I don't like those tags...Shounen Ai/Shoujo Ai for this series sounds a little too...Fanservice-y...
Though, I would want to choose this point, I'd rewrite for a harem ending.
This is how it'd go down...
Fuu decides to tell the girls to go to the classrooms, and that he'd come and get them, just like in the original manga.
However, as Fuu reaches for Yotsuba's doorknob, he thinks of all the other quins, and the bonds they not only shared with one another, but with him. He feels like choosing one of the girls would tear their family apart, and cause old wounds to reopen and new internal destruction, and so he walks away in tears, though Yotsuba hears him crying.
A few days pass and we see the five Quins talking out their frustration. Nino-as is in-character for her-is frustrated at Fuu and is understandably pissed. She insults him, berates him and belittles him, saying that he was just toying with them and that he gets whatever he deserves. Ichika, being the more mature one, tries to talk Nino down because she thinks that her anger at being rejected has made her irrational-though she does with tact, she still makes subtle snide quips at the others. Miku is noticeably distressed, but isn't vocal about how she feels, instead trying to keep it inside despite the feeling of betrayal, and Itsuki has a heart-to-heart with her, trying to talk her through and work out how she's feeling, but it erupts in a fight between the four. Finally, Yotsuba, who, up until this point was silent, finally reveals what she saw and that she knows the Fuu must have been deeply and irrevocably torn between them, and she reminds them of the Gotoubon Principle, before ultimately asking to herself what their mother would do, and the five think of finding a ways to amend their situation for the better.
Cut to Fuu's family who can't get ahold of him. He hasn't been showing up to school lately. He's starting to distance himself from everyone around him. The Quinns have called the Usegi household but he's never there, and his friend/rival, Takeda, is still looking for him. They're all being proactive in their search, but none of them can see where he's run off to and they're all fearing for the worst.
However, Maruo, having much more resources and contacts, is able to find him hiding out alone and invites him into have a conversation. He wants his side of the story, and why he broke all his daughter's hearts. Fuu tells him everything and how he thought of the twins, their bonds as sisters and how he didn't want to break them apart. Fuu wants them to always be with one another and that he feels choosing any single one will disrupt that relationship to a point that it can't recover. Maruo ultimately tells him that he's realized that, even though he initially distrust Fuu, he's come to respect him not only as a man, but as a potential son, and that his dedication-along with his strict moral center-reminds him of Rena. He tells Fuu that he will call the twins, and that they will all have a long conversation together.
When Fuu gets back how, Raiha hugs him and Isanari, though hiding his emotions through humor, ultimately thanks Maruo for bringing back his son. The Quinntuplets show up, and the first thing Nino does is walk up to Fuu and slap him in the face for being an idiot, describing how selfish he was for leaving them all behind, how much misery she was put through, before gradually starting to tear-up as she describes how she saw her sisters' sadness. Fuu apologizes, but says that he didn't want to hurt any of the sisters or their bonds. Ichika subtly jabs at him that he's very mature for his age, but that romanticism and idealism won't get him anywhere. Miku is still silent and looking away, but she's pleased to see that he's alright and Yotsuba and Itsuki suddenly hug onto him as he struggles to get out.
The sisters give each other a look after he breaks free as they know the awkward question remains. They ask him who he was going to pick and Fuu stares at the ground, biting his tongue. The tension is palpable. He finally looks up to Yotsuba who blushes for a moment. We see her thought process. She remembers the trip to Tokyo and Fuu when he was younger, and the words her mother said to her and how she began to develop her individuality. She thinks of Fuu and his dedication and how he never gave up and still remembered her all these years later, but she also thinks about her sisters and how Fuu brought them all together. She thinks about her family and how he repaired their relationship, and how they gradually warmed his heart as well.
Yotsuba, true to her character, tells him that she feels the same way, but that she's unfortunately not the only one who does. She looks at the faces of her sisters before she ultimately says that even though she wants Fuu all to herself, she can't bring herself to do that, and that no matter what, each of her sisters will always feel the way they do towards each other and Fuu. And so, she walks up to each of the sisters, and, paralleling the scene from the Winter Festival, guides them to take apart of Fuu's hand before she says that she'll have to share him.
Cue five year jump. After this is similar to the manga, but the conversations are slightly altered, with everyone but Maruo telling jokes about how Fuu is cohabitating with multiple women/is a polygamist, etc. Fuu and Maruo eventually do have a heart-to-heart, discussing how they feel and how he has to marry one of them legally, despite being in a relationship with all of them. Maruo says that he trust Fuu not to break any of their hearts or his promises, and Fuu swears that he'll never wish to hurt any of the twins.
Cue the wedding/celebration/family scenes in the future where all the Quinns are successful in their careers and we get a skip to them as old men and women with their grandchildren playing in the yard.
Obviously this is one of many possible fixes and many spins, but I feel this is the most thematically consistent and fits best with everyone's characters in the manga. Negi dropped the ball on this ending, and whilst my interpretation of a possible fix would, in my opinion, be one of the better outcomes, there would still be many other ways to more satisfactorily end the manga than his approach.
