"MALL!" Both Todomatsu and Jyushimatsu yelled with excitement, Todomatsu hitting Karamatsu on the mouth.
"Time to go find some," his shades fell off of his forehead and onto his nose, "Karamatsu girls. Or boys, I'm not picky." He whispered that last part
You felt a sharp pang in your left leg, causing you to stumble a bit. Osomatsu took a deep, sharp breath in, clutching his chest. Choromatsu grabbed his stomach and Ichimatsu screamed "PAINFUL!" Jyushimatsu just laughed gleefully while Todomatsu reached for you, not wanting to be around this idiot any longer than necessary. Besides, you have a decent fashion sense.
You scooped the toddler out of Karamatsu's arms, placing him on your shoulders. "Choromatsu, where do you wanna go first?" You looked at the boy.
"You let the OTAKU pick a store?!" Osomatsu whispered in your ear.
You hit him on the head. Hearing him squeal in surprise was satisfying. Choromatsu looked hesitant. Sure, everyone knew he liked idols but he didn't want to seem WEIRD! But, it was (Y/n) offering. "I wanna go to that one." He mumbled and pointed at the little store.
It was a small store that sold idol merchandise. You could hear the little groans of complaint about to escape through the rest of the boys and you gave them the best death stare possible. Choro had the cutest little skip in his step as you walked in. You couldn't stop smiling as you entered the store. Oso wouldn't stop smiling either. It was a pretty adorable sight. The ten-year old rushed over to some Vocaloid items, a little chibi figurine with a leek in her hands staring back at him. His eyes sparkled. You'll leave him be for now.
You divert your eyes from Choro and instead look at the Polar opposites talking to the nice cashier. The poor person at the register seemed to be slightly annoyed by the ball of energy that is Jyushimatsu. You decided to intervene. "C'mere munchkin." You lifted him up with your free hand that wasn't making sure that Todomatsu wouldn't fall off.
"I'M SO HIGH UP! Ichi nii-san you're so tiny down there." Jyushi said happily.
"Oh. Yeah. You are so high up." Ichimatsu looked up at you and Jyushi with a stoic little face.
Little Todomatsu was too busy looking at the pretty cashier. He winked at her and smirked. "Hi! I'm Todomachu!" He said happily.
"Hi Todomatsu." The cashier said to him, smiling at the adorable child.
He giggled and tapped his hands on your head.
"You're nice! Like (Y/n) nii-san/nee-san! Aren't they nice (Y/n) nii-san/nee-san?" Jyushimatsu cheered.
Ichimatsu just gave them an awkward thumbs up. Then, he walked away toward Choromatsu, who was gawking at some Nya-chan t-shirts. He saw the cat ears next to him, didn't he. That wasn't a question. You put down Jyushimatsu, who wanted to look at whatever Ichimatsu was looking at.
"(Y/n) nii-san/nee-san! Look!" Choromatsu ran up to you, holding some adorable Nya-chan wristbands and a phone charm, "Aren't they cute?!"
You nodded and rang them up. "That'll be ¥1530.80."
"My wallet will be empty by the time we leave this dang mall!" You cried to yourself.
You handed Choromatsu the bag and walked out of the store yelling, "let's get moving boys! I still have five other people to treat!"
The children RAN at you like cheetahs. "ME NEXT ME NEXT!" They all screamed in unison, except for Choromatsu, who was busy dancing to the music in the store.
"Just decide with rock-paper-scissors. It's not that hard, right? I'll be with Totty by the food court until you guys decide." You said, walking away.
Totty softly sang one of the songs that you always listened to, but he didn't know the lyrics, so he just sang what he thought was being said. "Donna yoru mo mata hi wa noboru," sounded more like, "Donma yuru wo mata hiwa noboku." You laughed at him.
You sat down, putting Todomatsu into your lap. He was babbling away about his new friends: Atsushi, Sacchi, and Aida.
"ME NEXT ME NEXT ME NEXT!" You heard from a mile away.
You already knew where this was going. You lifted both yourself and Todomatsu up and started walking towards the loud laughing from a certain boy in yellow. "Jyushimatsu. What store?" You quickly asked.
"Sports! Baseball! Batter-up! Strike one! Strike Two! Strike three! OUT! Home-run! Touchdown! Grand-slam!" He yelled from atop Osomatsu's shoulders.
You just walked to the sports store, Ichimatsu being the only one lagging behind. His face was twisted in a confused way before he softly said, "wasn't one of those a football term?"
Nothing interesting happened at the sports store. Jyushimatsu got a metal bat and a ball.
Then, you guys went to a clothing store for both Karamatsu and Todomatsu. Totty was busy modelling for Karamatsu, who was taking pictures, Ichimatsu was with Jyushimatsu looking at a sweater with a paw design, and Osomatsu was mercilessly teasing Choromatsu about something. Todomatsu got an adorable shirt with a bunny on it (that he picked) and Karamatsu got a blue button-up (also picked out by Todomatsu).
At the pet store, you bought Ichimatsu a giant bag of dried sardines for his cat friends. You also got a bag for Osomatsu.
After leaving the pet store, Osomatsu immediately steered himself in the direction of the food court. He practically started running, yelling something about how hungry he is. Jyushimatsu ran after him, prompting Ichimatsu to run as well, because their arms were linked together. Todomatsu ran after them, Karamatsu pretending to run next to him. Choromatsu was the last to snap to his senses. He was running and screaming, "OSOMATSU! BE CAREFUL! YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK SOMEONE'S BACK LIKE LAST TIME!"
You purposefully stayed back, not wanting to be held accountable for anyone dying at the hands of these idiots.
After getting everyone some food, your wallet was empty. You guys had to go home anyways, Totty was asleep in Karamatsu's arms. So, you guys embarked on the short walk home.
