_{[ FOR SHAME, OSOMATSU. They are only the best. ]}

haha ok!! cool!!
and like i said, just walk on in.. i'll leave the door unlocked

[about a half hour later, Osomatsu makes it to the apartment complex. he's dresses casually, carrying two bags with him that are full of snacks and drinks. after all, it's better to enjoy snacks with someone else...!

he finds the right number and pokes his head into the door]

Helloooooo? Mister America? I'm here!

_{[ Oh man. America hopes that Osomatsu isn't expecting to take any of those snacks home, cause yeah, he's a garbage disposal.
He's just lounging on the couch when the other man arrives, but he's wearing just some loose boxers and a snug, plain white tee. He seems very casual about having company and.. pretty much everything in general.

He glances up from the TV. ]}

Oh, hey man! Osomatsuuuuu-kun! Haha, you don't have'ta call me mister.. that makes me sound old.

_{[ Even though he's technically over 200 years old.. that's young for his species! ]}

I hope you don't care I'm like.. in my underwear. I just can be assed to put on pants, pfft.

Haha, no worries! I totally understand.

[he steps into the room, holding the bags still. all kinds of chips and candy and cookies, several drinks, but not too many because they would be too heavy to carry. and they're all for them]

It's too hot for pants, anyway.

Well.

_{[ Well. ]}

Why don't you take yours off also? And join me on the couch, hahaa! You can bring all the snacks over here too so we don't gotta get up when we wanna eat!

[hm]

It's fine! I'm wearing shorts!

[but he does bring over all of the snacks. the drinks are still cold since he just bought them. he hands that bag to America, while setting out the various snacks on the table in front of them]

_{[ HM INDEED. ]}

Suit yourself! But if you ever feel like you wanna get more comfortable and take'em off, go for it.

_{[ A beat. ]}

Or I can do it for ya.

_{[ WITH A WINK. A monster. ]}

Oh, right.. you said you wanted to talk about something? Something stressful?

[Osomatsu is a little surprised by the offer. but he really shouldn't be, considering this was the guy trying to solicit people on the network for... charity...

he's still not that used to being hit on]

Mmn... I guess it's more like I'm stressed, yanno? Not that anything stressful has really happened...

Sort of.

Hahaha, oh god. Okay, bro, I gotta tell you straight up. I supes suck at communicating, so, I don't "know." You gotta spell it out for me! Tell me what's really up.

_{[ At least he's self aware. With that, America opens the bag he was given and sticks his nose inside to see what's in it. ]}

[oh... Osomatsu puffs out his cheeks, and blows out air, making a pbbbthtbth sound]

...Right, sorry. That's my bad. I'm tryin' t'be vague and it's not working.

[he inhales. the garlic scent from the bag America just opened is good and strong!]

...I haven't told anyone else this. But... I kinda... finally had sex here. For the first time. Actually, no, I didn't kind of. I did, plain and simple.

Not really, it's just I'm really bad at that, haha.

_{[ For once, America is just going to blame himself here. Whatever snack he has, it certainly does smell good in his opinion, so he's just going to dig right in, smiling brightly at what Osomatsu says. ]}

Dude, that's great! Why are you acting funny about it? It's just sex. It doesn't mean you gotta marry the person or anything.

[UH. that's quite a mouthful America says there.

"it's just sex."]

It was my first time! And it was... I wasn't expecting it to happen. The guy that it happened with, we don't talk a lot, we didn't plan it. We were both, uh, not ourselves.

_{[ America still doesn't understand what the big deal is, but he tilts his head to one of his shoulders, trying to grasp what Osomatsu is saying. ]}

Sounds kinda familiar. I mean, when I came here, I was a virgin too.. and the guy I slept with I barely knew, but it's just kind of how this place operates so I found it to be alright.. nothing to feel guilty about.

_{[ Except that one part. ]}

Not yourselves? Like weirdo moon influence?

[a stiff nod. Osomatsu reaches for a drink. a non alcoholic drink, just some fizzy juice]

Mmn, it was when those tattoos showed up? I got one where I was, like, basically horny and needy all the time. It was worse than the moon cycle.

Oh yeah! The Astella and Ostella stuff. I read a bunch about that cause I saw it as an opportunity to rake in some extra cash.

Well.. don't feel bad about it, man. It might be a little weird, but weird stuff like that happens all the time here. I'm sure your partner understands.

Do you talk or nah?

[Osomatsu looks distant]

Haven't talked to him since.

[and that's partially why he's upset. he wonders... was he okay? was he a bad partner? he wasn't even himself at the time, it was like he was much more confident and sexy. and now, he's not like that anymore]

Well.

_{[ Hmmm. ]}

Haha, I don't think that has to be entirely a bad thing either! Just like a one night stand, right? There's not that awkwardness that ensues after the fact, but.. I guess it is kind of shitty if it was your first one. Hmm.

Maybe you were so good, it intimidated him!

_{[ Cause that's what America would think since he's so arrogant. ]}

[Osomatsu sips at his drink, but doesn't say anything in response. he hates feeling this way. sex had been fun, but he wished that it had been with...

well...

that didn't matter, they were gone now.

what matters is that it happened. he shouldn't feel bummed about it! but he is]

Mmn.

_{[ Ooooh. Oh no. The silent treatment. It's kind of childish behavior, but America recognizes it, cause this is how he acts sometimes too. He finally frowns a little and scoots over so he can close the distance between them. ]}

Hee-eeey. It'll be alright! Like, I'm not sure what you're so bummed about, but it will be, okay?

_{[ Oh. He rubs his back comfortingly. ]}

... I mean.. did you like-him like-him at the end of the day?

_{[ Cause he could understand it being a bigger issue if that were the case. ]}
