For Mcnugget56
I was sitting in the corner of the enclosure as my siblings were picked out while I was left alone. I was a shiba inu puppy and no one wanted me specifically. All because I had unique eyes. I had one blue eye and one purple eye. I whine as I thought all hope was lost until a woman came in. "Hello I'm looking for a dog for my sons." She says "oh how many?" The worker asks and the woman chuckles with a blush.
"I have 10 year old sextuplets. A rare case I know."
"You know. I have just the pup for you." The worker says before walking over to pick me up which surprised me. The worker hands me to the woman who held me from under my front legs. "Oh wow. Blue and purple eyes. That is rare." She says and I fold my ears back "She is perfect. I'll take her." My ears perk up and I wag my tail happily. "What's her name?" She asks and the worker smiles as I lick my new owner's face.
"Her name is y/n."
....
I was nervous when Matsuyo, I learned her name, places me on the floor. "They should be home from school soon and I have to prepare dinner. So you stay here y/n." She says and I nod. She walks off to the kitchen but the curiosity got the better of me. I walk around the house when I was done exploring I walk over to the front door. I sat down and stare patiently at the door with a wagging tail.
Then I hear the sounds of footsteps before the door was thrown open. "Ha! I beat you gu-huh?" It was a boy no older than 10. Then five other identical boys walk in. "Jyushimatsu, What's wro-oh." One of them say as I wag my tail and bark to greet them. "Mooom!" They call and their mom comes out from the kitchen.
"Welcome home boys. That's y/n. She's our new pet." She says before going back to the kitchen. They all go on their hands and knees to look at me with awe. "Hi y/n, I'm Osomatsu the eldest. Next is Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu." Each one of the brothers raise their hand and say hello as they were called. I nod and walk up to lick Osomatsu on the cheek.
He laughs and picks me up as he stood up. "She is so cute!" He coos followed by his brothers as they all pet me.
I think I'm going to like it here.
....
I was walking with a now 18 Osomatsu through the city. It's been 8 years and I love these boys. They all adore me. I was full grown now. Anyway we were walking down the streets with people stopping to pet and coo at me. I hear Osomatsu let out a sigh as we sat down on a park bench. I lift a paw onto his knee. "What's wrong?" I ask but it came out as I whine.
"I'm okay girl..I guess I just..it's silly but I'm 18 and still haven't had a girlfriend..heh what am I saying? You probably don't even understand."
I whine softly and lay my head on his lap. "I do understand...and I'll help you." I pick up my head and look around. My eyes lock on Totoko. "She's perfect!" I exclaim as a bark before rushing forward pulling Osomatsu behind. "Woah! Y/n! Heel girl!" He shouts but I pull and snap the leash, pouncing onto Totoko. She fell back with a squeal but laughs when she saw me.
"H-Hello again y/n." She says before scratching my head "y/n! Oh my gosh I am so sorry Totoko! I don't know what got into her." Osomatsu says pulling me off and helping up Totoko. "It's ok-ah!" She yells as I nudge her to fall onto Osomatsu but not knocking them back. I watch with a smile as Totoko and Osomatsu stare into each other's eyes with a blush.
"S-Sorry..I guess I slipped." Totoko says and Osomatsu smiles "it's okay. I'll be here to catch you." Totoko hums and looks down "um Osomatsu...would you..want to go out sometime? Like for a date?" She asks and I wag my tail happily. Osomatsu blushes and looks at me as I smile. He gave me a look before nodding "I'd love to."
After talking about when and where Totoko left with a kiss on Osomatsu's cheek. Osomatsu lays a hand on his cheek and looks down at me. I just smile and stand up to walk to him as he beckons me forward. He kneels down and pets my head. "I guess you did understand." I nod and bark softly "yep." He smiles and nuzzles my fluffy head
"Thank you y/n. You're a good girl."
....
Boy's age 24
I was walking around the house when I saw Karamatsu with his head down on the living room table. He back was shaking and I heard his whimpers. I walk over and nudge his side. He lifts his head and turns to look at me. He had been crying and I whine before licking his face. "Heh. I'm okay y/n...it's just my brothers..thank you for caring you sweet girl." I whine and nuzzle his face before placing my paw on his shoulder and pull him into a hug.
I hear him sob softly before hugging me back and burying his face into my fur. I nuzzle my face into his head, pulling away slightly to lick his tears away. He chuckles and scratches my head. "Thank you y/n." I walk over to his guitar laying on the floor and nudge it with my paw. He smiles and picks up the guitar, sitting down in front of me to play.
He became to play a simple tune as I howl with the music. I love when he plays guitar and he seems happy that I love to listen and "sing" along with him. When he finishes he hugs me.
"You are a sweetheart. Thank you."
....
I was sitting outside waiting for Choromatsu. I was his turn to take me for a walk but he had a concert to go to. Some Idol named Nyaa-chan so I stayed like a good dog while he had his fun. Now I should say I don't have a collar with a tag. No I have a scarf that is the 6 colors of the brothers hoodies. I loved the scarf it was much better fitting than I collar would be.
As I was sitting a little boy came up to me and started to pet me. I lean in to his touch and wag my tail. He smiles and scratches under my muzzle. Then his father showed up he looked very nice as he says "well aren't you a beautiful dog." and pets me. "Dad I want a dog like this one." His son says and I lick his face. He may have been a stranger but he was so nice to me.
I saw the dad look at my neck before looking around. He then reaches down and picks me up. I was confused to say the least. Then he started to walk off and I panic. Choromatsu was counting on me staying put I couldn't leave. So I squirm and whine. Then I saw Choromatsu leave the building and immediately look around frantically. So I bark loud "Choromatsu! I'm over here!"
Hearing my bark he turns and the anger on his face scared me as he rushes up. "OI! Put her down!" He yells and both the father and son stop. They turn around and they father gave Choromatsu a look while Choromatsu glares. "What do you mean put her down?" The father asks "That's my dog. Put her down now." Choromatsu says trying to stay calm as I whine softly.
"Oh really? Can you prove that she's yours?"
Choromatsu smirks "well that scarf could be proof enough that she does belong to someone but yes I can prove she is mine. Put her down." The man complies and places me down. Choromatsu bent down and pats his knees "y/n. Jump." I nod and carefully jump into his open arms, nuzzling my face into his neck, and basically hugging him. I pull away and lick his cheek.
"Good girl..as you can see she is my dog. Bye bye." Choromatsu says before turning to leave still holding me. He reaches up to scratch my ears with a smile.
"I'm never gonna leave you alone again. Sorry y/n." I just lick his face and he laughs before setting me down.
"Come on girl. Let's go home."
....
Ichimatsu was sick. He looked miserable too but because his brothers wanted him to rest they kept me out of their bedroom. Though being the smart dog I am I push my way through the door. Sure enough he looked absolutely miserable. I walk over and lightly nudge his face. He groans and opens his eyes. He smiles weakly and reaches out to pet my head.
"Hey girl..you must've been worried well I'm okay..just congested and stuff."
I hum and lay down, placing my head on his chest. I look up at him as he pets my head. "You really going to stay here?" I lick his hand as a yes and he smiles "well okay then..don't blame me if you get sick." I wag my tail and watch him as he fell asleep. I snuggle up into his chest and drift off to sleep as well.
Even if I contracted the sickness he had, I'm not leaving him to suffer from sickness. I would never leave any of them alone.
I am loyal and will be loyal till the very end.
....
I was watching Jyushimatsu and Homura talk. Homura being Jyushimatsu's girlfriend. I had a ball in my mouth ready to play. I walk over and nudge Jyushimatsu. I sat down wagging my tail as he turns. He glances at the ball and took it. I got ready and he tosses it so I went to retrieve it. I came back over and paw Jyushimatsu's shoulder. He sighs before tossing it again.
When I came back I paw at his shoulder again but he kept focus on talking with Homura. I tilt my head and paw at his back. He sighs and pets my head but kept listening to Homura. I nudge my head against his back and he turns around but I was startled when he raises his voice.
"Y/n! I'm trying to talk with Homura! If you want to play go find my brothers or play outside. We can play later."
He turns back to Homura and my ears droop slightly before I left. I walk upstairs and into their bedroom, my room as well, laying down in a corner and dropping the ball. I roll the ball under my paw before dropping my head to the floor with a whine.
"Why did he seem mad at me? The brothers have never raised their voices at me..So what did I do wrong? Does he not want to play with me anymore?...heh I guess he would rather spend time with his girlfriend huh? Makes sense..I am just a dog after all. I'm not that important am I?" I say to myself and felt tears leave my eyes before I whimper and start crying.
So here I was curled in the corner for like a hour when I hear the door open I slowly turn my head to see Karamatsu. "Y/n? Why are you in corner?" He walks over and lifts my head "you look so sad..what's wrong girl?" I just sigh and drop my head from his hand, turning away from him. He hums and pets my back "I'll be right back y/n. Stay here." I gave no response. No nod. No bark. Just silence.
I stay put as Karamatsu left and a minute later came back up with the rest including Homura. I glance at them and look away with a sigh. "See. That's what I mean. Something's wrong with her." Karamatsu says while I roll the ball under my paw. Glancing over again I saw Jyushimatsu place his sleeve covered hand over his mouth. He had a sad guilty expression on his face. He walks away from Homura and his brothers, sitting on his knees in front of me.
I gave him a glance as he drops his hand before lifting me up into a hug. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice. I also shouldn't have pushed you away." I sigh with a whine "please don't be sad because of me. We can play now if you want." He pushed his face into my fur and I could feel slight dampness. "I'm so so sorry." I nudge his head up to reveal that he was in fact crying a little. So I lean forward and lick his face to clear the tears away.
He laughs and smiles "so you want to go play outside?" I nod as he picks up the ball. I walk over to Homura and tug at her skirt with a begging look. She looks at me and Osomatsu laughs "she wants you to play as well Homura." He says and Homura let out an oh before nodding to me. I wag my tail before all of us, yeah all 8 of us, went outside.
From that day Jyushimatsu learned to not raise his voice at me unless I really was in trouble.
As for me well I learned that if the brothers seem busy don't just walk up to them and disrupt them.
....
I woke up from my nap to find that the house seemed empty so I walk downstairs to walk around and to eat because I was hungry. So I went downstairs to go to the kitchen where my food dish was. When I passed by the living room I heard a movie playing but also heard a soft squeak and sigh. I hum and tilt my head. So someone is home. I think before nudging the door open. I saw that there was in fact a movie playing.
But I also saw Todomatsu being kissed by another man.
I did recognize the man as Atsushi but I was confused about why he was kissing Todomatsu. I walk into the room and sat down with a soft bark. Todomatsu jumps and pulls away. "Oh hey y/n." He says with a blush on his face. I walk over and smile "I feel like you're judging me." He says making Atsushi look at him. "Todomatsu she's a dog. I doubt she is judging you." Atsushi says before petting my head.
"You'd be surprised. I swear she is smirking." I look at Todomatsu with a smirk and Todomatsu narrows his eyes. I just smile and lean into Atsushi's touch.
Atsushi left after a hour and I watch him kiss Todomatsu goodbye with a smile. After he left Todomatsu turns to me "I know you're smirking. Stop that." I smile and nuzzle against his legs. He sighs and kneels down to pet me. "How can you be so smug as a dog?" He asks and I just lick his cheek. He giggles and hugs me. It didn't matter to me if Todomatsu was with a boy. I mean same thing goes for Karamatsu.
They are still the boys I grew up with and I love them dearly. That will never change.
....
Boy's age 32
I watch happily as the last of the brothers got married. Osomatsu was the first into marriage with Totoko. Then Choromatsu followed not long after with Reika, that Nyaa-chan girl. Then Jyushimatsu and Homura. Karamatsu and Chibita. Ichimatsu and this girl named Ichiko. Lastly was Todomatsu who ended up marrying Atsushi. I smile with a hum as Todomatsu and Atsushi seal their marriage with a kiss. I was in the crowd sat beside their mom and dad.
I howl happily when they kissed making everyone smile or laugh as they cheer. After howling I smile tiredly. I got to see each of the brothers get married to someone they love. Someone who can keep them happy and take care of them as they care for them as well.
That made me happy.
That they have someone to love and care for when I'm gone.
Two weeks pass and I'm at home tiredly looking at all of the photos from the past and a few recent. Like one of me with Osomatsu and Totoko when they had their first baby boy. I smile at the photo of me and the boys when they were only 10. I felt tears in my eyes as I look at the memories before laying down in that hallway.
You see the breed of dog I am is meant to only live to 15 years of age. I was 22 years old. I lived a whole 7 extra years. Just so I could see my owners find love and be married. Now that that was done. I could relax and let my body rest. I saw Matsuyo walk down the hall and see me. "Hello y/n. Tired?" She asks before kneeling to lay a hand on my side. I saw her eyes widen as she froze, placing a hand on my heart.
"Oh..oh dear..I better call the boys."
She rushed over to the phone and I listen to the conversation. Saying for them to hurry over because my heart has slowed way down. Most of the brothers were calm over the phone..except Karamatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu who yell in shock before yelling that they would be right over. She hangs up and walks over to me.
"Come on girl. Let's get you in bed at least." She says before picking me up and walking upstairs to the bedroom. She gently lays me on my soft bed and strokes my back slowly. "Y/n..I know it's too much to ask and probably impossible for you to manage...but can you hold on just a little more so my boys can say goodbye?" I look up tiredly to see her smile, trying not to cry
"If you were to pass before they got to say goodbye...they'd be heartbroken. Especially Karamatsu and Ichimatsu, you've helped them the most. In more ways than one."
I smile and lift my head to lick her cheek. She looks at me and I nod placing a paw on her leg. She smiles and kisses my head.
"Thank you. I'll miss you, you magnificent girl."
The downstairs door was thrown open before the voices of Choromatsu, Osomatsu, and Todomatsu call out. "Upstairs!" Matsuyo calls before going to meet them. I hear footsteps rush upstairs and hear Matsuyo explain the situation. "She is holding on the best she can but she doesn't have long." I hear her say before seeing Todomatsu peek in with Atsushi behind him. Todomatsu walks over and I smile, slowly wagging my tail. Osomatsu and Choromatsu walk in as well while their respective partners stay by the door with Matsuyo. The girls look at me sadly while Atsushi kept his composure.
Todomatsu pets my head while Osomatsu strokes my back. Choromatsu just sat by Todomatsu who was close to crying. "You were a good dog y/n. Thank you for all you did to watch out for us." Osomatsu says smiling shakily while Todomatsu carefully hugs me. I nuzzle my face on his. "He's right. You've done a great job." Choromatsu says calmly but he had tears in his eyes.
Todomatsu was just silent as he hugs me tightly. Though I did hear a thank you and I love you from him. Again I hear footsteps rush upstairs and glance to see Jyushimatsu with Homura. Karamatsu and Ichimatsu did live a little further from the house so they would probably be here in a few minutes.
The three step aside and their spouses walk over to comfort them. Atsushi actually had to hold up Todomatsu as he had trouble standing. Both Jyushimatsu and Homura walk over to sit down in front of me. I glance at them and nudge Homura's belly. She smiles softly and pets my head. She was pregnant I could tell. Jyushimatsu looks at me sadly and gently lifts my head.
"You are the sweetest, kindest dog. We were lucky to have you and we all loved you so much y/n." He says before kissing my head I felt that he was trembling as he pulled away. Homura places an arm around him and gave me a smile "I'll take it from here. Thank you y/n." She says and pets my head before hugging Jyushimatsu to calm him.
Sure enough Karamatsu and Ichimatsu arrive after a minute with worried looks though they calmed a bit seeing I was, barely, still here and alive. Ichimatsu was a hard one like expected. He hugged me so tightly that I thought he wouldn't let go. He kept saying how much of a good girl I was and how much he loved me and how he would miss me. I try to place and a paw on his shoulder but could only lift it to rest on his knee.
I was fading fast when Ichimatsu pulled away to scratch behind my ear. Now all who was left was Karamatsu. He seemed very nervous to approach me. When he did his eyes were downcast and I saw that his hand were shaking. I whine and nudge his hand asking if he was okay. He looks at me and I smile weakly before tiredly sitting up, licking his face. His eyes widen and fill with tears.
He broke down crying as he hugged me.
His wails did not help his brothers as they also start to cry. They either silently cry into their hand and/or onto their spouse. Everyone ends up crying even Atsushi who kept a calm composure, shed a few tears as Todomatsu clutches onto him crying his eyes out. I smile sadly as tears well up before I pull away to lick Karamatsu's cheek.
He looks me in the eyes and I nuzzle his face as a way of saying "don't cry, it's okay. Everything will be alright." That's what I wish I could say to them. I wish I could tell them that they didn't need to cry. I lived my life happily thanks to them. Besides who to say we won't meet again.
Karamatsu sniffs and sighs shakily before smiling "you've lived a long life girl. You have given us so much joy and we thank you for that." He says petting my head as I lay my head back down. "So go ahead and rest. You've lived your life, Now we must live ours. Thank you y/n. May the heavens welcome you with open arms." He says with a shaky voice but a smile on his face.
Looking around to check I saw everyone nod with smiles on their faces. I smile and lay my head down as my breathing slows everyone was silent. I smile and nudge my head into Karamatsu's hand before letting my eyes close.
"To everyone, I thank you.
For accepting me into your family.
For loving me for who I was.
For caring about me no matter what happened.
I love you all and I always will watch over you.
Goodbye and Thank you."
I let out my final breath with a smile. I may have died but I did so while surrounded by the ones I love so much. That was enough to make me die happily.
Y/n was continually reincarnated to watch over her family coming different everytime. Once they all passed away she was put into an alternate universes where even if the brothers looked different they were the same brothers she loved from the beginning.
She'll never forget them and will continue watching them even if they are alternate versions of them.
No joke, I cried while I wrote this and continued crying after as this story hit really close to home. I hope you enjoyed this story.
Sorry if I made anyone cry.
Now excuse me, just gonna cry and try to calm myself.
