She started, "They won't mind if I stay with you for a while." She winked at her "tutor" which made Kintaro blush as a tomato.
'How come I'm still not used to Nino's flirty side? Damn it.' He inwardly cursed at himself for not getting used to her style of loving. He knew that Nino was really bold, and she's hell bent on getting what she wants, even if she had to use force.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go." He said, with a calm voice, forcing his mind to act mature, and not doing anything that could suggest falling into the dark side.
"Right back at you." Nino said, following suit to his retreating form. They went upstairs, and Nino noticed that each of the door was uniquely designed. There were six doors that had a keypad to them, along with a cute design of a number above the keypad.
'How absurdly rich did he become?!' Nino exclaimed in her mind. She noticed that each of the door, was oddly specific.
The 1st door was decorated with many types of entertainment stickers, from cameras to movie reels, and as well as a red rug as the color of the door.
The 2nd door was decorated with cooking utensils that was nicely interconnected around, with the colors as white as the uniform of a chef, which was her dream to own a bakery.
'Why does it look oddly specific? It feels like this is going to be our rooms in the near future…' Nino said as she looked at the next three doors that followed.
The 3rd door was decorated in a picture of what it seems to be a samurai, with doors painted in a black and red stripes, exactly like how a Shogun would look like in prehistoric Japan.
'I assume this was designed for Miku. I gotta say, I'm Impressed at whoever designed all of this doors.' Nino was in trance at how the doors were painted and presented per quint. Good was an understatement. It was actually well done.
Kintaro, noticing how the quint was quietly looking at the doors and was amazed, he felt proud for himself. 'I hope you liked it.' He smugly thought, as he was actually the one who did all the paints and designs for each wall. 'Good thing that I knew all of your favorite hobbies or dreams that you guys wanted to pursue.'
Nino then looked at the next two doors before arriving at his room that was painted in a cyan color thanks to his favorite sweater as inspiration.
The 4th door was painted with an orange hue, along with a leafy green vine hanging and covering the door.
'I wonder what this feels like.' Nino grasped on the leaves, which shocked her. The realistic leaves were only smooth textures of what she thought was papers, but were actually fabrics. 'This fabric feels expensive.' She further touched it to confirm, and she was right: It was a high-end fabric that costs thousands of yen.
'Dang, if we're going to live here, it'd already be paradise for us.' She said as she envisioned the future where they were living together, along with Futaro. Good thing is, she knew Futaro is the one that was leading to his room.
They almost arrived at his room which was one door away from the path they were taking. The only thing left is to go pass through the last door.
The last door was covered in black and white checkered board, along with foods that would make anyone hungry if they stared at it for too long. Every square tile was covered with a picture of a food that Itsuki likes.
'Knowing Itsuki, she's going to become fatter if she sees this.' She giggled at her mischievous thoughts, which wasn't left unnoticed by the man leading.
'I know right? She needs to get thinner; as if I'd ever tell her that. I changed already, and seeing her eating happily is something that I don't want to be gone.' He mentally replied, appearing that he read her mind, much to her unknowing mind.
They arrived at his door. Unlike the doors that was secured with a coded lock, the keys to his door only comprised of an eye-scanner that would automatically open if the one entering was him, and only him alone.
"How does this door work?" Nino inquired, curious at the strange contraption that was in front of them.
"Basically, it's an eye scanner that will open the door if I scanned my eyes with it." He casually explained, while placing his head on what appears to be a support for the scanner to operate normally.
"Interesting…" She watched him with anticipation, imagining what would happen next. To her surprise, and to Kintaro's amusement, the door that was in front of them slowly slid to the right, to say that they can now gain entry to such a well-protected room such as his.
"Come on in!" Kintaro gestured her to come inside, to which she immediately did. What she found made her mouth drop down to the floor in a figurative manner of course.
"What do you think?" Kintaro asked, in order to find out if his room was up to par to her expectations.
"It's actually quite nice." Nino commented. She noticed that the room was spacious that was filled with a king bed with a pink cover in the middle, a bookshelf with six rows, labled one to six, a desktop that contains state-of-the-art gadget, and a table that can fit three people.
"Anyway, shall we continue?" Kintaro inquired, urging the girl to either sit on the chair, or on his bed. Kintaro was sitting ninety degrees on his bed, since his bed was in contact with the wall.
"Sure." Nino went on to his bed and lie down on his bed. 'His bed is so smooth, makes me feel sleepy all of a sudden.' She commented on the texture of his bed. It can make anyone feel sleepy in just minutes, which would be beneficial to them since they don't sleep much ever since he left them.
After for some time now, silence ensued. Kintaro wanted to break the tension by starting off the conversation and to ask the questions he wanted to know the answers to. If being with a girl wasn't awkward, then a girl on a boy's bed, in the middle of the night wouldn't be awkward as well, right?
The deadly silence can be heard all around the room, as if there's actually a noise. A single pin would do quite well in order to break the thin ice that is the silence that is donning upon Kintaro's spacious yet empty room.
"How are they Nino?" Kintaro asked, looking at her lying figure on the bed. He admitted that something might be nice to do, but he has to keep his sanity intact, or who knows what would happen. "I assumed you guys didn't take my leave well." He continued, as if he already knew how they'd feel.
"Are you stupid?" Nino said in a joking manner. "What do you mean "didn't take your leave well"? All of us didn't take your abrupt leave!" She lightly punched his shoulders.
"How so?" Kintaro asked with curiosity. He was wondering how they had cope well with his sudden leave in school.
"Well…" Nino said, twirling her hair in a clockwise manner, getting ready for a flashback that she wants to share since he asked her about their condition.
(Flashback; Quintuplet Apartment after Futaro's drop.)
After the announcement of his leave at school, the quintuplets at school were devastated to hear, especially that the "insensitive" tutor didn't say anything about the said departure.
It was a night in the quintuplets' apartment. 'Damn, it sounds like a desert here.' Nino commented as she was cooking their dinner, to try and make their lives easier now that their beloved teacher, friend, and love interest is gone, with no contact. No ways to contact, unknown location where they live, and no news from them.
'Guys, Dinner's ready!' Nino shouted to her sisters, which was only met by a silence. The single drop of a pin is already noisy in the apartment, given that no one talks. Sadly, that was the condition of the apartment. The Quintuplets, aside from Nino are in their room, either crying from their beloved's loss, or doing something uncharacteristically to them, which gave her the creeps.
'What are they doing?' Nino thought as she went upstairs to each of their room.
Itsuki was lying down in her bed, crying silently so no one, including her sisters would hear it. 'Itsuki, the food's ready.'
'I'm not hungry.' She flatly rejected her offer, causing the 2nd quintuplet to let out a surprised face. It was uncharacteristically impossible for her to deny any food given to her, considering her large appetite. 'Well, just come down when you feel like it.' Nino finally said, before closing her youngest sister's door.
'Ok.' She flatly said before returning back to her crying mode. 'Poor Itsuki…' Nino thought, as she didn't want any of her sisters to cry, but it was impossible since she knew how deep their feelings was for Futaro.
Unbeknownst to Nino, Itsuki muttered something that would've pained Nino as well. 'I hope I see you soon Uesugi-kun… I already missed you so much. Idiot.' She said, with tears silently coming down on her face.
Next's room after Itsuki was Yotsuba's. 'I wonder what she's doing.' She quietly said as she went to open her door leading to Yotsuba's room. 'I doubt she's doing pretty badly unlike Itsuki.' She opened the door, not to find her exercising. 'What?' Nino was dumbfounded. The quintuplet who was an exercise-nut, meaning that she loves to exercise every day was not exercising. Instead, she found her 4th quintuplet studying so eagerly, as if her life depended on it.
Wanting to know more, Nino went inside to check on her sister. 'What are you doing Yotsuba?' The 2nd asked the 4th quint, who answered while focusing on her papers that seemed to be an exam. To admit, she wanted to study in hopes to surprise the tutor that might come back in due time.
'Oh, Nino! Ehmm… You see, I… umm… I was just studying.' Yotsuba said with a low and meek voice that would melt anyone that wants a lenient girl in their life.
'For what?' Nino asked, tilting her head. 'We don't have any exams coming up, right?' She asked to confirm.
'Not really.'
'Then what is it for?'
'Well…' She stuttered before continuing to admit the reason she was studying. 'I wanted to impress Uesugi-san when he might decide to come back and tutor us.' She finally admitted with a smile that could make anyone fall for her, but underneath it was a broken smile that was pleading anyone to release their misery
'So, ever since he disappeared, you want to impress him. So the only way that you can do that is to study hard just in case he might tutor us again?' Nino asked for confirmation.
'Yeah…' Yotsuba once again stuttered, before a tear escaped out of her eyes, which surprised Nino. The 4th quintuplet was known for being strong, strong-willed, and optimistic. The emotions that she accidentally showed to her though was in fact the opposite of what she was: Weak, Broken, and Pessimistic.
'There, there. I'm sure Uesugi would come back.' Nino gave Yotsuba a warm hug that made her feel relaxed. 'Let's just hope that he would come back, alright?' She gave her a self-reassuring smile to make her feel better.
'Yeah.' She smiled back at her. Silence ensued, before she asked Nino something.
'Hey Nino?'
'Yeah?'
'Do you love Uesugi-san?' She asked with a low voice.
'Of course. I mean, we all do, right?' Nino said with a smile. Denying it might hurt her, or rejecting the mere idea of it might cause some alternate effect that would give them a negative effect.
'You're right about that.' Nino said. After some time, they separated their hug so they both can work back on what they were doing: Yotsuba with studying, and Nino with inviting all the quints to dinner that she prepared for all of them.
'Don't study up to late, ok? Dinner is ready too.' She said, while going back to the door to invite the remaining quintuplets, namely Miku and Ichika.
'Yeah, I'll be there!' Yotsuba said, with a beaming face. 'Heh, Yotsuba's much looking cute with her smiling. Uesugi, you better watch out. We're going to make you pay for making Itsuki and Yotsuba cry.' Nino adamantly said, prepared to give him an earful for hurting the two youngest quints.
'I wonder what Miku and Ichika are doing. I'm starting to doubt that they'd be alright after what happened.' Nino said as she went to proceed to visiting Miku's and Ichika's room to check on them after Kintaro had supposedly left.
"Tch." Kintaro clicked his tongue, apparently displeased with himself, especially that he had to droup out in order to live a rich life, and now that their debts are paid. 'Just wait for me, I'll finish this as soon as possible.' He mentally fortified himself, pretty dead set to finish the "stupid" letter.
Nino noticed the scowl on his face while she was describing how it went, which made her stop in the middle of her story. "What's wrong Kintaro?'
"I feel so bad." Kintaro facepalmed himself for being this heartless. 'I imagine that they might do badly when I was gone, but I never thought it would be this bad.' He can feel the pain that he gave to them. It was inevitable. His debts, loans and things that needs to be paid for kept piling up. He needed something to clear it up, and the letters that he received did just that. In fact, he's blessed that he was able to have some things that he wasn't able to have before.
"Well, it's in the past now, so don't fret about it, alright? You're not going to leave us anymore, right?" Nino said with a gleeful tone.
"Yeah. I won't." Kintaro reassured her. He was going to do everything to make it things right, even as to date each one of them to reassure that he wasn't going to leave them anymore.
"And that's good enough for us." Nino said, looking at his direction to face him with an angelic smile that would be intoxicating for anyone.
"Don't worry. I'm going to make it up to you guys." Kintaro said, lying down with her, facing her direction as well.
"Glad to hear that." She whispered. They both smiled for some time, until Nino was going to continue her ongoing story about what happened to them after that fateful day, much to Kintaro's peaking curiosity and wonder.
(Back to the Flashback)
'I wonder what Miku's doing.' Nino thought. After checking out the younger two quintuplets, at least one of those quintuplets were holding up very well due to her positivity and cheerfulness, which gave Nino a moment of relief. Then again, Itsuki was crying her heart out at how someone whom they trust so much had left them for no reason.
'Miku?' The quint asked the middle quint who she didn't know what was doing right now. 'Miku?' She called out again, but came up with no response whatsoever. No hesitation occurring, Nino quietly looked at her room, to find out that she was already asleep with headphones on.
'What is she playing now?' She softly muttered and went to retrieve Miku's phone. She saw that Miku was actually listening to some boring history about a certain Era, which Nino didn't hate nor liked.
'She's too tired I suppose.' She resignedly sigh and kissed Miku's forehead to wish her a good night sleep. 'Good night Miku, sweet dreams.' She moved the blanket and covered her with it. Miku's room was well ventilated with an inverter that was spewing out cold winds which made her hands tremble due to its sheer coldness.
'Last one.' She went outside to retrieve Ichika and see whatever she was doing. Closing Miku's door on the way out, she skipped her room due to obvious reason: She was the one who was residing in said skipped room. Ashe finally arrived after passing down her bedroom, and she noticed that the door was opened slightly.
'Ichika, I'm both respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your 2nd sister by coming in anyway.' She busted inside the room and see that she was watching some sort of drama.
'Ichika, you there?' Nino asked the eldest quintuplet that replied with an interested "yes", not at her sister, but on the television itself.
'Yeah, I'm here Nino. What's up?' She replied after pausing her favorite drama to pay attention to the quint that had disturbed her drama.
'Dinner's getting cold, so get down later, alright?' Nino said.
'What about the others?' Ichika inquired, scratching her head along.
Nino explained that two of the quintuplets were already asleep, with one crying and one as literally asleep. One of the quintuplets however was studying to impress said tutor when they see him again.
'Itsuki's been crying to sleep, Miku's asleep listening to some boring warlord's era, and I think Yotsuba's just studying.'
'Oh? Yotsuba's studying? What for?' Ichika asked, gaining a peak of wonder as to how was the girl who failed at their previous highschool were studying hard, when she knows they don't have any tests or incoming exams at all.
'She told me she wanted to impress Uesugi.' She casually said, in a matter-of-fact tone, causing the eldest to emit a small gasp.
'Wow, I never thought that she would want to do something that she doesn't even do before until he came along.' Ichika said. She was surprised that someone as an exercise-nut who exercises on a daily basis every night would exercise not her body, nor her muscles, but her brain.
'I know. It shocked me too, considering that we changed thanks to him.' Nino said in a shy tone, after reminiscing the times that they spent together, from being enemies in the start, to being friends in the middle, and now being almost "lovers" in their end.
'Hahaha, I remember it like it was yesterday.' Ichika laughed at the nice and sweet memories that all of the quints spent together with him.
'Anyway, just get ready for dinner Ichika.' Nino said as she went back to the door to exit on.
'Hai hai.' Ichika waved at her before the door closed. What Nino didn't notice was since Ichika was an aspiring actress, the façade that she showed nothing but broken and hurt quint who just wanted to love someone that would give her love, attention, and dedication. She connected both of her knees and hid her face inside her knees, with tears threatening to come out.
'Come back already Futaro-kun… We miss you already.' She admitted while tears were already falling down on her face, while she was smiling on her pain, indicating that she was strong enough to hide her pain from her sisters, being the eldest and all.
(End of Flashback)
"Argh!" Kintaro grunted in his stupidity and his greediness. If it wasn't for the damn letter, at least he wouldn't hurt anyone. His greed though was the reason they were in pain, and he wanted to let them know he was fine by going on a date and a day that they soon will never forget, starting with Nino.
"Hey Nino." Kintaro said, steeling himself from either an acceptance or a rejection that he was soon to receive.
"Yeah?" Nino said. She willed herself to answer any questions, whether it would be an open or closed question, and answer it to her very best.
'Calm down Kintaro. You can do this.' He mentally willed himself as well, ready to invite the quint on a date to make things right again. "How would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Eh?"
"I mean, I knew that leaving you guys would create a negative effect on each and one of you. I want to fix everything even if the past mistakes that I did were irreversible, if you would allow me to do so." He smiled while gazing at her shining blue eyes, which made the quint's heart flutter and made her feel a butterfly-in-a-stomach kind of feeling.
Not wanting to lose, and wanting to tease him, she faced the other way, with her back facing him. "Hmph. If you thin-" She was interrupted when she felt his arms hug around her stomach.
"Try again." He teased her with a smirk showing on his face, reclaiming victory once again.
"Mouu, no fair Ki-kun!" She pressed her back against his chest, making her feel a bit sleepy.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry about that Nino-chan." He purred near her head, which was only intensifying her melting body from her warm and lovely embrace that was making her head feel so fuzzy.
After silence ensued once again for the umpteenth time, she asked if she can stay here and sleep.
"Hey Ki-kun." She stuttered.
"Yeah?"
"D-do you th-think I can s-sleep here in y-your room tonight?" She said with a faint blush creeping up at her face.
'She looks so cute at this angle.' He commented on her face that was soft to the touch that he once felt when she gripped his head to kiss her so warm. "Of course Nino-chan, you can stay here whenever you want. What about your clothes though?" He wondered, as she was wearing something uncomfortable to sleep with.
"Oh don't worry about that Ki-kun." She faced him to continue. "I already had my clothes ready for tonight."
'Sly girl, did you know that I was going to be here?' He smirked at her cunning personality, such that one time when she successfully manage to slip a sleeping pill into his water.
"How about your sisters?" He continued to ask, making sure that nothing was wrong between them. He didn't want anyone to worry over a miscommunication between them.
"Oh, I already texted them that I'm going to stay somewhere with a friend for the night." She purred, nuzzling to hide over his abdomen that was perfect for any girl to drool on.
"Aren't you the sly one Nino-chan?" He commented on her cheeky attitude which he hated at first, but loved it at the end. He knows what they say, never judge a book by its cover, especially if you know you're going to love the cover at the end.
"What can I say Ki-kun? I'm too cheeky to get a head start on you." She smiled, which was met by a smile as well.
"Well then, should we get ready for the night?" Kintaro said as he stood up, much to his disappointment and dressed up in his sleeping attire.
"Sure. I'm going to take a bath first." Nino said, grabbing her clothes. "Where's the bathroom anyway?"
"In total," Kintaro explained "We have seven bathrooms here, one for each door that we went past through. There's a bathroom here, and there's also a bathroom downstairs. You can choose which to bathe from." He finished while lying down with his cellphone.
"Alright. Wait for me. Don't disappear on me Ki-kun." She winked at him, which was met by a smile from his cellphone, watching some funny videos.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." He reassured that he wasn't going anywhere since it was already 11PM in the night.
"Be right back." Nino said as she ran downstairs to go to the bathroom, eager to be in his arms again.
She undressed her clothes inside the bathroom and went to the bathtub to soak herself with warm water. She wanted warm water to bathe, since it was actually her habit to wash herself with warm water.
"Eh?" She was wondering how to operate such a complex bathtub that had three buttons. The colors were labeled with blue, red, and a black knob. 'I think this red knob is the warm water.' She turned the knob clockwise just to emit a shriek from the 2nd quintuplet.
(Meanwhile upstairs)
He heard a cute shriek coming from downstairs, and he knew he was in a world of pain.
"Pfft, I forgot to tell her that the black knob was the warm water, the red knob was the cold water, and the blue knob was for the soap." He slightly chuckled before he heard a tearing shriek that cursed him that he'll pay for not saying this earlier.
(Back to Downstairs Bathroom)
"He's going to pay for this!" Nino said in an irritated manner, admitting that Kintaro had won once again. "Anyway, time to contact my sisters." She said as she took the phone in the bathroom, since she always brings it to her no matter where she goes.
She opened the messanging app labeled "Wotsup" and texted her sisters.
Nino: Hey Ichika, I'm going to stay to a friend's place for tonight.
Ichika: Where are you right now?
Miku: Stay safe sis.
Nino: Thanks Miku. I'm at my friend's house, near our apartment.
Yotsuba: Okey-Dokey Nino!
Itsuki: Don't forget to bring us food tomorrow!
Ichika: Don't stay late Nino.
Nino: I won't.
Ichika: What about your clothes?
Nino: Oh, my friend has some spare clothes for me.
Ichika: Oh alright then, have fun Nino!
Itsuki: Bring us food tomorrow!
Nino: I will, I will. Bye guys!
Nino then closed her phone to relax once again in the bath. 'Feels bad for lying, but all fairs in love and war.' She sighed and relaxed for another 20 minutes before rinsing herself.
(At Kintaro Uesugi's room)
"What's taking her so long? I'm getting sleepy already." He was groaning as he already feel sleepy from cooking their abundant dinner, much to the quintuplet's delight and his tiredness. A knock can be heard from the other side, as if the door automatically locked itself.
"Coming Nino-chan." He went to open the door, just to find her donning a red nightgown that covered much of her body, since his room was too cold, as well as the living room that he was living in.
"How do I look Ki-kun?" She said with a bit of a gleam in her eyes, wanting to get praised for her look.
"Perfect." One word from him caused her to kiss him on the lips until they went to his bed, with their lips still intact. Once they're on the bed, they silently giggled as Kintaro pulled the blanket to cover their body since the inverted was cold, that could even be on par with the Arctic and Antarctic Region combined.
He clapped his hands twice to signal the lights to close off. Before they went to deep slumber, they faced each other, giving each other a peck on the lips before sleeping.
"Goodnight Ki-kun." Nino smiled sweetly at him.
"Goodnight Nino-chan." He replied back with the same amount of sweet and tanginess in his voice, making them sleep on each other's arm, cuddling in the night, and ready for tomorrow's agenda: The Unforgettable Date.
