Brothers and sisters of mine,

How have you been? I've been great... yeah, sorry about the lack of updates since November(?). I really have nothing to say in my defense apart from "I love procrastinating". So, let's not sweat the small details! (I'm so sorry).

Before you continue, I want to remind and recommend you people to join my discord server, "why should I listen to this crazy dude?" I know what you're thinking already, so, listen here: You can read the pre-release of my newest works and updates of any current stories one day before it's actual release! (I could even make it three days!). "What does that even mean you lazy mf, smhsmhsmh" Well, buddy, that means you'll get to know about new future projects, participate and even help me decide what should I work onto next!

Oh, and you can just chat with me, although I know this is not appealing at all... (シ_ _)シ

Anyway, remember to pass by and stay tuned!

Now, onto the chapter!

Okay, so far so good. I complimented her clothes and she seemed very happy about it, that's good. People has always thought of me as someone "methodical", they're 100% right. This is my first date, but more importantly, this is also Yotsuba's first date with her boyfriend. Yeah, that should be enough reason to make the most of this occasion (although this is not going to be the only date we'll go at).

It's not like I planned the whole thing out... completely. I did chose where we'll be eating our breakfast and (if needed) a place to eat some snacks, perhaps a crepe would do just fine?

"Fuutarou-kun, umm..." Yotsuba called for me while I was spacing out. I raised an eyebrow at this.

"Yeah, what's wrong, Yotsuba?" I asked. Yotsuba kept holding onto the straps of her small backpack(?). Seriously, "purses" these days sure are strange.

"I think I should mention it but, you're my first boyfriend ever." What is this girl saying? That should be evident. I shrugged off her statement.

"I know, don't worry about that. After all, I'm in the same spot as you girls. You're my first girlfriends ever... Wait, that sounds so bad..." I scratched the back of my head with my left hand. This really makes me sound like some scummy guy who would not be satisfied with one girlfriend whatsoever... Hmm, scratch that, I guess I am said scummy guy.

"U-Umm! What I wanted to say is that, I'm sorry if I don't know how to act like a proper girlfriend for you, Fuutarou-kun..." Gradually, her intense tone died little by little, until she just looked at the ground.

"What nonsense are you spouting now, idiot." Although my words may have sounded harsh, I just gently patted her head.

"I don't care about stuff like that, I actually prefer you being yourself and enjoying our date rather than having you try to act like the perfect girlfriend. Yotsuba, I think you're fine as you are." Damn it! Saying this kind of stuff is so embarrassing, can't believe there are people that can use words as it were nothing.

"Fuutarou-kun..." Yotsuba's widened after listening to my words. Shortly after, she giggled softly.

"Hehe... As expected of Fuutarou-kun." That said, she hugged my right arm while we were walking. She looks so happy, that's kinda cute.

"You must be hungry, right? Alright, let's go get something to eat." Arm in arm, we made our way towards the place we'll be having breakfast at.

"Whoa! Look, Fuutarou-kun!" Yotsuba said while pointing towards the waitress. She was using roller skates.

"Yeah, looks kinda difficult though." I replied. I brought Yotsuba here because I know she likes these kinds of sporty stuff.

"Do you think they'll let me—" She suddenly stopped on her tracks and her expression did a 180. 'The heck?'

"Try? Maybe, who knows. Let's have breakfast first, we can ask later." I hurried her to enter and look for a seat.

"A-Ah, yeah..."

"Welcome customers! Table for two, right? Please follow me!" In the span of a couple of seconds, a black haired waitress came to us and just like that, started skating towards a free table.

"T-That was fast, huh." Yotsuba was at a loss for words. I took the chance to look around the place. The small restaurant looked pretty cozy and I could see many couples having a great time. 'I wonder if we'll also look like that?'.

After a couple of seconds, the waitress brought us to our table and got ready to take our orders.

"I'll have some rice and a cup of tea." I stated. I'm not really used to eating a lot for breakfast.

"Hmm... I'll have some pancakes and, uh... a vanilla milkshake!" Yotsuba ordered in a louder voice, excited as if she were a kid. I won't complain though, it was such an amusing sight.

"Understood. Anything else?" I looked at Yotsuba, knowing all too well what was gonna happen next.

"That'll be all, thank you." Yotsuba smiled at the waitress, who proceeded to leave and place our order.

"Eh?"

"Huh?"

We both looked at each other, Yotsuba confused as to why my sudden expression.

"Why didn't you asked her about the roller skates?" How embarrassing, and here I was thinking I already knew what she was going to say!

"U-Umm, well... I thought that maybe that was a little too much. Besides..." Yotsuba looked slightly to her surroundings.

"?" I just looked over her line of sight and saw it. Couples, lots of them. The same ones I saw when we entered. 'What does she mean?'

"I thought I should start behaving like a proper girlfriend now. I know how childish I can be sometimes..." She gave me a wry smile and scratched the back of her head.

"I don't want to embarrass you, Fuutarou-kun." She finished, then proceeded to look at the window next to us, as if trying to avoid the topic any further.

'What are you talking about, idiot?' As I sighed, I knew what I needed to do, but that had to wait.

Some minutes after, we got our food. Mine was simple, but tasty enough. Now, Yotsuba looked like she was in pure bliss, which was definitely a good thing.

"Haaa~ that was delicious, I just love pancakes! Having them from time to time is not a bad thing at all, yeah!" She finished by rubbing her stomach.

"That's good, I'm glad you liked it." Although it sounds weird to thank her since I didn't cooked the food.

"Thank you, Fuutarou-kun. It's a nice place." Yotsuba replied with a smile. I couldn't help myself but to smile too.

"Alright." I raised my hand at the sight of the waitress that took our order.

"Yes? Are you ready to have the bill?" Before Yotsuba could reply, I decided I would do what I planned.

"Ah yes that too but, I wanted to ask. Is it okay for her to try the roller skates? She's been interested since we set foot here." Once my words were out, Yotsuba's face got flushed a deep crimson.

"Ah! T-That was just—!" Yotsuba tried to excuse herself, but nothing came to her mind it seems.

"Fufu~ I see, I see." The waitress just giggled while covering her mouth with her free hand.

"..." Yotsuba just looked at the table.

"Of course, just let me talk to the manager real quick, I'm sure she'll love letting a cutie like you do some free advertisement for us~." Leaving those words behind, she left towards the manager's room.

"Fuutarou-kun—" I stopped her before she could continue.

"I don't mind."

"Huh?" Her expression talked in her stead.

"I say I don't mind, idiot. I'm happy as long as you're happy, remember? Good grief... making me say all of those corny lines..." I crossed my arms and shook my head in disagreement.

"I could never be embarrassed because of you, I fell in love with you as you are. I don't care about anything else. Besides..." I scratched my cheek.

"I'm dating five girls at the same time, if anything I'm worried of you being embarrassed of someone like me being your boyfriend." I stated. Yotsuba looked at me with a blank expression for a couple of seconds, but then, her expression softened.

"You're right. Guess I can't say anything to that, hehe..."

"Damn right. Now go and have fun." I said as I saw the waitress coming back with a pair of roller blades on her hand.

"Manager-san gave me the OK! Do you have any experience at customer-service?" Yotsuba looked like a child that just received a gift on Christmas. She nodded and then gulped down her milkshake in one go—wait, what?

"Yotsuba, if you gulp down something cold so fast you will—"

"Kuhhh~!" Too late, she was already holding her head.

"—get brain freeze... Nevermind. Could I get some coffee, please." This girl, is really an idiot.

I'm not sure how many hours have passed since Yotsuba accepted this... "work" task, but I've been just looking at her. The waitress, who's name is Haruka, comes to me every few minutes to ask if I need a coffee refill. She's pretty skilled at this, trying to make me spend as much as possible. Other than that, the rest of the plans I made for today will have to be postponed, as it's getting pretty late.

"Yotsuba-chan~! We're done for today, good job!" Haruka-san told Yotsuba who had just finished delivering the bill to a pair of lovers.

"Ah, is that so? 'kaaay!" She said in return as she made her way towards Haruka-san.

"You did great, even the manager said so!" Haruka-san complimented Yotsuba while patting her head. 'What are you, her mom?'

"Ehehe~ It was nothing, I had fun!" Yotsuba stated as she made her way towards the staff room.

"I'm going to change." That said, she went ahead after getting a 'Okaay~' in response.

"You're very lucky, boyfriend-kun. I don't see many girls like her often. Make sure to take care of her!" The black haired waitress said with a mischevious smile.

"Yeah, yeah, you don't need to tell me." I just sighed and nodded.

After a few minutes, Yotsuba came back in her own clothes.

"Fuutarou-kun! I'm finished, let's go." She said with a sheepish smile.

"Certainly. Did you have fun?" It was dumb to even ask, I could see the answer to my question written all over her face.

"Yes! I had tons of fun!" She took hold of my hand without a hint of embarrassment. Looks like she's so happy she forgot about being shy.

"Thank you for everything, Haruka-san. We'll make sure to drop by on another occasion." We made our way towards the exit, Yotsuba waving all the time.

"I'll hold you onto that, okay? See ya, Yotsuba-chan!" She waved back at us, before retreating into the staff room.

Once we crossed the main entrance, we noticed that the sun was starting to set.

"Ehhh!? No way! I didn't noticed the time!" Yotsuba looked at her phone in awe.

"Yeah, you were going at it for several hours." I said.

"I'm so sorry, Fuutarou-kun! And I was even looking forward to our date..." She replied, looking downcast. 'Such a pain...'

"Idiot. I don't mind about that, I even took the chance to review some stuff I'll be using for future teaching material." She nodded.

"Haha... yeah, that's so like you, Fuutarou-kun." She gripped my hand even tighter.

"..."

"..."

"...Besides, seeing you having fun is enough for me." I decided to tell her my real feelings as a way to break the ice.

"Fuutarou-kun..." She looked moved, what the actual heck.

"C-Come on! We can still eat some crepes, you must be hungry, right? Let's go." Hiding the embarrassement in my face, I started walking while dragging her along.

"Hehe~ Fuutarou-kun is so kind~!" Stop making this even more embarrassing!

"Just walk, okay?" I could her her laugh.

"Are you embarrassed?" Damn you!

"Shut up! Now, hurry up. I think it's almost closing time!" Using that as my last words, we made our way towards our next and final date spot, Yotsuba giggling, making fun of me all the while.

"Thank you for today, Fuutarou-kun. I had lots of fun." After our date ended, I escorted Yotsuba to her apartment.

"Don't mention it. I'm glad you had a great time. I look forward to our next date." I smiled at her. She just looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

"Y-You're willing to have another date with me?" What is this girl saying?

"What are YOU talking about? You bet I will. We're a couple now, we will go onto many places together. That's just how it works." She hold both hands against her cheeks, trying to supress her incoming smile and embarrassement.

"Y-You're right! W-We are a couple after all!" She replied a few more times in a low voice, as if talking to herself.

"Alright, I gotta go then, Yotsuba. I want to avoid making Raiha worry. See you at school." I said my farewells before starting walking towards my home. Just as I was a few meters away from her—

"Fuutarou-kun!" I could hear Yotsuba's voice calling for me. She was walking towards me this time, I could hear her footsteps getting closer and closer.

"What is it, Yo—" Before I could even finish my own sentence, it happened.

"Hmm!"

"Hnng!?" Without previous warning, Yotsuba pressed her lips against mine.

"Fuhaa~" What lasted for a few seconds, felt like hours. After kissing me, Yotsuba held her fingers to her lips and softly touched them, accompanied by a soft blush on her cheeks.

"That is my 'thanks' for being such a great boyfriend, hehe~" With a mischevious smile, she ran towards her apartment, going inside without even looking back.

"..." I was left there, speechless. I mean, I have kissed her before, but this is the first time she has kissed me herself. It really was such a different feeling.

"...Can't stand here all day. Gotta go." Trying to mask my embarrassement for the who knows what time of the day, I went back home.

'Awawawawa~ I can't believe I did something like that!' Nakano Yotsuba was a mess. She felt both happy and flustered after kissing her boyfriend.

'It's really different when you're the one being kissed!' As if to bring her back to her senses, she the elevator reached the floor in which she and her sisters where living. After a few seconds to try and get rid of her flushed face, she entered using her keys.

"I-I'm back~"

"Welcome back, Yotsuba~" Ichika was waiting for her at the entrance.

"Whaa! Ichika, what are you doing here?" She got startled as soon as she entered.

"What could you possibly mean, sister of mine? I live here too." She replied with a devious smile. Yotsuba didn't liked this.

"Yeah, haha... W-Well, I'm going to take a shower, it's been a long day!" Trying to get pass her older sister, she made haste but—

"Wait, not so fast~" —She was grabbed by the shoulders.

"Nino, Miku, Itsuki!" Ichika called her missing sisters, before looking at Yotsuba.

"U-Uh, why did you called them?" Before she could get an answer, her sisters arrived, all wearing an intense expression.

"Well, now that everyone is here, why don't you tell us in full detail about your date?" Ichika never stopped smiling, which made Yotsuba shudder.

"How was it!? He liked your clothes right!? I bet he did!" Nino was very interested.

"...what about food, is something he likes in particular?" Miku, although not as noisy as her sister, was expectating too.

"I-I may need to get some reference for the future!" Itsuki, a little nervous, brought a notepad to take some notes, as diligent as always.

"A-Ahh—" Yotsuba couldn't even speak, feeling overwhelmed.

"So, there you have it, sis. You're gonna tell us eve~ry~thing." Ichika concluded.

"L-Let—"

""Yotsuba~!"" Everyone said in unison.

"Let me goooooooo!"

Those were Yotsuba's last words, before being flooded with questions about dates and whatnot.
