_{[ Perhaps you recognize this guy because he has two other identical brothers here. Perhaps you recognize him from watching some campy soap opera that he has acted in— you know his face, he's the guy that always dies in the background. If not, perhaps you're one of the unfortunate people who actually know him.. or are friends with him. Yikes. Either way, this feed features Karamatsu illuminated by candlelight, nothing more. He's wearing a closed bathrobe and.. nothing more, either. Well, just about. There's a red bow tied around his neck— if anyone cared to look further, they'll probably see it's also draped over his collarbone, implying he's wrapped up in a ribbon like a present underneath that robe.

Spoiler: he is.

But that's not it. A painful picture deserves some painful monologues, right? He parts his lips, expression appearing wistful. It's bad acting at it's finest. It's cringe worthy. ]}

Ah, December. It is probably... my second favorite time of the year. It is a time for generosity, a time for giving. A time to reflect on your former self as the year draws to an end.. a time for.. love. _{[ TAKES A DRAMATIC SIP OF WINE. ]}
Where I am from.. we celebrate Christmas. It is.. expected, ah no, it is mandatory that love blossoms within the snowy air, shrouding all feelings of loneliness with feelings of adoration— feelings of belong. If you are lonely this month, I can offer you the greatest gift you can ever receive! Ah, are you ready? _{[ He sucks in a breath and then exclaims with a flourish: ]}
IT IS LOVE!!!
It is all the love that I could ever give! Simply accept and be my date on the 25th! I will shower you with gifts! I will shower you with.. romance!
_{[ His voice is cracking slightly from sounding so desperate, tears pricking the corner of his eyes. It's really pitiful. ]}

I will give you a night you won't ever forget! _{[ PROBABLY FOR THE WRONG REASONS... ]}Say goodbye to lonely nights, hello to season delights!!

Maybe they'd be impressed with you if you were such a cheapskate, Osomatsu-niisan.
_{[ Poor Chibita, caught in the cross hair of two older brothers.
He huffs indignantly, brushing off his shoulder and then scoffing slightly. ]}

If they don't like big displays like that, I'm afraid they will never understand me. They won't understand the love I can give.
_{[ here he goes trying to act all cool and mysterious.. ]}

[Osomatsu rolls his shoulder, cracks his neck. he wasn't going to say anything, but Karamatsu's being insufferable. here he was, trying to be serious, to help his brother out, and it backfires in his face.

he turns away, tucking his hands into his pockets. admittedly, Karamatsu has a point. and Osomatsu was the one who had said that Karamatsu should stay Karamatsu, and take things headfirst. but now he's feeling grouchy because he was insulted]

I'm not the one begging strangers for a date. I already got one. [and off he goes. good luck, Karamatsu]

[Chibita huffs a bit at the two of them...but he's not gonna say anything on either end. Honestly neither of them are acting great, not that it's a surprise, so he'll just...wait for a moment. Maybe Karamatsu will be more receptive once Osomatsu's out of the room and they've quit sniping at each other.]

_{[ He already got one. Was he lying? Karamatsu never knows with his older brother, but they seem to be competitive about a lot of things lately. Something about all of that makes Karamatsu stomach twist in jealousy, his upper lip raising in a primitive looking snarl in Osomatsu's direction when he leaves. ]}

Hmph. I'm not.. begging for a date.
_{[ He totally is, though. ]}

[It's at this point that Chibita huffs out a bit of a sigh, shifting so he can face Karamatsu a little better, arms folded, arching an eyebrow at him. Especially at that snarl.

But after a moment, he'll reach out and nudge Karamatsu's knee with his foot]

Oi. Karaboy. I gotta question.

I'M NOT BEGGING FOR A DATE!
_{[ He re-emphasizes before Chibita can ask his question, his voice cracking slightly. ]}

[alskdhfsoihfs THE YELL MAKES HIM JUMP A LITTLE, STARTLED, SO OF COURSE HE HAS TO YELL BACK]

THE HELL, YA IDJIT, DAMMIT! I DIDN'T SAY YA WERE!

[....he may have been thinking it, though]

Tch. I don't think he actually has got a date. He is probably just lying.. because he is jealous of all the love I could give a person!

_{[ There's a moment of silence before he finally responds to Chibita: ]}

What kind of question is it?

[Chibita lets that silence hang and doesn't address that first part, not quite yet. Because he didn't know that Osomatsu had a date, but he doesn't think he's lying either. Not this time. He sits in that silence for a moment, then again after the question. How does he structure this? True, each of those Matsus need to be handled differently, but Chibita's honestly not really sure how to restructure an honest question. So he'll just...ask it. And hope for the best.]

...what makes ya think you're nobody?

_{[ Of course, Chibita asks that question so easily. So simple. The answer is a loaded one, and thankfully Karamatsu feels like he can be honest with Chibita. There's few people he feels like he can show his real emotions to.
His fingers curl up into little fists. He's jealous and he's mad that it gets to him this way. There's so much in his life he wants to be and accomplish, but he feels so alone trying to reach those dreams that he feels will never happen. ]}

Just look at me! Begging for a date for the holiday!
_{[ oh so now he admits it just like that. ]}

That should be enough proof!
