-u/SeanCityNavy_Gaming, Miku's Chief Military Strategist

~The Nakano Apartment, 19:45~

"Huh? Uesugi went home? Why?" Yotsuba pouted, crossing her arms in frustration. "Yeah, he said he didn't feel too good, so he went back to his family. He forgot to tell them he was crashing here, so he's bound to be in trouble." Ichika replied, hiding away her sadness for Uesugi's sudden disappearance. However, if he needed to go, he needed to go. She could at least respect that much. Nino came into the living room, balancing bowls of Yakisoba on her arms. "Grab it before it falls." She instructed, and her sisters did so. Itsuki was concerned. She knew Uesugi was going through a rough time, and him going home in the middle of a date was a really bad sign. "You don't think he's gonna try and...You know." She exclaimed, a worrisome look on her face. The room fell into silence. This silence carried on for multiple seconds, before eventually, Nino brought it to a close. "I'll text him." She said, immediately zooming to her room to pick up her phone.

Nino turned on her cell and opened up Uesugi's contact. Hey, you alright? She texted. She didn't get a imminent answer, as expected. She moved back downstairs, as she sat down her phone buzzed, she opened it and a text from Uesugi showed. Yeah, I'm alright. Nino and the rest of the sisters breathed a sigh of relief. "That means he's not going to" Yotsuba observed. "Possibly" Itsuki said while eating her Yakisoba. She couldn't shake this feeling, this feeling that he's lying.

~Uesugi's House, 19:50~

"Ahhh…...Ah! Fuck.." He cried, his scarred wrist sliced open with a kitchen knife. He covered it with a cloth, draining the blood. "This is literally the only stimulation I get other than making out. Damn it…" He chuckled, getting ready to slice his other wrist open. Tonight, he was finally going to do it. He was going to end it, right here, right now. Until, of course, another alert came from his phone. He grunted, and went to get his phone. You're lying, aren't you the message read. It was from Itsuki. Uesugi frowned, his body now overflowed by anger. However, he could use this time to manipulate the quintuplet. Shhhhh, our little secret ;) he texted back, before closing his phone and carrying on with the suicide attempt.

He was, once again interrupted by his phone, Yeah right it is was what he saw on his screen. Uesugi frowned at this Shut up he texted back. He… No he wasn't, his phone kept interrupting him. Think about what you're doing for a moment He read. Think about, no not about how we are going to react or feel, but Raiha or your Father, think about how they'll react and feel if you did this.

Uesugi's lip began to shake. He knew he would hurt his family, but he didn't care. His father was a bum, and Raiha was just...Annoying. Or, at least, that's what he thought. Don't you see? What you do to yourself, you do the same in the inside to other people around you. Another message read. Suddenly, Uesugi's hand started shaking. He was going to drop the knife. However, he realised something. The ones that were driving him to suicide, were now the ones saving him from it. How ironic is that? He looked down, as he had received another ring from his phone. By the way, we're all outside your house. Yotsuba texted. "Uesugi! Your friends are at the door!" His father shouted. He could hear them all bustling to get in. He sighed, and dropped the knife to the floor. He heard the door open, his head immediately turning to the doorknob.

The doorknob turned as the Nakano sisters flooded in, they all looked either super pissed or super annoyed or super worried, he couldn't tell. Each one wore a different emotion. "What in the fuck do you think you're doing?" Nino asked, anger taking over her voice. "What does it look like?" Uesugi answered, the same feeling of anger impacting his voice as well. "Looks like you're trying to end your life" Itsuki piped up, only to receive a glare from Nino and Uesugi. "And you give a crap why?" He responded. "Because we love you?" Nino replied. "Don't make me fucking laugh, Nino." He stated. "It hurts to do so"

Miku couldn't hold it in anymore. She ran towards the black haired boy and tackled him onto the bed. She grabbed his wrist, gagging at the disgusting, bloody mess of his wrist. "Oh my god…" She cried, using whatever she could to stop the bleeding. The other sisters immediately left to gather supplies to suppress the bleeding. "Miku...Stop." Uesugi demanded, his stern voice sending shivers down Miku's spine. She silenced him, but not in the way you'd expect. She wrapped both of her hands around his throat, causing him to choke. "Shut up...Shut. Up." She mumbled. "You have no idea how much fucking stress you've put me through. Today was meant to be fun, but no. You had to ruin it."

Uesugi now wasn't dying on his own terms, ha, no, his life was now at the whim of the very distressed and very broken Miku Nakano. "You don't understand" she started to repeat to Uesugi below her, shaking her head left and right as she did. "This entire time, you don't understand, just how much fucking stress you've put me through". Uesugi didn't know how much he was going to last. Then the grip on his neck loosened as she began to cry "You don't understand, how much stress loving you has given me, and you know, I still put up with it, do you know why?" she asked. Uesugi said nothing, it was a rhetorical question after all. "Because I love you too fucking much to let go of you, and I both HATE and LOVE this feeling"

Miku sobbed more and more, her hands that were holding down her crush's neck were now in fists, banging against his chest. Uesugi let it happen, and let out a few tears of his own. However, he had to stop her. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around the girl, pulling her down into an embrace. Miku stopped crying immediately, and began sinking into his loving arms. Well, they felt loving at least. A few minutes past, and both Uesugi and Miku round themselves falling asleep. He rubbed her back, comforting her like a mother would to her child. However, all good things must come to an end.

The rest of the other Nakano sisters returned to the scene laying out in front of them, no one really wanted to say anything, but they really had to clean his wrists. "Miku" Itsuki said in a quiet voice. The normally shy Nakano sister looked over at the youngest of the 5 and only nodded, slowly relieving herself of Uesugi's grip and standing up. His eyes were still red from the crying that had happened just a few minutes ago. The sisters got to work. Cleaning and bandaging the boy who almost died.

"...Do you guys wanna crash here?" He asked as Ichika attached the bandage to his sore skin. The five looked around at each other, confused as to whether they should or not. "Sure thing!" Itsuki responded, giving Uesugi a glimmering smile. If only she knew that her smile actually made him a bit hopeful. He let the sisters finish attaching the bandage and laid back in his bed, needing rest. Not having anywhere else to sleep, the sisters crowded around his bed. Thankfully, his was fairly big anyways. Big enough to fit five people. Of course, Miku was snuggled up against his chest, and he smiled to himself as she positioned herself.

The rest of the girls followed suit, Ichika burying into Miku's back, Nino setting up behind him and the other two just behind her. Uesugi started to pet Miku's hair as he fell to sleep. He couldn't help to think about the five girls in his bed. As he drifted off to sleep he dreamed of something, not of the present or past, but something of the future.

Uesugi's eyes shot open. He eventually realised that he wasn't in bed with the other sisters. He was in a living room, on a sofa. Suddenly, a pinkette entered the room, her scent flooding it. She smelt of daisies and other flowers. "Good morning, darling~" She sat next to him, her arm on his head. Why couldn't he move? "You know, this reminds me of when me and the others were all crowded onto your bed. I was so comfortable back then, being next to you." She sighed. Finally, he could muster a bit of courage to say something. "Who….Who are you?" He asked. The girl frowned, and rubbed his cheek. "You'll know soon enough, dear."

Uesugi didn't enjoy this answer, but he would have to deal with it. "Where…..Where am I?" The girl's frown stayed on her face. "Are you feeling alright dear?" She placed a hand onto his forehead. "You don't seem to have a fever…" she said. "So you're not sick.." Uesugi didn't know how to respond to this observation of his current health. Wait, that didn't matter, what did was finding out what house he was in.

He got up, cracking his tired knuckles. "Sorry dear, I feel a bit weird, so I think I'll get to bed." He smiled, playing along with this dream. He explored the house, loving the interior so far. He eventually found himself in their bedroom, where multiple letters and paintings were hung up against the wall. Wait, letters?! This could help him find out who the bride was! He dug through every letter he could, and, eventually, he found four from the Nakano sisters. So, the fifth would have to be….Be. As he analysed, something popped into his head. 'Don't dreams only last 20 seconds or something?'

Uesugi's eyes shot open, he was now back in his room, it was still fairly dark outside, possibly early morning from what he observed. Miku was still buried into his chest, something of a smile could be seen on her face. Ichika was still behind her. Uesugi turned his head to behind him and found the three peacefully asleep. Uesugi laid there, wondering what the hell that dream was.

Itsuki's eyes slowly opened, her eyes immediately drifting to the chest-naked Uesugi. She smiled, and got up from her spot. "Hi.." She smiled. Uesugi looked away, smiling back. "Hey." He replied. "Did you have a nightmare?" She asked, noticing his sweat and wide eyes. Uesugi nodded, wiping his eyes with his left thumb and index finger. Why did his eyes hurt so much? God, nothing makes sense anymore. Maybe he's so far down the rabbit hole that he's actually lost it. "By the way, I finally know what I want now." She laid back down, getting ready to go back to sleep. "I'll talk to you about it tomorrow."

Uesugi finally fell back to sleep. 'This is hell' He thought to himself as he drifted off.

~Uesugi's House, 8:12~

Uesugi woke up, his eyes immediately going to Itsuki. She was already up, getting re-dressed. Of course, the others were still asleep. Uesugi got up, and moved toward Itsuki. He might've gotten too close, however, since Itsuki immediately went red when she noticed him. He put a hand against his wall, blocking her exit. "What do you want, them? Let's get this over with." He sighed, beginning to enjoy torturing the wavy haired quintuplet this way. Her answer shocked him to the core.

"Can I live with you again?"

Suddenly, all of the others perked up. They didn't hear the conversation, but they knew that Uesugi and Itsuki's talking woke them up. Therefore, they were passed. Especially Ichika. Uesugi grunted, removing his hand from the wall. "Talk about it later. Right now, I need sleep." He sighed, flopping back onto the bed. Automatically, the girls and Itsuki pounced on him for warmth.
