The Disappearance of Osomatsu-san Drabbles

Panic Attacks (Todomatsu, Atsushi, & Todo)

When Todo collapsed to his knees, people thought he had too much to drink. It was a mixer after all, wasn't it? It was only natural he'd get tipsy after a drink or two.. but it wasn't due to the alcohol, Todomatsu knew. It was a panic attack, something that the eldest brother, Osomatsu, tended to suffer from. But Todomatsu didn't expect his alternate self to suddenly experience one, much less after Todomatsu had introduced his alternate self to his good friend, Atsushi, who was now standing beside Todomatsu, as confused as he was.

Todomatsu had invited not only his brothers, but their alternate selves too, in this mixer. Aida and Sachiko needed eleven more people, and surprise. There were eleven brothers of Todomatsu, and only one of them was younger than him. So after leaving the rest of his older brothers behind, as well as his only little brother, he had decided to show Todo around. Plus, in the previous mixer they attended, Atsushi was unable to go. The youngest of the Matsuno Sextuplets watched as Todo covered his own ears as he knelt on the floor, screaming about something to stop.

People are watching. People are whispering. People are judging.

Todomatsu was so lost, what would he do in times like this? He could even feel Atsushi's fear from beside him. Should he just leave Todo here? No, he shouldn't, Todo was his brother too-!

Suddenly, through the crowd of people, Kara managed to appear. Todomatsu would have mistook him for Karamatsu, if he didn't remember that Karamatsu was wearing something painful for the night, while Kara was dressed casually.

"TODO!" Immediately, he knelt down in front of his best friend, grabbing him by the shoulders, albeit in a gentle way so he wouldn't be startled. "Todo! Todo, Todo.. sssshhh, it's alright. Nothing's wrong, nothing's out to kill you or me or our brothers.. Todo, ssshhh.. it's okay.. it's okay.. it's me, Kara.. can you understand me?"

Todomatsu watched as Todo, the pink-haired punk, suddenly latch onto Kara as if his life depended on it. He continued to cry, and only did so even more when Kara rubbed his back as a comforting gesture.

Not long after Kara appeared, he was followed by the Altmatsus. The first to come out of the crowd was the second eldest, Choro. Upon seeing two of his brothers in the floor, he carefully knelt down beside Kara, mouthing a question; "What happened?". Kara replied with a shrug, prompting Choro to frown, but nonetheless, stay by his brothers side.

Then came the youngest duo, Oso and Jyushi, with Oso holding onto Jyushi's hand. "Todo..!" He gasped out, running over to Todo. Unlike his brothers, he remained standing. "Tch.. what.. triggered it..? I'll.. destroy.. whatever did this.. to Todo.."

"Nii-san, it's gonna be alright." Jyushi was much more sane than Oso would ever be, and he hugged Todo's side. "We're all here, Todo-niisan! We're all here."

And finally, there was Ichi, the purple-eyed megalomaniac. He didn't dare ask questions, but upon seeing Atsushi, he immediately got his katana out from nowhere and pointed it at his throat, ignoring the gasps of the crowd. "You!" He snarled. "Okane Atsushi?!"

Atsushi raised his hands to show Ichi he meant no harm. "Y-yes-!"

"Stop talking!" He hissed with such a venomous tone. "I know you may be a different Atsushi.. but do so much as to approach Katsuna Todo, and I will make sure you never see the light of day ever again!"

Todomatsu swore Atsushi wet his pants as soon as Ichi made that threat, because as Ichi turned on his heel to approach his brothers on the floor, Atsushi gave Todomatsu a pat on the shoulder and excused himself.
