Thanks to the brothers help you are back on schedule, and in fact a little bit ahead of schedule. You are going to open in a week, and even though you are a bit of a nervous wreck you are excited. You have everything you need, and will start making all of your delicious food two days before your cafe will open.

You had bought some paint markers to write your cafe name on the window, but couldn't decide what colors… It felt wrong not using the others and only using one, so…

You used all of them.

The outcome was just what you pictured and you pat yourself on the back proudly. You made the decision for your cafe name a long time ago, and you still love it. When you first came up with the idea you were with a friend who was telling you to follow your dreams. The two of you came up with the name to be symbolic and a reminder so you would never give up.

You wonder if the others will know what it is. After all it's your favorite phrase, and you say it so much how could they not know. Your cafe's name is, Leap of Faith.

You smile finishing up the touches on the door before drawing cute little things like a cat, a sun, flowers, coffee, and cake. You're happy with your work, and notice one part of the window looks a bit empty. You grab your supplies and get set working on a new picture. This one makes you giddy. Once you're finished you put everything away and admire your cafe once more.

"One day this place is going to be filled with customers," you tell yourself.

You stretch and decide to see how the brothers are.

:Hey: you text.

:(y/n)! How are you? Cafe doing well?: Todomatsu replies.

You smile and text back :Yep! All thanks to you and your brothers. How are you and your brothers anyways?:

:I'm doing great I guess, but I know Choromatsu nii-san isn't...: he texts back.

:What why?: you send.

:Choromatsu nii-san went to a job interview, but apparently it went really badly and he started freaking out…: he replies.

:Where is he?: you ask.

:Probably at the park: he says.

You quickly end the conversation and grab your thin jacket. You lock up and start walking to the park. He may not be there, but you had to see…

"(y/n)?"

You turn and see Osomatsu is hiding behind a tree. You give him a strange look before joining him.

"What are you doing here?" you ask.

"Making sure Choromatsu is alright…" he tells you.

"That's why I'm here too actually…" you reply with a weak smile.

He nods and says, "He won't talk to me! He just shuts me out! How can I help when all he does is shut me out?!"

You shush him, "Shh, I know it's a bit tricky to understand, but I have a good idea that he's embarrassed and thinks, you think that he's weak."

He look horrified, "I would never think that! We all have our issues! Sure we joke about it, but we never want it to escalate to something scary…"

You reply without thinking, "Just like how you make Karamatsu insecure enough to think you hate him?"

"Wait what?" he asks shocked.

You bite your tongue, "Kara hates being called painful… I know you think it's a joke, but now… Now he believes you actually hate him…"

"Oh my god…" Osomatsu says.

You nod, "He doesn't know I told you that so please don't mention it, but please try to be more considerate…"

Osomatsu looks guilty and says, "I'm a terrible older brother huh?"

You feel so sad seeing his hurt expression and hug him, "No you are not! You just need a little guidance sometimes, but you care about your brothers. I know that much! You want to keep them safe you just don't know how and that's ok!"

He smiles weakly, "How do you know what to do?"

You're at a loss of words not knowing what to say but seeing his curious expression dive into worry you tell him,

"It's easy when you've had to deal with yourself like that alone…"

His eyes get big, "Wait what?"

You shake your head, "When you have no one but yourself to rely on for comfort you learn to be sensitive and how to help others…"

He stares at you differently and you pat his shoulder, "Go home make sure Kara feels loved, and I'll get Choromatsu home."

He watches you as you walk towards the green matsu on the bench alone. You gently pat his shoulder and watch him jolt before looking up into your eyes. You smile gently seeing the red around his eyes before sitting next to him. He looks away from you, and your heart breaks.

"I'm assuming someone told you about my freakout?" he mutters.

"Yea, Totty told me what happened," you inform him.

He grimaces and you gently grab his arm, "Choromatsu I don't think you're weak and I understand, having all that pressure on you isn't easy."

"How can you understand?" his voice cracks.

You smile sadly, "I've been dealing with anxiety for about 9 years, so I like to think I know a lot about what your feeling…"

He looks up to you with wide eyes, "You have anxiety?"

You nod, "And a boat load of other great stuff!"

He stares at you with a new understanding and says, "What caused your anxiety?"

"My parents," you say distastefully.

He nods, "Mine was always trying to be the best, to make my mother proud, to be known for something other than being a sextuplet…"

You lean against his shoulder slowly, "My parents tried to form me in their image. If I wasn't what they wanted they would make me feel horrible about it. I don't think they realized they were on the border of verbal abuse or not…"

He gives you a horrified expression, "That sounds terrible!"

You shrug, "It was how I grew up… They were cruel and strict, but they were my parents."

He shakes his head, "No parent should treat their child like that…"

You smile, "See look at that! Already something great about you!"

"What?" he asks confused.

You laugh, "You said you wanted to be known for something else well here's a few things. Your kind, organized, funny, understanding, caring, and you have your priorities straight!"

He stares at you in awe as you beam up at him, "And not to mention you have such a cute face! Even if it may match your brothers…"

He blushes bright red before laughing and hugging you. You wrap your arms around him, and then nuzzle into the crook of his neck. He shakes slightly and holds you close as you hug him just as close. He finally releases you, and you decide to walk home hand in hand. At one point you hook arms and rest your head on his shoulder. He blushes at your closeness, but also doesn't seem to mind.

"Were home!" Choromatsu calls walking inside.

You take off your shoes and walk into the home happily. You see the brothers are surrounding Karamatsu who is trembling.

"Karamatsu?" you call.

He looks up at you and all you see is pure anger.

"You promised you wouldn't tell!" he yells.

You're taken aback and look to Osomatsu who gives you a sympathetic look. Karamatsu gets up and walks towards you huffing.

"You PROMISED!" he roars.

You feel your throat close and heart rate pick up. Your hands start to tremble, and you feel like your entire body is about to shut down. You try to open your mouth to form some sort of word, something! But your body refuses and all you do is stare helplessly into Karamatsu's eyes.

"Even you hate me!" he spats before running out of the house.

Your body suddenly spills into overdrive as you watch him run. He is in a very bad spot mentally, and if he now believes everyone hates him….

"Oh my God," you mutter.

You sprint out of the house chasing after the blue matsu, and know exactly where he's heading. You see the others catch up and look to you questioningly. You have no idea what to say, so instead, you run.

You see the bridge nearing and as you watch Karamatsu reach the railing and peer over something inside of you snaps. You do something you haven't done in a long time.

You scream.

"KARAMATSU DON'T YOU DARE!"

He stops and looks into your eyes as you run as fast as possible. He panics and jumps over to the other side, but not any further. Your lungs seem to stop working, but your legs seem to be in overdrive. You reach him and watch him carefully.

"Karamatsu please," you practically beg.

He holds doubt in his eyes by your words, but doesn't move so you shift closer.

"You are loved Kara," you tell him.

He shakes his head tears rolling down his cheeks, "By who!? My brothers ignore me! And YOU betrayed me!"

You shake your head as your lip quivers, "Please Kara! Your brothers DO love you! Please just get back over here!"

"Karamatsu please," Osomatsu tries, "we are so sorry, I'm so sorry I never meant for this to happen!"

"Karamatsu, (y/n) is right we DO love you so please come back sextuplets ARE better than quintuplets!" Choromatsu exclaims.

"Karamatsu I-I'm so sorry for everything I've done… I'm such trash and you're always so confident I-I was jealous…" Ichimatsu says.

Jyushimatsu practically yells, "Nii-san please! We love you! We love you so much! Please come back over!"

Todomatsu nods, "Were telling the truth Nii-san! I know I don't always show it, but I do care about you guys and I love all of you!"

"Karamatsu I can PROMISE you it gets better…" you tell him brokenly.

"How can you be so sure?" He asks crying.

You take a deep breath, "Cause I was standing right there about a year ago…"

Everyone goes silent.

"What?" he asks.

You sigh brokenly, "I was a wreck, I lost everything and I wanted nothing more than the pain to end, but someone saved me…. I don't know who she is, but to me she's my guardian angel like how I was for you. She saw me on this bridge and looked me in the eyes and said-"

"Why waste such a pretty face on ugly water like that?"

Karamatsu stares at you with wide eyes, "That's the same line you told me…"

You nod, "She was the one who believed in me, and told me to take a leap of faith. So that way, I could follow my dreams…"

He replies, "You promise that things get better…?"

You nod, "As long as you're willing…"

Karamatsu doubles over sobbing, "I-I don't wanna die!"

Everyone rushes forward reaching for him as he clutches the bridge. The brothers manage to grab him and heave him over gently. They proceed to wrap him in a big hug telling him how sorry they are.

You feel air fill your lungs with relief and drop to your knees exhausted. You had noticed everyone was crying during their efforts to convince Karamatsu and in the midst of your relief your dam fell. Hot wet tears started to pour out of your eyes as you watch the 6 brothers comfort each other.

They notice the tears streaking down your face and pull you in as well. You hold Karamatsu tightly crying your eyes out in relief. You feel complete exhaustion take over and lay limp on Karamatsu. You are still awake, but feel too exhausted to walk. Jyushimatsu lifts you up and he wipes away your tears smiling. You smile back and with a sigh you face them all.

"I love you guys," you tell them tiredly.

They seem taken aback before smiling and replying all at once, "We love you too (y/n)."
