The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 7

Miku POV

[I sat with my other sisters in Third's room. W convinced the Doctor that we just wanted to visit him since we were better friends then his brothers. Which is true. All of us just sit side my side beside his bed. I decide to break the silence]

Miku: Girls, I feel like we've been played.

Itsuki: So it wasn't just me who had those vibes.

Ichika: To be honest, I've been getting those vibes as well.

Nino: Oh I'm certain that I was lied to.

Yotsuba: What are you girls talking about?

Miku: When those brothers "visited", it was really them. In fact, it was the Third the whole time. We just didn't notice it before.

Yotsuba: What do you mean? Do you have proof?

Miku: I learned the difference in the brothers when you look at them at a glance.

Itsuki: What is it?

Miku: It's their handkerchief that they wear in their suits. Each brother wears a different color. I noticed it when I took the handkerchief from Third's suit jacket.

Nino: Why did you do that?

Miku: So I could have a piece of him wherever I go.

Nino: That's so weird.

Itsuki: We're getting off topic.

Miku: The handkerchief that Third wears is black. When I saw Fifth this morning his was red. Now, do any of you girls remember what color handkerchief that your JP wore?

Itsuki: Sorry. I don't remember.

Ichika: I didn't pay that close attention either.

Yotsuba: Nope!

Nino: I didn't pay attention either.

[Nino thinks for a second]

Nino: Actually...

[Nino takes out her phone. She finds a picture that her and "Second" took. Sure enough. The handkerchief was black]

Nino: Here's our proof.

Ichika: So Third has been standing in this whole time? That's probably why is acting was so on point when we hung out together.

Itsuki: It kind of hurts being betrayed.

Yotsuba: Why couldn't the brothers be themselves and had to rely on Third?

Miku: I don't know. But we need to settle this.

Itsuki: How do we go about this? Do we just go along with it or do we confront them?

[We all took a moment to think on what we should do]

Ichika: I say we play along. The truth will come out soon enough.

[If we went with that idea, it might be difficult for some of us]

Miku: I'm okay with that idea.

Nino: You're just saying that because your "brother" has been himself and you don't need to hide.

Miku: What about?

Nino: I don't need to hide either. I'm done with Second. He's a jerk.

Miku: We told you that he was bad for you.

Nino: Trust me. I know now.

Itsuki: I'm not hiding either. Fifth is just a jerk. I tried so hard to make him proud of me and he just pushes me aside.

Ichika: I don't think I can be honest with my feelings and hide.

[When she brought that up, it caught all of our attention]

Miku: What do you mean feelings?

[Ichika turns red]

Ichika: Forget I said anything.

[Oh I heard what you said, Ichika. You aren't getting between me and Third]

Nino POV

[Ichika, you will not get a head start. I need to reward my hero and I know exactly what to do.]

Itsuki POV

[Ichika, I won't let you get a head start. I really appreciate what Third did. I know I can win this]

Yotsuba POV

[I honestly don't know what's happening right now]

Miku/Ichika/Itsuki/Nino POV

[I will not lose!]

Miku POV

Miku: We play along for now. The truth will come out all on it's own.

[We hear a gasp and JP wakes up]

Miku: Someone get a doctor. JP's awake.

[None of us moved]

Miku: Okay, someone, literally move.

Itsuki: I'll do it.

[Itsuki runs out of the room. The rest of us go to his bedside. Our hero is awake. Time to make my move]

Third POV

[I woke up to see four of the sisters staring at me. This confused me a lot]

Third: I'm alive?

Miku: Welcome back, Third. We missed you.
