<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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!!

[ LONG-SUFFERING SIGH. Why does he bother, the eternal question. ]

If you get hit, don't come crying to me unless you want me to say 'I told you so'.

[ Well, he'll probably try to cheer him up too. Aoba watches him perform that preening habit of his for a moment before speaking again. ]

...You know, it's not a bad thing to let someone chase you. So why not give it a try?

[glitterpants]

_{[ Karamatsu stops adruptly when Aoba makes that suggestion. People.. chase him? That's laughable. People usually run the other way to avoid him— especially girls. He's fully aware of this, but he also doesn't want to let Aoba know that. It's embarrassing he's a person that.. well.. nobody really wants.. especially when he gives off the impression he's a celebrity.
He coughs, obviously disturbed with this topic as he slides his comb back in his pocket. ]}

C-Chase me, huh? Well, I am being generous enough to not let my admirers do any work! Here I am, take me in your loving arms!

[bottombitch]

[ Aoba can't help himself and huffs out a laugh. He gives up and lets Karamatsu dream, there's no reason to dash it, not when it doesn't seem to be doing anyone any harm. Its the nakedness that concerns him, though. But that's also a work in progress. ]

It must be difficult to have so many admirers. How do you even begin to decide who to bless with your doting heart?

[ Aoba's decided to play along. ]

[glitterpants]

I suppose.. I have no choice but to date them all! My heart is big enough to love many at once..
_{[ Truth of the matter is.. he doesn't think there's gonna be a lot of people seriously interested, so he has to put it out there the most he can! Though, if many were interested, he probably would pick the hottest looking one. That's the truth. ]}

[bottombitch]

In that case, sounds like you've got your work cut out for you.

[ Aoba doubts that dating several people at the same time is plausible, but he genuinely hopes (with no shortage of reservations, mind you) that Karamatsu is able to find a date. Maybe that will calm him down a little, but even that sounds like a reach.

Still, he wouldn't be a friend if he didn't support him even a little. ]

Do your best, Kara-kun.

[glitterpants]

I will absolutely do my very best! Without caution, I could steal so many hearts! I could be.. a thief!
_{[ He's all revved up. What have you done. Never support him about anything ever again. ]}

You are responsible for the encouragement you have given me!

[ A H

Karamatsu just sounded a little like he went off the deep end just now, did he just make a huge mistake? ]

[bottombitch]

[ What's all this responsibility crap?! Aoba stammers in reply: ]

H-hey wait a second! It's not like I'm giving you a free license to do whatever comes to mind!

My earlier warnings still totally stand!

[glitterpants]

With you giving me encouragement, I can do anything!!
