The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 23

Third POV

[It's a very hot day but today I go suit shopping. I decide to wear my suit instead of short clothes to make sure that no one saw my new cuts and scars. I go to the mall to buy a new suit. I don't understand why I'm doing this. I could always get a custom one but I guess this is the part of the experience of going to your first dance. On my way I see all of the Nakono sisters all surrounding Miku. I want to walk over but it's best that I don't. I was caught by Yotsuba. It's almost she has a tracking device on me]

Yotsuba: Hey, Third. How's it going? Why are you wearing a suit in this weather? Aren't you hot?

Third: I'm just so used to it. Feels weird without it.

[Miku sees me and walks over. It looks like running but she isn't athletic]

Miku: Third, help me!

Third: What's wrong?

[Nino walks over]

Nino: We're getting her ready for the dance. I'm going all Fairy-Godmother on her.

Third: Well I like her the way she is.

[Miku blushes]

Nino: Of course you would say that. Typical boy pick up line. Anyway, Miku, let's get going!

[Miku grabs my arm and the pain surges through my body]

Third: Ahh!

Miku: What's wrong?

Third: It's nothing. Don't worry about.

Miku: Well, you please help me pick a dress?

Third: Sure.

Ichika POV

[Third has decided to join us. I'm upset that Miku got to him and decided to go bold but she should know that the fight isn't over yet. I'm the romantic one. I don't care what Nino says. I get a call from First. I kept his number because I still want to be friends. He's probably still oblivious that I already know what he did]

Ichika: Hello?

[First]: Hey! Have you heard from Third? He left without telling us.

Ichika: He's with us. He came wearing a suit and everything. Do you guys wear them all the time on purpose. He must be hot in it.

[First]: Wait. Did you say that's wearing his suit?

Ichika: Yeah. It's funny.

[First]: Tell me where you are right now.

Ichika: At the mall getting Miku a dress.

[First]: Don't let him leave. I'm on my way.

Ichika: What's wrong? You sound worried.

[First]: I'm terrified. I'm coming. Don't let him leave.

[He hangs up. I'm so confused. But he sounded genuinely worried so I'll do what he asks. Third will probably be here for a while anyway]

Third POV

[I'm Miku and she's trying on dresses. She has rejected at least five dresses. Nino though is hard at work. She is determined to basically Cinderella her. Then she found a dress that I thought she was absolutely beautiful in. She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. My face heated up]

Nino: I guess this is the one. Third approves.

Third: You look beautiful, Miku.

[Miku blushes hard. Everything was okay until First showed up dressed in short clothes]
