Chapter Text
Rubbing his finger under his nose, almost as some sort of nervous tic, Osomatsu asked again due to your prolonged silence.
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
You blinked, quite frankly a little shocked. What was this? You had known Osomatsu since the two of you were little kids. You were practically his sixth brother, with the sheer volume that you hung around him and his family, and all you could think was that this was some sort of sick joke meant to play with your feelings, because you weren't careful, and maybe he caught wind of the fact that you were utterly in love with him. At least that was how you felt on the surface. Deeper down, you knew that he wouldn't do that to you. It would have hurt you, and as much of a shitty, desperate, NEET virgin that Osomatsu was, he wouldn't try to hurt you like that.
Yeah, that's it. Maybe he was just desperate and confused. He would have told you if he was gay beforehand right? Because for all you knew, he was just as straight, and obsessed with having a pair of tits in his face as ever. Or maybe he was bi, or maybe it was a cover up, but why didn't he tell you? He knew you were gay! And you were at a loss for words. You watched your best friend's face fall.
"I mean, I get it if you don't," He said quietly. This absolutely was not his first rejection, but this one had to hurt the most. He had been so confident that you had liked him- none of the signs had ever been obvious to him, but they were to his brothers, and he thought he was just blind and feeling one-sided feelings. It was your silence that rattled his core the most, the little stutters and fragments of words that you couldn't say to him, maybe because you didn't want to hurt him.
Of course, none of that was the case. Finally you let yourself speak.
"This... Isn't your shitty idea of a joke is it?" You ask him, trying to confirm that he wasn't just doing this for some sort of laugh, and he looked hurt by the suggestion. Here he was, having poured his fucking heart out to you, and you had the gall to think it was a joke? But thinking about it, he couldn't blame you. With someone like himself, he probably would have thought so too. He shook his head wordlessly, and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Why the hell would I joke about this?" He asked seriously, and you felt your chest hurting, because you really didn't know. You moved closer and pulled Osomatsu into a hug, quiet for a second.
"I don't know. There was a lot of dumb shit running through my head, you know me," You said, laughing weakly, pressing your face into his shoulder.
"It's funny, because, I wanted you to ask me that since we were like, fourteen, and now that you did, all of my anxieties just..." You said, shrugging. Osomatsu pulled away from you for a moment.
"I'm sorry, did you say fourteen? Holy shit," You smacked his shoulder. "Is that why you've only even been with like, three people?"
"Yeah, so I didn't have to think about how desperately in love with you I was," You said, a tinge of humour in your tone. "So now that this all has come up... Yeah, I'll be your boyfriend. Dumbass." You finished with a smile, and Osomatsu was suddenly his adorable, grinning self again. He gave you a squeeze.
"All-RIGHT! When can we have sex! Or like, make out!" He yammered excitedly, pushing you back against the wall. God his mood changed fucking fast.
"Oso-Osomatsu!" You screeched, laughing. "That's rushing into it!"
"Are you kidding ___?! You wanted me for how many years, and fuck, uh, same, and now it's suddenly rushing-" Osomatsu rambled, and you could only laugh and shake your head, lightly pushing Osomatsu back by the chest. He was still happy nonetheless, even if a little disappointed by the lack of immediate sex. You did however, provide him with a kiss, and considering it was his first- unless he went out and kissed people without you knowing- you went in sweet. But God, he was eager about it.
