Who: ~~numbermatsus~~ Ichimatsu and Jyushimatsu
What: a tearful reunion?!
Where: one of the ship's entry points
When: end of May, backdated to just after the gigantic rescue mission
Warning(s): rated P for pure. and pain.

[they had done it! Choromatsu and Jyushimatsu had been freed from the scary planet and were now safely back on the ship, along with some other Matsuno brothers. among them was Ichimatsu, and Jyushimatsu is so super happy, because he is incredibly close to Ichimatsu. he loves all his brothers dearly, but Ichimatsu is kind of precious to him, because they spent a lot of time together as kids. and even though they were now as different as day and night, they still had that bond. at least, Jyushimatsu liked to believe that they did.

so one of the first things he does when he gets back on the ship is seek out his older brother to welcome him on board. and he's really!!! happy!!! about that but, for some reason, he feels like crying too? it's weird. too weird to think about, so he won't think about it. he'll just call out for Ichimatsu, waves his arms, and start bolting for him]

Yeah! We're friends! [maybe? they must be! imagine, these NEETs who had only themselves for a while were now making friends with strangers] I've met a lot of people! Kamille-kun, Marinette-chan, Kagura-sama...! It's been a lot of fun! [everything has been fun, even getting kidnapped was fun. the only thing that hadn't been fun was the loneliness] And now, Ichimatsu-niisan is here, with me, too!

[He waves his arms in front of him, righting himself to turn and face Jyushimatsu.]

--Marinette. That's the girl I live with. [Now he remembers.]

[Jyushimatsu stops pushing, and he looks absolutely delighted by this new revelation. he puts his hands on Ichi's shoulders]

Marinette-chan is super nice! She told me about Paris, and its super heroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir! [Marinette would be good for Ichimatsu, maybe! she's just a kid, but she's still a girl! if they became friends, and Ichimatsu could get used to talking with her, then...!!!!!]

[He squirms in place, hands finding their way back to his pockets, and hunches his shoulders, nodding.]

She's... nice, yes.

[And... clumsy, in a way that is somehow endearing. Ichimatsu pretty immediately was concerned about her in a similar way to how he is often concerned about Jyushimatsu. It was ...not entirely unpleasant, but a startling response to have so immediately to a stranger. He hadn't taken too long to wonder about why he could understand a girl who was probably speaking French.]

[clumsy, right. Jyushimatsu learned that, too]

She'll be a good roommate, niisan. [the way he says it is... well, Jyushi is conflicted. because he really wants to room with his brothers, especially Ichimatsu. but they were all assigned different rooms and were probably expected to get along with new folks] There's no need to be nervous.

[He decided not to respond for a while, hunching his shoulders further and turning to shuffle toward the dining district again. He knew there wasn't a need to be nervous. There rarely was. But he was always nervous anyway.]

So you and Kamille get along?

Yeah! [Jyushi nods and follows so they are side by side. his hand snakes out of its sleeve so that he can latch onto the purple fabric of his brother's hoodie. still not ready to let go yet!] He let me ride in his gundam! I was so high up! It was amazing!

Mm. We took that to come get you and Choromatsu-niisan.

[It was cramped, and he had to share the cockpit with a stranger and Karamatsu. He wasn't impressed. He shifts to allow Jyushimatsu's clinging to his sleeve, glancing sidelong at him and continuing to walk.]

[soon they come to the dining area. and there is plenty of food, so if Ichimatsu decides he doesn't want Japanese, he can get something else and they can still eat together. that was what food courts were for, right?]

Did you get to shoot things? [he looks far too gleeful about the idea]

[He stills and seems a little apprehensive about the food court, but forces himself to keep moving so Jyushimatsu doesn't have to let go of his sleeve.]

...Kamille did most of the shooting, but he gave me a wrench to beat people with.

Did you, did you? [because, for some reason, the very thought of people beating up badguys for him is... kind of appealing? yeah, no one said that these Matsunos were sane]

[His shoulders shake with a single bark of a laugh and he hunches his shoulders further, lacing his fingers together in the pockets of his hoodie and bending his fingers backward to crack them.]

Only two, but one of them probably died.

[Jyushimatsu should probably be more alarmed by that than he actually is. instead, he is kind of excited. was that weird? yeah, it was definitely weird, so he'll just laugh loudly.

anyway, let's get food!]

[They're all more than a little deranged, really, but that's okay. Food is more important than their damage. He chuckles at Jyushimatsu's laughter and shuffles along behind him.]

Where's this place you wanted to eat?
