The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 45

Third POV

[Today was the day I was going to propose to Yotsuba. Out of all the girls, she was the easiest to plan for. I knew exactly how to handle this situation. I woke up early to set everything up. After I finished, I texted Yotsuba]

Yotsuba POV

[I'm reading my manga when I get a text from Third]

<Third>: Yotsuba?

<Yotsuba>: Hey, Third. What's up?

<Third>: I challenge you to a full day of competition. If I win more events then you have to do whatever I say.

<Yotsuba> You're on, Third! I won't lose to you again!

<Third>: I'm waiting outside for you, loser!

[I ran downstairs and sure enough Third was downstairs waiting for me]

Yotsuba: Let's do this, Third! What's first?

[Third pulls out some darts]

Third: We are playing darts.

[I looked over to see a dart board nearby. The game begin. He was doing very well but today I was destroying him!]

Third: How are you good at this?

Yotsuba: I imagine it's your face and I'm throwing darts at you!

[Third laughs nervously. The game finished and I won]

Yotsuba: I won! What's my prize?

[A man with flowers walks over]

Man: You win this beautiful, colorful, bouquet of flowers!

Yotsuba: Aww! How nice! Okay. What's next, Third?

[Third pointed to the bowling ally. I ran over while he walked. I already booked us a lane and got us some bowling balls]

Yotsuba: Prepare to get crushed, Third!

[He just smiled and the game began. He guttered over and over again while I got strike after strike]

Yotsuba: This is so easy! Are you even trying?

Third: I am. I guess it's just an off day.

[The game finished and I looked at him with a smile]

Yotsuba: What's my prize?

[Third told me to follow and me arrived at a salon]

Third: I'll treat you to a massage and a full make up session.

[I smiled and went straight over. I went all out. It was on his card. I'm taking advantage of it. He left and said he would be back. I didn't worry about it. He returned and I was finished]

Third: You look beautiful, Yotsuba.

Yotsuba: Thanks. What's next?

[We went to a ice cream place that sold giant milkshakes]

Third: First one to finish wins but whoever gets brain freeze has to do something embarrassing.

[Third talked most of the time. He was trying to distract me but it wasn't going to work! I won easily but I got major brain freeze. I lost on that front]

Yotsuba: I won. What do I win? Also what do I have to do?

[Third took me a cosplay shop. I tried on so many outfits. It was fun playing dress up. We even played around a little. Third disappeared and reappeared a minute later. He held a wedding dress in his hand]

Yotsuba: What are you doing with that?

Third: You have to wear this for the rest of the day. I already paid for it.

[I sulked and put it on. I did look good though and he thought so as well]

Yotsuba: Anything else?

Third: One last game.

[We went to a stall on the side of the road that was advertising the gold fish game]

Third: I thought to give you a rematch.

Yotsuba: I'll win and Raiha will love me!

[Sure enough. I destroyed him. I laughed but then I sulked because I had to take all of the goldfish with me. Raiha wasn't here so I had to hold them. It was a bummer. But I was cheered up because I was getting a prize]

Yotsuba: What do I win?

[Third took me out to dinner. I was starving. All I had was the milkshake today. I needed food. Third went to the restroom and I continued to east. Third returned but held a microphone in his hand. I was confused]

Yotsuba: What's going on?

Third: I'm giving you your last prize. Yotsuba, you are a wonderful ball of energy. You maybe too much at times but I wouldn't have you any other way. So now I will give you your final prize. This is it...

[Third pulls out a ring and gets down on one knee. I started to tear up]

Third: Yotsuba, will you...?

[I didn't let him finish]

Yotsuba: YES!

[I wrapped my arms around him and smashed my lips with his. I wasn't going to let him breathe. He was going to be the one to pull away. He pulled away first and I smiled with triumph. Everyone around us applauded and we got a free dessert. This was the happiest moment of my life so far]

Third POV

[I looked at Yotsuba with a triumphant smile on my face. I had four finished. All I had left was Itsuki. These girls were angels in my life. I'll do anything to keep smiles on their faces]
