Good luck.

Enjoy.

(FN) was nervous as Miku was leading him to the limo. When five sisters the same exact age and in the same school have a number of troubles. Food, space, time, boys, and everything else. Though despite the obvious in day to day life, they all love and put up with each other thick and thin. With the situation at hand there was trouble on the horizon for the boy. What would the personality be of the sisters? He was trying to think past the extremes. The shy, the angry and demanding, the horny, and the snob. Eep...

He gets in and sits on the edge with Miku on his right. The other girls are kicking back to the right of Miku and across facing them. Two rows of seating facing each other. In front of (FN) was a girl with medium length hair with ribbons in it. Her arms were crossed as she was wondering who this new guy was that was with her sister. The precious one. 

"Hi girls." He waved.

"I'm Nino. So, what's your name?" Asked the girl across from him. 

"(FN) (LN). Miku said she mentioned me." He replied. 

"Do you know Father?" She asked. 

"My father Eito might. But I have never met him. Is it Maruo?"

"Ohhh, so you are that boy." Giggled a girl on the end where he was sitting. "I'm Ichika. I stopped by your homeroom to say hello to your friends. They were quite nice."

"Nice to meet you too. So I take it you know who my father is?"

"Your father is similar to the man who has been taking care of us since our mother passed away. We just say Father. I know he is rough around the edges. But you said you never met him?" Pondered Ichika.

"Girls, listen. All I know is my father was angry when I came home from after Miku and I had a date. He said he and a Maruo Nakano a man he did business with went off on each other. Is there another big shot named Maruo Nakano? Five kids and unmarried?"

"Eep!" A girl with a bow in her hair sitting next to Nino gasped. "That's not good."

"Girls, please level with me. I know we just met but Miku and I just started dating. My father's third wife doesn't want this relationship for petty reasons but I want this to work no matter what. I don't care what Maria says. Miku and I even though we just started going out, what this to work. Fair?"

All the girls looked at each other in shock. This relationship had really went fast. But it isn't everyday that your sister randomly meets a guy, they play video games together, drink tea together, and as soon as the first problem comes, they start going out. As Miku blushed waiting for her sisters to respond, she put her head down. Hoping that Ichika wouldn't flirt with him and Nino not to be so mean. Itsuki and Yotsuba was anyone's guess. 

Itsuki looked at Miku. "So, he's your boyfriend?"

"Yeah..." Replied Miku.

"Wow. So this is the guy you gamed with? He doesn't look the type?" Yotsuba seemed thrilled that it was happening regardless. 

"Well I still have to do well in school. I'm top fifteen in the school. Pushing for top ten. I don't have to worry to much on what school I apply for. It's just how it is."

"So you have a father at home, a step mother, and you?" Itsuki was curious too.

"That and Makia a butler. He's sort of told about all this info last night. It stuck with me this morning when I walked to school and I am still trying to figure things out. I know I can't host unfortunately, but wanted at least all of you to know I will treat all of you with respect. Obviously to Miku as well."

"You just love making first impressions don't you?" Asked Ichika. 

"It's more like you have to. Am I wrong?" He shrugged. 

"I would be the one to call you out on it too. A bad first impression and you might not make the limo ride to the apartment?" Smirked Nino.

"It would be very uncomfortable. I know Miku is shy too. It's cute but she hates talking about it." He saw Miku lightly slap the top of the hand closest to him. "So girls, what's up from here? Meeting with Fuutaro or doing your own thing?"

"You met him?" Gasped Yotsuba.

"The smartest guy in the school based by GPA? Yeah, I did. He was concerned about Miku just as much as all of you were. I'm just being up front. Hope all of you don't mind. And I can see if I can help all of you too. I mean, Fuutaro helping five girls has to be quite the task."

Miku hugged you. "Thanks Valor."

"No problem." Hugging her closely. "Man. I can sure get used to these hugs."

"You're just being nice." Smirked Miku.

"Trust me, I'm not."

"So you're telling me that of all the girls around you haven't dated at all?" Asked Nino.

"There is a few reasons. Studies, Maria, and some just feel like entitled snobs. In school," He looked over to Ichika. "Ichika did any of my friends mention my life at home? Where I come from or anything?"

"No. Why?" She replied.

"Makia used to drop me off in a BMW up until my first year. Girls would flirt with me and want me to take them shopping. But on the flip side, you don't take a girl out shopping because she says she will give you a kiss. That's just not proper."

"That's a hussy. So you're not dense." Assured Nino.

"Well I hope not. But there are some I know that are as smart as me and would not get that sentence. They would be scratching their head and be so confused."

"You never mentioned that..." Miku turned away.

"Why would I bring up another girl while on a date with you? We're boyfriend and girlfriend now. And it wasn't that important. Was it?" (FN) looked around. 

Itsuki thought logic to the situation. "You didn't follow through so that's a plus."

"Yeah, that's a super-size like a big burger."

Itsuki sighed. "Yummy." (Be kind. No size comments about my girl Itsuki. Leave her alone.)

"So, any more questions? Feel free." That was an offer (FN) he couldn't take back. There was plenty. 

"You've never mentioned your mother. Ours passed away when we were kids. Is it the same for you?" Yotsuba knew that her and the girls loved and appreciated their mother. They had a soft side for her when they didn't with their father. 

"You know, my mother has other kids. Let's just say they're higher on the priority list. Me on the other hand? I see her once in a while but that's it. It is what it is. My parents split apart when I was young and I guess I idolized a father figure and just had female figures that were in and out. I've met great women before. At least to me that is. My mother after the divorce and she quickly remarried was very sick with a pregnancy. After that, the relationship now just isn't that interesting." That was sad. How does a boy not have a relationship with his mother over a divorce?

"So a half sibling caused this?" Huffed Itsuki.

"You can say that. I look like my father and as you can imagine Hak her husband doesn't care for him. Pettiness ways really." (FN) shook his head. "You ever have those awkward meals with people? You ask them to pass the butter or a glass of water and that's basically the only conversation? It's like that. How's school? Excelling at the top of my class. No trouble. No drama. No girlfriend. Not now but the last time I saw her. It's more of like a check-in."

"Wow..." Miku's face fell. "I had no idea."

"So is it another boy or do you have a sister?" Wondered Nino.

He sighed. "My half-sister's name is Rinoah. Again, no relationship. She always felt like she had to compete with me. She's a genius and just brilliant where I have to work much harder at it, cute, pretty, and a spoiled brat. Not standing her put a strain on me and my mother not getting along. It's basically an update in a work environment. Could be just a phone call. It's watching paint dry."

"How..." Miku looked glum. So did her sisters. "How can you say such a thing?"

"My mother ran off with another man, had his baby, and started another life. My father kept custody of me and Makia the butler along with a nanny named Talia until my father remarried a second time. Stayed around for a while until his second marriage. From there on out it was just me and Makia as my father has been sorting things out."

"That's so much trama." Ichika wanted to cry. 

"Somehow turned out fine. Had my studies and gaming occupy me. I mean, it's just what happened. And my friends we hung out a little outside of our homes really because just as you know it, they don't know what 'the life' is like. When your friend has a butler, things change. They treat you different."

All the girls nodded and agreed to that. Money does crazy things to people. 

"Don't we know it. Such meanies." Squeaked Yotsuba.

"Oh they can be. But with that said, I still talk to Aria my first stepmother once in a while and she's nice to me. There were problems in the relationship, but she was good to me. Maria I just don't like. She and my father get along, but she's been bossy the last year or so. I tolerate her. That's it."

"You don't get along with her? Are you hard to get along with or what is it?" Asked Nino.

"Well Nino, Maria is just demanding. For someone that lives with a husband with money, doesn't have to work, lives very good, and has a butler to bring demands to, she acts so bitchy and miserable. I'm just sick of it. Her kids are older and up to her standard. I guess its one of those things where it's like treat me like a regular guy and not a son. Because I don't call them Mom. I didn't call my second step mother Mom either. I call her by her first name. Miya. She couldn't have children but took a liking to me. I did to her. I don't call her Mom, but that's the closest thing I remember to one."

"You poor thing..." Ichika shook her head.

"Poor me? I have much more sympathy for you girls. My mother is still around. There isn't the what-if. I don't remember those. I remember my mother going away, being occupied, and after that it was the baby and soon after just doing well in school and that's it. I'm not a trophy. I'm not a protege. Well, this is what it is. Do I wish it was better? Yeah. Anyone would. But I don't dread it."

"I have a hard time believing that. You make it sound so simple." Ichika glared at him.

"I got my father, Makia, Miya, my friends, and everyone here. Though you girls know the story. My friends don't. Better off." He leaned back and saw Miku beside herself.

"Babe..."

"Yes?" He smiled.

"No being bad."

"Riiiiiight..."
