As promised, second chapter of the week.

Now, time to reply to the reviews! EDIT: I forgot one review, sorry Hanger!

Guest #1: Brian, you are a chad. (￣▽￣)/

Hanger2100: Handholding!? I would need to rate the story as M. That's a no-no sir. It was difficult to write kissing scenes to be honest, but hey, this is what we have! Thank you for your support.

IndraAshura: Sorry for worrying you, won't happen again (I think...) About Itsuki, I'm 100% with you there, I also think she would ne the hardest catch of all the Nakano quintuplets. Also, about the rock, paper, scissors battle... You'll see. ⌒(ゝ。∂)
Thank you for following this story for a while pal, I really appreciate it. XOXO ⊂(￣▽￣)⊃!

Guest #2: Don't worry, I'm on it! Stay tuned for upcoming updates and I recommend reading my other stories, just saying... ( ￣ー￣)φ_

'No way!' Itsuki walked as fast as possible to nowhere in particular. While bewildered she still knew she couldn't run at the hallways.

'B-B-B-But how!? Wasn't Uesugi-kun dating Yotsuba!?' The youngest of the quintuplets could not believe it. Uesugi Fuutarou, who is always arguing and fighting with her, went to look for her, and that can only mean one thing. Love.

'...!' Shaking her head furiously while blushing, she tried to dismiss her train of thought in vain.

"Hey, Itsuki! Wait for me!" There he was, the boy who currently occupied her thoughts and the cause of her internal turmoil.

"W-Why are you following me!?" Without stopping, she just turned her head to see her chaser.

"Why are YOU running! We were in the middle of something important!" Fuutarou made haste to catch her (walking, obviosuly), but Itsuki wasn't having anything of that.

"T-That doesn't make any sense at all! You should be having that conversation with someone else!" Not paying attention to her surroundings, she just kept on walking without looking where she was going.

"Hey, idiot, stop doing that!" The boy sounded flustered, but the word "idiot" was the only thing Itsuki's mind registered.

"Who are you calling an idiot!? Only an idiot would call another person an idiot!" She gave him an angry look.

"Hey, seriously you—!" Then, it happened.

*THUD*

"Ugya—!" Because she wasn't looking where she was heading, Itsuki slamed against a door and fell to the ground grasping her nose.

"H-Hey, are you okay...?" Fuutarou finally reached her, looking at her reaction.

"...!" She just clutched her nose while some tears formed at the corner of her eyes.

"Haa~ I told you, idiot."

After I helped Itsuki to her feet, she noticed some blood was oozing out of her nostrils. I decided to take her to the infirmary, but neither of us said a word until we reached our destination.

'Fuu-kun, where are you? class is about to start.' After reading the message, I quickly replied.

'I'm with Itsuki, she had a little nosebleed, I took her to the infirmary. We'll be back soon.' *BEEP* And sent.

"..."

"..."

Itsuki was sitting on the bed, while I was just standing next to her with my arms crossed. Seriously, am I supposed to confess in this kind of mood?

"...I'm sorry, Uesugi-kun." Itsuki was the first one to talk.

"No, don't worry about it, just be careful the next time." I shrugged it off. Itsuki shook her head.

"No, I mean... about that thing from before..." Her cheeks turned a little red. I guess it's time to talk about 'that'.

"Haa~ looks like Fuu-kun won't be coming." Nino stated after turning off her phone. Miku and Yotsuba nodded while Ichika was confused.

"Why's that? Did something happened?" Nino shook her head.

"Kinda? He said that Itsuki had a nosebleed, but she's okay. Fuu-kun took her to the infirmary." Nino replied nonchalantly. Ichika nodded in acknowledgement.

"Fufu~ that Itsuki. Well, this is Fuutarou-kun's chance to confess." Ichika made her way towards her own desk.

"Yeah, yeah, sure. At least I'll have my own Fuu-kun time when we go on our date." Nino sighed and just looked towards the window.

'When my turn comes, tsk.'

"Well, this makes things a lot easier." I said while sitting next to Itsuki.

"...I just have one question."

"Hmm?" I looked at her, encouraging her to continue.

"Why?" What kind of question is that?

"What do you mean why?" Itsuki pouted because I didn't answered her question.

"D-Don't play dumb! Why me...?" Well, I imagined it was something along those lines.

"Hmm... good question, indeed." She started fidgeting with her fingers.

"What's so good about me anyway? Nino is good at cooking and housework, Ichika is mature and an actress, Miku only has eyes for you, and she started learning how to cook... Not to mention Yotsuba, she's good at sports and has a nice personality. I'm not any of those..." Itsuki words trailed off.

I remember Yotsuba told me something similar when I confessed to her during the school festival. They really are quintuplets...

"Yeah, you're right. You're a glutton, you have a nasty attitude and you're really damn stubborn, not to mention you're an idiot." Itsuki face looked all flushed, not sure if she was embarrassed or mad. I'd say a combination of both.

"W-Why you...! You're not that good yourself, Mr. I always score a perfect score!" So she was mad after all.

"You're really insensitive, you're grumpy and a study freak! And you're always bullying me! You meanie pants!" To finish her sentence, Itsuki stuck her tongue out at me while making an annoying face.

"Y-You damn woman...!" Wait, now isn't the time for this!

"*Sigh* If I didn't liked you as I do, I would be a lot meaner, you know?" I decided to be honest about the matter. Itsuki's eyes widened, but she just looked at her fingers, which were fidgeting once again.

"I-It doesn't look like it..." Although she murmured her sentence, I could perfectly hear her. She was now sitting while hugging her legs to her chest.

"I guess I've been very roundabout about this. I'll say it, but I also want to hear your reply, Itsuki." Without looking at me, and hiding her mouth with her knees, she just nodded.

"Itsuki, I like you. Despite they way I am towards you, and while it may not look like it, I really like you." There, I said it. The fourth time I confess to someone. Judging by her reaction, I can tell she likes me too. Thank God...

"..."

"Can I have your reply? I want to hear your feelings too, Itsuki." At this point, I stood up and positioned myself in front of her.

"...!" She closed her eyes really hard, as if enduring too much embarrassment. Shortly after that, she slapped both of her cheeks.

*SLAP~*

"Ugh... You're right. You gathered the courage to confess your feelings, Uesugi-kun. It wouldn't be fair of me to not reciprocate." Itsuki gave me a look full of resolve (although her cheeks were a little swollen and red). She stood up too, now facing upwards to look at me at the eye.

"*Breathe~* Haaa~ I have been thinking lately, Uesugi-kun." This is it.

"You see, I was confused about my own feelings. I always thought about this whole situation as an outsider. Always wondering who would you end up with... It was a shock when I discovered that my sisters were in love with the same person, hehe... I thought it was going to be a complete chaos, were some would end up getting hurt, but... I also thought 'Ahh, it would be nice to have someone like that too' you know? No one ever looks at me. Why would someone would? I'm plain and boring compared to my sisters." Itsuki smiled sadly.

"..." There are so many things I want to say, but she wanted me to listen, so that I'll do.

"What does it mean to be in love? I thought I knew the answer to that, as if were something that could be learnt from a book. I thought it would be okay as long as we could be friends. But I noticed that won't do anymore." Itsuki shook her head, as if complementing her words.

"I like you, Uesugi-kun. You are my tutor, you are my classmate, you are my friend. You are many things to me and my sisters, but above everything else, you are the person I love the most in the world." She finally said it. Although I was sure she liked me, I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

"And... I would be happy if, despite all of my flaws, I could be beside you, Uesugi Fuutarou-kun." Itsuki smiled at me. She never looked as cute as now.

"Yeah, that would make me happy too, Itsuki. Please be by my side from now on." I offered her my hand, a gesture I grew accustomed to these last days.

"Hnn... *sniff*" She nodded, brushing her tears with her left arm while taking my hand with her free hand.

"Gladly..." Itsuki embraced me. I was a little surprised at first, but after a couple of seconds, I surrounded her small frame with my arms.

"...Yes, same here."

"I think we should get back to class, I'm alright now. Besides..." Itsuki blushed.

"I-I'm really happy right now." I wanted to make fun of her, but I guess now is not the time. Maybe later?

"That's great. I would be sad if you weren't."

"M-My, who would have known that Uesugi-kun could say such embarrassing lines." Itsuki held her cheeks with both hands, turning around to avoid facing me.

'Excuse me? What you said was one hundred times more embarrassing... whatever.'

"Haa~ You're right. We should get going." That said, we made our way towards the classroom now as a couple.

'With this, now I can just pray to be forever with the girls I love the most.'

"...Fuutarou is back." I could hear Miku when I entered the classroom alongside Itsuki. Fortunately, we made it before the next period started, so we avoided being late.

"About time, you two." Nino greeted us with a smug grin.

"Y-Yeah, sorry for the problems." Itsuki looked away from her sister. Ichika noticed this.

"Ara, what could have happened at the infirmary~?" Yotsuba tilted her head.

"What do you mean, Ichika?"

"Well, dear sister. When a man and a woman are all alone in a room, some things tend to happen~" Yotsuba's cheeks turned red, understanding what her sister was referring to.

"I-I see! You two sure go fast!" Yotsuba laughed nervously.

"Well? Did something happened, Itsuki?" Ichika turned the conversation to Itsuki, who was fidgeting nervously.

"Oh, this is gonna be great." Nino smirked and also looked at her sister.

"..." Miku didn't said anything, she just stared at Itsuki. Yotsuba followed her.

"W-Well, u-umm... M-Maybe...?" She was a nervous mess at this point. I decided to take over for her.

"I confessed to Itsuki and she accepted."

"U-Uesugi-kun!" Itsuki looked at me with a surprised face.

'W-What am I going to say!? I just stole the guy they're in love with like Shimoda-san said! They're going to be mad at me!'*

"Ah! U-um girls this... I mean, I didn't—!" Before Itsuki could say anything, Ichika stood up and hugged her. Her sisters followed after her.

"Way to go, little sister! Congratulations!"

"Hmph, about time."

"...Congratulations, Itsuki."

"Tonight we shall celebrate, congrats, Itsuki!"

Everyone gave us their blessings, something Itsuki didn't expected at all.

"Girls... thank you so much! It really means a lot—"

"With this Fuutarou-kun, you're probably the only guy in the world to have a family of quintuplets as your girlfriends, how lucky~!" Ichika said while poking my cheek.

"Yeah, I'm really a fortunate man." I replied with a smile.

"—excuse me?"

"Now, we really need to make some rules here, like a schedule for dates!" Nino stated, taking a hold of my arm.

"...You just won't let go of that, huh?" Miku said while shaking her head.

"W-What...? What are you guys—"

"Of course not! My time alone with Fuu-kun is something I won't give up." Nino glared at Miku.

"...Whatever, Yotsuba won the first date anyway." Miku replied with a nonchalant expression.

"H-Hey! Don't ignore me! What is all of this about—!?"

"Hehe~ Please take care of me, Fuutarou-kun." Yotsuba held my hand and scratched the back of her head.

"Sure, it'll be my pleasure." I replied to her with a smile.

"Wait, wait, wait! What was all of that!?" We all turned to look at Itsuki, who looked really bewildered.

"Huh? Didn't you heard? We're talking about our dates with Fuu-kun." Nino replied as if it was an obvious thing. Itsuki shook her head.

"No, no, why? Uesugi-kun is my boyfriend! You can't go on dates with him!"

"Haaa? What are you saying little sister? Fuu-kun is also my boyfriend." Her hold on my arm only strengthened, asserting her point.

"Eh?" Itsuki just looked dumbfounded.

"That's right, lil' sis. Fuutarou-kun is also onee-san's lover, fufu~" Ichika hugged me from behind.

"...I'm also Fuutarou's girlfriend." Miku joined her sisters.

"I-I'm also Fuutarou-kun's girlfriend, hehe..." At last, Yotsuba also hugged me.

""We're all Fuutarou-kun/Fuutarou/Fuu-kun's girlfriends!"" The sisters said in unison. Itsuki's face was that of complete confusion.

"EHHHHHH!?"

*This is Itsuki's inner dialogue.

And that's it! I knew some of you were waiting for this moment... Borgar Queen... GET!

Man, I just love Itsuki-chan. She has so much potential at fanfictions!

To be honest, I think Itsuki's confession was my favorite. Let me know which one did you liked the best.

Now, moving onto the future of this fic. This could be a good way of finishing the fic, it just feels like a good finale.

But! I want to know what do you guys think about this. If you want me to continue or if I should just end it here in a good (I hope) note. Also, I know I said in last chapter that there was going to be a chapter 7, but to be honest, I didn't expected this chapter to be as good (at least in my opinion) as it turned out.

In summary, the future of this story depends on you, my dear readers! Let me know your thought at the review section (or feel free to send PM if you just want to chat). Also, don't forget to read my other fics AND my original story (I haven't updated in a while, but I'm planning of doing so), which is something I've been working on for a while.

EDIT: I just remembered Itsuki didn't had a chu-chu scene like her sisters, that another reason to continue the fic, but I won't know unless you guys let me know, haaa~

Until next time,
