[of course he is right! he’s big brother! though... Osomatsu actually looks a bit surprised that Karamatsu agrees with him so readily. it knocks some of the wind out of his sails.

after a moment, he sighs, reaching over to catch a part of Karamatsu’s shirt in between his fingers. he’s so tired of fighting with him. they bicker a lot, but Osomatsu still cares about him]

I’m. Gonna be happy about this. I just wanted you to know, too. Okay?

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ The more that Osomatsu talks, the more Karamatsu seems to listen. Everything he's saying are things that Karamatsu can agree with— he just did not know how to put it into words until now. The fact that Osomatsu feels so strongly about this-- his words are filled with determination-- it moves Karamatsu in a way. After all, he does want the best for his brothers.

A miracle happens, right then and there. Karamatsu smiles, cupping both of his hands over Osomatsu's that is gripping his shirt. ]</sub>

—I want you to be happy about this too.

[eh? maybe Osomatsu got through to him. or maybe this is just the calm before the stupid storm blows past. but of that moment, Osomatsu looks pleased, smiling even at Karamatsu's words. he doesn't have anything to add it them, really]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ And Karamatsu is smiling back? You know, for now. Whatever jealousy is burning inside of him is concealed by a mask of joy. Sure, he really is happy for Osomatsu, and maybe the fact that Osomatsu is saying things that Karamatsu agrees with is also helping this situation. It's kind of like when Choromatsu left, right? Karamatsu was happy for him, but he also wanted to catch up with him. It sucks, though. Finding a job and finding romance are different-- and he has a job here, however little he works.

There's a small silence exchange before Karamatsu releases Osomatsu's hand. ]</sub>

Heh. Well then. If you need any dating tips, you are fortunate to have an expert for a younger brother. However, I will stress--
You better not vanish into the void of amour and leave us behind. After all, as the oldest, you do have two younger brothers here that need your support.

_{[ Says Karamatsu, Mr. Independence. Everything about this conversation is hypocrisy, but maybe Osomatsu won't notice. ]}

[glitterpants]

_{[ And then, added: ]}
You have my blessing.

_{[ why does he have a say in this??? ]}

[relieable]

[Osomatsu releases Karamatsu's shirt, taking a step back to give them both some space]

Like I'd leave either of you. [really, his brothers are his treasures. just because he's dating doesn't mean he'll forget about them. i mean, he got asked out, and he brought home cake for them because he wanted to spread the good will around.

besides, it was Karamatsu who was the one who broke away first, wasn't it? Osomatsu won't say that] I'm pretty sure we're all gonna be stuck together for a long time.

[glitterpants]

_{[ Shh. Don't tell Karamatsu that he was the one that broke away. That will just make him upset and you both are doing just a grand job getting along for now. At the reassurance, Karamatsu feels another smile creep on his face. It's just another excuse for him to hide the jealousy that burning in him right now. Hopefully Osomatsu won't notice, but maybe he already knows from being such an observant big brother. ]}

Ah? What makes you say that? Especially now since you have someone who has captivated your heart? At this rate you will be the first one to leave, heh.

[relieable]

[hmm]

We’ll see. [he laughs lightly, then stretches. he still doesn’t think he’ll be leaving his brothers, no matter what happens. maybe he doesn’t think his relationship will last] Well, I’m gonna head to bed. I’m bushed. [he was playing in that game all afternoon, then had a bunch of drinks so he’s still a little buzzed, then dinner. it’s time to rest!]

[glitterpants]

I'm sure you are. Being a real heart-throbber must be very tasking on your heart and soul! You do need rest. Rest up all through the night, my brother.
_{[ Karamatsu also turns to resume eating the cake. ]}

<sub>[ And once Osomatsu is out of eye sight and ear shot, he feels his nose wrinkle up, eyebrows pinning together. He pauses his chewing, swallowing it slowly. Why did Osomatsu have something like this happen to him? Karamatsu-- he does so many good things. He tries to please people the most.

And yet.

He just can't ever gets what he wants no matter how hard he tries. ]</sub>
