Ooh, how about some platonic scenarios? How would the Matsuno’s be as your best friend?
Yes!! Oh I’m so excited to do these!!
I should also mention that because you specifically requested the Matsunos, I’ll only do them on this post, but you can feel free to ask for any characters in the show, as long as they have some form of characterization, canon or no!
Osomatsu
He’s down for absolutely anything
He gives awful advice, but he’s kind of great at listening
Once he gets a phone, he’s texting you at like 3 a.m. with literally everything he can think of. If you respond, he’ll never stop. Even if it’s just once.
He isn’t used to having his own friends or his own life, so he can be a bit clingy
Getting over fights with him is SUPER, SUPER easy because he can’t hold a grudge
He’s SO honest. He’ll never lie, and you don’t really have to worry about him omitting information because there’s little that he sees that he doesn’t want to talk to his best friend about!
Karamatsu
Jokingly flirting is something he’d do a lot with his best friend, of course after a conversation on whether or not it’s crossing any boundaries
He keeps buying you clothes. They are all to his own taste and his brothers make fun of you when you do wear them
You have a lot of deep conversations together. He’s not usually taken very seriously by anyone else, so talking to you is refreshing
He likes to call you. He’s really bad at texting-- his text tone is really flat and conversations end quickly; calling or hanging out irl is the best route for you two
You guys often end up inviting Chibita out, too, or otherwise end up at his oden stand
Choromatsu
He tries to emulate you a lot; as his best friend, you often end up being his “straight man” as it were. He wants that title himself, so he tries to mimic you
You think it’s really funny. The longer you hang out, the more that comes out in him
He drags you to a lot of idol shows. He also makes you pay
Making fun of him for being creepy makes him cut it out a little bit-- he thinks of you very highly and always wants to impress you
He always thinks that he could be doing better or more with himself. The most manageable way he can accomplish this is by hanging out with you and working up from there
Ichimatsu
He doesn’t really like to talk. Or do anything
Most of what he does is play with cats, but hey! You’re certainly welcome to join. He’ll introduce you to all of them
His diet is absolute garbage-- he never feels like making himself anything nice. However, if you’re making him food, he feels bad just waiting around for you to finish, and will join in
He likes being around you when he feels bad. He doesn’t know quite how to say it, and if he did, he wouldn’t want to. He just likes to sit with you, because you make him feel better just by being around
Jyushimatsu
You never know what you’re signing up for when you agree to hang out with him, but that’s kind of what appeals to you the most
A lot of the time, it is baseball-related. Those sessions are short-lived because you pitch the ball to him, and he bats it into outer space
Having long, deep talks is not exactly what the two of you do-- it’s not that you don’t connect on a deep level, it’s more that the world is so hard already, the two of you just want to focus on having fun together
He’s great to help distract you when you feel sad, and he’s really good at helping you solve your problems by using out-of-the-box methods
Todomatsu
He seems really fickle, and like he doesn’t care about you on a deep level. From the outside, it doesn’t look like he treats you any differently than his other friends
You don’t get a lot of one-on-one time with him, because he likes to be spending time with all of his friends, but the one-on-one time that does happen is spent talking about both of your problems and worries
You kind of assume he talks to everyone like that?? But he doesn’t
He’s definitely very extroverted, so you’re almost always going out with him. You’ve barely been in his house, and he’s certainly never introduced you to his brothers-- he thinks of you so highly, and he doesn’t want them to scare you off
That being said, you have met them. You got to see Todomatsu at his rudest. You thought it was hilarious, but he also wasn’t trying to hide it that much from you, because he just got that comfortable being around him
You get invited to EVERYTHING he goes to. He likes having you by his side!
How would the boys react to if their S/O who’s usually quiet and sweet, suddenly yelled at them because they were annoyed at them?
Hmm, well I think they’d all be a little surprised... I guess it depends on how frequent of a thing this is, like if this had been the first time ever or if it had been the second time and onwards. I’ll assume you mean first time in my responses... Though admittedly this ask is a little “sadder” than I’m used to...
Osomatsu
I think Osomatsu would be surprised, but not enough that it would affect him too deeply like Ichimatsu. He’d probably yell back like, “What!? Since when did you yell!?” and get all huffy and storm off to stew. However, since it wouldn’t affect him too much, I think he’d eventually come back wanting to “water under the bridge” it. I think if you apologized when he was feeling better, he’d be pretty quick to forgive and want to move on and not make a big deal of it. He’d probably throw in some brutal self-honesty about how he’s been known to respond too harshly in situations like that.
Karamatsu
It’s hard for me to imagine Karamatsu annoying his S/O on purpose, so I think he’d probably feel pretty bad and ashamed for having caused you to snap like that, especially if you’re usually quiet and sweet. He’d immediately be very apologetic and would probably act scared or submissive as he usually does when presented with someone who’s yelling at him. He’d assume he was the one in the wrong 100% and do his best to appease you... Not exactly a healthy response, so I would hope S/O would explain to him that they were the ones that messed up.
Choromatsu
Oh he’d be shocked, but like Osomatsu, he wouldn’t be having it. This guy’s got a nasty temper so he’s not just going to sit and let himself get yelled at unless it’s someone he doesn’t know very well. He’d yell right back and probably spend some time lecturing you on how yelling didn’t solve anything... As he was yelling. I think though this only applies if he did something that caused you to yell that he didn’t think was “yell-worthy”.
Because I will also add the potential scenario of him causing you to yell when you otherwise wouldn’t by genuinely being incredibly annoying in his nagging or “rising”. If that was the case, I think he would actually clam up and be pretty apologetic. If it was something he knew deep down he was genuinely guilty for, he’d cave.
Ichimatsu
I think Ichimatsu would probably be the most bothered/caught off guard of all of them. As we know, he’s a bit fragile and sensitive. I think getting yelled at period is enough to scare him off a bit, so getting suddenly yelled at by an S/O he had believed to be quiet would definitely wig him out. You might have to work to regain his trust afterwards or provide a REALLY good apology, because otherwise I could definitely see him being thrown off to the sudden change, and not in a good way. I don’t think he’d be honest with you about how he felt either, acting like “it’s fine... it’s fine” when really deep down he’s super hurt, so you’d have to know to tell him that it “wasn’t fine” how you acted.
Jyushimatsu
I think he’d be surprised, but like Osomatsu, not too bothered. He tends to be pretty loud himself though if he had an S/O that was usually quiet suddenly yelling at him, I think he’d back off and give them some space before engaging further. There’s a wiser side to him that seems to know when to back off from conflict until both parties are calmer and he doesn’t seem too easily shaken by things like this, not that he can’t get shaken by something catching him off guard (ep 24 anyone?), but I don’t think he’d be quite as shaken if it was just someone yelling at him that hadn’t previously done so before.
Todomatsu
Surprisingly, I think it would affect him a lot more than he’d let on, sort of like Ichimatsu. Even though he’s pretty clever and certainly a grown man, he does have this “crybaby” quality to him that I think would cause him to sniffle, say “...This is fine.”, and try to act like it didn’t bother him (when it clearly did) before leaving to distance himself and take some time to himself away from you. I think he’d be genuinely hurt though, and while he wouldn’t be as heartbroken as Ichimatsu, he’d definitely want an apology and most likely ask for one directly later. He’s not one to shy away from demanding to be treated with respect when it’s someone he trusts.
Hi! Can I get a matchup for Jujutsu Kaisen? I prefer a male matchup please 💕✨ I’m an INFP, and a Pisces. People often describe me as the “mom’ friend and has a lively charm when I’m with people. I love making people happy, and spoiling people. However, I can be a prick sometimes by degrading people for no reason, but it’s just my tough love that I express. I love to wear sweatpants and comfortable clothing, but I also love turtle neck sweaters. I’m an artist an a writer too! Thank you!
I pair you with…. Fushiruo Megumi!
I think you both would be the sort of ‘mom friend’ of your respective friend group. You would do a fantastic job of keeping Itadori and even Gojo in check with your love to keep people happy but also your snappy degrading comments. It’s also a fact that Megumi likes wearing comfy clothes!
(Itadori got you both matching sweatpants as a joke but you both wear them on the regular when you aren’t fighting curses or at school)
Megumi would also love to watch you paint, it would be such a relaxing thing and he would 100% be like a cat and doze in the sun while you paint whatever you were painting at the time.
BOOK. STORE. DATES. YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE WOULDN’T
He likes nonfiction books and he would happily let you drag him around to look at books or notebooks for writing or more paint supplies.
As someone who is introverted and typically very stoic, he is like the calm to your sunshine. Your lively charm would help bring him out of his shell while he would help keep you calm and collected by something as small as holding your hand or a light touch at your waist. He wouldn’t be super clingy, but he would want to at least be touching you in some way when you were relaxing, whether it be intertwined fingers or resting his head in your lap (please play with his hair, it looks so fluffy), he would be happy to just sit and listen to you talk or paint.
Can I get a matchup please for the Matsuno boys? I’m a female, heterosexual, and a Pisces. I’m the “mom” of the group and I love helping people. I’m basically everyone’s therapist basically haha. I’m basically everyone’s friend but nobody’s favorite because I have trust issues and I never rant/vent to people. People always assume that they know me, thinking that I’m a kind and sweet fellow who’s optimistic, but behind my mask, I’m just scared, insecure, and just needs attention. (1/3) ✨
I match you with Ichimatsu Matsuno!
The first time you met the darkest Matsuno was when you tried to find a new place to read in peace after this barista in Sutabaa flirted with you a little too much and made you feel uncomfortable. Not that he was harassing you, but you preferred your own time without someone slipping their phone number into your receipt.
As you opened door to a cat cafe, a cat suddenly bolted out from between your legs. Shocked, you run after it and follow it to an alley where you see this man hunched over something. You fear he might be homeless but then you hear him make tch tch tch voices and you see that he has at least 5 cats eating from the palm of his hand. Including the escaped cat.
You approach the mysterious man carefully and when you cough to get his attention he almost jumps to the roof in shock. You scared all eight lives out of him! You take immediate notice that he looks the same as the barista in Sutabaa, but he doesn’t seem to recognize you, and frankly, he gives off totally different aura than the flirty barista.
You ask about the cat from him and he is stuttering and blushing so badly you couldn’t get any sense of his words. But then he gives you the missing cat and you smile, thanking him and asking the question.
“Would you join me in the cafe?”
He didn’t want to, but when a hot woman asks him to join and offers him a cafe’s goodies who is he to reject a free meal. When the cat is returned to its home the cafe staff offers you and Ichimatsu free kitty pancakes. While they decorate them, you learn Ichimatsu’s name and he yours.
You’re both on your guards, but when they bring the jiggly chocolate and berry decorated pancakes you both loosen up and dig in. You change few words here and there, but you warm up to each other. You share him your book and he listens but says very little. He is that shy but somehow you manage to make a promise to meet him again. This was the start of you two.
Pisces women are smart, sophisticated, and mature zodiac signs. They make great companions as they know how to help people overcome their troubles and how to solve them. Your physiatrist studies and your motherly and caregiving nature give Ichimatsu a secured and safe way to open up so he lets his guard down around you and lets you see his fragile heart.
Ichimatsu acts like he couldn’t care any less about your hobbies, but secretly he is super curious about them, but he is screaming at himself for putting down your interests like they were everyday Karamatsu things that he could get away for badmouthing about. He fears the day when you finally break up with him because of his harsh self-hatred and sabotage come between you but you surprise him each time with a warm hug when he fears the worst. Though, he will faint on the spot if you hug him with your boobs against him. Give the man his goodies, he got a nosebleed from bras only.
There was this one time when he really hurt your feelings and you left him behind as you run back to your home. He knew he fucked up and he was ready to accept the fact that you now hated him. He confronted his brothers about it and they all said the same thing.
“BASTARD, GETTING GIRLFRIEND BEFORE US!!!” But after that, they insisted that he tries to win you back. Imagine what a shock it was when Ichimatsu stands there outside with a huge Shiba Inu plushie you can only win from a crane game. He is full of self-hatred when he apologizes and says that it wouldn’t be surprising if you cut him loose. So when you kiss him and forgive him he actually bursts into tears. Oh my God, he had prepared to be turned down but you welcomed him back.
After that, he pays attention to everything you do and asks if you could teach him to draw or do crochets. He is a quick learner and it’s a joy to see his eyes brighten when he successes at something. But the best moment for him is when he gets to spend time with you
I know I requested about the brothers S/O passing away, how about their only child passing away? I’m sorry, I love angst haha
Don’t apologize! I love it, too >:3 Good thing there are so many different ways to grieve/handle trauma! I made ‘em all longer than the last one, too
Osomatsu kind of... gives up.
His kid meant everything to him. He loved- no, loves, them so much. They never fought or had big spats-- not that the kid was the best-behaved kid in the world, but Osomatsu would always have a sort of childishness to him that bonded him so effortlessly to them. They were inseparable-- the kid was like a little mini him, and he loved them so much.
Standing in front of their grave with the rest of their family long gone was a lonelier feeling than I can describe or even really relate to-- to lose a child is, to my knowledge, one of the worst things you can experience. So young, too...
He remembers the day it happened. Before he even knew it had happened, he felt his heart suddenly leap into his throat, like he himself was in danger. He wasn’t-- he’d just been watching TV-- so what could the problem be?
As time goes on, he feels the same way. There’s a big, gaping hole inside of him that can’t be filled-- and oh boy, did he ever try to fill it. Alcohol didn’t work, food didn’t work, and talking about it didn’t work, either. There was nothing to be done. All he can do is sit in his sadness and... what? What does he do?
There’s a day, though, where he’s just sitting by himself. The pain is beginning to ebb. Thinking about the most beautiful child that was ever born doesn’t hurt so much at that particular moment. The days that they spent together were the most wonderful days of his life, and right then, he knows that his kid would be so mad at him if he just sat there feeling sad about them. They’d be so mad if they were forgotten or blocked out, too. The memories continue, and he cycles through them like one might cycle through the playlist on an old CD a friend had burned for them years ago. He’d start to cry.
━━━━━━
[Warning for death via car accident and a depiction of dissociation.]
It was strange, on the day of the loss, to see Karamatsu so loud.
He’d immediately called his brothers to the hospital when the accident had happened. When they arrived, Karamatsu was screaming at the poor receptionist, trying to wrangle any amount of information out of her. This was his son. He needed to see him immediately.
“I’m sorry, sir,” the receptionist said, “but I really can’t tell you anything. There isn’t anything to tell. I don’t have any updates.”
He had to be dragged away from her with the combined force of all five of his brothers.
Osomatsu had managed to calm him down the most. His attitude was so genuinely carefree that it somehow relaxed Karamatsu-- if someone could just laugh and shrug it off, maybe he was just making a big deal out of the situation.
It’s not that he felt like it was certain that everything would be alright, but he, at least, was able to relax.
He doesn’t quite remember what happens next-- just little moments. Following the doctor to the room where his son was lying, bruised and bloody and broken. The sight of his face was clear as day, but his brain did him the favour of blocking the rest out. Voices that sounded far away, comfort just outside of his grasp. The only thing his mind let through was the sound of the even, flat tone the heart monitor had taken.
Days went past in a bit of a blur, like that. Even the funeral passed by in the blink of an eye, and Karamatsu was present for it only in body.
Almost two weeks had passed before he came back to. He hadn’t lost every detail of his memory; he just gained awareness that he’d been floating around for the last two weeks without really accomplishing anything.
He checked the time-- one thirty in the morning. As he got up (good god was he ever hungry-- had he eaten anything?), he noticed that he was back at his parents’ house. His brothers were all back in their futon, sound asleep. It was a comforting sight. Things had gone back a few years.
He just reheated whatever leftovers were in the fridge-- in this house, there were always leftovers.
He went over it all that night. He recalled the majority of the last two weeks, even if he wasn’t totally present for them. He had a memory of Osomatsu and Todomatsu teaming up, poking at him, trying to get him to respond. Their persistence lasted a surprisingly long time. Osomatsu wanted to draw something lewd on his face and Choromatsu yelling at him not to do that. He’d responded, then, but he couldn’t quite remember what he’d said.
He sighed while he thought about his son. He should have been there, or done something, or something... He wasn’t sure what. He also didn’t really feel guilty about it-- it couldn’t possibly have been his fault. Sure, if he’d kept a better eye on him, it wouldn’t have happened; but it was more on the driver! That text message could have waited! That truck had mangled his only son, and now he was left with nothing.
“...Except for my leftovers.”
“Jyushimatsu, please don’t read my thoughts right now.”
━━━━━━
[Warning for death via illness.]
Choromatsu really only has the one way of dealing with pain and grief-- and it’s cleaning. He cleans the whole house over and over again until it’s completely spotless.
It’s obvious to those who are close to him (such as his partner) that there are some things that he just doesn’t touch very much. For example, the door to their daughter’s room was closed after the incident and he never went in there. She was a messy kid, too-- her clothes and toys still covered the floor to the point you couldn’t step anywhere without stepping on something.
There were also dozens of empty pill bottles on the nightstand as well as a little heart monitor next to her alarm clock (that she hadn’t used in the past year, since she wasn’t really attending school, anymore). There were also a lot of cups and glasses that had yet to be taken back down to the kitchen and washed-- the icing on the cake of this little situation would be finding mould in what used to be cups of various juices.
There were other things that Choromatsu hadn’t touched-- her little shoes were still lined up neatly at the door, and they hadn’t been touched in a long time. Choromatsu had been the one to line them up there in the first place. It was a Friday-- the last day she went to school. She wasn’t feeling well so he was going to let her stay home the following Saturday, but just before dinner, she collapsed.
They had a little whiteboard with a calendar on it. They used to cross off every day-- when Choromatsu or his partner forgot, their daughter would always step up and do it herself. She never let it slip her mind (unlike all of the homework she had due).
It was painful, but his partner had to bite the bullet and clean out their daughter’s room. It just had to happen. It had been two months and it was starting to feel unhealthy to keep all of that right there, and it was clear that the two of them weren’t going to have another kid anytime soon.
Choromatsu found the door open and his partner cleaning it out. Most of their daughter’s things were packed in clear garbage bags.
“What are you doing?! We can’t throw this out!” Choromatsu never yelled at his partner, but he was just so shocked.
“I’m not throwing it out,” they replied. “This just makes it easier to carry. I rented a storage unit and I’m going to put it all there. I’ll need help with the furni-”
“What?! Why?! You can’t just take all of her things like she was never even he-”
“I’m not! I’m not pretending like she never existed! I’m not trying to get rid of her.”
“Then why don’t you talk about her?”
“What?” They tilted their head and put down the bag that they were piling clean clothes out of the dresser into.
“You just...” Choromatsu looked at his partner and saw all of the times he’d spent with them, and with... her. His voice broke. “You just go quiet when she’s mentioned. You don’t say anything to me. You go back to work, and you smile, and you...”
“Oh, come here.” They hold Choromatsu tightly. He’d started to cry. “I don’t go quiet when she’s mentioned. I try to change the subject when someone brings her up around you. I know that you’re having a hard time dealing with this... I just hate seeing you upset.”
He held his partner close.
“I think,” they continued, “that having all of this stuff around doesn’t help anyone. I think we need it out of the house, at least for a little while. We don’t have to put everything away, but... a lot of it takes up a lot of space.” Choromatsu nodded. “And a lot of these glasses are disgusting.” He laughed lightly, despite the tears. “No, I’m serious. I’d rather just throw a lot of these out.”
━━━━━━
The relationship that Ichimatsu had to have been in ended shortly after the death of his daughter. He loved his family, and losing one member of it was too much. He had to cut out the other.
He became rude and crass with his partner; lazy, never picked up after himself until they just left him. There was no relief-- as soon as they were gone, he realized that he was testing them. And they had failed.
Oh, well. Better that ended sooner rather than later. He knew he could have been a little more kind (they were going through the same thing, after all), but he wasn’t. And he didn’t really care that he wasn’t-- he deserved it, after all. He deserved to lose that child and he deserved to lose his partner.
He lost his job because he just stopped showing up. He wasn’t qualified for it, anyways-- he’d been with them for a few years at that point, and it was only an entry-level job, but anything like that was better than he should have had.
He wound up back at his parents’ house. The cold and almost even cruel outer shell he’d developed was apparently his personality, now. He couldn’t stop being rude and ungrateful, and he hated himself for it-- but again, he didn’t deserve the kindness his parents were showing him, anyways. What did it matter? They might as well throw him out on the streets.
Of course, they didn’t. With a bit of love, Ichimatsu very gradually started to open up again. It started with his cat friends, who cycled through visiting. At first, he felt like he didn’t deserve it, or them. As they continued coming, though, he realized that the cats didn’t really care about that. They had no grasp on “good” or “bad”-- the only thing they had a grasp on was that he was kind to them.
The idea that maybe there was no such thing as “good” or “bad” was liberating to him. He didn’t deserve the cats’ affections, and at the same time, he so did. To love is to give without asking for anything in return.
He gave his child as much as he could while he could. There was no force of fate that put them in his life, and none that took them away. Sometimes, things just happened and it didn’t always have to mean something.
He probably never got together with another partner or ever had another child, but he started a cat adoption center. He let strays come and go as they please, and took in cats that were abandoned and gave them to loving homes.
━━━━━━
A hole manifested itself in Jyushimatsu’s life, and no matter what he did, he just couldn’t shake it. It was omnipresent, and the hole pestered and festered until he couldn’t take it anymore, and then some.
The hole manifested itself in strange and different ways-- sometimes as a void in his chest where his heart should be; on days like that, he’d clutch at the fabric of his sweater, like he was expecting something to be there, and then come up short. The surprise would cross his face only for a moment before he continued on like it had never happened.
Sometimes it was a sudden chill that he couldn’t quite shake. The initial shiver lasted only a moment, but the cold stayed with him until he’d fall asleep that night.
A couple of times, it manifested in shadows. He’d stare into the darkest corners of the room, and it would be hard for him to pull his eyes away. They had a presence, almost.
Either way, after the initial accident, he was able to mostly fully recover afterwards. There were some harder days when he could hardly make it out of bed, sure, but as more and more time passed, the fewer and fewer those days became.
The hole stayed with him, though.
━━━━━━
Todomatsu genuinely loses all memory of losing his son.
He continues his days as normal. He calls for him to go to school, and he comments a lot about how little TV his son has been watching. He’ll continue on to say how proud he is of him, because all that time must be spent studying, right?
His partner doesn’t know what to do. It’s hard to tolerate sometimes, because they feel so alone. Their worst fear had just happened, and the one person they thought they could share in their grief with was only making it hurt worse. They’ve broken down in front of him, begging him to remember, but he only got concerned for his S/O. Before they called his brothers, they thought that they were going crazy.
They got in all kinds of fights about him. Todomatsu, stubborn as ever, refused to believe or acknowledge it. He was beyond defensive about the topic-- he was rather laid back about most other things. He and his S/O had never fought like this about anything.
It’s during summer vacation that Todomatsu starts coming to. He notices that his son is nowhere to be found. He must be at a friend’s house, he thinks. His S/O had notified the other parents at their kids’ school that Todomatsu was having trouble coping with the loss, so the parent of his son’s best friend knew that trying to tell Todomatsu what had happened would amount to nothing. Of course, they didn’t lie to him when he called after a week, worried-- they told him straight up that they hadn’t seen his son in a long time.
In a panic, he called a lot of other parents-- even those that didn’t like his son. He was missing, and he needed to find him.
His S/O got a few calls from concerned parents about the situation and went home early. They found Todomatsu on the floor, sobbing and panting.
Hi! Can I get a match up please? I am an Mediator (INFP) and a Pisces! I have long black hair and red-brown eyes, and I’m 5’5” tall. I have a birthmark on my back and my thigh. I like writing and drawing a lot, I’m always doing those! I play the guitar, listen to music, draw, and write as my hobbies. I’m interested in science fiction, physiology stuff, and art. I give love by giving gifts, physical affection, favors, and pet names. I receive love best by support verbally/physically. Thank you!
Let’s see...
I match you with Ichimatsu!
He might find a lot of gifts a lot to handle, but doodles of his favourite cats (which, obviously, is all of them)? AMAZING! He loves them and keeps them in his pocket. What happens when he runs out of room? Well, it’s a gag anime so he probably doesn’t.
He also absolutely melts under pet names-- he loves everything you come up with and even gets flustered when you try to come up with something and don’t quite nail it.
He’s a bit slow to warm up to physical affection, but once he’s comfortable with you, he can’t get enough! He’ll nuzzle up to whenever the whim strikes, regardless of what you’re doing.
He doesn’t have a lot of hobbies outside of Cats, but he’s a smart guy and with a little bit of effort, he finds himself falling in love with some sci-fi classics!
