Chapter 2: Leaving to Unknown Territory:
Author's Note: Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted much of anything. I'm hoping as time goes on, I'll be able to get to this more often than not. School started last month and I'm on the rebound and heading for the girls basketball team or Cross country. So everything is trying to attack me at once. I deeply apologize. But, I'll be here as often as I can. Now, that that's all over. Time for the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Osomatsu-san goes to the original creators.
NOW, ON WITH THE STORY!
The next morning, it was time to leave with their new 'fiance's'. It was hectic to say the least, there was a lot of screaming and crying but, for different reasons. The people around them couldn't really blame the triplets though, with what they were currently going through.
"LET. GO. OF. ME!" Osomatsu roared as he fought against Karamatsu's restraining hold. "I'm NOT going! Let go of me, you damn painful asshole!"
Karamatsu grunted as an elbow hit him straight between the ribs. Grunting once more, he heaved the younger teen over the shoulder and began to head towards the boat that was taking them back to his homeland, watching the servants rush back and forth while carrying their luggage.
'Too bad, I can't help them load our luggage…' He thought, frowning thoughtfully. 'It doesn't seem like they need too much help anyway…'
He watched as they loaded the luggage for a bit more before, shifting his own package none too gently. He stopped when Osomatsu slumped against him, seemingly tired, if the heavy pants were any indication.
"Karamatsu-kun," He heard Osomatsu's father call out to him. Looking over, he noticed the sad and tired look on the older male's face as he looked at his eldest son. Looking up at the blue eyed Matsuno, he silently beckoned him closer. Walking over, the eldest bent in front of the short man, eyes questioning.
"Osomatsu is my eldest son." The short man began. "Please, he's very sick. Take care of him. He means well, he's just scared, hurt and upset."
Feeling the man's sadness, he looked away as an awkward feeling settled into his stomach. He felt his insides churn as the man continued.
"I'm their father and I gave them to people they've never met before without giving them a say… I feel terrible in all honesty." Matsuzo said. "I thought this would be better if they don't have to worry about work, hospital bills or any of that! But, it seemed to have backfired and exploded in my face instead…"
"He'll warm up to it eventually." Karamatsu found himself reassuring without thinking. "He'll see you only had the best interests in mind."
Looking over at his fiance, he felt a smile grace his lips as he noticed the exhausted male had fallen asleep and was leaning against the boats wall.
"I'll protect him." He promised, looking back over at the older male. "I'll make sure he gets better too."
And, with that parting statement, Matsuzo walked off to go help Ichimatsu with Jyushimatsu, leaving Karamatsu to his thoughts.
Ichimatsu felt himself grow annoyed quickly. His sunshine didn't want to come with him and get on the boat peacefully, instead, opting to struggle and cry loudly.
"You need to get on the boat!" He growled through gritted teeth. "Come on Jyushimatsu!"
His sunshine shook his head, eyes filled to the brim with tears as his sleeve covered hands gripped the door with inhuman strength and held on for all it's worth. He gripped it tighter as he pulled to no avail to try and get Ichimatsu to let go.
"I don't want to…" He whined, pulling forward once again. Giving another growl, Ichimatsu gave another hard tug and finally, the other came loose like an unhinged door.
"I-I don't wanna…!" He cried out, starting to sob into his kimono sleeves. "I like living here!"
Ichimatsu opened his mouth to retort angrily, when Jyushimatsu's dad came over and hugged his second youngest tightly to his chest.
"Don't worry son." The man whispered petting the disheveled hair. "You'll be back and you'll see everyone again soon."
The wails and cried died down to whimpers, which eventually quieted down to sniffles and Ichimatsu was surprised with how easily the older man was able to calm his son down so gently.
"Now," the small man spoke firmly, helping Jyushimatsu up. "Go and apologize."
The yellow kimono wearing teen slunk forward towards Ichimatsu's stiff and tense form with the look of a dejected on his face.
"I… I'm sorry…" He whispered looking at the floor shyly.
"Tch…" He sucked his teeth, trying to seem like he didn't care. "Whatever, let's go."
They shuffled onto the boat in a much needed silence. Ichimatsu watched as Jyushimatsu shuffled over to his brother's still form against the wall. His dark purple eyes softened when, the other gently pushed Osomatsu's head onto his lap and began to pet the silky locks gently.
'My brother used to do that to me…' He thought, a nostalgic feeling washing over him. 'Then, one turned painful and the other turned into a stiff prick…'
Said stiff, walked onto the boat, briskly and just about dragging the youngest of the finances along with him. Ichimatsu watched with wide-shocked eyes as his brother sat the pink clad male with his other two brothers rather roughly.
"Stay." He said in a firm, demanding more like it, tone. "Don't move until we get there."
The younger simply nodded, pink eyes filling with tears as he looked at his two older brothers, he too cuddled up to Jyushimatsu, while the other simply smiled and hugged him close. Stomping over to his brother, Ichimatsu distantly heard the crew members yelling at one another, he was focused on one thing and one person only.
"Why the hell are you treating him like that?" He grounded out as calmly as possible, as his brother flinched back before looking down guiltily. "He's just scared and confused! No need to be so rough with him!"
"I… didn't know what else to say…" Choromatsu murmured. "What am I supposed to say in a situation like that?"
Breathing heavily through his nose, Ichimatsu turned away from his brother, giving him the stink eye silently, instead of engaging with him further.
"Tch… Whatever…"
Soon, the boat was off and floating in the ocean towards their destination. There were many emotions running through the air during the trip. Some were mutual others were different from everyone else around them.
'I can't believe that we're leaving…' Osomatsu thought, watching as everything he had grown to love disappeared into the horizon.
'My friends… my family…' Todomatsu thought, shoving his face into his eldest brother's chest to hide his teary eyed expression from view. 'All gone…'
'My papa…' Jyushimatsu thought looking down at his sleeve covered hands. 'My life… and my job…'
Osomatsu hugged both of them close to himself. He made a silent promise to himself, he wouldn't let them get hurt. Not as long as he could do something about it, that is.
'I swear to it…' He thought determinedly. Looking over, he glared at Karamatsu with blood red eyes. 'I'll protect them from you guys…'
Karamatsu looked back coolly, with calm blue eyes. He understood as an elder brother himself but, he made a promise himself that he wasn't keen on or going to break either way and he swore to it to the teens dad and himself.
'I'll protect and love you,' He thought closing his eyes and turning away. 'I'll help you get better.'
