The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 8

Third POV

[The four sisters continued staring at me. It was creeping me out]

Third: How long was I out?

Miku: Just a single night.

[The doctor comes in and checks me out. He calls me alive but I'm not allowed to leave until my wound completely heals. I'm not allowed to leave my bed just in case I open my wound again]

Third: Is everyone okay?

[One by one each sister excused themselves]

Miku: I just remembered that I need to run an errand.

Itsuki: Where are you headed?

Miku: It isn't important.

Itsuki: Well, I'm headed to the mall. I need to buy a few things.

Miku/Ichika: I'll come with you.

Itsuki: Fine. We all will go together.

[The three sisters leave. Yotsuba walks out as well. I look at Nino]

Third: Nino, I...

Nino: Shut up! Anyway, are you hungry?

Third: Yes.

Nino: Good. I'll go back to my place and I'll be back with something homemade.

[And just like that, I'm all by myself. I just wanted to relax. That didn't happen when my next visitors arrived]

Second: Hello, Third, we need to talk. All of us.

[Shit]

Miku POV

[My sisters and I all head to the mall. I'm not oblivious to what they're doing. They're getting a gift for Third. Well, I will win since I know what he likes. I'm heading straight to the video game store. He's been telling me about a certain game that he's had his eyes on. I walk up to a check out person]

Miku: Excuse me. I'm looking for a certain game.

Check Out: Which one?

[I tell the clerk which one]

Check Out: We have that game. Can I interest you in buying a new console?

[He would like a new console]

Miku: What is the latest edition?

Check Out: Here is what we have.

Itsuki POV

[I'm at the mall trying to find a gift for Third. I don't know what he likes. Miku would but I'm not asking her. She wouldn't tell me even if I asked. I look and look but nothing screams Third. I would just have to find something and I hope he likes it. I could always go the food route. He's probably hungry. I took a chance and texted Fifth]

Itsuki: "Fifth, I'm at the mall. What does Third like to eat for breakfast?"

Fifth: "Why are you asking?"

Itsuki: "I'm being nice and getting him breakfast from the mall."

[He doesn't respond immediately]

Fifth: "Donuts."

[I quickly find a doughnut shop. I then text him again]

Itsuki: "What kind?"

Fifth: "Anything with chocolate or cinnamon."

[I find a couple of chocolate glaze donuts and some cinnamon twists. I buy six of each and place them in a box. I head back to the hospital room. I hope he likes this gift]
