The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 18

Third POV

[I'm walking outside listening to music. Playing video game is fun but I'm not a complete loner. I need to stretch my legs once in a while. I'm outside listening to my music when I bump into a little girl with black hair with a piece that points straight up]

Little Girl: Sorry, mister.

Third: It's totally okay.

???: Raiha, don't go just run off like that!

[I know that voice. I see Futaro and Itsuki run over]

Futaro: Oh hey! It's you! Um...which one are you?

Itsuki: He's wearing wireless earbuds. Who else does that?

Futaro: I don't know. They all look the same!

[Raiha looks at me]

Raiha: You're Third aren't you? You're one of those quintuplet boys!

Third: How did you know that?

Raiha: Itsuki talks about you! She said the only way to tell who's who is by your handkerchief. Yours is black.

Third: Shh! Don't go screaming that!

[Raiha looks down]

Raiha: I'm sorry.

[My heart drops. She is literally the cutest thing in existence. I've seen cute video game girls but she's from a different dimension]

Third: DON'T WORRY! IT'S NOT YOU FAULT! IT'S MY FAULT FOR SHOUTING! I JUST GET NERVOUS!

[Raiha looks at me and smiles and laughs. That look could kill anyone]

Raiha: You're funny! Hey! I'm heading to the arcade! Want to come along?

Third: Umm...the thing is...going to the arcade is bad for me.

Itsuki: Why?

Futaro: It's because you're a gamer isn't it? An arcade must be heaven for you.

Third: Umm...

[Raiha looks at me again with the puppy dog eyes]

Raiha: I want you to come. Please.

[I think I just my free will just died. I will follow this girl to hell and back]

Third: OF COURSE! ANYTHING FOR YOU!

Raiha: Hurray!

[The four of us head to the arcade. I try to hold back my inner fanboy. Itsuki could see me trying to hard and just laughs at me. This isn't funny! Raiha goes over to a crane game. She wants a certain animal. Futaro tries to get it but fails. I can see the look of disappointment on her face covered with a smile. We begin to walk away. I can't let her down like that]

Third: Wait! I can get it for you!

Raiha: Really?

Third: Sure. Just watch the master.

Futaro: Come on. If I can't do it then how can he?

[I easily get the animal she wanted. I actually got two for one because: I'M GOD! I hand them over to Raihu and see her smile. That smile could kill anyone]

Third: I will win any game for you! Just tell me what you want!

Raiha: Okay!

Itsuki POV

[I look at Third playing with Raiha. It's so cute. He'll be a great father someday]

Futaro: Why do I feel like I've lost my little sister?
