this is so sad siri play despacito [CLOSED]

[nyahilistic]

who: Matsuno⁴
what: A very belated birthday.
when: End of June? At least a couple of days after the torture event.
where: Matsuno Household.
warnings: Four sweaty dicks live in this house and are having a birthday party. What more warning do you need.



[To say being kidnapped and tortured had sucked was putting it mildly. He didn't even really remember most of what had happened, being he'd been kidnapped already running a nasty fever, and once things had gotten bad he'd done his best to mentally check himself out so he wouldn't remember. He'd spent the first several days they were home silent and avoiding all three of them, sorting himself out and trying to decide if there was any actual damage he needed to discuss or be seen for-- In the end he took some NyQuil and slept on the couch for three days without waking up other than to pee and take more NyQuil and seemed to be okay.]

[So the next morning, he'd waited until the other three were all awake, and shuffled his way awkwardly into the doorway of the bedroom, one of the kittens on his shoulder.]

...so, uh. Kidnapping sucks, can we do something fun? We all kinda missed our birthday, anyway...

[He shuffles aside, and on the coffee table are three neatly wrapped presents of varying sizes. One is red, one is blue, and one is yellow.]

...or, if nothing else, I got you guys some stuff.

[ooc; I'm gonna have top levels for each one of you because I'm absolutely abysmal at group threads, otherwise be as chaotic as you see fit. ♥]

dick in the box

[relieable]

[so. Osomatsu hasn't been very well either. he got sick from being starved, and it was hard for him to keep food down for a while. there were a couple times when he'd latched onto Karamatsu or Jyushimatsu and wouldn't let go. he would have done the same thing to Ichimatsu, too, if Ichi had let him.

he gradually builds up to acting like his normal self, going to work, seeing his boyfriend. but there's a sadness in his eyes, like he feels betrayed somehow. betrayed by this wonderful world that he's come to love.

seeing Ichimatsu out and about that day causes him to worry a bit, but once he realizes what's going on, Osomatsu is happy. he moves to touch Ichimatsu, not with a firm head rub, but just a light pat on the shoulder, in case he doesn't want to be touched]

You got us stuff? You didn't have to do that. [he says as he makes a beeline over to his presents]

it's my dick in a box

[nyahilistic]

[He tenses only slightly at the hand as it comes toward him, but relaxes when it's just a pat. He'd have got get used to contact being okay again, even if he'd never really been super fond of it to begin with. He likes periodic contact, but now he was at this weird point with it where it scared him in a way he couldn't always keep himself from reacting to.]

[But he's glad Osomatsu seems to be doing better, too. Him being sick when he ate reminded him of the flu they'd had that lead to comas, and he was really quite tired of sicknesses and most everything else, thanks. He sits neatly on his knees near the table and shrugs.]

Slept through our birthday this year, so I figured better late than never.

[relieable]

[okay, let's see what we've got here! Osomatsu opens the envelope first, and finds the two tickets] Oh, no way! This place is super exclusive! [then he looks to the paper. Ichimatsu even got a note from his boss. incredible! he beams at Ichimatsu, like he's so proud of him.

but then his attention is on the box. there must certainly be more treasures in there! but then he picks up the box, sees the attached note, and finds the hole. what.

again, Osomatsu looks to Ichimatsu, eyes slightly narrowed before he bursts out laughing]

[nyahilistic]

[A very cat-who-got-the-cream smile crosses his face, and he chuckles lowly when Osomatsu bursts out laughing about the box.]

You know that weird dumb American song, right? I thought you'd find it funny. But the tickets are the real present. Your boss thought I was you when I first went in, was absolutely aghast and told me to go home and shower and brush my hair. Pretty funny.

[relieable]

Really? [hehe. that also makes him smile. he pokes his finger through the hole in the box and wiggle is, then looks back at the envelope in his other hand]

Thanks, Ichimacchan.

[nyahilistic]

[His smile stays for a bit, even if it's small, and he nods.]

Yeah, yeah. Don't get all mushy on me. [Actually please do. Maybe not for the gift itself, but there's a definite part of him that feels like a nuisance now that niisan has a boyfriend.]

[relieable]

[he won't get mushy! maybe. Osomatsu puts down the box but holds onto the envelope. he taps it against his free hand. he definitely looks like he wants to say something else. they have some unfinished business, don't they?]

...You know. When I first noticed you were missing, I got really upset. I tried talking to Karamatsu, even called that Reaper guy to see if he'd seen you. I didn't know what to do.

[nyahilistic]

[He recoils, hugging his knees closer.]

...sorry. [He doesn't... really know what else to say, he doesn't know if he should be apologizing at all, because he knows he was wrong for hiding from everyone and making himself sick sleeping in the greenhouse, but he didn't know what else to do. Feel unwanted, make yourself scarce. Feel sick, make yourself scarcer. He's a cat, through and through.]

[relieable]

[ah, that was the unintended effect. but Osomatsu isn't that surprised. he doesn't look up yet, just taps the envelope once more]

...It's my fault, isn't it?

[nyahilistic]

[Oh. He starts, looking up, and... Well, he's startled, but he's also anxious, now, because, no, not really, but sort of? How does he say that. He squirms his way into a tighter deposit, scooting back so his back is against the arm of the couch.]

...I mean, you can't help if I don't know how to act. I got my own damn self kidnapped.

[relieable]

But...!

[Osomatsu looks over at him now, thinking about what he wants to say. should he say this? would it make things worse?]

But. If I had just listened to you that night, you probably wouldn't've felt the need to, like, go off by yourself. Right?

[nyahilistic]

I didn't really go anywhere, I just slept on the roof.

[Which... Isn't exactly an answer to Osomatsu's question, so he huffs, shrugging.] But it's not like I ever actually asked you to listen. You're my brother, you're not mom, I'm a grown-ass man and shouldn't have to expect you guys to understand what I want when half the time I don't even know what I want.

[relieable]

[Osomatsu sucks in a breath. Ichimatsu's not wrong. it's really difficult to know how to act around him, to know what to do]

In any case. I'm sorry. I shouldn't've blown you off like I did. Next time I don't listen to you, you just hit me, or something.

[nyahilistic]

[He huffs a vague sort of laugh, grumbling.]

If it were that easy we probably wouldn't be having this problem.

[He's quiet for a bit, then, and then pats the floor next to him.] C'mere.

[relieable]

[eh? Osomatsu looks up and over. he studies Ichimatsu for just a second before he starts crawling over to sit beside him]

[nyahilistic]

[He leans sideways into him, still folded up and his arms around his knees.]

...I think I'm jealous, maybe. I dunno if I'm jealous of you for having a boyfriend or Lyle for getting to be the one who's way more interesting and cool to spend time around than the brothers you've put up with all your life.

[Osomatsu was somehow always the easiest one to explain this to. Easier even, sometimes, than explaining things to Jyushimatsu. Maybe easier, here, because it felt strange to talk about Osomatsu and Karamatsu having a boyfriend and a regular booty call, respectively.]

[relieable]

[oh, hm. Ichimatsu's being honest! good. at least he's talking about what's wrong with him. he looks out at the room for a while, and then shrugs]

A lot of people get jealous, yanno? I mean, for the longest time, I was jealous of the time you and Karamatsu spent together. Sometimes I still am. You guys left the house, then went on this big space adventure. And, I dunno. I feel like you guys got really close.

[nyahilistic]

[He laughs, hollowly, then.]

Eluvio sucked. I think even Karamatsu would prefer my shitty attitude of before if it meant we could have skipped that.

[He curls up further still.]

...and, I mean. I got a lot closer to asking him to stay home and he still left, the same night you did, so. I don't know that we're any closer at all.

[He licks his lips, laughing suddenly to try and diffuse the topic and move away from it.]

But-- hey, I deserve that. Being an ass to him for so long, I gotta take a couple rebuttals.

[But he certainly won't take them well.]

[relieable]

[Osomatsu doesn't know if Ichimatsu deserves to be treated the way Karamatsu's been treating them lately. but... whatever. back to the subject of jealousy]

...You don't have t'be jealous, Ichimatsu. Or, I mean, you can, if you need to be. But just know that you're still important to me. Even with Lyle here, you, an' Karamatsu, an' Jyushimatsu... You're all the most precious people in my life.

[nyahilistic]

I kinda wish I wasn't, but I think that's a lot of why I've been such a jerk all my life.

[He leans a little more against Osomatsu.]

...even so, I'm a pretty awful little brother.

[relieable]

[Osomatsu leans into Ichimatsu, closing his eyes. he feels... better, now that he's apologized, now that they're airing all this out. it took a traumatic experience to bring them closer...]

Well, I'm a pretty awful older brother. So we can be awful together, right?

[nyahilistic]

[See also: that's what got he and Karamatsu to be sorta friends, so. Rude shit and rude shits, trauma should not be what makes you be friendly with your siblings, God. He chuckles, nodding.]

Sure.

[relieable]

[well, obviously, it would be better if there were no traumatic experiences ever]

Great! [he gently nudges Ichimatsu] All that dumb shit aside, thanks again, for the gifts.

[nyahilistic]

The sole rule is you are absolutely not allowed to use the dick in a box box in the house. For any reason.

[A pointed look.]

[relieable]

[.............]

Aw, come on! Not even just a little bit?
