Moving to Japan was your lifelong dream, and you were able to do it by being an influencer. Settling in Akatsuka Ward, you find the small sector to be quite cozy... that is until you meet your neighbors.

Chapter 1: The Move

Chapter Text

You sighed, your eyes lazily wandering for your bags that moved across the conveyer belt. You arrived in Japan moving from the USA. Your career had allowed you to live in this moment. You were ecstatic but you were so jet lagged. You whipped out your phone and tweeted out how you landed. Seeing your tweet blow up, you shut off the notification. You loved being on youtube, and you were blessed to be doing what you loved, but dear God sleep was calling your name. Once you grabbed your bags, you pulled out your phone to play some music and see where you were from your new home. You blared heavy metal and emo music to keep you awake, you had to move all your shit anyways, and meet your neighbors. It was still early so you bought a sandwich and drink to carry with you.

You took a bus to Atatsuka Ward, the new area where your home was. You got off at the bus stop and walked around. This area seemed so nice and cozy! You really enjoyed this region. You suddenly wandered to your house by some miracle. You grabbed your keys and open the door and placed your bags in the living room. Your home was filled with boxes and furniture. You groaned as you really didn't want to do this by yourself. It wasn't your fault you had your shit and a bunch of equipment for your channel. You decided to procrastinate by greeting your neighbors! You got dressed in a black tank top, pair of jean shorts, and black vans. Tying your hair up in a high fluffy ponytail, you walked to the home next to you. You greeted the elderly woman who lived next to you, whose name was Sara. She sat with you offering you tea which you gladly accepted. You basically had to inform her of your career which made her laugh.

"Oh dear, but that makes you more lively hmm? It seems we will have another bunch around here!" She chirped.

You tilted your head at her response as you drank the tea she made you.

"Oh, you haven't met the Matsunos? That's the family that lives in front of you dear! You should really stop by to say hello! Such a lively family and I'm sure you'll find something of interest." Sara giggled.

You responded with a low hum, "Well I guess I should go over, thank you for your hospitality!" You said.

"Oh any time dear, you can stop by any time if you ever need anything!" Sara said waving you off.

You then walked to the house in front of yours. It seemed somewhat smaller than yours but you couldn't help feeling relaxed by the cozy atmosphere the house radiated. You knocked on the door. Another elderly woman opens the door.

"Oh hello! Do you need anything?" The woman looked stunned.

"Ah hello! My name is (Y/N) (L/N), I just moved in over there across the street! I came just to say hello and yknow..." You kinda trailed off.

"Oh, that's wonderful! My name is Matsuyo Matsuno! Please come inside, you can join me and my sons for lunch!" Matsuyo said ushering you inside, a devious twinkle in her eye.

You happily walked inside, free food? Fuck yeah!

You sat at the table in the middle of the living room, you heard her mention sons so the commotion upstairs didn't surprise you.

Matsuyo set down a plate of fruit on the table.

"I peeled some pears! Lunch will be ready soon so come down! We have a guest." Matsuyo screeched, walking back to the kitchen.

You grabbed a pear and then suddenly, it was like a fucking stampede running downstairs. A blush crept across your face as the six men sat down with you, totally hypnotized by the pears.

Dude, these guys were hot, but when she said sons you totally thought she meant like, little kids? Maybe even high schoolers! Not six hot adult men.

You tried to say something but all that came out was a high squeak.

That's when they all finally turned to you.

"EEEEHHHHHH?!?!" The boys screeched.

"Boys, this is (Y/N) (L/N)! She moved in across from us!" Matsuyo said, now joining the table.

"H-hello..." You said, now shy.

Matsuyo only grinned, this is a wonderful sign she couldn't help but think.

"I moved from America and um, I work as an... youtuber? God, it sounds so gross saying that but yeah." You laughed to yourself.

"Wow, that's pretty cool for a pretty lady! I'm Osomatsu Matsuno! I'm the kinda ringleader of these idiots." Osomatsu said with his signature smile.

The rest of the group shot daggers back at him.

"Hello, my darling! My name is Karamatsu Matsuno! I hope we will see each other more in life and in your dreams!" Karamatsu said, grabbing your hand and giving it a light kiss.

Your heartbeat was so fucking loud right now and you were going to short circuit but that was cut short with the purple hoodie guy punching the shit out of Karamatsu.

"Cut it out Shittymatsu!" The purple and green hoodie boys yelled.

Your eyes met with the purple hoodie guy.

A light blush dusted his cheeks, "Ichimatsu," was the only thing he muttered as he went back to looking somewhere else.

You turned to the burst of energy next to you as he smiled widely.

"I'm Jyushimatsu!" He laughed.

You couldn't help but let out a giggle as his laugh was infectious. All the boys thought you were adorable.

You met eyes with the green hoodie man as he recoiled with your gaze.

"I-I'm Choromatsu Matsuno!" He squeaked, a nervous blushing mess.

Then you turned to the pink hoodie man next to you.

"I'm Todomatsu, but you can call me Totty! Say you say you're an influencer sooo, wanna give me your phone number and socials?" He said, with puppy dog eyes.

You both got extremely distracted with exchanging your socials. Totally unaware of the mental battle going on between the brothers.

After you were done with that, Matsuyo got up to finally server you all and went into the kitchen to eat, just to mainly listen to your conversation and eat.

"So what kind of content do you do (Y/N)-chan?" Choromatsu asked, slurping some hotpot broth.

"Mmm, hard to say, I kinda make what I want but I guess if I had to say, I delve into stuff like anime, music, and cosplays." You said, taking a bite of some shrimp that melted in your mouth.

"You like anime?" Choromatsu now said, completely entranced by you.

"Yeah, I watch a lot of it and do reviews and recommendations, I got really lucky with my channel and it allowed me to move to somewhere I always wanted to go! But even then, if this doesn't go on forever, I have my bachelor's degree in English I guess." You said.

Wow smart and hot, they all thought.

You sighed, "But what do you all do for a living?"

They all fell silent.

"Well, I work part-time at a cafe... which I have to go to now." Totty groaned. He wanted to stay with you but, sadly another time.

"Don't forget to text me (Y/N)-chan! I'll see you later!" He smiled at you but shot daggers at his brothers.

You waved him farewell. You sighed, content with a full stomach.

"Well, y'all do anything else?" You asked, looking at the boys.

"Nah, we don't work." Osomatsu shrugged.

The boys internally died, they were ready for you to get up and walk away, be disgusted, or just didn't wanna be there.

"I get it. After I finished college, I had no idea of what to do. I didn't do anything for months. The only reason I just got off my ass was because content creating became a big deal for me. My job ended up me doing something I loved." You said, smiling sweetly.

Oh, their hearts couldn't take it. You were too sweet. More importantly, they were kind of shocked that you weren't raring to shit on them or make them feel bad.

"Ah, I should probably get back, I have a lot of unpacking to do." You said getting up to stretch.

"My Karamatsu angel, do you need any help?" Karamatsu said, painfully of course but it made you giggle.

"Honestly, if the five of you helped me, I'd really appreciate it, I got a lot of heavy shit to fix." You laughed.

"Then we are off! We will be back mom!" Choromatsu chirped.

"Stay safe." She said, but he smiled unknown to any of you, she basically thought you were a blessing in disguise.

-----------------------

You opened the door to the home, still greeted with the number of boxes that were there last time. Getting down to business, you assigned the boys to take several boxes and items to different rooms, as you had more rooms to spare but you honestly needed just 3, your bedroom, video filming area, and studio. You had two other rooms you were just going to make into guest rooms or something but you'd get there when you get there. As you were busy fixing your kitchen, the boys were unpacking your equipment.

"Sheesh, content creator huh?" Osomatsu said, placing your enormous PC on the desk that Karamatsu and Ichimatsu fixed.

Choromatsu opened a box and instantly got a huge nosebleed. The boys rushed over to the box to see what was inside, the box was filled with anime cosplays such as Sailor Moon, Kakeguri, and Makima from Chainsaw Man.

"Such a perv RisingFappyski!" Jyushimatsu laughed, but all the other brothers couldn't help but imagine seeing you in this.

You ran upstairs seeing Choromatsu out cold, panicking you brought back towels and wiped him clean.

"Ehh, he's fine! (Y/N), where do you want us to put your sexy cosplays!" Osomatsu grinned.

Now you were a mess, sexy??? He was probably not talking about you but the outfit itself.

"The studio, I think that box is my unfinished cosplays. I have the mannequins somewhere to set them up so just set the box in there." You said wiping Choromatsu still.

He got up seeing you leering over him, an instant blush again.

"Are you okay?" You handed him a glass of water you brought with you.

He could only nod while drinking the water. He thought it was extremely adorable that you checked up on him.

"Maybe you should go sit down, okay? Or you could help me in the bedroom? I got a lot of figures you could help me set up once I'm done with the kitchen." You nudged him.

You were playing with his heart as you grabbed his hand and walked him to your room. You sat him on your bare bed and left the room.

Choromatsu was short-circuiting.

"Nii-san!!!" Jyushimatsu yelled.

-------------

Outside the home, Matsuyo and Sara were sitting on the Matsuno bench drinking tea watching your home. This was basically their routine, but you made things a lot more interesting.

"That girl seems nice, you think they have a shot?" Sara said.

"My sons are idiots, I love them but it's going to take a lot for that girl to even realize what's going on. Maybe though, if my sons get their shit together." Matsuyo sighed.

"Who knows, maybe she's the one who can whip them into shape, it's what happened with me and my husband!" Sara snickered.

Matsuyo and Sara giggled and gossiped about their love lives until it was time to go.

-------------------

You and the boys fell onto the couch, everyone was tired and ready to sleep. The droning white noise of the set-up TV was lulling you to sleep. You leaned and basically fell into the lap of Ichimatsu and Karamatsu. Both boys exploded in a deep shade of red. Osomatsu then ruined the fun and poked you awake. Ugly glares were given from the brothers to the eldest. You rose up, now fully sitting in Ichimatsu's lap. The purple Matsuno was gone. You turned back and jumped up, a full shade of scarlet.

"I'm sorry!! I was just really tired... 14-hour flight and moving a lot of shit y'know?" You played with your fingers.

"Cute..." They all thought.

"I guess we should part our ways for now... I am really tired and need to sleep, I gotta edit my new videos in the morning anyways. Oh, but before I forget!" You ran to your room quickly.

The boys shared a puzzled look.

You came back downstairs and presented a key, placing it in Osomatsu's hand. They all looked shocked.

"This is for?" Choromatsu asked.

"The key to my house! I trust you all, and um when I finally settle, I'll pay you all for helping me, maybe lunch or something? My treat I promise! Of course, we can still have Totty with us, I feel bad he was busy at work today." You said, almost nonchalantly.

They all kept looking at the key and then back at you. Did you do something wrong??

"So you want... us back here?" Ichimatsu said, still stunned.

"Why wouldn't I? You all were a great help and I would like to think this is the start of us getting to know each other." You said, innocently.

The cupid's arrow was hitting them like 10 million times with each word you spoke.

"Okay! Well, expect us to be back often then!" Osomatsu said, just to gauge your reaction.

"Can't wait!" You giggled.

--------------------------

You watched the boys make it back to their house then you ran up to your room and screamed into your bed. You felt like such an awkward ditz! Ah, you didn't care though, you had an excuse to hang out with most of the Matsunos today, you just hoped you got more chances with them. After 5 minutes of being on the bed, you fell asleep, ending off another successful day. Sleeping peacefully, unaware of the massive celebration going on in the Matsuno household, because of your kind gesture.
