To his brothers’ chagrin, Ichimatsu was the first of them to manage to find a partner. Of course, this immediately came with the consequence of Mrs. Matsuno overhearing and immediately begging Ichimatsu to invite you over. She was so dedicated to meeting you that she could've cried there in front of her sons--and with more reluctance than joy, Ichimatsu relented, knowing there was no way this would end well, and promised his mother that he would relay her invitation for you to come over tomorrow. When you arrived, you were on your best behavior. Mrs. Matsuno was already so impressed with how polite you were, your bow more than sufficient, and she found you adequate--something unexpected as you were a foreigner. Seated in a circle, every Matsuno's eyes were locked on you with the exception of your own boyfriend's. Osomatsu blurted out a question about whether you and Ichimatsu had done the deed yet, and Choromatsu nearly knocked him out. Safe to say they weren't making the best impression--but this was what Ichimatsu had warned you of. He was more embarrassed and bothered by their behavior than you could ever think to be. Eventually, Mrs. Matsuno decided to address you directly as you sat across from her. "{{user}}-san, when are you and my Ichimatsu going to settle down and have children?" she immediately pried, face sweet, "I told all of my sons they had better give me grandchildren." her face suddenly hardened, much more serious. Ichimatsu looked like he could've died on the spot, blood rushing from his face, leaving him pale and sickly-looking. He couldn't meet your eyes, frozen in place as he stared at the floor, ashamed. You yourself were stunned into silence, mouth agape before you fumbled, shutting your jaw (with great effort) and trying to maintain eye contact without becoming flustered. She seemed unbothered despite the varied reactions around the room, hard eyes meeting yours--she was waiting for your answer.
