Currently, a young man was sitting on his couch, deep in thought, 'It's already may and I still don't have gift for those five girls...' he thought as he held his head, panicking on what and how to get five gifts in less than a week for his girlfriends as their birthday is coming up in 2 days and he still hasn't prepared anything since he was too distracted on all ten girls switching from working under the Kawanos and being the tutor for the Nakanos, not to mention being their partner has taken quite the mental toll on him yet he still enjoys being with them everyday. 'Maybe I could just ask Maruo-san,' the young man told himself as he pulled out his phone to call his father-in-law to-be.
Not even a second later, he answered, "Hello, Uesugi-kun," the man on the other end answered. "Heya my future son-in-law!" A female voice came from the other end as well, a voice he recognized almost immediately. "Hello, Emiko-san?" the young man responded.
"I'm currently discussing where our daughters would celebrate with Emiko since it seems that they share the same birthday," with that sentence, Fuutarou became dull as he said goodbye to the two and hanged up the phone. 'They share the same birthday?!' he panicked even more as he not only needed to get gifts for a birthday in ten days but he had to get it for all ten girls. "I'll definitely find a way so lets brainstorm real quick," the young man told to himself as he got out a small notebook from his pocket and a pen and started to jolt things right down. 'For food... Ichika likes shiokara, Nino is pancakaes, Miku is of course matcha, Yotsuba is mandarins and Itsuki... curry and meat," he looks at the notebook then moved to the the kuints, 'They did say that they aren't picky but from what I've seen Rikka likes karaage, Aki is meat, Yuki loves sushi, and Haruka loves her spice... Tsuyu would eat anything as long as it's food...' he scribbled on his notebook as he jolted down a few more things they love like animals to stuff toys and movies.
"I got it!" the young man exclaimed as he ran to his cabinet and dug up a small sewing kit, 'I made Raiha a teady bear a few years ago and fixed up some of our pillows and covers with this kit... I'll get right to it!' he yelled again with Raiha peeking from the doors, pouting as her brother was being too loud early in the morning, where the young man prepared breakfast before getting to work on the presents he had planned.
'11:39PM...' Fuutarou thought to himself as he glanced at the clock then to his sleeping sister just beside him while Isanari was out for a night shift and won't be back until morning. He spent the past two days designing and making the presents while stared at his creations then to his hands, covered in cute band aids his sister applied as he held the needle, 'Just a little more... I should add some more details and... Almost forgot the earring on Ichika...' the boy murmured as he smiled softly, 'I hope they'll like these,' he said softly as he placed each crafted gift into different gift bags, which Raiha designed. As he finished everything needed, he sighed before slowly dosing off right next to his sister, with 1 day left before the anticipated date. That night, ten very excited girls slept with smiles as it soon will be a beautiful day.
"What time is it..." Fuutarou groaned as he sat up from his futon.
"Geez, you finally woke up, onii-chan!" a pouting Raiha poked out from the kitchen door, "It's already past noon! I tried to wake you up a few times but you wouldn't budge! Also, Itsuki-nee and the others left you a text that the party is at 6pm!" she huffed.
"Wait what?! I slept for that long!?" he panicked as he immediately stood up and went to the shower as Raiha set the table for lunch.
Getting out of the shower, the young man immediately changed into his usual outfit... Until his father and Raiha stopped him, "YOU aren't going anywhere until you change into this!" Isanari said as he grinned and pointed to Raiha, to which she was holding a more stylish outfit which consisted of a light blue shirt and trousers that matched the jacket Nino gifted him on Christmas.
"You gotta look your best for a girl's birthday party!" Raiha beamed as she pushed her brother to another room to change.
"Oh by the way, Fuutarou... You and Raiha go first since I need to get something from the bakery below," the blonde man told the two before heading downstairs.
As Fuutarou was changing, he noticed the stuff he had gotten from the girls during his birthday and last Christmas. The bow and arrows and the baking tools which he occasionally use from Tsuyu, the games and console he had received from Haruka and Yuki, Miku with the Sengoku History book and fighting style game, the cook book he got from Itsuki and the shoes and shirt from Yotsuba. A soft smile emerged from his face as he reminisced the fun memories he had with the girls. Before leaving the room, he grabbed and wore the watch Aki gave him before taking a quick look at the painting from Yuki and and the other gifts as he left. All the while two small boxes from Ichika and Rikka were hidden somewhere safe where his dad and sister couldn't find...
"I'm done. Let's go, Raiha," Fuutarou told the young girl as she nodded before grabbing her coat.
5:49pm at the Pentagon, the siblings were greeted by a tackle from Yotsuba and Haruka, who were nothing but delighted to see the young man, "Fuu!/Fuu-chi!" the blonde and redhead said as they grabbed him by his arm and guided the two to the table.
'They really love my brother hehe' Raiha thought as she giggled at how her two beautiful soon to be sister-in-laws showed such affection to the young man.
Arriving at the table, hewas also greeted by the other quints and kuints, as well as Maruo, Ebata, Emiko and Kyo, who had his head down.
"Don't mind him, Fuutarou-kun. He's still sulking since he was locked outside," Emiko told him. He could've sworn he heard Kyo said something about it being the fourth time this week yet he winced as the blonde woman just smiled.
"Happy birthday, girls," the boy greeted the birthday girls where they smiled and gestured to sit next to him but was already being dragged by a smug Yotsuba and Haruka who sat together with him at the centre as he just smiled awkwardly at the 8 pouting girls. They then proceeded to talk about the school festival and college as their graduation is just around the corner.
"Hmmmm, I really want to go to culinary school,"
"I'll be in university for a few months until I get something going with my work'"
"I'll go to wherever Fuu goes!"
"I just want to be a teacher, like mother,"
"Quite the line up... I was planning on getting something business related,"
"Mmmmmm, I'm good with anything as long as it has an art course,"
The teens continued to talk until a blonde man with a tall box enter the restaurant, "Sorry I'm late! HAHA!" Isanari said as he set the box as it towered over them as they look at it in amazement while Raiha and Isanari just smiled.
"Now that everyone is here, let's eat," Emiko said as she held a wine glass for a toast, "To more birthdays to come, happy birthday,"
"Happy Birthday!" they all said in unison while Raiha opened the tall box her father brought to reveal a quite tall cake that oddly resembled a wedding cake as the quints and kuints stood in amazement.
"Found Hayami's old recipe for this," the man said as he looked at the Emiko and Maruo who just smiled.
"I did the designing!" Raiha said happily while Tsuyu and Itsuki eyes were practically glued to the cake.
"Also, I got you guys something. I'll give it after dinner," Fuutarou told them as they smiled excitedly, wondering what their wonderful boyfriend got them.
They then dug in at the food on the table with Itsuki and Tsuyu started with the cake, which was delicious. The taste of the cake reminded Emiko, Kyo and Maruo of the past where Hayami used to bake cakes in high school as Isanari used to have a hard time on just mixing the batter.
'If only Rena and Hayami were still here... It would be just like before...' Emiko and Maruo shared the same thought.
Just as they finished dinner, the young man proceeded to give his gifts. They then opened each bag carefully, to reveal the plushies which has a decent resemblence to each quint and kuint, even having their respective accessories, Each one of them loved the gifts a lot, especially Haruka hugged it as she loved stuff toys while each quint smiled happily as they thank the boy. Rikka, however smiled and played with the plush, "Uesugi Fuutarou, the quintuplet council has decided to cuddle you in thanks of this gift!" the eldest kuint said as she hugged the boy as her sisters and the quints giggled and followed.
"Thank you, Fuutarou-kun. You even got the earring,"
"Fuutarou is the best,"
"Shi shi shi! Thanks, Fuu!"
"Darling~!"
"Fuu-chan, thank you"
"Fuu-kun... thank you... for everything..."
"Fuu-chi!"
"Fuutarou-chan, thank you,"
"Thank you, Fuutarou,"
All of them said as they hugged the boy while Emiko and Raiha took photos, Maruo and Isanari enjoyed their wine all the while a still jealous Kyo sat down.
