CH4: Day Two, Karamatsu, Special Place?

You wake up rather peacefully after a good night of sleep. Osomatsu's spooning you happily, still fast asleep and even snoring a little. You stretch and yawn, giggling as he holds you tighter and nuzzles the crook of your neck. You then feel 'something' poking your lower back; you quickly peel Osomatsu's arms off of you, while blushing quite a bit, and get out of bed. You hurriedly get your uniform and head off to the bathroom to shower and get dressed, trying not to think about the feeling of that 'something' poking you. Upon reaching the bathroom you make sure to lock the door, you don't want a repeat of yesterday's mishap. You strip off your pjs and step into the shower, turning the water on and well, you know, showering. I doubt I really need to describe what you do here, you're really just interested in the Matsus, hmm?

You finish showering a little later, toweling off and putting your uniform on; it takes you significantly less time than it did yesterday, but still quite a while. You'll get there eventually I'm sure. You hang up your towel and stow your pjs in your backpack before going into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Karamatsu. On the way there you quickly peek into the bedroom, wondering if everyone was still asleep, after counting six sleeping lumps in the futon, your curiosity was quelled. Once you reach the kitchen, you get out a pan and set it on the stove and begin cooking breakfast. More specifically eggs and bacon. You manage to finish cooking breakfast without any distractions, though there was a little noise due to most of the Matsus waking up. Of course NOT the one you made breakfast for, he was taking his sweet-ass time waking up. You decide to ask a nearby Ichimatsu, who was probably getting ready to go pet cats all day, if Karamatsu was indeed still asleep.

"Hey, Ichimatsu, is Karamatsu still asleep?" You inquire, turning the heat on the stovetop to 'low' so as to keep the eggs and bacon warm, but not burnt.

Ichimatsu nods, "...If you'd like, I can wake Shittymatsu up for you..." his face becomes dark as he grins maliciously. His gracious offer to, so lovingly, wake up his brother might not be what you'd call 'violence free'. You figure that you should probably wake Karamatsu up yourself.

"Ah, thank you but it's fine! I mean, I am supposed to be his maid today, and like that's a pretty maidy thing to do!" You hurriedly walk to the bedroom, to ensure Karamatsu's survival; he can be painful, but you don't want him to die at the hands of one of his brothers. Ichimatsu nods at you as you leave, and continues with what he was doing.

Sure enough, one sleeping lump remains in the futon. You slowly approach Karamatsu, kneeling down next to him and gently placing your hand on his shoulder. "Hey, wake up Karamatsu! Breakfast is ready!" You say while you gently shake his shoulder a little, attempting to wake him without excessive force.

You realize Karamatsu is already awake when he quickly throws the covers off, revealing himself posing 'seductively' in his white robe and sunglasses. Perhaps this was part of his 'elaborate plan' to 'capture your heart'. He half takes off his sunglasses and looks you in the eye before saying, "Thank you my dearest maid~ Shall I reward your hard efforts with a kiss~?"

You giggle a little bit and blush, booping him on the nose, "That's not necessary, a proper maid needs no thanks!"

"As long as you're sure, I'd love to thank you anytime~" Karamatsu responds with a slight chuckle, his own cheeks flushing a little.

"Well...I suppose if you really want to thank me," you pause as you cup his face in your hands, slowly bringing your face closer to his until your lips are only about an inch apart. Of course Karamatsu is smiling and blushing furiously, excited at the prospect of finally having his first kiss (or so he thought). "Then you could go eat your breakfast." You smirk, finishing your thought, and un-cup his face before patting him on the head.

"If that's what you'd like then I will do it, for you my dearest (Your Name)!" Karamatsu stands up and takes off his sunglasses, then offers you a hand up, which you accept. He pulls you up and of course, into his arms. You should have seen that one coming. "One quick thing, darling~ It's rude to tease your master like that~" he whispers into your ear, making you blush and shiver. He smirks at your reaction, "I'm afraid I'll have to punish you for that~" you eep a bit and nervously stammer, concerned for your virginity. He chuckles, and kisses you on the cheek before you manage to form a coherent sentence.

"T-that was it?" You nervously question as Karamatsu releases you from his arms, your face still a brilliant shade of red.

Karamatsu nods, "Why, do you want more~?" he asks teasingly winking at you. You shake your head, no, and huff embarrassedly, grabbing his hand and dragging him out to the kitchen. You pull him along with little difficulty, his chuckles echoing in your head and making you a bit salty.

You dish up Karamatsu's breakfast for him and set it on the table in front of him; he smiles warmly and thanks you, saying something along the lines of 'the only thing that looks more delicious than the breakfast is you'. You didn't pay him much attention, because you were already plotting to kill him. Well maybe not kill, or even hurt. But you would have your revenge. In the meantime you decide to make small talk so as to ease the suspicion of your gruesome plotting.

"So what do you want to do today?" You ask, scrubbing a very stubborn spot on a pan with the scouring side of a sponge. You figured you may as well help out with the dishes, since you'd be staying here a while longer.

Karamatsu ponders your question with a manly "Hmm..." he brings one of his hands up to cup his chin furthering the image of pondering. He holds his pose for a few moments before finally speaking up "I'd like to show you my special place." He nods thoughtfully and puts his hand on your shoulder. Your eyes widen and you freeze in place, not fully knowing what he meant by his 'special place'. You choke and splutter nervously as Karamatsu began speaking once more, "Before that, I'm going to change~ I'll be right back my Karamatsu Girl!" And with that he promptly walks out of the kitchen and off to go change, leaving you with a huge unanswered question. Unanswered mostly because you couldn't ask it, you total pussy. You just kind of stand there waiting for Karamatsu to return unsure of what to make of your situation, you're certain he's not actually going to show you what you'd label as a 'special place' otherwise known as dick. But he was being rather flirty this morning, so you can't be too sure.

He returns rather quickly and grabs your hand, leading you away to a part of the house you haven't seen before, more specifically, the attic. Despite feeling mildly uncomfortable, you were also curious as to why the fuck you were in the attic. The attic was pretty dark, which of course adds to your uneasiness. Karamatsu chuckles sardonically, asking you if you're ready to see his 'special place'.

You seize your chance to ask your somewhat awkward, but crucial, question. "So uh, what do you mean by your 'special place'? Is it an actual place or...well, you were being rather flirty this morning..." You timidly ask, your gaze shifting to the floor. It was actually pretty interesting, wood flooring has always been one of your aesthetics.

Karamatsu tilts his head in minor confusion, "Of course it's a place! What did you," he pauses mid sentence as he realizes what you were referring to, his face turning as red as Osomatsu's hoodie. "A-ah, it's an a-actual place. I can see w-why you'd think that...Sorry for the, uh, confusion!" he finishes with a nervous laugh, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. You nod in response not daring to try to stammer out an apology, you're not even semi prepared for that since you're still immensely embarrassed for bringing up Karamatsu maybe showing you his 'special place' (that time it means dick). After a moment or so of awkward silence light filters in through an open hatch in the ceiling of the attic, Karamatsu silently grabs your hand and leads you over to a nearby ladder; implying you climb up it and go onto, the roof? Was the roof his 'special place' (The non-dick one)? You place your foot on the bottom rung and start climbing the ladder, Karamatsu following behind you.

After climbing up the ladder you were hit with a nice cool breeze from the outside, it was rather pleasant as the sun has been shining down on the roof all day.

You quickly get off the ladder and step on the roof somewhat cautiously, you know the roof isn't going to cave under you; but you're still a little uneasy being up so high. Karamatsu on the other hand is definitely used to being up this high; after he climbs up the ladder he reassuringly grabs your hand and leads you away from the roof hatch and over to a section of the roof overlooking the street.

Karamatsu sits down, his hand tugging on yours gently for you to sit next to him; you comply sitting down gently, still somewhat afraid you'd manage to break the roof or fall off of it. He lets out a small chuckle at your nervous composure. "Don't worry (Your Name), I won't let you fall~ Unless it's for me~" Karamatsu says, soothingly putting an arm around you and pulling you a little closer. You have to admit that did help ease your nerves, even if it was probably just a cheesy excuse for Karamatsu to put his arm around you.

"Thank you, Karamatsu." You smile and gently squeeze his hand, blushing ever so slightly.

Karamatsu smiles dreamily at you and squeezes your hand back "Ahh~? Are my pickup lines getting to you (Your name)?"

You giggle and clap him on the back, grinning happily at Karamatsu's playful disposition. "No, they mostly just make me laugh! I mean, I've come up with better pickup lines!" You point at yourself implying that even someone as lame as YOU has come up with better pickup lines than Shittymatsu.

Karamatsu smirks and puts on his sunglasses, no doubt getting ready for one of his usual dramatic ramblings. "Ah really~? Pickup lines are an art, (Your name)! What kind of a pickup line would you use on a dashing, devilish rogue like myself~? I am your canvas! Paint me with your pickup lines~!"

Between laughing and gasping for air you manage to say what you think is a pretty fitting pickup line for someone of Karamatsu's calibur. "O-okay okay, I can do this. K-karamatsu," you snort with laughter and choke on a strand of your hair, "K-karamatsu, more like, I care-a-lot-about-you!" You finally manage to finish your terrible pickup line, your face flushed with redness at your own shitty pickup line. You catch your breath and look over at Karamatsu, who's been silent ever since his dramatic pickup lines tangent; he's holding his sunglasses in his hands slightly teary eyed, raising his head to the sky, and smiling a forlorned smile. "Truly, you are skilled in this fine art, my precious maid...D-do you really feel that way about me?" he fumbles over the last half of his statement as tilts his head in your direction.

"W-well yeah! Of course I care about you! We are friends after all!" You smile and wrap your arms around Karamatsu, pulling him into a hug. He stammers and blushes before hugging you back and resting his head on your shoulder.

He mumbles out "...Thank you..." and nuzzles the crook of your neck. You smile at him and stroke his hair, the two of you making idle conversation in between more terrible pickup lines as the sun sets over the city. The two of you stay on the roof for quite some time, only remembering to head back to the main part of the house after the moon and a few twinkling stars grace your eyes with their beauty.

You're brushing your teeth in the bathroom, already wearing your pjs, when you hear a light knock at the door. You gurgle 'come in' with a mouth full of toothpaste foam, you hurriedly spit it out and rinse off your toothbrush before turning to the door.

Karamatsu slowly opens the door, and winks at you. "Ah~? You're already out of your uniform? Does that mean I can't make you cuddle with me~?" He chuckles lightheartedly, his calm expression masking his desperation to cuddle with his crush.

You shrug your shoulders, " Well, I did cuddle with Osomatsu so I guess it's only fair that I cuddle with you too!" you pat Karamatsu on the head, his chill facade melting away, like a snowball dropped in lava. He blushes instantly and picks you up, carrying you to the futon. You both crawl under the covers and cuddle each other, your head resting on one of Karamatsu's arms, the other one resting on the small of your back.

"I had a great day today Karamatsu." You say, sleepily yawning and nuzzling into his chest. He smells good, like the scent of a late evening, the various washed smells of a long day blending together with faded cologne (probably shitty cheap cologne, let's be real) to create the soft scent that is so distinctly Karamatsu, and you sigh a contentedly happy smile.

Karamatsu smiles at you and strokes your hair behind your ear, "Is that so (Your name)~? I'll have to show you my special place more often." He chuckles, getting death glares from the other Matsus. He quickly realizes how that might sound to them and explains what he means by his 'special place', so as not to be brutally beaten up.

The two of you try to make more conversation, talking about everything from fond childhood memories to whether or not Guy Fieri could be convicted of arson. The topics start to get a little weird as the both of you begin to nod off.

Either way the both of you fell asleep happy, in his last waking moments Karamatsu mumbled something along the lines of how he was happy that such a nice girl cared for him.
