[or... maybe Lyle is just naive. that's it! he doesn't know what he's getting into! Osomatsu is the lowest of the low! he's garbage, he has a gambling addiction and might be an alcoholic! Lyle doesn't need that shit.

after a moment, Osomatsu's face becomes more serious, and he reaches out, placing a hand on Lyle's arm]

Oi. Y-You don't... I'm no good, all right? Back at home, I was the loser. [hic!] Everyone kn-knew this! I'm the shitty older brother who isn't reliable at all. I'm a virgin who was still living at home, without a job. The first time I was ki-kissed was when you 'n me were in that weird magic barrier thing!

I-I'm not cool, or fashionable... In fact, I'm pretty plain! When my brothers all decided to l-leave the house, I stayed back 'cause I didn't wanna go! [his eyes are a bit glassy now, but he's not crying. it'd be stupid to cry] There's n-no reason why a guy like you should ask me out. E-even now! I sound like an idiot, babblin' away at you 'cause I'm... I really am an idiot!

[he drops his arm, drops his gaze]

I'm just... I'm no good, Lyle. An' you're super awesome. You don't... need someone like me holding you back.
