Chapter 1

Chapter Notes

Every afternoon during the past week, the Matsuno sextuplets have always had freshly baked snacks. 

 

From cakes to cookies, and even enough Dorayaki's in each flavour so they wouldn't need to fight over splitting it. They always had something freshly baked for their afternoon snacks. 

But they never knew the reason why. Sure they appreciated their mother's efforts to make them something new everyday but she was a busy woman, this was getting a bit suspicious for the brothers. But no one really wanted to actually ask her in case she stopped, and the snacks were always so good!

The first one to finally open up the topic was none other than their youngest brother, "I wonder why mom keeps making us sweets?" he asked one afternoon, munching on one of the chocolate chip cookies from today's snack.

 

"Hm~ Maybe mommy is just showing her love for us in the form of sweet delicac--!"

"Maybe she wants us to do something for her?" Choromatsu said swiftly cutting off his immediate senior, ignoring Karamatsu in favour of saving everyone the painful brothers' prose.

 

Grabbing another cookie from the plate the fourth brother added his own theory on their mother's behaviour, "Maybe we did something wrong and she's bribing us?" 

 

The brother's all nodded thoughtfully, it wasn't that far fetched for their mother to do so, especially considering that it had happened multiple times before. 

 

But that was a story for another time.

 

Jyushimatsu popped another two cookies into his widely smiling mouth and munched happily. "I DUNNO! But the snacks are yummy!" 

"Jyushimatsu's right, who cares about the reason? As long as we're getting snacks does it really matter why?" The eldest of the group said, finally adding to the conversation.

"Aren't you curious though Osomatsu-niisan? Mom doesn't usually just make fresh snacks for us for no reason you know, isn't it weird?"

 

Osomatsu shrugs, grabbing handful of cookies and eating them all at once. Choromatsu and Todomatsu retract in disgust at the messy eating style, but they knew he was just doing it to tease them.

 

Choromatsu rolls his eyes. "Leave him be Todomatsu he doesn't care about anything as long as it's free"

"Ehhhh~ I'm hurt Choro-chan!"

"I told you to stop calling me that! And clean up your mess!"

 

 

But who would have thought that the one actually responsible for the making their daily afternoon sweets wasn't actually Matsuyo?

 

 

"Hmmm... what should I make today?"

No one was home again that day, it was always around mid-afternoon that everyone was out doing their own thing. There was hardly any rain in Akatsuka District as of late, so the rest of the brothers took the sunny weather in stride.

 

The actual sweets chef, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a cookbook in hand, was deciding which recipe he should try out for their snack later.

 

"They seemed to really like the cookies yesterday so I could make another batch but..." Osomatsu thought out loud, skimming the pages of his cookbook before stopping at a particular recipe and smiled. "A rollcake! This looks just like the one we had as kids too, they're gonna love it!"

 

From there it was a simple follow the recipe process: Preheat the oven, separate the eggs, whip the whites into peaks while adding sugar and vanilla extract, then mixing it together with the yolks, baking the cake, letting it cool, and adding the cream inside, before finally rolling the cake. 

 

Osomatsu took one last look at the finished product before setting down his piping bag, smiling in satisfaction and wiping off his sweat with his sleeve. "Yosh~ That about does it! I should get cleaned up before anyone gets ho-"

 

 

"Osomatsu-niisan?"

 

 

Said brother jumps right out of his skin and whips around to the sudden kitchen visitor. "Jyushimatsu!?" Why is he home? No one is home around this time!

"Didn't you say you were going to be playing baseball in the park today?" That should have at least taken the whole afternoon!

Jyushimatsu nods rapidly, "Mm hmm! But then my baseball bat broke midswing see!" he shows Osomatsu half of what was left of his bat, which wasn't much. "So I came home to grab my spare! How about you Osomatsu-niisan? Whatcha doin?"

 

Osomatsu was quick to step infront of the rollcake, but the fifth born simply stretched himself to look over his older brother's shoulder, his eyes sparkling at the sight. "J-Jyushimatsu! It's not what it looks like!"

 

"WAAH! Osomatsu-niisan were you the one who made all those yummy snacks for us??"

 

"No-- I mean-- I um, yeah I did..." he said sheepishly, his face starting to match the colour of his hoodie. "but don't tell the others okay Jyushimatsu?"

 

The yellow clad sibling tilted his head in confusion, placing one of his oversized sleeves on his mouth. "Why???"

 

"Just trust niichan on this okay? And," he adds still seeing some doubt in his younger brother's eyes. "and if you promise to keep it a secret for your big bro, you can request whatever snack I'll make tomorrow doesn't that sound like a great deal?"

 

If it was even possible Jyushimatsu smiled even wider than he already did, his eyes sparkling in excitement. He nods fast and hard enough that it seems like his head will fall right off his neck, and gives his older brother a squeeze "You promised okay Osomatsu-niisan? Don't break it!!"

 

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

 

The brothers are all sitting in comfortable silence around the living room table while eating the rollcake that Osomatsu had made for them. (Even though they didn't actually know he had made it, that is)

 

Jyushimatsu places his empty plate down, and gives the eldest brother a satisfied smile. "Thanks for the yummy cake Osomatsu-niisan! Can you make us cupcakes next?" 

 

Everyone simultaneously turns to Osomatsu in shock, while said brother smacks his forehead, his face starting to match the colour of his hoodie.

 

"Jyushimatsu..."

"Mom, is that you?"

 

"Well who else would it be dear?" She laughed, gesturing for her youngest to take some of the groceries from her.

 

"Did you just get home?" Todomatsu asked his mother voice full of confusion.

 

Their mother nods, slightly concerned at her youngest son's confused tone. "Why did you need something from me Todomatsu?"

 

Okay, something was definitely wrong, if their mother had been grocery shopping and only just got home now then-- "Who made the cake we just had then?"

 

"Cake? What cake...?" she paused, processing the information Todomatsu had given her, "Ah! Did he use the kitchen again?" Matsuyo said finally connecting the dots and started heading towards the kitchen, leaving a very confused Todomatsu at the entryway. "I hope he cleaned up this time!" 

 

"Eh? Chotto! Kaa-san!"

 

"Osomatsu!"

 

The eldest flinches from the living room, watching in fear as his mother enters the kitchen.

 

"Did you clean up the kitchen this time after you used it?"

 

"I-I did I promise!" He scrambles to get up, following after her because he had forgotten if he actually did clean up or not.

 

"You left the flour out again! And the sugar! You're going to attract mice in the house!" 

"A-Ah? Did I? Gomen gomen~ But look, see? I left you a slice!" Osomatsu says smiling sweetly and handing his mother a slice of the cheesecake he'd made.

 

Unfortunately the eldests' sweet smile, although cute, is ineffective to Matsuyo's motherly defense. She pats his shoulder and takes the cake from his hands, placing it on the counter "That's nice dear, but clean this up first okay?"

 

Osomatsu grumbles as he cleans up flour and sugar as he was asked. The sound of their mother scolding the eldest attracted the attention of Choromatsu, who walks in with Karamatsu right behind him. "Eh what's going on here mommy?"

 

Meanwhile Todomatsu, who had been watching the whole exchange between his mother and eldest brother in silent shock, finally goes "Wait. Wait hold on-- So you mean to tell me that Osomatsu-niisan had been the one making all those sweets for us everyday!?"

 

"That's right dear." She nods and turns to her eldest son, "Osomatsu you didn't tell your brothers that?"

 

"A-ah yeah..." Osomatsu says sheepishly, scratching the side of his blushing face. "I figured they wouldn't have eaten it if I told them I was the one who made it..." 

 

Jyushimatsu pops up from behind the second and third eldest brothers, bounding over to his eldest brother and giving him a hug. "YAY! That means I can tell people now, right Osomatsu-niisan??"

 

"Eh!? Jyushimatsu you knew?!" Choromatsu asked, shocked that the yellow brother was the first to know their eldest brother actually knew how to bake. What else did Osomatsu know that they didn't know about?

 

"Yup!" Jyushimatsu says, "I'm the one who requested the cheesecake today! AHA!"
