Chapter 1
During a sunny day, Fuutarou was walking the usual road to reach Asahiyama with a frown on his face. The day before, he was rude to his new female classmate who happened to be also the girl that he was supposed to tutor by following what Raiha told him.
'Ugh, now I have to find a way to apologize and convince her to study with me. But it won't be easy since she ignores me.', he thought, sighing at remembering how Itsuki looked away when he greeted her in class. He didn't tell his family about her, as he wanted to apologize to her first; after all, he didn't want to be reprimanded by his family for being rude to a girl.
Anyways, the walk towards his school didn't take too long, so after passing through the gates and changing his shoes once he entered in the building, he directed himself towards his classroom.
As expected, he didn't greet anyone along the way because his mind was more focused on finding a way to apologize to the gluttonous girl. In fact, when he arrived to his class and sat at his desk, he tried to greet Itsuki once she arrived as well after some minutes, only to be ignored again.
'Oh come on! I was just worried that she was eating too much. I didn't call her fat.', he thought, grimacing and frowning angrily. Some of his classmates noticed his expression and trembled in fear, as the boy's face was pretty scary when he was angry. So scary that even the teacher felt fear when he arrived to start the lesson.
Though, Fuutarou dropped his expression and simply concentrated on taking notes to their relief, even if his annoyance didn't diminish at all. He took some glances at Itsuki too, noticing how she had difficulty in following the teacher's lesson.
'Now I see why she asked me to tutor her and why her father decided to hire me. I must find a way to make up with her somehow.', he thought, planning to have lunch with her later in the canteen. It wasn't like he wanted to make friends with her and then fall in love, but he really needed the job to help his family with the debts.
The morning lessons went on normally in all Asahiyama's classes, and each student started to walk towards the canteen once it was lunch time. The golden eyes boy reached that place and took his standard yakiniku without meat dish, beginning to search for Itsuki with his eyes.
To his joy, he found her and started to approach her, but he noticed that she was already eating with other 4 girls that were kinda identical to her. 'I don't want to attract more attention, so I will approach her another time when she's alone.', he thought, sighing and starting to walk towards an empty table. He didn't notice that one of the girls at Itsuki's table saw him, noticing also something falling from his pocket.
When he sat down at his table, Fuutarou brought his hands in a thinking pose and closed his eyes. 'How should I approach her without attracting too much attention? Meeting her on the rooftop? At the end of the lessons maybe?', he started to think, unaware of a girl sitting in front of him.
"Fuutarou-kun?", she said to call him, trying to catch his attention but in vain.
She tried again, "Fuutarou-kun?"
Seeing that he didn't hear her, she pouted and exclaimed, "Mouu, notice me!"
Her louder voice managed to make the boy stop his train of thoughts and open his eyes, which met a pair of blue orbs belonging to a cute girl with short red hair and black butterfly ribbons. "Huh? W-who are you? And how do know my name?", he asked her, blushing because she was awfully close to his face.
"Hehe, you finally noticed me. My name's Nino Nakano and I saw this test on the ground that belonged to you. You must be really smart for scoring 100 points!", she told him, changing her pout into a bright smile.
"O-oh, I see. Well, thank you then.", he said, scratching the back of his head.
"You're welcome. Say, why are you eating here alone?", she asked him, keeping her face very close to his.
"I'm just used to have lunch by myself, that's all. Also, aren't you too close to my face?", he replied , making a question too.
Nino giggled, "Hehe, are you flustered, Fuutarou-kun? I don't see anything wrong in being close to a cute guy like you."
The young man gasped when she said that, with a lot of students around them remaining shocked as well, with Itsuki and the other 3 girls eating with her remaining surprised. Some male students felt envious of Fuutarou, as it was the second time he was interacting with a beautiful girl.
"T-thank you for the compliment, but shouldn't you go back to your table?"
"It's fine, I will stay here with you.", she told him, continuing to smile.
"Huh? Why?"
"Let's say that I don't know this school so well, so could you show me around later, Fuutarou-kun? I want to know you better too."
Her reply caused him to be shocked again and he was about to say something else before focusing his gaze more on her face and noticing something. "W-wait, are you and Itsuki twins? Your face is identical to hers."
"Ara, you have a good eye. Yeah, she's my sister, even if the truth is that she and I are quintuplets.", she said, leaving Fuutarou speechless.
'Q-Quintuplets? That's why Raiha said that Dad's friend would pay me 5 times. Which means that I have to tutor not just a girl, but 4 more.', he thought, frowning before at how the situation changed.
"I see, so there are other 3 girls identical to you and your sister. I didn't expect it.", he said, scratching the back of his head.
"I know, it can be shocking for sure. Anyways, can you show me here around?", she asked, looking directly into his eyes. The young man didn't really want to show her inside the school, but since he had to teach her and her sisters and she seemed to have a liking to him already, he accepted her request.
Happy that he accepted, Nino smiled brightly and waited that he finished his lunch, which made her upset because she didn't like seeing him eating so poorly, before starting to follow him to see around the school and shocking her sisters and every other student again.
The butterfly ribbons girl walked by Fuutarou's side during the tour, asking him some questions about him like his music, the things he liked and more. He didn't really want to tell her about himself, but thinking that it could be a good idea to get along more with her, he replied to all her questions sincerely. Being a person that hated lies, he couldn't afford to be dishonest.
"Do you have a girlfriend, Fuutarou-kun?", suddenly asked him Nino, making him blush.
"Ehh?! N-no, I don't. Why do you want to know it?", was his reaction.
"I'm just curious hehe.", she replied, giggling at seeing him embarrassed.
"But that's a waste, you're so handsome and smart after all.", she added, making the boy blush even more. He didn't expect her to compliment him like that, but that didn't mean that he didn't like it.
"Thank you, I guess. Since lunch time is about to end, I will return to my class. You should do the same.", he told her, starting to leave.
But before he could make another step, Nino hugged him, making him blush. "W-what are you doing?"
"I'm just thanking you for showing me here around. It's too bad that we're not classmates because you're a nice person, Fuutarou-kun.", she told him, smiling at him.
"A-Actually, I will be your and your sisters' tutor as it seems.", he said, making Nino's blue eyes widen.
"Ehhh? Really?! That's wonderful! I prefer having a handsome guy like you as tutor than an old grumpy one hehe.", she said, giggling and hugging him more.
'She's really this happy that I will tutor her and her sisters? W-wow, her liking for me is incredible.', he thought, blushing because some students caught him being hugged by the butterfly ribbons girl.
"If you're so enthusiastic about it, then I guess that we can meet after school in order to go to your house."
"We're going to start studying together today? That's fantastic! Then see you later, Fuutarou-kun.", she said, stopping to hug him and waving her hand to him while leaving, with him greeting her back.
Though, he was still flushed because of her hug, as it was the first time a girl hugged him in his entire high school student's life. To his annoyance, the students that saw him and Nino whispered something between themselves, which meant that more rumours about him were about to be spread inside the whole school.
Sighing, he proceeded to walk back towards his class, inside of which he had a lot of eyes pointed at him, including those of Itsuki that was frowning. 'Great, the rumours have already reached my classmates' ears. Just great.', he thought, sighing while sitting down at his desk.
Since the teacher wasn't present yet, some girls and boys approached him and asked, "Was that girl your girlfriend, Uesugi-kun?"
"You had a secret girlfriend that transferred here at our school, huh?"
Before their implications, the boy blushed and said, "I-It's not like that! She just asked me to show her around the school."
"And why did she hug you then, dude?", asked him a boy.
"It's because she wanted to thank me like that, that's all.", he replied, touching his bangs.
"Hehe, it looks more like she likes you, Uesugi-kun.", teased him a girl, making him blush again. Meanwhile, Itsuki watched the entire whole in bewilderment and shock.
'N-Nino hugged him? Why?', she asked herself in her mind, not understanding why her sister took such a liking to the rude boy. The ahoge girl was still annoyed at him for his behavior when they first met, but the fact that Nino liked him and even hugged him made her kinda jealous, as she thought that he was nicer with her sister than with her.
Of course, Itsuki was in for a surprise after the end of the lessons when Fuutarou would reveal to be the tutor hired by her father for her and her sisters. Her sisters would be surprised as well, except for Nino that knew and was already happy to have the boy as tutor.
Speaking of him, he managed to make his classmates stop asking him questions by pointing that the teacher arrived, so he sighed in relief when they went back to their desks. Nonetheless, he was annoyed by the fact that they were going to tease him about Nino from now on, as he didn't like attracting too much attention on himself.
Anyways, that didn't stop him from concentrating on the lesson like the top student he was, taking notes and answering to the teachers questions always correctly. Some of his classmates smiled because they thought that being hugged by a beautiful girl pushed him to do more than his best, with Itsuki admiring him and being envious of him at the same time instead. She really wanted to be smart like him, after all.
The lessons went on like that until the very end, so Fuutarou left his classroom to go towards the gates. "Fuutarou-kun, we're here!", called him a familiar voice, which made him look forward to see a smiling Nino accompanied by 3 girls identical to her but with some differences.
One of them had shorter hair than Nino and a right earring, another one had longer hair and a pair of blue headphones around her neck and the third had hair long like Nino's but with a green bunny ribbon as accessory.
"Ara ara, so you're the boy that will tutor us? Nino was right in saying that you're handsome.", said first girl, giggling.
"Another student as our tutor? That's strange.", said the headphones girl with a neutral face.
"Nice to meet you, Uesugi-San! My name's Yotsuba and they're Ichika and Miku! I'm happy that you will be our tutor, as Nino said that you're really smart!", told him the bunny ribbon quint, presenting herself and her sisters cheerfully."
"Huh?! Uesugi-kun is our new tutor?!", exclaimed a shocked Itsuki upon arriving and hearing what her sister said.
"Nice to meet you all. It's better I explain everything to you during the way to your house.", said the boy calmly. The quints except for Nino were surprised by his words, so they simply nodded and started to walk with him towards their house.
The butterfly ribbons girl walked by his side during this while he talked with her and her sisters to know them better and explain how their father hired him. "Wow, so your dad and ours are friends, Fuutarou-kun? That makes us closer then!", said Nino, getting closer indeed to him.
"Despite that, I won't study with you, Uesugi-kun. I accept your apology, but I will study on my own.", said Itsuki, pouting and making him deadpan.
"I'll do the same. I don't think that a student like us can tutor me.", said Miku instead.
"Don't be rude to him, you two! He's a hundred times better than some old fart!", exclaimed Nino, annoyed by their words and surprising Ichika and Yotsuba.
'Fufu, it seems that my sister took a great liking to him. Interesting.', thought the eldest quint, smiling. She was surprised after hearing about Nino hugging the boy at school, but seeing her actual behaviour convinced her that she liked the boy very much.
As far as she knew, Nino had never been clingy and affectionate to a boy, as she had been asked out during middle school and when they were in Kurobara by a lot of guys that got rejected. But there she was, keeping no distance from Fuutarou and getting angry at Itsuki and Miku for not accepting to be tutored by him.
Yotsuba was stunned too because of her behaviour, starting to think that Nino was attracted to the young man and liked him already. She found it really nice, so she was glad that her older sister liked their new tutor that blushed upon hearing Nino's praise.
"Don't fight, you 3. I won't force anyone of you to study with me, but since I want to know your level of knowledge, I decided to make all of you 5 take a mock exam at your house. If one of you manages to score at least 50 points, I won't tutor her.", said the top student, still blushing but keeping a serious face.
"Ehh? We must take a test in our house?", asked Yotsuba, with her bunny ears falling.
"It's to see which subjects you struggle with, Yotsuba."
The girl and her sisters were surprised at how he called her by first name without mistaking her for one of her sisters. "How didn't you confound her with one of us, Fuutarou?", asked a curious Miku.
"You 5 have identical faces but different accessories and hairstyles, so it's not hard to distinguish you, Miku.", he replied, making the girl blush. It was the first time that a boy called her with her first name after all.
"Hehe, so you're able to tell us apart? I'm liking you already, Mr. New Tutor.", teased him Ichika, making him scratch the back of his head.
The 6 students continued to walk and chat together for 20 minutes before they arrived to a giant building in the center of Tokai: the Pentagon. "Tada! We live on one of the last floors of this building, Uesugi-San!", told him Yotsuba, making him more bewildered.
"W-wow, this place is huge. Your father must be really rich.", he said still stunned.
"Papa is indeed a rich doctor that owns a big hospital here in this city. Anyways, let's go, Fuutarou-kun.", said Nino, breaking off his trance state by clinging on his arm and walking together inside the building.
"H-hey!", he said, blushing and frowning while the other quints were stunned again at seeing the social butterfly's behaviour.
Though, they didn't mind it too much and followed her and the boy inside the Pentagon to take the elevator and reach the right floor. Once they arrived there, they walked towards a door with the name Nakano written on it, with Itsuki opening it.
Fuutarou's golden eyes were met with a big apartment that included a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and stairs that brought to the upper floor, where there were 5 bedrooms and another bathroom. Saying that he wasn't surprised and jealous of their hourse would be a lie, and in fact, Nino noticed his expression and giggled.
"Hehe, what do you think of our house?", she asked him, clinging on his arm again.
"I-I must say that it's fantastic. No kidd-Why are you clinging on me?", he replied, blushing because of her action.
"I don't see anything wrong with this. After all, I've already hugged you.", she said, tightening her hold and pressing her chest on his arm.
"N-Nino! What kind of attitude is that?!", scolded her Itsuki, flustered.
"What? Fuutarou-kun doesn't mind me clinging on him."
"Just take the test that I made for you 5, alright?", proposed the young man, smiling and sweatdropping. To his relief, that stopped the incoming discussion between them, but not Nino from continuing to latch onto him.
Of course, he wasn't bothered by that, but he couldn't help get embarrassed; not only the girl hugged him at a school before other students, but she was clinging on him too.
'She also asked me if I have a girlfriend. This girl is clearly interested in me, but how?', he thought, reaching a conclusion. Despite he had never had a girl that liked him, he wasn't dense and could see that Nino was interested in him. The only thing he didn't understand was the reason behind her interest, as he didn't think to have great characteristics that could attract a girl.
Though, he didn't put more thought into it because he focused his attention on how the girls were taking their tests, seeing already a sleeping Ichika, Yotsuba having steam of overwork coming out of her head and Itsuki pouting that made him frown.
Such frown turned into a disappointed expression after they finished their tests and he corrected them, not happy of their results:
Ichika: 12
Nino: 20
Miku:26
Yotsuba:8
Itsuki:22
"Seriously, how did you 5 score so low? This is absurd!", was his reaction at seeing their grades, causing the girls to blush embarassed or look dejected of themselves.
"I-It's just that a lot of questions of the test were difficult.", said Yotsuba, smiling awkwardly.
"Huff, I guess that I have a lot of work to do with you 5.", said the young man, putting a hand on his forehead and sighing.
Suddenly, he felt someone patting his back and it happened to be Nino. "Don't worry, Fuutarou-kun. I'm sure that we will do better with your help. How about you sit down and I bake some cookies for everyone? I'm very good at cooking.", she told him, winking at him.
"Cookies, huh? That would be nice. Thank you.", he replied, making her giggle.
So, while the social butterfly went to the kitchen, the young tutor proceeded to check with the other quints the mistakes they made on the mock exam, but Itsuki decided to check them by herself because she still didn't want to be taught by him.
Miku, on the other hand, seemed to have accepted to study with him, as she liked the fact that he told her apart from her sisters earlier. He also looked a nice person to her despite his sharp golden eyes, and maybe she understood why Nino had already a liking to him.
Speaking of her, the second oldest quint brought a big plate of cookies to the table and a bottle of cola with plastic glasses for everyone, sitting right next to the boy. "Here are the cookies! Try one, Fuutarou-kun.", she said, offering the plate to the boy.
"Oh, thanks. Wow, this tastes great.",he said instead after biting a biscuit.
"I told you that I'm a great cook, so be free to eat all the cookies you want, handsome."
Being called like that made him blush while the other quints were surprised. "Ara ara, Fuutarou-kun is all red because of what you told him.", teased Ichika, making the boy hide his red cheeks with one hand.
"S-shut up, sleepy head!", he said, making her pout while her sisters giggled.
Anyways, he ate some more cookies and drank some cola while showing Nino and the others their mistakes, telling them also that would prepare a study plan designed for every one of them. "I told you that I don't want to study with you, Uesugi-kun."
"That doesn't mean that I won't try to help you anyways. So even if you don't want my help, I will insist.", he told her seriously, making her blush a little for how assertive he was.
Still, he checked the time and saw that it was almost 6 pm, so he said that he had to go home because it was late. "Ehhh? C-can't you stay a bit more?", asked him Nino, clutching on his arm.
"I-I would like to, but my family waits for me to have dinner.", he answered, making her pout.
"Make sure to revise your tests, you 5. The first step to ameliorate is to see your mistakes in order to not make them again. Never forget it.", he told them all while putting his notebook and pencils back in the bag and getting up from his seat.
"I will see you tomorrow then, girls. Have a nice dinner.", he said while starting to approach the door and exiting from it.
"Mouu, I wanted that he stayed a little more.", complained Nino, pouting.
"Hehe, you like our new tutor so much?", asked her Ichika.
"He's cute, smart and nice too. So yeah, I find him very interesting.", replied the social butterfly, smiling and touching her red cheeks while Miku, Itsuki and Yotsuba were stunned.
Never before had their sister such a big interest for a boy, and it seemed that their new tutor happened to be the lucky guy. It was like Nino was already in love with him or something like that, which made them way more bewildered.
Once he left the Pentagon, Fuutarou had to walk a long distance to go home, which left him a bit tired after 30 minutes of walking to arrive to a poor apartment complex. Climbing some stairs, he reached a door and opened it with a key while saying "I'm home!"
"Nii-San!", exclaimed a young girl with black hair and green eyes that came out from the kitchen, hugging him.
"Yo, Reina.", he said to her, patting her head.
"Ah! No fair, Reina! I want to hug Onii-chan too!", exclaimed another black haired girl but with a ponytail on top of her head and golden eyes that hugged him too.
"Hehe, we know pretty well that I'm Nii-San's favorite.", said Reina, smiling smugly.
"No! Onii-chan prefers me!", said Raiha, pouting.
'And here we go again.', he thought, chuckling and sweatdropping at the usual discussion between his two twin little sisters. Raiha and Reina were in fact born on the same day and always competed to be his favourite little sister, so he was used to see them arguing.
"Oh, fighting for your big brother's affections as usual? You two are always the same haha.", said another person, who happened to be a handsome blond man with green eyes.
"Yo, Dad. It looks like your friend doesn't have just a daughter I have to tutor, but 4. And one of them seems to like me too.", said Fuutarou to Isanari, making the blonde gasp while Reina and Raiha's eyes beamed.
"Ehhh? Onii-chan has 5 girls as students and one of them likes you?!"
"Who is it, Nii-San?!", they asked him, smiling brightly at him and still hugging him.
"I will tell you everything while we have dinner.", he replied, patting their heads and making them giggle.
The whole Uesugi family started then to prepare the table, with Raiha and her sister finishing to cook the curry udon for everyone. When everything was ready, the two twin girls sat next to their brother and started to aske him like Isanari did about his students and the one of them that was interested in him.
They were shocked when he said that they were quintuplets and that lived at the Pentagon, but when he told them bashfully about Nino's behaviour, Isanari chuckled. "Haha, she told you that you're cute and she also hugged you? Good job, son!", said the blonde man while drinking beer.
"Nii-San, is Nino-San your girlfriend?", asked him Reina curiously.
"Huh? N-no, she's just a friend."
"But she has a great liking to you, Onii-chan! That means she loves you already hehe.", told him Raiha, hugging his arm and making their sister pout.
"Nii-San prefers my hugs more!", said Reina, latching on his other arm and starting a glaring contest with the golden eyes little girl.
Fuutarou sighed before their typical attitude, frowning and blushing because of his father teasing him about the quints and especially Nino. It seemed that a lot of funny and embarrassing moments awaited him in his life from now on, and all of them would include his new but stupid students. Especially the one with butterfly ribbons that looked to have the hots for him already somehow.
A/N
Are? What's this? Another story? Yes, it is, everyone! This one is an AU where Fuutarou has not only a little sister, but two that happened to he twins that fight for being his favorite. This allowed him to be already familiar with twins and able to distinguish the quints better as you can read, and speaking of them, the second oldest one has shown to have already a big liking for him haha.
Nino is short haired in this story and seems to be attracted to Fuutarou upon seeing him for the first time, arriving to be clingy with him immediately as the train of love that she is haha. As you can see, this is going to be a Fuutarou x Nino story but with harem and comical moments too, and the title is inspired to the name of Nino's character song for season 2 of the anime.
Don't worry about my other stories, if I completed two of them then I will do the same for each one. Abandoning them is out of question, after all. Anyways, what's going to happen now that Fuutarou's the new tutor for the quints? Will he end up in other embarrassing situations because of Nino perhaps? Get tuned to find it out.
See ya!
