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]

[The funny thing about Ichimatsu was that he'd done something of a personality 180 from childhood to adulthood. There wasn't an obvious reason, and he wasn't the sort to talk about what was going on in his head, so nobody really knew what caused the strong-willed, peer-protecting Ichimatsu of childhood to become the anxious self-deprecating adult, but he'd gone from being more like his sunnier younger brother to being something of a rain cloud. Sure, they'd all been a bit hiveminded as children anyway, but the important part (to Ichimatsu, especially, given how he'd aged) was that he had retained the closeness he'd had to the fifth born Matsuno even as he lost social grace.]

[Needless to say, arriving in a strange place to find aforementioned precious fifth brother having been kidnapped by some crazy scientists lead to more than a few colorful expletives and entertained thoughts of genocidal rampage, but Ichimatsu wasn't exactly a pleasant person, especially so when you tried to take away one of the few things he held honestly and sincerely dear. Even if he had to admit that they were probably right to be curious about what the hell Jyushimatsu's deal was. Even he didn't know that much.]

[But that was beside the point, because he'd joined the rescue mission and then skulked off to decompress, except Jyushimatsu was apparently part Labrador, because he'd managed to sniff out his brother sooner than the reclusive NEET had been prepared for and was moving too quickly for him to hope to escape.]

[Even if, really, he didn't want to.]

[He will, at least, startle and wave his arms to try and fend off Jyushimatsu's assault.]

Jyush-- slow down, you'll trip.
