The Disappearance of Osomatsu-san Drabbles

Childhood Toys (Choro, Jyushi & Todo)

Call them a nosy duo, but Choro and Jyushi have never seen Todo's room clean before. Even after they just moved in the house, it seemed as if Todo's room was already a mess. Todo always told Kara he didn't need any help when it came to cleaning his room, but everyone knew that was absolute bullshit. His room was messier than Oso's, and the last time Kara went in there, he wasn't even sure if it was a pile of dirty laundry on one side of the room, or just a pile of clothes to cover up a dead body.

Choro just couldn't take much more and decided to take matters into his own hands. Once Todo had left for a walk, Oso had left with Kara to go grocery shopping and Ichi was busy at Flag Corporation, Choro came up with an excuse that he'll stay at the house since he wasn't feeling so good. Jyushi decided to join him, because despite how many lies Choro came up with, Jyushi could see through him, but was nice enough to not point it out anyway. Bless his soul, thought Choro.

The second eldest knew how to clean the house, thanks to watching Kara do it himself. And while Jyushi wanted to help, Choro didn't want his little brother's body to get strained if Jyushi managed to tire himself out. So while Choro had a broom on both of his hands, Jyushi had a duster, and he was happily flapping it around, unaware that he was flapping the dust out and slowly spreading it throughout the room. But ignorance is bliss, and Choro would be damned if he dared do anything that would take away his smile.

That also meant Choro didn't say anything when Jyushi asked him to help him slip into his "cleaning" costume. It was also widely known as a maid outfit, but Jyushi insisted that it was a "cleaning" costume, happily saying that it was given to him by a family friend. No one from Flag Corporation, including Ichi himself, had the heart to tell him it was actually a dress, but even if Jyushi knew, he didn't seem to care. As long as that was the case and he was happy wearing the dress, Choro didn't mind. His brothers truly were interesting after all.

When Choro opened the door, the first thing he did was to stare at the mess that was known as Todo's room. Even Jyushi quieted down and made a small gasp as they analyzed the pink-haired demon's room. It wasn't as hellish as Choro thought it would be, but it was worse.

"What a mess." Choro scowled at the sight. Clothes were everywhere, as well as empty bottles of hair dye, plastic containers with leftover food in them, and a first aid kit on the far corner of the room. Disregarding the possibilities of why Todo would even need a first aid kit, Choro picked up a food container, cringing at the fact that there happened to be crumbs and ants in there. "I cannot believe we live in the same house as the person who resides in this room! What an absolute mess! This is utterly unacceptable!"

"Unacceptable!" Jyushi giggled, covering his mouth with one of his sleeves, as the other. "What do we do, Choro-niisan?"

I cannot let him help me with this.. this is too much of a mess, he may not be able to take it. But he looks so eager and excited to help.. who am I kidding, only a monster could say "no" to that face!

Deciding not to upset Jyushi, Choro made a soft smile and patted the yellow-eyed brother's hair. "Why don't you handle what's underneath the bed?" He suggested, relieved once Jyushi's smile seemed to widen. "I shall handle the rest by myself. Do not fret, my dearest Sweets, for I, Kodoku Choro, also known as Lonely, the Akatsuka Nightingale, have faced terrors that are much, much worse than Tater Tot's humble abode."

While it may seem like he was calm and collected on the outside, Choro was internally praising himself for managing to look cool while holding a broom, of all things. Thankfully, Jyushi seemed to agree, which pretty much saved Choro's ego and made him feel a little bit better about himself. "Okay, nii-san! I'll clean whatever is under the bed! And bed bugs, yup!"
