It was never meant to be. He knew this. He knew this from the depths of his mind. But dear god, did his heart never give up false hope. How many times did it have to break for it to realize when nothing in the world met its useless expectations?
He wished he could tear his heart out, stomp it into the ground along with the rest of his emotions. He wanted to stop feeling, stop hoping. But in his reality, none of his wishes came true.
He had to face reality, like he always did. Face forward and receive the brunt force of the brutal force.
quite frankly nothing feels right. so here have to Atsutodo (even though i’m not sure if the fandom still exists on tumblr now...)
Ever since he knew how to talk, Atsushi was prepared for a cruel world full of backstabbing millionaires and filthy liars to survive in the major business world.
What he was never prepared for was actually stabbing someone and cutting off their head to survive in the real world.
Well, does a zombie count as a “someone” at this point? They’re already inhuman, right?
Atsushi dodges just in time to avoid a rotten arm grabbing at him. These things aren’t forgiving enough for him to muse about their state in the world. He raises his machete and slices down another zombie—god, how the hell did his life come to this?
It was supposed to be a regular Saturday, staying home all day doing nothing. Instead he’s outside, fighting for his life as he makes his way through the hoard with only a single goal in mind.
Thank god the house isn’t far from his place by foot. He abandoned his car a long time ago when the streets became infested. But it thinned as he got closer to the neighborhoods, and Atsushi could handle the zombies one at a time.
Now if he just turns this corner—
He stops in his tracks.
The Matsuno household. It’s a mess. Broken windows, doors, roof. Like the house became animated and got into a fight.
A low groan.
Atsushi snaps back into reality, jumps back as a hand swipes at his face. He swings the machete, the force throwing the zombie into the wall. He swings again, lodges the blade into its throat, then pulls it out and swings again.
Head rolling on the ground, Atsushi catches his breath before running to the house. He curses. Every second is precious.
The door hangs on its hinges at a crooked angle. Atsushi pushes against it, but it doesn’t budge. A barricade?
“Oi, Todomatsu? Todomatsu, you there?” He bangs his shoulder against the door. It shifts slightly, then nothing.
“Todo—” He hears a guttural sound, and swings his machete. It sticks into a zombie’s chest. He yanks it out, and aims higher. Right in the throat. It goes down, taking the machete with it. Atsushi raises his foot, and stomps down, a human guillotine. He snatches up the machete.
“Todomatsu?!” He shouts into the house again.
“Who’s there?” Atsushi hears a voice call out in the wreck.
“It’s Atsushi!” He yells, feeling desperate. “Let me in!”
“Atsushi? You’re that rich boyfriend.”
They know who he is. Thank god. “Yeah just—just let me in, please!”
He hears shuffling, someone moving objects, before the door is lifted ever so slightly, enough for Atsushi to crawl under. Atsushi gets up as the person quickly puts the door back, and he helps them move the barricade back into place. He turns to thank them when he freezes.
“Todomatsu…?” He looks just like… But no he’s not. He’s wearing a red hoodie, similar to the one Todomatsu usually wears. Then he remembers Todomatsu mentioning he has brothers.
“Ha, you wish, wouldn’t you,” he says, rubbing a finger under his nose. Something seems stiff. With that, he reveals himself as Osomatsu, Todomatsu’s eldest twin brother.
“Where—where is everyone?” Where is Todomatsu?
“… You’re part of that company, right?” Osomatsu dodges the question. “The one with all the doctors and scientists?”
A vague description, but Atsushi knows what he’s talking about. He nods, ignoring the sinking feeling in his stomach.
Osomatsu gives him a grin, but it’s broken. His eyes, in fact, are screaming.
“Thank god. I think—can you help me?”
“With what?”
Osomatsu opens his mouth to answer, but he’s cut off by a groan. Whipping around, Osomatsu tackles the shadowy form that turned up from behind. Atsushi moves to help him, but stops when Osomatsu shouts.
“Stay there! I’ve got this!”
He manages to subdue the zombie and presses it to the ground, but makes no move to kill it.
“Osomatsu…?”
Panting heavily, Osomatsu looks up. “Sorry, he got loose. I’m trying to keep them away from everyone, see.” He smiles again, weakly. He looks like he’s going to cry any second.
The body beneath him writhes and snaps, struggling to break free and take a bite out of the two humans present.
“Why? Why won’t you kill it?”
“Ah, you can’t see from there, can you?”
“See what?”
“Why don’t—why don’t you come closer and see for yourself? I—I’d say he doesn’t bite but”—he laughs, almost maniacally—“you and I both know that’s a big ass lie.”
Atsushi doesn’t reply, just does as he’s requested.
His breath hitches when his eyes adjust to the darkness and allows him to see just who Osomatsu is holding down.
“He—he’s the first one to turn. He got some others too. They’re all in the back. I don’t know how or why this is happening but please—please can you help?”
Atsushi wants to answer, wants to say he can.
“Please?” Osomatsu’s voice is filled with tears.
Atsushi doesn’t know what to feel.
“…Please, please just tell me you can help—” He’s cut off as the writhing body beneath him snaps wildly, straining his neck to reach Osomatsu’s face. “Just tell me you can help me.”
Atsushi just stares. Stares at who Osomatsu’s trying to subdue.
Todomatsu.
it’s ok to tag this as atsutodo right? i mean if i were to flesh this out they would be a focus, as well as atsushi and osomatsu’s buddy cop adventures as they save the day (people: I don’t think you really understand the “buddy cop” genre....)
it’s a long post but i don’t know if i wanna post this on ao3 yet.
sometimes--no all the time, I feel like writing, but I can’t write for some reason. For some goddamn no good reason.
I got worlds and words and worthwhile thoughts that I want to share, but it’s stuck inside and crumbling into nothing but sand.
I just want to lay down the land and show you where the mountains are, where the rivers run, where the lakes lie, but no, I can’t. It’s all clogged up in a drain full of static fuzz and messy thoughts. I don’t know what I’m doing quite honestly.
i keep wanting to write a Harry Potter AU for Osomatsu San just for kicks but then run into the fact that they’re Japanese while the Harry Potter universe is Not. So I keep imagining a convo like
Osomatsu: Hey, we’re still Japanese right?
Choromatsu: Yeah?
Osomatsu: Then how come we’re going to a school in Scotland? Isn’t there a school of magic in Japan?
Do hear that? That's the sound of my screams as I slowly realize that osomatsu san season 2 is confirmed. I descend further into hell with each coming day.
Priest!Eku and vampire!Reigen on Valentine’s day–or before Valentine’s day…
“Are you going to get me chocolates?”
“Vampires don’t need chocolate.”
“And vampires don’t need garlic bread but you don’t see that stopping me!”
“For fuck’s sake Reigen you told me you gave up garlic bread. In fact you promised me you’d stop trying to so anything even remotely life-threatening.”
“Ok but garlic bread.”
“Reigen.”
“Fine fine, we’re getting off topic anyway. Will you or will you not get me chocolates? There’s only one right answer here.”
“No.”
“Why?!”
Anyway in the end Ekubo gets him this huge thing of ferero rocher chocolates and Reigen almost burns down an entire kitchen in an attempt to make homemade chocolates….
