I originally wanted to call this chapter Tuna Roll Tsundere but it sounds kind of disgusting lmao, maybe I'll call a chapter that in the future anyway nothing too important this time lets get into it! (By the way, these opening sections are written before I start writing, so important stuff is usually in the end section)
-------------------------------------
You lead the way to the cafeteria with Nino following a distance behind you, she seems to be embarrassed about that whole ordeal from earlier, you stop for a few seconds to let her catch up. As soon as she did she unexpectedly spoke up
"Hey, are you well known around this school?" she asked
"I mean maybe, I'm not really sure and I don't really care to be perfectly honest, why do you ask?"
"Well those guys from before seemed intimidated by you, are you a delinquent or something?"
"No, I'm not, but I've been in a fight or two, so I just have a reputation I guess"
"I see" She mutters. I don't pay too much attention to it because we just then arrive at the cafeteria. I notice I see Nino scan the room and eyes lock on to a particular table.
"W-well thanks for bringing me here I guess, bye" she huffed and then walked away to an area of the cafeteria.
You watched her walk away for a few seconds and looking at all the boys eyeing her as she walked past, you let your gaze go and went to go and grab some food, you grab a tray and join the end of the line when you feel a tap on your back.
"Excuse me" the voice said, you turn around and there's a girl with pinkish short hair looking at you with a smirk on her face, she looks familiar but you swear that you've never seen her before.
"Uhhh Hey, is there something I can help you with?"
She leaned forward "I saw you walking into the cafeteria with Nino earlier, do you like her?" the girl asked quizzically.
"Well that's one way to start a conversation" I laughed "Tell me your name first at least before you start diving into my love life"
"Ara.. So you do like her?" she smirks. Looking at the stunned expression on my face she laughs "I'm Ichika, Nino's sister, well one of 4 of her sisters at least"
"Nice to Meet you Ichika, and you mean to tell me you're Quintuplets?"
"Yes we are... umm what's your name?"
"Y/N, and to answer your earlier question, no I don't like your sister, we just share morning classes and she was being pestered by guys so I offered to walk her here to save her the trouble"
"Ara Ara... How gentlemanly of you" She teased
We then both had to pick out our food each, you engaged in small talk with Ichika while moving through the cafeteria
"Well this is my stop" she said as we arrived at a table consisting of Nino, a girl with bunny ear like ribbons and another girl with headphones around her neck. You noticed as soon as you arrived Nino put on an angrier expression than before.
"Let me introduce you to everyone" Ichika insisted "The girl with the headphones is Miku, the third sister" Miku looked at you and waved so you did the same and told her your name, you guess she isn't much of a talker, you thought to yourself.
"That's Yotsuba, the fourth Sister" Ichika said pointing to the girl with a big grin on her face. "Hi-Hi, you said your name was (Y/N) right?, well it's nice to meet you" she said that all smiling from ear to ear, this girls positivity was like a blinding ray of sunlight which was nice, I feel like I'll get on well with her.
"Of course you already know Nino" Ichika laughed, looking at Nino giving me a death glare.
"I've seen enough of you today, I don't need to introduce myself again"
"Likewise Ribbons"
"Idiot.."
"Wait where's Itsuki, she should be here too?" asked Yotsuba
"Not sure" said Ichika confused as to where the last piece of the puzzle was. "In that case (Y/N), you want to join us for lunch"
"No thanks, I don't wanna intrude, plus I have a friend to see, so I'll catch you guys later"
"Oh okay Y/N, I just hope this friend isn't a girl otherwise Nino will get jealous" Ichika laughed to herself
"WHA-, ICHIKA" Nino shouted
You just laughed and waved goodbye as you went to go to your and Fuutaro's normal table. It was a small table for 2 at the very back of the cafeteria so no one ever bothered you both. As you approach you notice a girl with reddish hair with star pins sitting across from Fuutaro, you stay out of sight, smiling to yourself thinking that Fuutaro may have finally made a friend, you decide to head to a lone table and enjoy the rest of the Lunch period by yourself.
-------------------------
Third-Person Perspective
The Girls all looked at Nino who was red with embarrassment, they hadn't seen her this blushed in forever.
"Wow Nino, he got you good" Laughed Ichika who was sitting next to Nino
"It's all your fault Ichika, he'll probably turn out to be another weird creepy guy who just wants us to satisfy them" Nino countered
"I think he seemed nice" Miku butted in "Sure he looks a bit rough around the edge but he seems to not be terrible"
"Me too" Yotsuba added after scarfing down the remainder of her food. "(Y/N) seems like a good guy"
"Well he was probably being nice to get closer and flirt with us" Nino exclaimed
"You're honestly too overprotective sometimes..." Miku said sipping her juice, rolling her eyes.
------------------------
Y/N POV
None of the girls or Fuutaro were in your afternoon classes so you just counted the minutes as they went by until you could go home which was only a few hours. In that time you were thinking about the 4 girls you had met so far. You were always good at analysing people and their personality from just one encounter.
There was Ichika, the eldest who seemed to do a lot of teasing and seemed playful but also cunning in a way, You feel like she would make a good wingman with how confident she seemed.
There was Miku, who was reserved but you could tell it was just because she just met your and probably wasn't the most comfortable around you. You knew she wasn't just mute because you saw her talk to her sisters from afar at lunch. With her headphones maybe you could start up a conversation with music, you thought.
Then there was Yotsuba, she seemed the most pure and honest of the sister and you felt like she had good best friend vibes and that you could get along with her pretty well.
Then of course there was Nino. The one who interested you the most, your typical Tsundere but she seemed strong-headed and had a lot of fire in her which was undeniably attractive to you. It was easy to tell however, her opinion of you might not be the highest just due to the kind of person she is, but that's fine you thought, there's loads of time to build the bond.
You were interested in the 5th sister, Itsuki, you think her name was. Considering she sat with Fuutaro maybe she was a bookworm or really into her studies, you wouldn't really know until you spoke to her though.
Sometime later, the bell rang and it was time to go home. Fuutaro usually just goes straight home so you didn't bother waiting up for him. As you made your way you see a limo parked outside but don't pay much attention to it and just continued towards your house.
-------------------------------------
Next Chapter is gonna be a shorter one, kind of giving a background to (Y/N) and to set up the first study session.
I'm writing this on the 16th of August 2021 so I wonder when I'll bother to release it, I'll probably try and get around 4-5 chapters completed before I publish so I can have a little bit of a buffer.
It's now the 18th of August when this publishes. I'll put out a chapter per day or maybe a bit sooner until I've caught up with myself but then it'll be a weekly thing, not exactly always a week, but that's the longest I plan to have you guys wait for a new chapter. At the pace I'm going it'll probably be every few days
Anyways, have a good day all :)
