[It took a little bit more bravery than he'd like to admit to, to open up the letter his mom handed him. He's been resolutely ignoring the slow, painful process of being left behind at home by... well, everyone. It's not been easy, though. And really, he's probably not succeeded at ignoring it at all.] [Accepting the letter, though, means that he has to confront the fact that he's alone now, and probably hear all about how great things are going for his little brother (who he misses so acutely that it feels like a knife sometimes).] [... But that's not what it is. His hands are shaking, not even halfway through, and he sort of feels like throwing something, because it's so -- why would he do that? Well, alright. He can't blame him. Seriously, though! His feelings were "inappropriate" so he just left? ... Does that mean he doesn't have those feelings anymore?] [Osomatsu doesn't really want to take a chance at that. He scrambles up to his feet, not even reading the whole letter, and runs downstairs to the living room where his parents are. Surely they're a little alarmed by how frazzled he looks, and how he sort of croaks out, "where's Choromatsu's office?" but his dad gives him an answer nonetheless, and he's out the door pretty much immediately after.] [He'll just wait outside until Choromatsu leaves. ... Hopefully he won't work overtime tonight. ... Maybe he can read the rest of the letter while he waits, and try not to freak out or anything. Try.] |

It was a really bad decision. Like, totally the worst thing you've ever done. But it still has an upside, I guess. [If they can actually live alone and all, that's... a pretty huge deal, so that's cool. He's not surprised at all that Choromatsu's done well for himself and is fitting in at a (super boring) company and an (awful soul-sucking) desk job. He's gotta find a way to pitch in, though, now. Letting his parents spoil him feels different than letting his brother (boyfriend?) do that.] ... Yeah, it would, but. You're supposed to like, want what's best for the person you love and all, so. Figured I should at least offer. [Osomatsu laughs, too, a little embarrassed, but mostly just fond that Choromatsu sees right through him -- and he's sure.] 'Kay. Sounds good to me. ... Thanks. For that, and for sending the letter at all and explaining. |

I don't know about that, it got us here... Maybe there was a better way here, though. [Although if "here" is having his first kiss with his brother in an alley, yeah, there was probably only so many ways to this exact point. But if it leads to a relationship, living together, all of that, he won't complain. It was worth it.] [Choromatsu laughs again, more fond this time.] That's hardly like you. You just tried to drag me home without asking me what I thought at all. [But of course he can read his brother. They've known each other longer than they can remember, and he hasn't forgotten how close they were when they were younger either.] Thanks for caring enough to come. |

Yeah, I mean, you could have just jumped me, like, years ago? That would have been a great way "here", I think, personally. [He kisses him quickly again, just because he can, just to emphasize how totally great "here" is anyway and how Choromatsu is totally making a fantastic decision. Totally.] Uh, sometimes big brothers have to take charge, since we know what's best. ... And I think what's best for both of us is still being with each other, so. [That makes him furrow his brows and jab Choromatsu in the side lightly, to scold him, though.] Don't be dumb. I'd be here no matter what. You're my little brother. I'd do anything for you, probably. It'd depend on how much effort. |

[Choromatsu blushes at that a little, because well... it's not like there weren't chances, honestly. He can even think of a few in particular. How embarrassing.] That seems like it could be a bad assumption to make, though... [He gladly kisses back though, because he'd like to make up for some of the time they spent both wanting this, probably. He also just... really likes kissing Osomatsu.] Mm, yes, I'm sure your... what, ten minutes more of life? provided you with deep insight on these matters. [He doesn't disagree though. If Osomatsu can find the motivation here to step up from how they'd been living, Choromatsu can believe they'll work as well as they once did -- just. more responsibly now.] How reassuring. You didn't have to, though... I'm fine, I'm just... glad that you do feel the same way. |

[A deep sigh.] I guess. I mean, I think you could have played it off as "wanting to experiment" or something. "Teach me how to kiss, onii-chan!" That kinda thing? I mean, you see it in anime a lot. Totally could've worked. Also, it's me. So. I think you would have been safe. [As in, he's kind of a sleaze sometimes, so.] Absolutely. Ten minutes without you was all I needed to know I didn't want to deal with that ever again. [He makes sure to give a nice, playful smile there, because that was a great line and Choromatsu had better go at least a little bit weak in the knees over it.] ... Yeah. Me too. I didn't think I'd ever get to tell you. |

I'm not sure that's what I would have actually wanted, though. Making excuses, I mean. Even if it's you. Or because it's you. I don't think I'd have wanted to kiss you thinking you didn't feel the same way... [It's so easy in retrospect to think he should have tried now that he knows, of course, but he thinks he's totally justified in being afraid to as well!] [What can he even say to a line like that, though? There are zero other situations where something like that would work, it really is impressive...] I... I can't believe you just said that, you smooth bastard...! [And with Osomatsu's smile on top of it all, he must be blushing a little. He hopes Osomatsu is proud of himself.] It took a lot of guts, more than I felt like I had... even then, I ended up writing it in a letter. I was nervous when you showed up, you know... |

Mm, I get that. It would have sucked. Who knows how long we could have played that game for before admitting we actually had feelings, too? So. Probably better this way, you're right. [He is proud!! And he doesn't hide it, instead he chuckles and almost blushes a bit, too, like he's embarrassed to have said something so genuinely cool. But he kisses Choromatsu's cheek, perhaps in apology for blindsiding him like that.] It's true though! [Osomatsu reaches down to clasp both of Choromatsu's hands with his own, looking a little sad, now, thinking of his brother so scared like that.] Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. I just -- I didn't know what to do, seriously. I felt like, if I didn't just drag you away, I'd end up blurting it all out right there and that would have been a bad idea for so many reasons. |

I would have loved to have all that time with you, though, to be clear... [It's probably already clear. He just wants to state it. There's no doubt that way.] You can survive more than ten minutes without me after all, though. How well you survive might be another story... [Not to elevate himself too much, but he can relish in having the brother he loves so much feel that way about him, right? And if he thinks back to his going away party of sorts, Osomatsu was already off to a poor start.] I understand why... and if I'd thought about it, why would you show up here out of the blue if it was bad? You could have pretended the letter didn't exist, not kept in touch with me if you really felt like it. It was just... unexpected. And nerve-wracking. |

Oh, yeah, I know. Don't worry. I know. [Osomatsu gives him a little nuzzle there, and a sort of pouty whiny, too.] "Surviving" is too generous a word!! I was wasting away!! A shell of myself!! [He's happy to feed into Choromatsu's ego here, to reassure that he really does just adore him. He'd want the same, naturally, even if it was exaggerated and silly and they both knew that.] I mean, I could have been coming to punch you or something, I guess...? I probably would have still been nervous too. ... Um. Wanna go home? To your -- our? Is it too soon to say that? Ugh. Anyway. The apartment you're living in right now. That's better than an alley, probably. |

Good. [He leans into the nuzzling some, nuzzling back just a bit.] Mm, I'm especially glad I sent that letter then. What would have happened to you if I hadn't? [He knows that's kind of an exaggeration, but he thinks watching everyone leave was taking a toll on Osomatsu, so his letter really seems to have been the right move. For Osomatsu to go from not even seeing him off to finding his office on foot...] I guess. That seems like it might have been a lot of effort, for you. [He shrugs, mostly teasing.] Uh. No, not to soon... [Flustered at it a little already though, imagining how much better that statement will feel when it's really settled.] Sure, though. I guess you should come see it anyway. Come on, this way. [And he grabs his brother's hand to lead the way.] |
