The Business Man and The Redundant : OsoChoro

Chapter 2

I rubbed my eyes to make sure that what I was seeing was real. 

"Osomatsu? What are you doing here?" My voice made a crack that made me flinch in awkwardness. All Osomatsu did was laugh and rub his nose, a action that i'm familiar with seeing. 

"Huh? Can't I see my favorite brother!" He laughed and gave me a slight punch on my shoulder. I felt my face heat up. 

"F-Favorite!? Why didn't the others come? Don't they miss me?"

"Pssh, I haven't seen them in years!" 

"..What?"

Osomatsu's smile dropped and suddenly the mood changed to seriousness. 

"They all moved out after you left. First Todomatsu, then Karamatsu, Jyushimatsu, then lastly Ichimatsu. Leaving me all by myself, well there was mom and dad." 

"...I'm sorry.." 

"Why are you? Like you said, we couldn't live like that forever." I sighed, feeling guilty, and took notice that Osomatsu has rather large suitcase by his side. 

"So, how long are you staying here?" I asked

"Oh! I'm moving in!" 

"Ehh?! What did you just say?" 

"You heard me. I'm moving in with you." 

"Wait wait wait wait, you're moving in my house without my consent!?" 

"Yep!" 

"First; why, and second; how do you know where I live?" 

"Mom told me." 

"Thanks Mom," I whispered to myself. "You didn't tell me the first question." 

"I got kicked out." 

"How did you get kicked out?" 

"I don't know, they wanted me to get out of the house and get a job." 

"And why didn't you get a job?" 

"Jeez, you're asking so many questions." I watched Osomatsu walk past me with his suitcase and went immediately to the couch. 

"So, where am I sleeping?" 

"There." I said without hesitating. 

"Come on! Why not your bed?" 

 "Because it's my bed." 

"We can share!" 

"Ha! Like hell we are!" I turned to face away from Osomatsu to hide the fact that I was starting to blush.  

"Well, I'm gonna go unpack" He stood up from the couch, ending the conversation, and went straight to the fridge. 

I groaned and sneaked towards the magazines, hoping to retrieve them without him noticing. I opened the lid and reached out for them but, unfortunately, I was caught. 

"Why are you digging in the trash?"  

"Uh... Um I dropped something in here." Hearing that, Osomatsu started heading my way. 

"No it's fine you don't need to look!" 

"Woah! Playboy magazines? These are mine now." He grabbed them out of my hands and left the room. I started feeling faint, out of all my brothers, why is it him that had to go live with me. He walked back out with nothing in his hands. I gave him a questioning look. 

"I threw them away again, the book is outdated." I let out a frustrated groan and mumbled a couple swear words. 

"I'm going to get work done, get your stuff unpacked. If it's not unpacked by the time i'm done, you'll have to move in with another brother." I walked towards the door. 

"Hey! You wouldn't do that to your brother!" I cut him off with me closing the door.
