[relieable]

_{[ The feed clicks on and there’s Karamatsu— not dressed in anything too horrific this time, but rather something like this. He's posed perfectly against the corner of a wall in his housing, a lamp casting light on him. There’s a rose in his hand? And he takes a big whiff of it. Yeah, please help him. ]}

Aaah, sometimes.. finding love is so brutal-- so difficult and painstaking! I think of it maybe it is better off to be alone instead. Perhaps, you feel the same way too. Perhaps you are waiting for love to sweep you off of your feet, whisk you away to a majestic land— a land of dreams come true! Ah, that’s right, the truest love that even YOU and you deserve!

Heh. Endless love, so distant.

Perhaps, then, you will be happy. Perhaps, then, you will be set free— as your heart is in shackles, aching from heartbreak.. from the diseases of other burning loves! You should search no longer--

[the device is suddenly moved and settles on the face of... another Karamatsu? but when he talks, he has a much different voice. it’s a bit higher than his brother’s. it wasn’t Ichimatsu, just who was this guy, now?]

You’re lonely, and we get that... We really do, more than you know... [he pulls back a little ways, revealing that he is also wearing a nice suit] So! That’s why, we’ve decided to offer our services to you guys! I know, I know, we’re pretty awesome, right? You can thank us all you want, later!

For now, you may be wondering, what are these services, because of course you are. Get this! We’ve decided to give you all the once-in-a-lifetime chance to date us! That’s right! For just a small fee, you can go out with [he jerks his thumb off to the side] Karamatsu over there, or me, the older, more experienced, but not too experienced, [WINK] Osomatsu!

A fee? There is no fee. The only fee they should be willing to pay is with their hearts! Ah, worry not, my honeys! We will be available to date.. free of charge! _{[ EYING OSOMATSU FIRMLY….. ]}

[the camera falls on Karamatsu for a bit, and Osomatsu winces at his expression. Why... why is he like this? Osomatsu sets the device down, so that the camera angles up and at nothing, but you can still hear the brothers in the background]

What do you mean, "There is no fee?" Of course there’s a fee! We can’t just give ourselves away, idiot!

Love should have no price, you are just being greedy!
_{[ aaaand they’re just going to keep bickering until the feed ends. ]}

[ Aoba drops his device and rubs his face in frustration for a good minute before returning to this tire fire. ]

A N Y W A Y . . .

Karamatsu-kun, didn't you want to be a rock star or something? Why are you trying to be a professional escort?

[glitterpants]

Because i should give everyone a chance to date me before i get too famous and then swarmed by beautiful women!!
Nobody should miss their chance! ;)

[bottombitch]

[ Beautiful women?? ]

Wait, Karamatsu-kun

You just said something strange just now

...

You're not gay?

<sub>[ Whoa, whoa there. He never once even thought about the fact he could be gay. Sure, he's appreciated the aesthetic of certain men growing up, but that was just paying attention to their perfect fashion! And maybe the body in that perfect fashion, but that was just him idolizing that body.. cause it's a body he doesn't have! And he maaaaaay have seen a few AVs or gotten a hold of some porn that had some men on men action in it, but it wasn't really intentional— it wasn't what he went to go and buy specifically.. he just kind of picked it up! Just because seeing two men do it was giving him ideas for when his time with come! —With a girl!

There's no way he's gay. ]</sub>

_{[ Thankfully this is text, sooooo: ]}
Ah.. i don't know what you mean..
You actually sound disappointed!

1/2

[bottombitch]

[ stares at the camera ]

[bottombitch]

Who's disappointed? It's just you say a lot of stuff guys usually don't say to other guys!

I mean

Most of the time you're so over-the-top that no one could possibly take it seriously.

[glitterpants]

That is ok.
What is important is to be yourself!

But ah.. tell me.. what sort of things do i say to other guys that people usually do not say?

[bottombitch]

[ Yes, but when you're Karamatsu, maybe being yourself isn't always the best thing..... ]

...

I can't repeat it

It's embarrassing just remembering it. Pass.

[glitterpants]

I see...
it doesn't bring you... "pain" though, does it?
_{[ OH NO, SUDDENLY WORRIED. ]}

[bottombitch]

Embarrassing is just... embarrassing!

...

Why do you ask?

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Because once upon a time, Karamatsu was very worried about who he was, what he said, how he dressed, etc.. because apparently it was "painful."
He honestly wants to be a good friend of Aoba's, so he would be upset if he was doing anything to cause him "pain."

Now that Aoba's brought it up, though, he has to ask: ]</sub>

Is it bad, then, that i am this way?
Oh no.. will i lose your friendship????
_{[ HE'S SO CO-DEPENDENT. ]}

[bottombitch]

[ Okay this... has suddenly taken a turn and in retrospect, Aoba realizes he may have inadvertently touched some raw and exposed nerve. A little too late. ]

Is it bad?

Hey wait a second

[bottombitch]

A-ah, don't worry about it, Kara-kun

Hey, mind if I call you?

[glitterpants]

_{[ He minds a little bit, mainly cause he's not feeling so up to par now, but: ]}
of course not.. i have all of the time for you!
