#Karamatsu wears skinny jeans of course

Back on my Osomatsu bullshit
The stage play is fucking insane, it's got some key things that I really love, for instance the sextuplets all wearing different kinds of jeans? Nice touch, like actual perfection.
And whatever this scene is? It's peak Karamatsu

Karamatsu happens upon a lost girl
The city was thriving. A bustling mass of people heading off in different directions, everyone walking so quickly, no one paying much attention to anyone around them.
Well except for Karamatsu. He was paying attention. He liked to people watch. Seeing the mannerism of strangers fascinated him. A woman clicking her high heels as she frowned and walked with her head held high. A college kid with bags under their eyes, slouching as they held onto a cup of coffee like a lifeline. A businessman who pulled out his phone, his eyes growing wide and his speed increased. All these little stories were playing out in front of him.
Another story was unfolding before him. A young woman who appeared to be about his age was wandering around the street before him. She looked like a foreigner, blonde hair tied back, freckles across her pale skin, and eyes blue with a tint of green. She was wearing clothes suited for the autumn chill, a knit gray sweater with black boots pulled over her black skinny jeans. She was holding her phone in front of her, biting her lip as her eyes darted from the screen to the nearest street sign. With her eyebrows furrowed, she took a few steps back, looking at her phone again. Then she stopped dead, her eyes shining with the beginning of tears as she looked around herself desperately.
Ah! She needed assistance, did she not? Karamatsu pulled away from the wall he had been leaning against and approached the girl. “My flower, are you lost?”
She looked up like she could hardly believe that someone was speaking to her, “Me?”
“Yes, I noticed you looking around, directionless. Perhaps I may aid you?” At least she seemed to understand Japanese. His English skills amounted to a lot of one or two word phrases and little else.
“Oh?” She looked at the screen of her phone, frowning again. “I can't find the train station.”
“I will bring you there!” Karamatsu declared.
The girl shook her head. “Oh no, you don't have to do that. You can just give me directions, it's fine.”
Well it wasn't fine for Karamatsu! What if she became lost again? Actually, where were they right now? Karamatsu looked around himself. He didn't recognize any of the buildings in this area. That was strange. Had he wandered here in a daze and become lost himself? Well he knew the area better than this girl might, so he would do his best to assist her. “I'm not sure of the exact location, but I can help guide you.”
“Err, well.” The girl shuffled her feet, not meeting eyes with Karamatsu. “I… well, thank you for your help.” She bowed towards him. “I'm not very good with directions.” She stood up, placing a hand behind her head as she laughed.
“That's okay. The streets of the city can be confusing! A maze, a labyrinth, twisting turning paths! But with me leading the way, I'm sure we can arrive at your destination!” Karamatsu flicked the fringe of his hair with one hand, his eyes sparkling with determination.
“Well, okay. If you can help.” The girl looked like she was holding back laughter. Obviously his devilish good looks and amazing speech patterns were bringing her that much joy.
“Of course!” Karamatsu looked around himself, trying to decide which way to go. Well if nothing looked familiar, did it matter? He was sure that he would find a train station eventually no matter which way they went! Surely. Karamatsu did a spin and pointed in the direction he stopped. “This way!”
“Alright.” The girl hid her mouth with a hand as a few giggles escaped.
And so they were off on an adventure! To the train station. Karamatsu turned back, making conversation with the girl, “I am Matsuno Karamatsu!”
“Oh, pleased to meet you, Matsuno-san.” The girl scrunched up her face for a moment. “Well, you can call me, um, Rin.”
“The pleasure is all mine, Rin-san!” What a dignified name! “Where are you taking the train to? Some place exciting?”
“Well.” Rin smiled sheepishly. “I guess you could say that.”
The two unlikely companions walked down the busy streets. It almost felt like the streets were becoming narrower the more they walked. Karamatsu did not recognize this place at all. The buildings felt too tall, reaching high into the sky and disappearing into the clouds. It was a claustrophobic sensation, the buildings looming in on them like dark shadows.
Maybe they should try a different way. Karamatsu spun around again, the best way for deciding which way to go, and tried a different direction. The buildings this way were more colorful, neon lights shining in store fronts. This didn't look familiar either. Where were they?
It felt like no matter how much they moved, they made no progress towards finding a train station. Karamatsu was contemplating asking for directions himself, when out of nowhere, they arrived at a small train platform.
Hmm. That was strange. Well they had made it! Just as they climbed onto the platform, a train rolled up before them. That was convenient! Karamatsu looked to see where it was headed, but couldn't make it out.
“Oh, this is my train!” Rin bowed to Karamatsu as the doors opened to the train. No one looked to be departing at this particular stop. “Thank you for your help, Matsuno-san.”
“It was nothing. Have a safe trip, Rin-san.” Karamatsu waved as she crossed over the white line and into the waiting train. She waved back before disappearing from view.
It had been a fun trip, escorting the young lady. Karamatsu wondered if he could find his way home from here now. He looked at the train. The doors were closing slowly before him.
Without much thought, he sprinted forward, entering the train just as the doors shut behind him. Ah, what was he doing?
Well he was already lost, maybe getting even more lost would be fun.
