Y: Hurray! I mean, …

N: …

D: I feel so ashamed. Should we start then?

K: Right. The author does not associate with the creators and authors of the Quintessential Quintuplets. All rights go to their respective companies. Though, I have to ask, how many times do we have to say the disclaimer?
D: Every chapter probably. Anyway, enjoy!

Where were we? Oh, right.

There are two things that a guy can do whenever a girl spots a boy who she likes, but unconsciously denies it with much furor.

One: Explain things smoothly and hope for the best that she doesn't do anything harsh such as whooping your rear since you were with another girl, who was also her SISTER,

OR

Two: Run like the wind, and disappear for another time. Just like how someone did when they they're scared of committing to someone.

Now, Kintaro himself was quite in a binge, especially with how this turned out to be. A date with Miku resulted in having another meet up with one of the girl's sister, who harbors a crush on him. Well, it can't be even call a little "crush" anymore since the glutton was jealous of Miku being with someone she'd been reminded off. The person that she got reminded off was also their ex-tutor, who she doesn't know that Miku was with as of now.

"M-Miku? W-who are you with?" Itsuki quivered while having hollow eyes. To say that she was shock was an understatement. It felt like something heavy such as an anvil dropped on her head. It hurts. A lot.

'Crap, I thought I would have a nice evening with Miku. Who would ever thought that we'd be busted someone; her sister nonetheless!' He flinched inside his mind. He was hoping that he wouldn't have to do anything.

To his defense, Itsuki was blind if she never wore any glasses. Good thing, she wasn't wearing any. Bad thing? She was wearing her contact lenses.

Itsuki slowly approached the duo who were nervous. It was as if they were both the prey, and Itsuki was the predator. To be honest, she was ALWAYS the predator whenever it came to edible things. Another thing to add, is that she was quite hungry after walking for only five minutes, but no one needed to know that. What she wanted to knew, is that "WHY IS MIKU HANGING OUT WITH A STRANGER?!"

"U-um, he's…" Miku stuttered, nudging Kintaro, signaling him to help a poor quint like her. Not wanting to be deemed a douchebag by some people, he stepped up his game and answered in Miku's place.

"Let me e-" Kintaro was shushed by Itsuki's intense glare, kicking his "fight or flight" response. What cause him to have that kick in him? If it wasn't obvious at the start, Itsuki was baffled and confused, which turned into anger into the man that was with Miku.

"Silence." Itsuki commanded, which made Miku scare of her sister. Who knew that Itsuki would turn into a Nino? Well, it was understandable that Itsuki was the most responsible out of all the quints. She tend glared at Kintaro who was sweating intensely from the deadly gaze of the quint.

"Um, hi. My name's Kintaro. Remember Uesugi?"

Itsuki glanced at the Futaro-wannabe that was infront of her, and beside of Miku. She took a closer look at the guy who just disappeared on them without a trace, and hurting them all in the process. It was clear that they had fallen for him so hard that they would be worried whenever he didn't comply with his said schedule of tutoring the sisters who were stupid in their own way.

"What business do you have with my sister? And what's with being so lovey-dovey?" Itsuki sent a barrage of hard-hitting question to Kintaro, which made him facepalm his brain internally. Who knew that Itsuki was overprotective with Miku? Wait, her being overprotective? 'There seems to be a problem with her.' Kintaro deduced inside his mind. Usually, Itsuki was the only quint who was responsible, but not to the point of scaring strangers whenever some people would approach someone of the quints.

He sighed. "Are you alright Itsuki?" He asked the quint who was still emitting an aura that can threaten even the scariest of the monsters.

"Why do you c-" Itsuki's snappy remark was interrupted when a growl from her stomach became audible, much to her embarrassment. Kintaro's and Miku's facial expression were one of amusement. "N-no one heard anything!" Itsuki shouted, causing Miku and Kintaro to laugh.

"Have you eaten yet, Itsuki? Kintaro asked and he was given a pout by Itsuki.

"Mouu, I can't help it, alright?! I haven't eaten yet!" Itsuki confessed, which gave Miku an idea. Why not invite her to clear some misunderstandings? It's a good thing that they took some takeout from a prehistoric restaurant that depicted samurai's and warlords, which Miku took many photos of it.

"How about you eat with us Itsuki?" Miku invited which Itsuki was thinking. She wouldn't want her sister to hang out with a stranger, right? Right! The thing is, the friend that Miku was hanging out wasn't her friend in actuality. If anything, it seemed like they had a relationship if one were to look at how they spent each other, having the time of their life. Imagine having a date and taking them to their favorite location. It's the best.

"F-fine! But I'm still going to ask the questions, alright?! Let's go Miku!" She tugged Miku away from Kintaro. Seeing the gluttonous redhead scurry away with a Miku that wanted to cling to Kintaro, he sighed and imagined that this wouldn't go any worse, right?

"This is going to be such a pain. But hey, at least I'm going to have 3 quints in the palm of my hands. Not that I'm going to do something villainous to them.' He sighed again, and went to follow suit on the scurrying quintuplets, with a glutton pulling on the arms of a warlord.

On the way to Kintaro's place

Itsuki was still perceptive of Kintaro. She had a feeling that she knows him. The reason however, was quite vague to her. She never seen this individual except the time that they returned his precious belonging. Or, have they?

'Why do I feel like I know him for some reason?' She glanced at the guy who was talking to Miku. Of course, being In the sideway of the road, he decided to protect both of the sisters by shielding them away from the road that had only few cars. It was confusing why he would go to long terms in protecting a stranger and his sister. 'Whatever, I might as well get some food then grill him.' She shook her head and focused on the road ahead.

Meanwhile, Kintaro and Miku were talking about his plan on taking her on a date, but of course Itsuki doesn't have to know that yet. Knowing Itsuki, even if Miku would allow him to date ANOTHER ONE of her sister, Itsuki might decline due to her personality being responsible and calling the sole action of "sleeping with a boy when you're a girl" as shameless. Sure, they might go on a date the next day, but that doesn't mean Itsuki would allow herself to sleep even if it was Kintaro.

"Hey, Miku?" He whispered, audible enough for Miku but not audible enough for Itsuki.

"Let me guess, you're going on with a date to her tomorrow?' She smiled.

"How did you know?' Kintaro asked. Was Miku becoming a mind reader?

"Of course, I know you better than anyone of my sisters!' Miku had her smile retained while looking in front of the way to his condominium.

Yep. She is indeed a mindreader.

"Oh right, I'm not a mindreader.

"Then how are you able to know what I've been thinking?'

Miku wanted to tease Kintaro again. "Maybe it's all thanks to my stalking?~"

Kintaro internally had his whole body cringe. A stalking Miku wouldn't be creepy, right?

"I hope you're joking.' Kintaro said, which Miku gave him a shrug.

"I'll leave that up to your imagination. Teehee~" She sent him a wink, which gave him

"Right. I need to do something about it." Kintaro reminded himself.

No, not the question that could ruin the peaceful atmosphere of their dinner. It would be a shame if their dinner was interrupted with an awkward question coming from the redhead quint who was skeptical of the gold-haired individual.

"So, Miku." She cleared her throat, ready to ask her questions.

Miku and Kintaro knew what was about to transpire and nodded to each other without letting Itsuki know.

"Yes?" Miku said after swallowing her spoonful of her favorite dish from the restaurant they came from a while ago.

"How do you know this boy? Did he forcefully make you sleep in this place? Did he do anything bad to you?" Her question was like a barrage that was in the form of a gattling gun: Her questions were repeatedly being shot at Miku, in which she responded with a sigh.

"Calm down Itsuki." Miku said while staring at Itsuki's face with an expression that can was unreadable. As one of the quints whose quirk personality was being an introvert, she was good at hiding her facial expression. "It wasn't anything like that."

Itsuki sighed. "At least, he didn't do anything to you that diabolical. If he had, then I would've called the police a long time ago."

Kintaro felt his vein popping near his brain. "How low does Itsuki think of me like that?' he looked at the two quintuplets, trying to listen without interrupting them. It was common etiquette that you never interrupt people whenever they are talking.

"So basically, it went something like this." Miku had described what had happened with Miku's day. She was gone for the whole day after all. She was spending time with Kintaro, the one who her heart had fallen for, and the one that gave her hope that she would be able to pass the highschool.

Flashback

Come on, it was just a joke!" Kintaro pleaded to the now sulking Miku who is now stomping away from him as payback for his cruel activity. It was impossible for Miku do hate him since he was the only one that she knew had the affection of all of her sisters.

"I don't care about you anymore." Miku lied as naturally she breathed. It was fun to act like she was talking but in reality she just wanted to see how Kintaro would act if she got irritated by his shenanigans. Admittedly she fell for him harder like how cupid was targeting for the bullseye, and managing to hit directly in the center.

Wanting to get to her good side as soon as possible he decided to convince her. He still hasn't realized that he was just being teased upon. Where was the Kintaro that knew he was just being played around? Oh wait, he was actually intelligent in terms of academics, but stupidly awkward in terms of relationships.

He made a mental note to himself that seems to have a conflict in his mind. There are two notes, and he doesn't know which of the mental note he is going to keep. The mental notes in his mind were something like either "Never try placing a cold drink beside the quint's cheek," or, "never underestimate the power of matcha's." Either way, he needs to find a way to get back Miku's approval of him.

Miku realized that he was dealing with an internal problem, and and she decided to cut her joke out.

"I'm just kidding!" Miku gave him a playful bump to receive a word from Kintaro, who, by the way, just realized that he got played.

"Touché." He chuckled and gave Miku a headpat, which was well received by the said quint. Playing one last joke on her, he messed up Miku's hair by purposefully brushing it violently. The end result? A handsome boy with a ruffled-hair quint who looked like that he just came out of a bed and that she just woke up.

End of Flashback

"So, what you're trying to say is that you went on to a prehistoric village, and went out to eat?" Itsuki tried to wrap her head around her sister's story. Miku had to omit some of the things that had happened. If not? Let's just say that Kintaro won't be having his freedom as a human being.

"That's the gist of it, yes." Miku straightforwardly said, hoping that would be suffice enough as an explanation. How would you be able to explain to your sibling that someone had kissed you, and you voluntarily melted?

"Awfully sounds like a date to me. Are you sure it was just a hangout session?" Itsuki asked again, still being skeptical that she would "hang out" with a stranger, and a familiar face at that.

Miku rebutted. "Oh come on, it wasn't like that." The only sister that she could tell this to was Nino all the way. She wouldn't know what the others would feel when they would learn what had actually happened. After having dinner, they went to the sink to wash their own plates. Miku noticed that it was already late, and if she stayed longer than she planned to, there would be arousing suspicion for the warlord, especially with the two individuals that never learnt the truth. At this point, the only people that knew who Kintaro was were Miku, Nino, and next up is Itsuki.

"Itsuki, I'm going home!" Miku loudly stated.

"Take care Miku!" She shouted back, waving at the retreating quintuplet. Miku had her fair share of staying in someone's house, but if she were to stay much longer than she didn't want to, it might arise suspicion coming from Yotsuba and Ichika, but not Nino. Nino already knew where she went, and who she was with.

"You're not going home just yet Itsuki?" Kintaro inquired, receiving no words or gesture from the redhead quint who appears to have something occupied in her brain.

He approached the quint who was staring at the door that Miku just left. Kintaro doesn't know what was going on the brain of the girl that he used to tutor.

What he also doesn't know was that Itsuki was just waiting for Miku to vanish from out of their lobby.

"Itsuki?" He shook her shoulder, still not getting any reply.

"She's gone."

"Wh-" Itsuki suddenly yanked Kintaro from outside of his condominium to the inside, sitting on the living room together with him. They were facing each other, with Itsuki staring at him with a deadpan expression.

"W-what is it Itsuki-san?" Kintaro hesitantly asked.

"So, care to tell me who you really are?" Itsuki was straight on the point with the question, and he decided to become blunt as well.

"I can see you're still stupidly awkward, Itsuki." His voice changed, which gave Itsuki the impression that he was who she really thought. How could she forget? The voice sounded a bit irritated, but with a certain gentle care in his voice, as if he wasn't actually trying to hurt her feelings.

"U-Uesugi-kun?"

"You finally figured it out, Itsuki." He softly smiled, happy that Itsuki knows who he really was.

The expression of the quint was understandable. Who would ever thought that Itsuki was talking to their long lost tutor, and her friend that she had harbor feelings for? The sudden news that she was talking to him was quite a shocker for her.

Silence ensued, and Kintaro gave her time to recompose herself for whatever she was feeling. He was going to held himself accountable for whatever feelings Itsuki might release, knowing that she finally met their tutor that left for unknown purposes.

"C-can I please have an explanation?" Itsuki weakly asked, and Kintaro complied.

'Hm, where should I even start?' He tried to think of where to begin his story. To be fair, his life has been in hectic moments now that two of her siblings now knew about his identity. The reason for it still remained a mystery for them. "Where do you want me to begin?" he gave up on thinking where to start.

"From t-the beginning?" her voice was quivering, still trying to recover from said shock.

"Alright, here's what happened." Kintaro started to explain the events before Itsuki knew that she was talking to Futaro.

Nakano Apartment

"I'm home!" Miku announced to the household. The greetings that she received were just crickets. The awkward crickets became louder and louder until a quint went out to greet the headphone girl. "Nino?"

"Welcome back, Miku. How was your date?" Nino inquired. She was interested at what they did. She wasn't jealous that she went on a date with Kintaro. It was a plan to make Miku happy. Yes. That was it. It's not like she just wanted to screech internally that Miku ruined her plan of claiming Kintaro all for herself. Nope. Not one bit. "I assume you enjoyed it?" She gave Miku a smug smile, denoting that she might've enjoyed it more than she can ever imagine.

Miku placed the takeout bags that she bought over, making Nino feel curious. "It was actually amazing." Miku said in a nonchalant tone, having a sweatdrop from Nino's face. It was quite normal for Miku to say some things nonchalantly, especially if she was tired. True to her state, she indeed was. She went on the best date of her teenager years, after all. It was in due time that she would have to confess to Kintaro and make him choose her instead of Nino.

"Oh? How so? Do tell." Nino was now deadly curious. What could've happen to these two that would make Miku go so tired? It wasn't like they went to a love hotel and did the deed, right?

"He never has the guts to do it anyway.' Nino finished her statement, now awaiting for an answer from Miku.

"Sure. Meet me in my room later. I'll call you when I'm done dressing up." Miku said while climibing up the stairs up to her room. It was a tiring day, but it was so enjoyable that she wouldn't mind going on again with a date with Kintaro in the near future.

"Aight." Nino proceeded to go to the fridge to get something to drink. She decided to bring a matcha drink to Miku, since she knew that the brunette would love matcha. 'Let's see what she has in store.'

Miku called Nino. "Nino, I'm done dressing, you can come up here now."

"Coming!"

Nino hurriedly went up the stairs to go to Miku's room. She was deathly fascinated at what her sister has in store for her story about what went with Kintaro's date. It was going to be a nightly-gossip that was going to center around the target of their affection.

Back at the Condominium

"And that's what happened. I hope you can understand," Kintaro said, finishing his explanation to the quintuplet who was eagerly listening to her ex-tutor's explanation of what had transpired.

"So basically," Itsuki started, "You dated Nino and Miku, and gave them the date of their lives?" she hypothesized, and Kintaro nodded.

"Yes."

"So what you're telling me, is you became shameless?" Itsuki's voice was starting to become dangerous. It basically meant that Itsuki was going to hurt someone at this rate, and Kintaro had to tried and control the girl who was about to have a tantrum about how much of a womanizer he is. It was coherent that he would taste the wrath of their sister who he went on a date with.

"N-no, it's not like that!" He denied.

"I mean, that's what all boys say." She quipped back.

"Don't compare with me to them!" He persistently denied again, which caused a vein to bulge over Itsuki's head, tired of Kintaro's personality.

"How can't I?! You're the one who's been playing with the feelings of my sister! And you dare to tell me that it wasn't the case?!" She started to shout, unable to contain her feelings anymore. 'What is this pain inside my heart?'

"You got it all wrong!" Kintaro shouted, but not enough to make it look like he was angry. If anything, he just wanted to make it clear that he has feelings for all of the five quints, including the one in front of him.

She stood up.

"TELL ME THEN! WHAT POINT DO YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS?! IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT YOU'RE KEEPING MIKU AND NINO AS A CONVENIENT TOOL!" Her voice was starting to break, and tears started to threaten to fall down on her cheek.

Her mind was stating to never interact with a womanizer anymore, but her heart was screaming to stop the pain. Her mind wanted peace, but her heart wanted love. 'Please, stop this pain inside my heart!

He was getting nervous of seeing the quint about to break down. "HOW DID YOU EVEN ARRIVE TO THAT CONCLUSION?!" he was lost. What happened that made her think that he was just dating them just because they kept him company? It's straightforward enough that he loves all of the five equally, and he doesn't want any of the quints to have their hearts broken. They never deserve having their hearts broken in the first place
'I can't stand this pain anymore.' she thought inside of her mind. "IT'S BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT MY SISTERS!"

"I CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SISTERS AS WELL!" Kintaro was grasping at straws, trying to think of a way to counter Itsuki's claim.

"NO, YOU DON'T! YOU JUST SEE US AS A TOOL!" Itsuki barked back, which gave him the perfect statement to make her go silent.

"I WANTED TO TAKE THEM ON A DATE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL EQUALLY! I REGRETTED LEAVING YOU ALL AND I NEVER WANTED YOUR HEARTS TO BE BROKEN BY ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Kintaro stated in an authoritative tone, making Itsuki silent from the sudden confession.

Silence once again ensued, but this time they can hear the sound of a train passing by having the speed faster than the speed of sound.
"…"

"…"

They took their awful time of being silent, mainly because of the bold statement that he created. By then, he broke the awkward tension.

"Um, Itsuki?"

"Y-yeah?"

"S-sorry about lashing out on you all of a sudden." Kintaro apologized, which made Itsuki embarrassed. She was the one who started and assuming things after all. She just wanted her fair share of love from the one who vanished from them without a trace.

"It-it's not your f-fault, Uesugi-kun. I-I'm sorry for jumping into conclusions." Itsuki apologized as well, which made them feel better for themselves. After having a silent moment that came with a staredown from each other, they broke into a laugh. They shared a laugh since the thing that they were arguing about became pointless, since they already manage to make it clear that Itsuki was just assuming things, and Kintaro just loved all of them equally.

What they didn't know that it was already midnight.

"Oh shoot! It's already midnight! I need to go!" Itsuki said before receiving a text from Miku and Nino that she can stay over at his place for the night. 'How do they know that I'm here?' She pondered before having the realization that they went the same thing. Miku spent a night in his place, and now it was her turn, which made her blush.

"H-how about you stay for the night? You can sleep by my side if you l-like." Kintaro suggested. Itsuki on the other hand thought of the offer.

'Knowing Miku and Nino knowing that I'm here, I don't see any reason why not. I m-might be ab-able t g-get my t-time with U-Uesugi-kun.' She turned to face him and smiled like an angel. "I'll be in your care, Uesugi-kun!" She bowed. Kintaro gave her a headpat, which made her blush again for the umpteenth time. 'I need to stop blushing!' she pouted which in turn transformed into a smile.

In Kintaro's Bedroom

Itsuki and Kintaro were lying down in his own bed, with blankets to protect them from the cold.

She was feeling a bit daring, and called out Kintaro.

"H-hey, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki said, staring at the roof of his bedroom.

"Yeah?" He responded while staring the roof with her as well.

"W-were you telling the truth?' She asked, hoping that he would say yes, he was serious.

Kintaro tried to remind himself of what she was talking about. 'What is she ta- oh.' He now remembered his statement that was the clincher for their argument a while ago.

"I wanted to take them on a date because I love you all equally! I regretted leaving you all and I never wanted your hearts to be broken by me in the first place!"

He gave it a thought, while seeing that Itsuki was eyeing him down, waiting for his response. As response, he nodded and kissed her forehead.

"Yeah. I love you all equally, and I would do everything to make you happy." He said, supporting what he said to Itsuki before.

"I see."

"Why?"

"This is why."

"H-" He was interrupted when Itsuki went on top of him, and her face was close to his.

"I-Itsuki?"

"Shhh, let me have my moment, Uesugi-kun. Please." She begged. In the end, Kintaro relented, which gave Itsuki the go signal. She dived down head first to his face to kiss him, just as how she would eat a dessert. She was hungry for his lips, and his love as well. 'T-this feels good!' Itsuki thought while giving Kintaro the kiss of his life, and in turn, he was doing his best to reciprocate, but Itsuki was too forceful that he can't kept up with her power.

'I-is it bad t-that I'm getting addicted to this?' he thought, while still snogging with the starry quintuplet who was basically hungry for his lips.

After their first time kissing, Itsuki separated her lips from her Uesugi-kun, with a strand of her saliva connecting from both of their tounge.

"I-Itsu-" Itsuki placed her right index finger on his lips, requesting that him to stay silent for now, and let her do what she wants.

"Oh my? Someone needs their punishment?" Itsuki said in a voice that was making him nervous even more. Who knew Itsuki would be this hungry? Then again, she was restraining herself ever since the day that she met. Only by now can she go wild and kiss him hard to her heart's content. It was payback for leaving them all alone with no tutor after all.

They were staring at each other with glistening eyes. Itsuki wanted to have another kiss, while Kintaro was flabbergasted at Itsuki's audacity. It felt like he became the next Nino.

"I-It" he was then again shushed when Itsuki approached to Kintaro's face closer, and their nose touching. They can feel each other's breath. Kintaro seems to be conscious, but Itsuki on the other hand doesn't care. 'I want to make the most of my time with the person I love. I'm sorry Miku, Nino, but I'm not going to back down without a fight.'

Having an internal monologue done, Itsuki kissed Kintaro again, much to his growing shock.

'What?! She can still go on?!' Kintaro mentally steeled himself for the night to come. It feels like Itsuki wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Admittedly, Kintaro doesn't mind. As long as he's in the arms of one of the quints that he love so much, which is all in actuality, he would go into longer terms to make them happy.

Thus, with the night ending, countless of smooches and fervent kisses were shared. Ultimately, Kintaro felt too tired that Itsuki was sulking about the lack of energy. She wanted to continue smothering her with kisses that signify that she missed him so much and that she wasn't going to restrain herself anymore

Next Morning

They woke up the next day, feeling refreshed. Although they had a sweet reunion in his bedroom, it was Itsuki's turn to have her date. He secretly prepared a place that would make the quint happy.

"Where are we going, Uesugi-kun?" Itsuki inquired. She was sitting in front of the car, with Kintaro himself driving to the secret destination.

Kintaro chuckled. "It's going to be a secret, Itsuki-chan." He teased the excited quintuplet who can't stay in her spot without moving. The suspense was killing her.

Itsuki pouted. "Mouuu, tell me already!" She lightly punched Kintaro's arm and received a hair ruffle from the guy with whom she punched.

"We're almost there. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll love it." He reassured Itsuki and gave her a headpat. 'Her hair feels so soft.' He copped a feel of her hair without her knowing. Itsuki was just looking outside the window in the middle of nowhere.

'I wonder where's Uesugi-kun going to take me.' she thought, thinking of countless locations that might be possible for a date.

After a shortwhile, they finally arrived at their location. Itsuki's eyes twinkled.

"We're going to eat here?!" Her mouth started to drool which Kintaro admits that it was quite cute. To see a quint acting like a child is a blessing in disguise. "Let's go!" she tugged his arm. She was eager to taste everything inside. They arrived in a buffet full of cakes, including the cakes that were difficult to create due to it's state. One wrong mistake, and the cake will be destroyed.

"Calm down, Itsuki-chan, we're able to get all the cakes that you want to taste, alright?" He softly smiled to the quints innocent reaction. If it wasn't obvious enough, the reason why she kissed him endless was also because she was a glutton. She can stuff many food and edible things that taste delicious to her in her mouth, and she'd still be hungry.

Kintaro and Itsuki went inside of the buffet, and they were received by a server in the said buffet.

"Table for couples, sir?"

"Yes please." He nodded with a smile, and the servant nodded in return.

"Right this way please." He gestured the couple into a seat with comfortable air-conditioning and ambiance that could make the date perfect.

Right after being seated, Itsuki glanced left and right to see many cakes and few people looking for their own cakes as well. It included the infamous omelette norvegienne, chocolate eclairs, and even a baumkuchen.

"Can I?" Itsuki pleaded with dog eyes. Kintaro knows that Itsuki had been restraining herself from going from booth to booth in order to taste the cake she so desperately wanted to taste.

Kintaro sighed. He can't stop the redhead who was still drooling over the cakes that she's been surrounded with. "Go ahead. Eat to your heart's content. It's a buffet after all." he sent the go signal which made Itsuki go on a plating spree and took her time in getting the cake that she wanted to taste. At this point, Kintaro can't help but accompany Itsuki as well to see what taste she has. He deduced that it's going to be extraordinarily special if it was a cake that Itsuki loved. Considering her huge appetite and palate, he wouldn't have any doubts about her taste.

. After exploring the options that were presented to them, they finally sat down and had their choice of cakes. It was quite abundant, considering that their plates were full of cakes with different designs.

Itsuki's plate consisted of five different types of cake: The Charlotte, The Angel, The Carash, and a Tiramisu

Kintaro's plate consisted of five different types of cake: A Red Velvet, Five Pieces of Profiteroles, A Victorian Sponge, A Chocolate Mousse, and an Eton Mess.

They were staring at their plates, with silence covering the atmosphere. For some reason, they're still shy at this point even though they've already shared a marathon of kissing in bed. Good thing that it didn't go haywire, or else Kintaro would've have to taken the brunt damage from 4 quints, excluding his current date.

"W-well, shall we start eating?" Kintaro asked. He never needed to ask to be fair, since Itsuki went straight ahead to dive right into the paradise of desserts. True enough, he dived right into his own, though he isn't fond of the taste of the cakes that he actually picked. Eating only desserts seems a bit tiring, and if someone was eating various dishes of desserts, they'll say the exact same thing.

Kintaro was eating on his plate, when he saw Itsuki staring intently at the cake that he placed on the side, he asked. "Did you want it?"

"O-oh, it's alright! I'll get another plate!" She denied, though she doesn't even know the name of the cakes that he went to choose. Kintaro sensed this, and smiled. "Do you even know where to find this?" he pointed to his plate full of food that he doesn't like.
"N-no." Itsuki embarrassingly admitted, causing the golden guy to chuckle.

"Here." He scooped up some of his and offered to feed Itsuki. She saw this an opportunity to be fed by someone that she love, so she never had any hesitation and went straight for the spoon. "Ahhh." Itsuki opened her mouth wide enough that even the spoon would be too small for her. Gluttons and their mouths.

When Itsuki tasted the cake, a sweet sensation started to fill her entire palate, causing her to ask for more.

"More please!" She squealed at the delicious taste of the said dish. He saw that girl had her mouth already. Basically, Itsuki was becoming the trash chute that you can throw edible food, but she herself is not trash. She is just a girl who wants to be pampered, after reuniting with Kintaro.

"Sure." He scooped more of his untouched plate, leaving nothing on the plate that he placed on the side. "How was it?"

"It was delicious!" Itsuki felt satisfied that her palate was blessed by more food. "Thanks for bringing me here today, Uesugi-kun." Her smile radiated like how the sun would give it's ultraviolet radiation.

"No worries." He smile and nodded. It was nice to see that their fight turned out to be meaningless now that the misunderstanding between both sides had been eradicated. If it went any longer than it had to, there would be a massacre, in terms of emotional and psychological state.

"Oh, Uesugi-kun?" "Itsuki shyly said. She noticed that there was a speck of cream beside his cheek, and it reminded her about how a certain anime character had their cheeks be cleansed with a lick. Wanting to try out that same tactic that the girl manage to do, she tried the exact same thing as the one in her anime series that she was watching.

"What's up?" Kintaro looked at her directly in the face, swaying his attention from the food that he was eating to the quintuplet that had gain his attention. "Is something the matter?"

"Oh, nothing~" She slyly said, before approaching his face. She was licking her lips, anticipating the right moment to strike.

"What's wr-" His statement was cut short when she licked his cheek that had cream on him. She was currently savoring the taste of the cake, along with the taste of her cheeks. Honestly? It was the best taste in her mind. Not as good as when she ravaged his lips during last ight.

"Teehee~" Itsuki had her ahoge down, saying that she was on her cheeky mode, which gave Kintaro a small giggle. "If all of them would be teasing me this much, I don't think I'd survived for the next few years.'

"Two can play at that game!"

"Hu-" She was the next one to get teased by Kintaro. It was payback for the tease that she did, which thankfully went well. If it was the former Futaro, he would've turned red by now. But alas, he became a chad, just like how a certain guy became a chad when the moon was in the distant sky showing his appreciation to someone with whom she liked. He was blonde as well, but the girl was raven-haired.

"Mouu, that's not fair!" Itsuki pouted, which caused Kintaro to smile again.

"All fairs in love and war, Itsuki-chan." He said in a soft voice that would make girls melt. Itsuki is a girl. Therefore, her heart melted.

The two lovebirds went on to enjoy their date with cheeks full of cream and different cake textures, and they cleansed it, not with water, but with them eating the cream off their cheeks. If people who were single would see their chummy reaction, it would make them jealous and shout out statements clearly stating how there's no such thing as forevermore, or that love was just a waste of time. Their mindset was turning to be like Kintaro's former persona, who never believed that love was this good.

Somewhere in the middle of the Afternoon.

"So, where do you want to go next Itsuki-chan?" He had asked her while holding her hands. Itsuki was demanding that Kintaro has to hold her hand to let people know that Itsuki was his and he was Itsuki's.

"Wherever you want to, Uesugi-kun." They were walking along the road, when they saw a planetarium that was a perfect date in the afternoon. They might never have any time if they were to go at night. "How about there?" Itsuki pointed at the planetarium, to which Kintaro gazed at and examined at the place.

'Hm, it looks nice enough. Maybe we can spend our time inside.' Kintaro stared, and decided to take her there per her request. "Sure, let's go!" Kintaro tugged her along with him, and went inside.

After going inside, they saw the planetarium was actually 3D, and that it was going to show the different constellations of the galaxy, along with the infamous love story of the two star-crossed lovers, namely Orihime and Hikeboshi.

They sat down on a soft sofa, and true enough for a date, they saw other couples who were leaning against each other while listening to the explanation of the guide about the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi.

"What is she talking about Uesugi-kun?" She snuggled closer to Kintaro, and Kintaro did the same by scooching closer to her side, and started to explain since she was still stupid. Not the type of stupid that he'd be irritated at how dumb she was, but more like the kind of stupid that he would take his time and life to teach. After all, he love them, and they love him.

"You're aware of constellations right?"

"What are those?"

"Hmm." He pondered on the definition of a constellation. 'How should I explain it in layman's terms?' He tried to wrack his brain for possible explanations. Sooner enough, he found the perfect words to say to the asking quint.

"They are basically shapes that contains a certain pattern and usually depicts something."

"Such as?" Itsuki snuggled closer. She doesn't want to waste any space. By any space, she meant ANY SPACE that were separating each other. They'd look like the perfect couple that were so in love with each other. For some readers, it cringes them that they don't have a love life such as this.'

"Usually it depicts mythological beings or animals." He said interestingly, with both of their eyes appreciating the vast sky of the planetarium.

"Interesting…" Itsuki gazed left and right, trying to take in the beauty of the planetarium. It was too realistic, yet she never mind. Why? She had her Hikoboshi beside her, but of course she doesn't know that just yet. Why? She's a dunce.

"Speaking of which, it reminded me…" Kintaro started.

"Reminded you of what?" Itsuki inquired.

"No, nevermind. " He sighed.

"Mouu, hurry up and tell me already!" She gave Kintaro one of her pouts, to which he started to explain.

"It just reminded me that you five sisters are my Vega, and I was your Altair."

"Vega? You mean Bagel? What is that? Is it like, food or something?" Her stupidity made him chuckle.

"No, you dunce. It's a love story."

"A l-love story?"

"Yep." he sighed. "We celebrate the tanabata festival here, right?"

"Yeah?"

"There are this two stars." He started. "In English, they have the names of Altair and Vega, all of which are part of the summer triangle."

"And third's one Deneb right?"

"Yup." He nodded. "Tanabata is a celebration that celebrates the two lovers in the stars, which was Orihime and Hikeboshi. Altair was named Hikoboshi and Vega was named Orihime.Hikoboshi was a cow herder as far as story goes, and Orihime was the daughter of the Celestial being of the heavens.

"So, how did their story go?" Itsuki can't help but be curious. How in the world did Kintaro Uesugi thought that his situation was like Hikoboshi and Orihime?

"Well…" Kintaro hesitated to say it directly to Itsuki. He might think that she would be bored about the Star-crossed Lovers, but by the tone of her voice, it was genuinely out of curiosity. 'I guess there's nothing wrong with explaining it.' He cleared his throat to speak clearly, and Itsuki on the other hand was anticipating it already. She can't wait how the story went.

"There was this man named Hikoboshi who was a cow herder, and Orihime as the celestial daughter of the heavens. One time, the king had seen his daughter sad from doing dresses, considering that she was working day and night. The dresses mind you were a representation of the Milky Way."

'How sad.' She gloomily said in her thoughts, having her focus on Kintaro explaining the whole story.

"As that happens, the king had planned an arrangement where she would meet a cow herder named Hikoboshi. You can say that they had an epiphany what we call "love at first sight, and decided to get marry immediately."

"Then what happened? Did the King get angry or something?" Itsuki guessed, which Kintaro nodded.

"Yeah. The king was angry now that that his daughter and Hikoboshi were now married, since his daughter got distracted. As a result, he forbade them from meeting ever again."

"What a cruel father!" Itsuki said, thinking the time that Kintaro was almost fired from letting their father knowing that they failed their subjects.

"But since the King loved his daughter so much, he let them meet ONLY on a specific date. Once that date happens, Orihime tried to go back to her lover, but the Milky Way Galaxy had blocked her path, making it difficult for her to cross.

"Wait," Itsuki had been curious about something. "What about Deneb? Wasn't he part of the Summer Triangle?"

"That's where Deneb comes in. Deneb had heard Orihime crying, and they wanted to help Orihime, so they designed themselves as a bridge.

"…" Itsuki was tearing up from his story.

"By then, they only meet on the 7th of July ONLY if the sky is clear. Nevertheless, their love continued. To be fair, there's a reason why our lives are like Hikoboshi and Orihime."

"W-why?" She said, trying to calm down from a sad story.

"Because, as your Hikoboshi, I will do what it takes to make our love stronger. I will go to the moon and back to retrieve you, my orihime." He smiled, ending his story.

"…"

"W-what's wrong?" His voice stated with concern. Was that story tearjerking or something?

"Can I confess something?" Itsuki meekly asked.

"What is it?" He glanced at the clinging quint who was staring at his own eyes, enthralled by the luster emitting from his orbs.

"I'm glad that we're your Orihime. Though it may sound wrong that you love all five of us, please. Take care of us." She closed her eyes, wanting to kiss him.

"And I'm glad, that you guys gave me the chance to be your Hikoboshi, my orihime." They were approaching at the maximum moment where their lips would touch, and they will b-

"Oh my?"

Kintaro flinched at the moment. He was starting to think that some other being was clearly interrupting a fluffy moment with Itsuki, just to be kissblocked by someone.

'How troublesome.'

D: Right. Here I am done with my Itsuki fluff. Honestly, she got nerfed by the original writer, and since it's the quints birthday today, why not post a chapter on the same date, yes?

K: Speaking of which, how come I'm getting blocked all the time?

D: How so?

M: Well, there was the time when Itsuki interrupted us.

N: And there was the time when someone annoying did the same to us.

Ic: Now, now girls, no need to fight!

It: I'm hungry. Is there food around?

Y: No wonder you're getting f-

D: RIGHT! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter so far! By the by, have you seen five references of animes?

It: Feel free to comment down where you think the references were from.

Everyone: Jaa Ne!
