Fuutarou Uesugi stared at the text from Ichika.

We need to talk.

This could go one of two ways.

1. He dies.

2. He lives but takes a beating.

A few moments later, he received another text.

If you don't respond in the next five seconds after reading this... you'll regret it.

He quickly shot off a text saying okay followed by a thumbs up.

He exhaled.

What could Ichika possibly want?

An hour or two passed by until Fuutarou arrived at the meeting spot that Ichika had selected for the two of them. It was a coffee shop, one of the big branded ones to be exact. 

Making his way through the seating area, he found the short-haired girl already at a table. 

"It's surprising to see you here early." he greeted.

"I've changed a bit you know." Ichika said, "I'm not as irresponsible as I was in high school you know."

"Yeah, I can see that. You've definitely matured more now that you're a hot shot actor."

"Shhh! Not in public Fuutarou-kun!" Ichika hissed, drawing a few looks from customers. 

She quickly recollected herself. "Ahem, as I was saying... This whole thing isn't really about me. It's about you. It seems to me, correct me if I'm wrong, that you remember everything now."

Fuutarou's eyes widened. "Um, how did you know that?" 

"Lucky guess." she smirked.

"Listen, I haven't remembered for very long, so I was kind of hesitant to tell you guys. Bottom line is I'm sorry and yes I remember almost everything." He said quietly.

Ichika stared in shock as the great Fuutarou Uesugi was bowing his head apologetically at her. He had always been brash and rude to the quintuplets. But now... he was acting a bit different towards them. Still angry at times yes, but not completely cold like he once was.

"Looks like I'm not the only one that's matured." she smiled to herself. "Anyways, I don't mean to concern you or anything, but I think it's best if you let the other girls know sooner than later. After all, they all have been very conscious of the things that they say around you."

"Understood. Is that all this meeting was about?" 

"Originally. But now I'm curious, you said you remember 'almost everything,' what's the part you think you're missing?"

His face flushed in embarrassment. "Um... I can't figure out who I was going to... choose."

Ichika burst out laughing just then. "Really? The most important part? Wow Fuutarou-kun, that's so like you isn't it?"

Her bright blue eyes shone as she smiled at the young man. Yup, this was Fuutarou-kun alright. No matter what he did he always seemed to end up getting screwed over no matter what he did.

"Then... this is an opportunity. For a restart?" 

"Actually that's exactly what I was thinking-" 

Suddenly Ichika grabbed his chin and pulled him close. Their faces were inches away from touching. 

"So then maybe I'll..." she whispered.

Fuutarou braced himself for impact. They were getting closer and closer until suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his forehead.

"-just kidding." Ichika said after she flicked his forehead with her fingertips. "It would be unfair of me to make a sudden move like that. Especially to a currently vulnerable Fuutarou-kun." 

"I knew you would do that the whole time." he lied.

"You're not a very good liar you know. But... maybe sometime in the future, we could try it again." She said standing up.

"We're done here?" 

"Yeah, after all I have a gig today. See you at home."

"Okay...."

As she exited the shop she let out a deep breath. That was dangerous, her face turned bright red from embarrassment. How could she make such a bold move like that? And why did she do that? She didn't have any sort of feelings towards him anymore, she had let go of all that. 

Ever since she hurt one of her sisters.

She sighed. Now she was going to be late to her job. Being an actor was such a pain, all she wanted to do was sleep...

***

As Fuutarou walked through the sliding of the apartment he and the quintuplets were currently staying at, he noticed someone waiting for the elevator.

Casually he walked over and stood next to her waiting for the doors to open.

Only for her not to notice due to the loud music playing from her headphones.

He gently pulled one of the sides up, exposing her ear.

"Ahem."

"Wah!" Miku Nakano flinched as she pulled away from Fuutarou.

"Oh sorry, did I scare you?"

"You could've just tapped me on the shoulder you know." She pouted.

"This just seemed like the best way to get your attention."

The elevator opened. They allowed the other residents to get off of the elevator so they could get on.

Fuutarou wanted to try and break the silence that surrounded the two once again. He wanted to somehow flawlessly drop the fact that his memory returned on them.

And so... he took a deep breath and began.

"Um... you remember when we had a sengoku warlord showdown? Back when I tried to get you to study?"

"Yeah. At the time I hated you for lying to me that you knew about them. But looking back, it was pretty fun to see you studying so hard so you could be on par with me." She replied without hesitation.

Fuutarou face palmed. She didn't take the hint that he remembered all of that.

"Y-yeah and then the part where you made me eat thousands of pieces of chocolate that one valentine's day. That made me almost hate chocolate forever." He tried once again.

"Mhm... although I wouldn't blame you, I hate chocolate. I just wanted to do something nice for you." She said while checking her phone.

The elevator reached the 30th floor already.

Fuutarou fell to his knees in defeat as Miku walked towards the door.

"If you're gonna be this dumb then let me spell it out for you. Remember when we walked around Kyoto together that one day. And you pointed to all the things you loved?"

That had to get her to realize he remembered everything right?

The third quintuplet turned around slowly with tears in her eyes.

He gulped. Now what should he do?
