Chapter Text

All six of them were lazing aroung in the living room. It was a beautiful afternoon with the sun shining through the windows. As usual, the sextuplets had nothing to do, Karamatsu was looking down the town through their windows, Osomatsu was rereading his manga the nth time, Choromatsu was busy with his job-seeking career, Ichimatsu was playing with a stray he brought home that morning, Jyushimatsu was, well, he just literally sat there looking at the celling. Rolled to his back, Todomatsu sighed while sliding through his facebook. Eventhough it was a bit boring, he couldn’t say he didn’t enjoy these peaceful time, you know, lazing around, needn’t have to work nor have a girlfriend to worry about. It was a perfect afternoon. Before someone decided to ruin it with his lame oh-so-painful jokes.

“Knock knock”

Oh there he went.

“WHO’S THERE?”

It was Jyushimatsu who answered, still fixed his gaze on the celling. Karamatsu smirked and made a dramatic pose with his sunglasses.

“Daisy”

“DAISY WHO?”

Karamatsu pulled out his guitar and started singing.

“Daisy me comin’, dey runnin’”

“OH, OH, I KNOW THIS SONG!!!”

Jyushimatsu started yelling and waved his arms around, which hit Ichimatsu and made him fall face-first onto the ground. Actually, onto Todomatsu.

“AHHH. NIIISANN, YOU’RE HEAVY!!”

“Could you stop with the shitty jokes, Shittymatsu?”

It was Ichimatsu who glared, shot daggers at the man still playing his guitar dramatically.

“Ah, lil brother, I believe you were enjoying this perfect afternoon. I shall …”

“One more word and I will send you flying through the windows.”

His voice was low and Todomatsu swore Ichimatsu really meant it. It effectively shut Karamatsu up though, so that was good he guessed. Osomatsu suddenly spoke up:

“Hey, I’m hungry, Choromatsu! Get me some snacks!”

“Can’t you see I’m busy niisan. Why don’t you just get them yourself?”

“Well, I’m reading my manga here. And you looked like you are doing nothing productive at all!”

“What? What are you saying you shitty eldest brother?”

“ODEN! LET’S GO TO CHIBITA’S!!” 

That was random. Well, expected of Jyushimatsu, Ichimatsu followed him suit:

“It’s 5pm, we should get some snack. And oden sounds good!”

“Fine with me!”

Osomatsu rubbed his nose with an index finger, wearing that typical playful grin of his. Choromatsu put down his magazine.

“Well, I’m hungry too…”

“THEN IT’S DECIDED!!”

Jumped to his feet, the yellow one headed for the door, followed by purple, green and red hoodie.

“Eh, Totty’s not going?”

"Nah, I’m fine.”

“I’m not going either.”

Told the second eldest. Everyone turned to him, still sitting at the windows with his sunglasses. Having everyone’s attention was too much for Karamatsu to handle, he awkwardly pushed his glassed up and said, forgetting his cheesy lines:

“I’m good.”

“Well, suit yourself.”

As the others left, only Todomatsu and Karamatsu were in the room. The sun about to set, shone a lovely orange hue into the living room. Todomatsu laid on his back, his gaze fixed on his older brother. So there was only two of them hah. Not that he minded though, it was just a coincidence that they were left alone too often these days, right?

Todomatsu didn’t want to leave the house, for no reason, he didn’t feel up to it. But why also his older brother? Lately he hadn’t been out to get his Karamatsu Girls too, and sometimes Todomatsu would catch his brother staring at him, in a very loving way that weird him out. Not digusting though, just plainly weird.

“Totty?”

“Hm”

Karamatsu hadn’t used his painful lines much lately, and that got on everybody nerves. Something was wrong when Karamatsu stopped being painful, it was like seeing Jyushimatsu without his smile, and to his own disbelief, Todomatsu kinda missed that of Karamatsu.

Well, Todomatsu loved sweet stuff. And when Karamatsu wasn’t painful, he could use some pick-up lines and that sweet deep voice of his to be ACTUALLY romantic. Which was very attractive to the youngest, he always loved being pampered and spoiled by his brothers, which Karamatsu willing to give everytime.

There was a reason why they were closest to each other when they were kids, you know.

“Wanna hear a joke?”

“Yeah, sure, whatever.”

But yeah, maybe he was just overthinking a bit.

“Knock knock”

“Karamatsu-niisan, not that again.”

“Hush, just answer me lil bro.”

Threw him a confusing glance, Todomatsu sat up and faced his brother, who had been staring at him ever since the others left. It was hard to figure what he was thinking behind those sunglasses. Who ever wear sunglasses inside anyway? Eventhough he would never admit that it looked good on his older brother, with his thick eyebrows and that half-smirking mouth. He was being illuminated by the sunset, and that made him…beautiful.

The words stuck in Todomatsu’s head. Wait, what? Did he just think that shitty person he has as a brother beautiful? Maybe staying inside too much did take a toll on him.

“Only this one niisan.”

“Hm, knock knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“Ai.”

“Ai who?”

Karamatsu suddenly stood up, he walked slowly until Todomatsu and him were only inches apart. To his youngest brother’s surprise, he pulled out a pink rose bouquet out of nowhere and placed in in front of Todomatsu.

“Aishiteru.” (I love you)

It took a lifetime for Todomatsu to realise what his brother said. He was technically frozen right at the spot, looking at the pink roses in his brother’s hands.

“My dear Totty, I have been thinking over the last few days. What are you to me? And to my dismay, I can’t never settle with the word “brother”. Because to me you have been special, everytime I go to sleep I dream of you, everytime I meet someone, my mind travels back to your side. I know over the last few years you and I have been growing apart. Ah, time sure is cruel. But I realize I still have a chance to make it up for you…”

“Wait, wait, this is a joke right?”

Todomatsu placed his hand on Karamatsu’s mouth, not taking in anything at all. If this was a joke, then it would be a really good one, because he was taken aback by his words. Deep down inside him, something stirred at Karamatsu’s words. Something weak, but also powerful, overwhelming and bitter.

“Niisan, I don’t like this kind of joke. I’m your brother, and if you want to practice this, I’m not a good choice okay!”

“This is not a joke.”

Shit. He was serious. His dark brown eyes stared at Todomatsu’s, almost drowning him in process, his voice was low and primal, as if this was an order. Todomatsu felt his heart squeezed at the words, alarms ringing all over his head. No way. No fucking way.

“Niisan…”

He was cut off by something soft pressed against his lips, hot, full of passion, full of desires. His head just went “BANG”, his heartbeat fastened. Karamatsu was kissing him. Worse, he was feeling good about this.

Todomatsu opened his mouth to protest, only to have his brother’s tongue slided inside of him, licking every corner of his little mouth. It was hard to breathe, his face must have turned bright red by now, hopefully not that recognizable as the room was being filled with orange sunlight.

He could feel it. His brother’s passion. Feelings. Sincerity. Love. Everything.

In one moment, it was too hard to resist. He warped his arms around Karamatsu’s neck and started sucking at his lips. Hm. Felt good. He couldn’t think straight right now. He needed more. More of this sweetness. More of this love.

You have always wanted this right?

A voice said at the back of his mind. Yes, he had always wanted to be loved by someone. Who could give him all the attention he wanted, who needed him, who he could share everything with. No, he had always wanted to be loved by his own brother. This was wrong, damnit, but what could he do, while he was drowning in the happiness of being treasured and cared for.

When he came to his sense, Todomatsu had been pushed on the floor, with Karamatsu on top of him. His chocolate eyes were half-lidded, full of kindness and lust.

“Todomatsu?”

“Karamatsu-niisan…”

“I can stop if you don’t want it you know. Just say it and I will stop.”

“I…”

But before he got to say a thing, he was suddenly hit with a pain in his chest. His pupils widened with pain. Todomatsu sat up, pushing Karamatsu out and started vomiting. Blood. Blood on his hand. It smeared on his clothes and stained the floor. Karamatsu was dumbfounded for a moment.

What was wrong with him? It hurt. It hurt.

He heard his older brother rushed to his side, calling his name but he was just too tired, he couldn’t say a thing. Karamatsu’s face was the last thing he saw before being caught by darkness.

“TODOMATSU!!!”
