The idea has been on Futaro’s mind for weeks. Every time he looks at the sisters—whether it’s Ichika’s soft smile after a long day of filming, Nino’s teasing remarks while cooking, Miku’s quiet contentment as they read together in her café, Yotsuba’s joyful laugh as they plan spontaneous outings, or Itsuki’s thoughtful debates on future ambitions—he’s overwhelmed by how deeply he loves each one of them. It’s no longer a question of if he will propose, but how.
He wants to propose to them all—together. There’s no other way that feels right, no single sister he could stand to choose over the others. His love for each is unique and irreplaceable, and he knows they’ve created a life where their bond, as a family and as partners, is what makes their relationship so special.
The only challenge? Planning the perfect proposal that captures how he feels for all five at once.

The Planning
Futaro spends days agonizing over the details. He knows the proposal needs to reflect not just his love for them individually, but also the shared experiences and bonds they’ve built together. Every date, every shared meal, every laughter-filled evening—they all contributed to this moment. He wants something intimate, something that celebrates them as a family, and something that surprises them.
One evening, while sitting in his room, he has an idea: an intimate, personal proposal at the very place where it all started—their home. Not in some grand, public setting, but in the space they’ve made together, where they’ve shared countless memories and grown closer every day.
He sets his plan in motion, with each detail carefully crafted to ensure it’s perfect.

The Rings
Futaro decides to get custom rings—five simple but elegant rings that symbolize their bond. He spends hours talking with the jeweler, explaining the significance of each sister’s personality and making sure the design reflects their unique traits. Ichika’s ring has a delicate, artistic engraving, representing her creativity. Nino’s has a bold and confident design. Miku’s is understated, with a subtle floral pattern. Yotsuba’s features a playful, swirling design, while Itsuki’s has a scholarly and refined finish.
Each ring is different, yet they all fit together as part of a set, just like the sisters themselves.

The Perfect Night
On the night of the proposal, Futaro prepares the house with care. The living room is lit with soft candlelight, creating a warm, intimate glow. Fresh flowers—each sister’s favorite—are placed around the room. He prepares a meal with all their favorite dishes, even enlisting Nino’s help to get the recipes just right.
It’s a quiet, ordinary evening. The sisters have no idea what he’s planning as they gather together for dinner, just as they always do on weekends. They laugh, talk about their week, and enjoy the meal Futaro has prepared for them, not suspecting the significance of the night.
As they finish dessert, Futaro clears his throat, his heart pounding in his chest. The moment has arrived.
“Hey, um, can I have a moment?” he asks, his voice steady despite the nervous energy coursing through him.
The sisters look up, curious. There’s a sudden stillness in the air, a sense that something is about to happen.
“What’s up, Futaro?” Ichika asks, her tone playful as always.
He stands, pulling five small velvet boxes from his pocket and placing them gently on the table in front of them. The sisters’ eyes widen in surprise as they look from the boxes to Futaro, a wave of realization washing over them.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time,” he begins, his voice soft but sure. “I love all of you. Not just one of you. All of you. And I can’t imagine my life without every single one of you in it.”
The room is silent, the sisters’ gazes fixed on him. There’s a mixture of shock, excitement, and anticipation in the air.
“We’ve built something special together. Something I never thought I’d be lucky enough to have. You’ve all changed my life in ways I can’t even begin to describe. And I know this is unconventional, but our relationship has never been conventional, has it?” He smiles, the warmth of his words filling the room.
“I don’t want to choose between you, because I love you all equally. So…” Futaro takes a deep breath, opening each of the boxes to reveal the five rings, glinting softly in the candlelight. “I’m asking all of you. Will you marry me? Will you stay with me, together, as we are now? For the rest of our lives?”

The Response
For a few moments, there’s nothing but stunned silence. The sisters exchange glances, processing the gravity of what’s just happened. Ichika is the first to break the silence, her eyes shimmering with tears as she lets out a breathless laugh.
“You really are full of surprises, Futaro,” she says softly, stepping forward to look at the ring with trembling hands. “I… I didn’t expect this, but yes. Of course, yes.”
Nino wipes at her eyes, her usual fiery attitude softening as she reaches for her ring. “You’re really something, Futaro. You know that? Yes, I’ll marry you, idiot.”
Miku’s face is flushed, her fingers brushing over the delicate floral design of her ring. She doesn’t speak at first, simply nodding as tears slip down her cheeks. “I love you, Futaro,” she whispers, barely audible. “Yes.”
Yotsuba lets out a joyful laugh, her whole body buzzing with energy as she grabs Futaro and pulls him into a tight hug. “This is so exciting! I can’t believe you pulled this off! Yes, yes, yes!”
Itsuki, always composed, stands last. She’s silent for a moment, then looks at her sisters, each of them beaming, tears of happiness in their eyes. Finally, she turns to Futaro with a soft, sincere smile. “We’re family, and that’s what matters. Yes, Futaro, I’ll marry you.”

A Shared Future
As the sisters each slip their rings onto their fingers, Futaro feels an overwhelming sense of relief and joy wash over him. They gather around him, embracing him from all sides, and in that moment, he knows that they are his family, his partners, for life. There’s no doubt in his heart that this is what he was meant to do.
The night is filled with laughter, tears of joy, and soft words of love. They spend the rest of the evening curled up together in the living room, talking about their future, about how they’ll navigate the unconventional path ahead of them, about their dreams, their hopes, and their shared life.
It’s a future filled with love, with challenges, and with the support of the strong bond they’ve built as sisters and as partners. And as they hold each other close, rings glinting in the soft light, Futaro feels that everything has fallen perfectly into place.
This is their family, their love, and their future, and he couldn’t be happier.
