He's lost it all!

How could he lose it all?! 

Collapsing onto his knees, his hands flew forward to steady his defeated stance before the gambling machine he once trusted. Osomatsu stared unbelievingly at the red carpet he was hoovering over, eyes shaking in disbelief. Eventually - he knew - that he'd have to accept his defeat, but he wanted to deny it for as long and as much as he could, in hopes that this was all just a dream. An unforgiving nightmare that he would soon stir from and have a chance to restart. But as time ticked by, he slowly grew to acknowledge the bitterness that settled over his tastebuds - he had lost everything. 

His bets, he knew weren't very stable, but hoping that they were was more than enough - at the start. By the end of it all, he was turned into mere gravel from an ego that once towered over everyone else's. 

"This can't be true..." he whispered, feeling a build up of tears. Tears of delinquency; of grief; of desperation. 

"Excuse me, sir?" Oso struggled to look up at a female, dressed in the uniform that showed her employment in the Pachinko business. "You've been like this for a while and it's driving away some of our customers." Oso couldn't bring himself to respond, he still needed time in order to recover over his loss, but making the female wait was a bad choice, "If you don't get up and continue with your business here like normal, or no longer have anything to do here, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave." her brows furrowed when Osomatsu continued his silence, further irritating the woman. Before the paralysed male could process anything, security had been called and he was kicked out of the building.

Choromatsu had been searching all over town for a chance of employment, knowing full well that he wouldn't be able to get anymore funds from his parents. He was thankful for their previous offerings though, if it weren't for their generosity, he wouldn't have been able to spend so much time with you. 

It was no lie that whenever he got to spend time with you, he was at bliss - atop a cloud that was several steps after heaven's golden gates. Not just because of your dazzling beauty, but for your cute personality also, one that was well rounded and down to earth; quirky too. Just the thought of you brought a smile to his face and swelled his heart with new found determination to get employed as quickly as possible. 

He had passed a store that offered a cleaning job but hardly paid much (he could tell) because of the overall low income the place brought. If he doesn't find a more suitable job soon, he'll settle for that..at least it'll be a start and a step towards you.

Ichimatsu was feeding his cats in the usual alley they would meet at. In his mind, he pondered over who - out of his 5 brothers - would be able to date (Y/N) first. 

"Who do you think would win?" his cats stared up at him intently, ears perked at his utterance. As if they understood what his queer, they reached up at him with their paws and mewled happily.
