After helping his unexpected new acquaintance, he had also acquired a job offer even though it hasn't even been two days since he had stopped being the quintuplets tutor. As it was also the last day of the weekend, Fuutarou will now face a new problem. How will he deal with the Quints at school.
"It would be a pain if they'd keep approaching me like before. I'll just try to avoid them if possible." he sighed as he climb the stairs to his house.
"I'm back" the young man said as he received a warm welcome by his sister with her usual bright smile on her face.
"Onii-chan your hair looks really good! Maybe you'd even be popular this time." Raiha said as she complimented his brother's new look.
"Thanks for the compliment Raiha." Fuutarou said as he patted his little sisters hair. "Alright I'll just put the groceries and the ice cream in the fridge then we'll eat." said the young man went to put the groceries he bought in their fridge.
"Ice cream? Onii-chan you got ice cream?" The little girl asked with slight sparkle in her eyes as she heard the word ice cream.
"Yeah, I got them from someone after helping them. I'll give you one after we have lunch." Fuutarou said giving a soft smile to his sister while putting the groceries and ice cream in their fridge while Raiha happily went back to prepare their lunch so she could eat the ice cream Fuutarou brought with him.
Meanwhile inside the Nakano's apartment, all five sisters including Nino who just arrived were present and now are sitting down at their table.
"Nino what did you say to Fuutarou?" Miku asked her sister who was sitting on the other side of the table.
"Hah? Why do you care about that nobody? I just said that he shouldn't have interfered with our family matters. That bastard just keeps barging in here and does all kind of stuff. I just did it so that loser won't come back." Nino said in a snarky manner as she continued to scroll on her phone.
"Nino." Nino flinched, looking at her sister. Ichika… Ichika was not happy. Her eyes were narrowed, a strange aggression in them as well as in her voice.
"Nino why would you say that to Uesugi-kun! He was just trying to help!" Itsuki yelled at her sister. She never had yelled nor shouted before at anyone, even if someone would take her food she would not yell at anyone.
"I-Itsuki calm down" Yotsuba said as she went to her sister to calm her down.
Her sisters were taking his side? The boy that had invaded their home. Didn't they see that this was for their own good?
"You guys are taking his side? Picking over that pathetic excuse of a tutor than your sister? Don't tell you like that bastard!"
"Yeah I do like him! He might be insensitive, rude and tactless but he's kind! He didn't stop helping us even when he saw our scores!" Ichika yelled at her sister with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I-I like Fuutarou too. It's because he has a warmth that can fill the gaps in people's heart... and the coldness in my heart was melted by his warmth."
"W-well Uesugi-san is nice and all but... he was also the one to accept me even if I was the dumbest out of all of us." Yotsuba said scratching the back of her head.
Itsuki kept quiet but had a slight blush as she heard what Nino had said. Did she really fall for him? The answer is yes. She did fall for him. The words he said that night when they went on a walk in a park, 'I shall be your dad's substitute'. Including the small date they had in the arcade, under that insensitive cold shell of his is a loving and kind person who'd do anything for family, including teaching five idiots who were on the borderline of failing.
Nino's eyes widened as she saw the various reactions of her sisters. Did they really fall in love with him? The same boy who just barged into their lives?
"And what if we do? What if we do like him? He kept helping us even if we caused him trouble. He was the only one next to dad to help us with extra work without asking for anything in return." Ichika said as she started to calm down but had tears flowing from her eyes. "He was the only other person except for my manager and my family that supported my acting..."
"He was also the only one to eat my cooking, even if the food I made was burnt, he'd still eat it without any problems..." Miku as well as tears also formed in her eyes but she had wiped them.
The silence was palpable between the five sisters after two of them just confessed their love for their tutor right in front of her.
Yotsuba was sitting attentively, looking around to her sisters nervously, "S-so Nino are you going to apologise Uesugi-san?" Trying to break the silence between them.
"Hah? Why should I apolo-" before Nino was about to finish her sentence, she felt intense glares from behind and beside her which turns out to be Miku and Ichika although their eyes are a little red from the tears earlier they were still glares.
She turned to see the other glare she felt that was from Itsuki who was sitting attentively as well, keeping her back straight and glaring at her. Why was she glaring at her? Didn't she hate him?
"I-I'll apologize tommorow at school" she changed what she was about to say as she didn't want to make things worst between her sisters.
Saying she saw that the glares her sisters gave her were gone but she started to feel something she cannot describe. She knows the feeling but refused to acknowledge that. What was the feeling might one ask? It was regret.
Why would she feel regret on the person who barged into their lives? The person she tried to get rid with since he came in their lives. Well human emotions are complex and hard to explain but for the person who's feeling the emotions, they already know the reason why they feel that way.
It was now late in the afternoon with the sun setting, Fuutarou is currently running in the park wearing a sleeveless shirt with board shorts.
As he saw that the sun was starting to set and the street lamps turning on, he started to run to the direction of the exit. As he jogged to the exit, a familiar bunny ribboned girl in a tracksuit passed by him.
"Uesugi-san?" The girl called out, however he did not stop but instead ran faster. He knew who's voice it was and he continued to run back to his house hoping that she did not follow him.
He looked back to see if the girl had followed him to that she did not. He sighed and relaxed a bit before continuing to walk back to his house.
"Uesugi-san..." Yotsuba called out as she saw their tutor who was running. She saw that he had a different hairstyle, but she would never mistake him for someone else. He is after all, her first love.
"Yotsuba-san? Are you ok?" Asked a tanned girl who was wearing a tracksuit with the same design as her.
"A-ah it's fine Eba-san" replied Yotsuba with her usual cheerful voice.
"Then let's do five more laps then let's go home. Let's go!" yelled the tanned girl receiving another yell from Yotsuba and her club mates following behind her screaming
"Fight on!" to motivate themselves for the upcoming competition.
The next morning there were various whispers between the students just outside Asahiyama Highschool.
"Hey who's that person? The one with the black hair" a girl pointed towards the person she was describing.
"Huh? Who are you talking abou- Oh my god! He looks so handsome!" Another girl exclaimed as she saw the person her friend was pointing at.
"I know right? But why does he seem familiar? I don't remember seeing someone that handsome here."
There were various whispers both girls and boys who looked at the young man in awe. He was just wearing their uniform and yet he looked a a lot better than the others.
'Looks like people they don't recognize me. I hope I don't encounter those girls this early in the morning." Thought Fuutarou while entering in the school building. After walking through the hallways, the young man reached his classroom right before homeroom started.
When he entered, all the eyes of his classmates turned to his figure, including Itsuki.
All of the students in the room were staring at him, however he ignored the stares that were given to him and went to sit down on an empty seat, confusing all of the students including the teacher in the room as they know who's seat it was.
"Excuse me, I think you got the wrong class" the teacher said to the young man as he hasn't seen a student like that since the beginning of the year.
"Uh sir... Wasn't I here since the year started?" A very familiar voice made the classes eyes widened and shout "Uesugi-kun?!"
"Damn it, don't shout and yes it's me."
A/N: It has been a few weeks yes? Tried adding some spice to the story and probably failed. Anyways, the students in Asahiyama has seen Fuutarou's new hairstyle and Itsuki's feelings for the young man has finally blossomed. What kind of reactions will they have? Will her feelings grow? Find out on the next chapter of 'This story feels rushed and getting boring to read' probably next week idk. Farewell minna!
