Karamatsu's POV
A week has passed after me and Ichimatsu became a couple. Nobody knew of course but I think today will change all of it. Yep. Ichimatsu and I agreed that today will be the day we're gonna tell our brothers about our relationship.
I just hope that they'll still accept us after that. I'm honestly more concerned about Ichimatsu more than myself.
It was already afternoon and all of us were doing our daily routine. Osomatsu reading his comics, me staring at my beautiful face, Choromatsu still trying to look for a job, Ichimatsu looking adorable while playing with his cat on the couch, frequently glancing at me time to time, Jyushimatsu swinging his bat a thousand times and Todomatsu fixated on his phone.
I looked at Ichimatsu and we both nodded at each other. I guess it's time huh?
I stood up and cleared my throat. I felt grateful when they all focused their attention to me instead of usually ignoring me.
I hid my hands in both of my pocket so they can't see them trembling. I'm actually pretty nervous right now but I don't want them to notice that.
"I uhh..." I looked at Ichimatsu to see him blushing a little, cute. I turned and gazed at everyone again. "I have something to say."
"Ehh.. What? That you and Ichimatsu are a couple?" I turned pale when I heard Osomatsu's remarks.
"Y-You knew?" I turned and looked at Ichimatsu again who looks a little uncomfortable.
Everyone gave me a blank stare for a few seconds then they all yelled, "WHAT!?" in unison.
All of their faces plastered shock. Except for Jyushimatsu who's still wearing his huge smile.
"EHH!?? IT IS REAL!?" Osomatsu slammed his hands in the table.
"W-What? But I thought you already knew?" I gulped, feeling a little bit of sweat dripping down the side of my face.
"I WAS ACTUALLY BEING SARCASTIC! I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS REAL!!" Osomatsu yelled. "Besides, I saw you glancing at Ichimatsu so I thought of it as a joke.."
"Shut up oldest brother! Stop being insensitive already!" Choromatsu smacked Osomatsu in the head using a rolled newspaper.
"Ow!" Osomatsu responded as he rub the spot where he got hit.
"Anyway, Karamatsu, I respect your relationship with Ichimatsu but I just hope you made the right desicion." Chromatsu went to me and gave me a pat on the shoulder.
"Y-You're not mad?" I asked him.
"Huh? Why would I be? Sure, falling in love with your own brother is wrong but it's okay, we understand that and we'll support you." He gave me an encouraging smile.
I felt a pat on my back. I looked to my left and saw Totty smiling at me. "Don't worry Karamatsu-niisan. Just make sure to take care of Ichimatsu-niisan okay?"
I tried to hold back the tears. I'm so glad that they still accepted us. I couldn't help it. I went over to Ichimatsu and hugged him, tightly.
"Sheesh.. This is really hard to sink in. You're the two that I least expect to become a couple." I heard Osomatsu say.
"Haha! They're a couple!" I heard Jyushimatsu cheering for us.
Ichimatsu buried his face on my chest, probably feeling embarrassed but I couldn't help it. "Ichimatsu, you're so cute." I whispered.
"Tch.. Shut up." His voice was muffled but I still heard them clearly. I smiled.
"Jeez, you two are so lovey-dovey already that it actually makes me jealous." I turned my head and saw Osomatsu sitting beside us.
"Oh. Don't worry. You guys have my blessing." Osomatsu smiled at us, holding a thumbs up.
Third person's view
"Awww... They looks so cute don't you think so, Choromatsu-niisan?" Todomatsu smiled at Choromatsu, who's standing beside him.
"Yeah. I guess so. I never really thought incest existed in real life but here it is, right in front of me. I'm just glad that they're happy with each other." Choromatsu sighed but also smiled. Unfortunately the smile suddenly faded when he realized something.
"Aahhh! But w-what about mom and dad!? I don't think they'll approve of it!" Choromatsu felt anxious all of a sudden.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Then they'll keep it a secret, idiot!" Osomatsu smacked Choromatsu in the head, probably as a revenge.
Chromatsu just glared at him, not bothering to do anything.
"Yeah. I mean even if they're always together, mom and dad will just see it like they're bonding or something." Todomatsu said.
"True! True! Even if they end up living together, mom and dad will still think of them as brothers living in one house!" Jyushimatsu added.
"Then.. We'll keep it a secret. If that is for the best." Karamatsu nodded then looked at Ichimatsu. "Are you okay with that?" He placed his forehead against Ichimatsu's as he ask the question.
"Y-Yeah..." Ichimatsu muttered nervously. He still couldn't help turning red whenever Karamatsu brings his face closer to his'.
"Then! Case solved!" Osomatsu clapped his hands together.
Just when they were all about to celebrate, Todomatsu spoke up.
"U-Uhmm.. I have something to say. I need to be honest about it..." He looked down when all of the gazes focused on him.
"I'm in a relationship too.." Silence followed as his words echoed across the room.
A few seconds later, everyone was already lined up in front of him as they say "WITH WHOM!?" in unison.
"Ahh.. He's a friend of mine.." Todomatsu rubbed the back of his neck while backing up a little to distance himself from his brothers
"Ehh!?? A 'he'!?" Osomatsu shouted.
"Who are you referring to Totty?" Karamatsu asked.
"A-Atsushi-kun...." Todomatsu blushed as he said the name of his 'boyfriend'.
"EHHH!?? THE GUY YOU WENT TO THE MIXER WITH!?" Osomatsu shouted, again.
"Oi, can you please stop yelling? You're spitting all over me!" Todomatsu wiped his face.
"Ehh sorry." Osomatsu shrugged as he winked.
"Jeez, are we all seriously gonna end up dating guys?" Choromatsu crossed his arms.
"I have a girl!" Jyushimatsu responded, waving his arms around.
"Ohh, yeah except for you Jyushimatsu.."
"Todomatsu, how long have you been together?" For the first time, Ichimatsu spoke up.
"Ehh? Uhmm.. I think we've been going out for a month?" Todomatsu shrugged.
"Tch. You don't even remember." Ichimatsu snorted.
"Neh, Choromatsu. Are you also interested in guys?" Osomatsu placed his arm around Choromatsu's shoulders. Teasing him obviously.
"W-What!? Of course not! I'm only interested in Nyaa-chan and Totoko-chan!" He pushed Osomatsu's face away.
"Mehh... Well that's a waste." Osomatsu pouted.
Everything went back to normal after that. Months have passed and the sextuplets grew closer, having more time to bond with each other and sometimes revealing secrets. They fight too sometimes but they are always quick to make up.
Ichimatsu's POV
Few months have passed after me and Karamatsu declared our love for each other.
Now, we are sitting on the grass with my head leaning on his shoulder. He's currently playing his guitar right now while singing a song. I always feel relaxed whenever I listen to him singing. His voice is just really soothing, especially when you combine it with a beautiful scenery. Yes, we're back at the river again. This is where we usually hang out whenever we feel like it.
"I’m not afraid, anymore
I’m not afraid~"
He stared at me then smiled.
"Forever is a long time
But I wouldn't mind spending it
by your side~"
He gave me a peck on my forehead. Despite being red, I still couldn't avoid looking at him. He's just so alluring.
"Carefully we're placed for our destiny
You came and you took this heart, and set it free
Every word you write or sing is so warm to me, so warm to me
I’m torn, I’m torn to be right where you are~"
"I love you Ichimatsu. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Eh?" I sat up straight as he remove his guitar from his lap and placed on the grass beside him. After that, he took something from his pocket, clutching it and took my right hand.
"This will be the symbol of my love for you." He opened his hand, revealing a ring. My eyes widened.
"A-Are you seriously trying to propose to me?" I asked, sounding a little bit dumbfounded.
He just smirked at me. "Well, it's probably illegal for siblings to get married you know so this is how far I can only go. Ichimatsu, would you like to stay by my side forever?" He asked me with such a sincere voice.
"I-Idiot.. You already know the answer to that." I pouted a little, looking down.
"Hehe~ But I wanna hear you say it. Please?" He begged.
"Fine." I looked at him, gazing into his dark brown eyes. "Yes, i wanna stay with you for the rest of my life." I blushed as I said those words. But good thing I manage to smile at him while doing so.
"I'm glad." He finally slipped the ring into my ring finger. "You're mine forever." He smiled at me as he brings his face closer to mine. He sealed our vows with a kiss.
After pulling out the kiss, I examined the ring he gave me. I was a bit surprised to see what was engraved on it.
"A cat paw?" I asked.
"Yeah. I thought you'll love it. And also I chose it because it looked exactly what you signed on the bottom of the stickynote." He did a thumbs up.
"Ahh yeah.." The memories came flashing back to me. The stickynote.. Everything started because of it, right? I still remember that time when I desperately wanted to know the meaning of love. I was really confused back then but little did I know that that was all actually because of Karamatsu. I was already in love with him before I knew it.
Well, that sounds complicated. At first, I hated him and couldn't stand being around with him but now, he ended up being the person I love the most and will spend the rest of my life with.
Wow.
He seriously made my mind completely messed up.
But hey, that's one thing I love about him.
