[Karamatsu's had sort of a bad feeling for a while now, about where Ichimatsu might have gone. He never mentioned a job in specific, nor offered any address for visiting or anything, and he's a little bit harder to contact than his other brothers, so... he's been worried. Today, that feeling is only magnified. It's been two days or so since Ichimatsu's answered his text messages, and that's... actually unusual. He hasn't felt like Ichimatsu really liked him in years, but he'd at least kept up responding to Karamatsu's texts checking in on him. Maybe that was just to make sure he wouldn't be bothered by any more direct meddling...?] [Whatever the reason, he hasn't answered now, and Karamatsu can't help but worry -- maybe he's worrying too much where he has no place to be, but still... So he's out looking tonight, making rounds at the nearby internet and manga cafes. It makes him feel a little guilty, that that's where he thinks his brother is living, but... It's just a feeling. He hopes he's wrong. It's not like anyone wants to tell him whether or not Ichimatsu's stayed there, and because they're all adults, saying he ran away from home doesn't really work to leverage information out of people...] [It's been a couple hours of searching, and at this point he just sort of slumps against the wall outside of one, frustrated and trying hard not to cry, because that's not going to help him find his little brother by any means.] |

Never. [Karamatsu smiles at him, a little bashful himself, too, but clearly happy, just like Ichimatsu likely hoped for. He only moves away for a moment to grab a pot, fill it practically to the brim with water and turn on the stove, before he turns back to his brother and leans in to, bravely!!, kiss him on the lips quickly.] I wanted to do that so much, all the time, haha... This is, um. It's really nice. Already. |

[As quick as the kiss is, Ichimatsu's eyes still flutter shut for it.] I always wished you would. Or wished I could... Wished we could, I guess. [His face still feels very much like he's just been crying, and he can't imagine it looks much different than it feels, but a small smile makes its way through regardless. He hopes that, too, makes Karamatsu happy. He mentioned missing that...] I'm happy you found me. |

I'd like to hear all about that, later... Maybe I can find some ways to make up for it? [He plans on trying for that anyway, showering Ichimatsu in all the affection he's had stored up for years that he's wanted to share, but if there's anything more specific, or any particular way he can deliver it... he'd like to be able to do that, too.] [Karamatsu thought he was done crying, but Ichimatsu saying that he's happy at all, and that smile... well, it makes him sniffle, at least, again.] Me too. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't, honestly... |

Mm, if you like, I don't think I could turn you down... [Not anymore, anyway. Being able to bask in Karamatsu's affection, finally, sounds so nice, so ideal, like a dream. Probably a dream he's really had too, honestly.] Well, you would have heard from me once I charged my phone at that cafe, but... I'm glad you found me before that happened. |

[Winks at him, very exaggeratedly.] I think you're right, as I would have worked very hard to persuade you. [He crumbles a little at that, though.] Ugh. And I would have kept living like this, feeling like something was off, but not able to do anything about it. It would have been terrible. I mean, be honest -- you wouldn't have told any of us why you dropped out of contact, no matter how long that period of time might have been, right? You really need to rely on your family more, Ichimatsu... It's okay to be cared for. [He turns back to his stove, not really out of necessity. The water's not quite boiling, so there's no risk of it overflowing, but it just... feels kind of difficult to look Ichimatsu in the eye right now.] You're not a burden, you know that, right? Osomatsu and Choromatsu love you so much, too -- you have big brothers who want to take care of you, and little brothers who really look up to you, even if you don't see it. Please don't ever put yourself in danger again like that. [He knows he's being probably overly serious and quite possibly ruining a good mood, but it's just... the idea that this almost never happened at all. He could have been at the wrong place. Ichimatsu could have come back even just ten minutes earlier. He may never have been able to find him and bring him back somewhere he could call home, and that's so scary to consider.] |

You wouldn't have had to work hard... [It's mumbled. He's embarrassed. It's true, but is it too soon after confessing these feelings for him to let on how into his brother he really is?] [He really aches at all of that, though - at each brother mentioned by name and the thought of Juushimatsu that jumps readily to mind too. He misses him a lot, and the easy affection he felt like they had sometimes, and was trying not to think about it too much. He'll have to get in touch with him...] [But there's Karamatsu now, right here... lecturing him. Caring for him, making him food. It's hard not to feel like a burden, but he's so grateful nonetheless. How did he get so lucky with Karamatsu?] [He can't even make excuses or explain after that, it all just hurts.] I'm sorry, I... did anyone else say they were worried? I should call them, I guess. |

Oh really? [He smiles at that, genuinely pretty pleased. It might be overwhelming to hear, mostly because Karamatsu still feels somewhat like a stranger to reciprocated feelings, especially here, so it'll probably floor him. That doesn't mean he wouldn't want to hear the full extent of just how much Ichimatsu is interested in him though, by any means.] Everyone did! I still have their texts. I... well, honestly, I thought maybe you were just ignoring me, so I asked everyone else, too. When Juushimatsu hadn't heard from you, that's when I really got worried, since I know you never get tired of talking to him. |

Really. [They haven't set the mood for anything but seriousness, after all. But how much is too much to say? He pauses for a moment.] I wanted you all that time, and now that you know, if you say you want me too, I... I can't say no. [He could say "later" if he really had to, or something like that, but a flat out no sounds impossible.] [He feels guilty he worried them all. He'd thought, at the time, if they didn't know the details and he told them he was fine from time to time, it would be alright. Not so, it seems.] Do they know? That you found me, I mean. I'll talk to them myself tomorrow. Apologize and all, but. Not tonight... |

Yes you can!! You can always say "no". ... But I know what you mean, and I wouldn't want to, either. [He smiles, and it's made that much more endearing by the fact that he blushes a little as he does so, too.] I do want you. In every way I can have you. [Ah, but he... should... focus on the logistics here instead of admitting that, maybe, or else... Well, anyway.] No, not yet. I'll message them while you're eating! And then, um, yeah. We can have the night to ourselves, I guess, haha... [Which is almost intimidating, but of course it sounds wonderful, too... he focuses on taking the pot off the stove and pouring the water into the cup instead of the idea of having an entire night with Ichimatsu alone, or at least tries to -- he's likely to spill and end up burning his hand if he thinks about it too hard.] |

I could say it, maybe, but I couldn't mean it. [But he doesn't actually think, at this point, that he could even get himself to say the word. Maybe it's just the feeling of the moment, still being sort of exhausted from arguing and confessing and crying, who knows.] That's...good to hear. [Possibly the biggest understatement he's ever made. But things have been plenty heavy tonight and he's not sure he needs to keep them that way. Maybe holding back isn't doing them favors either, though, but... does it need to be nonstop? In the end, he just isn't sure of how to handle most of this, he supposes.] [Ichimatsu nods his acknowledgement and maybe blushes a little there. He won't get carried away just because of that phrase though. He can't think too much into those words so soon. He shouldn't.] Okay... so, uh, should I ask how your job is now in the mean time or. do you wanna talk about that another time... |
