When he had met Nanami at the party, he hadn't expected to ever see him again; he'd been prepared to simply mourn their passing acquaintance with one another and move on with his life, until he'd wandered into the coffee shop and Yuji had desperately offered his number. Now that they've actually been texting one another, all he can think about is how excited he is to see the older man, despite the fact that it's probably embarrassing.
He wants to keep himself under wraps, wants to calm himself down, to try and be as collected as possible, but it's hard when he's so excited. Nanami hadn't rejected his outright flirting, hadn't asked him to tone it down, had asked him out on what feels like a date... So he's allowed to be excited about it, isn't he? He's allowed to want to throw himself into it all, to let himself hope for the best.
Maybe Nanami does want to date him. Maybe they'll share a kiss at the end of the night, maybe... Maybe dreams can come true.
When the older man had sent him the pin he had been quick to find Kugisaki and Fushiguro and ask them for help for what to wear, so when he arrives there - just on time, thanks to public transport - he's a little more dressed up than he might have been otherwise. It's not as formal as Gojo-san's party had been, but he doesn't look like a scruffy college kid. He looks nice, even Kugisaki had said so.
Hovering at the entrance, he pauses a little, wondering if he's allowed to just... Go in and ask for Nanami Kento, or if he should be waiting outside? He didn't ask, and this place looks a little nice, so...
Instead, he grabs his phone and texts Nanami: I'm here! ]
[ offering the phone number had been a bold move even if it didn't go exactly as planned. but it wasn't just the boldness that caught his interest; the chat he had with Fushiguro's pretty friend had been unexpected and refreshing at Gojo's party. things like that stay on the mind. perhaps not consciously but Itadori had clearly made an impression.
so, yes. he's looking forward to seeing the 'flirt machine' in the flesh.
is it a date? yes, he'd say, it is a date. the exact nature of it has yet to be determined. while Itadori Yuji doesn't strike him as the pragmatic and calculating type, Nanami wouldn't hold it against him if there were an angle to this. it'd be common sense.
his assistant drops him off a few moments after Yuji reaches the restaurant, allowing Nanami to come up behind him, with a casual: ]
So am I. Let's head inside.
[ they're show to a private dining room, furbished with tatami and horigotatsu. Nanami lets Itadori sit on the side with a view of the large window and the tranquil little garden outside. ]
This isn't the place I had in mind originally but it's not bad. They only serve set menus, though. I hope that's alright with you.
[ Yuji doesn't quite jump when he hears Nanami come up behind him, but it's a close thing, turning his head to look at the other man. It's good that he wasn't late, and he's about to say something along those lines when his eyes widen, taking in the figure that Nanami cuts with the flickering street lights behind him.
Nanami is handsome. He's still so tall, which Yuji had forgotten since their meeting in the coffee shop, and the cut of his outfit makes him look incredible. He feels a little underdressed himself, but it's not as if he owns that many formal outfits, and Nanami doesn't seem to mind all that much...
He intended to flirt or something, didn't he? His voice is caught in his throat before he shakes his head and forces himself to focus. Yuji's on a date with this guy? Damn. ]
Yeah! It's good to see you again, Nanamin. I missed you.
[ Is it too early to admit that? They've only had a handful of conversations, but... It's true all the same. They've been texting a bunch, but it's not the same as being together in person...
Following, he settles down into the private space, and for a moment he feels a prickle of anxiety. Remembering just how rich this guy is hits him, and he thinks about his own bank balance, his own youth and feels weirdly... Out of place. Should he be here, actually?
Forcing himself to stare out at the view, he smiles a little, eyes slowly moving back to the man opposite him. ]
That's fine with me! I don't think I've ever been somewhere with a view like this, it's so cool!
[ Still, they're kind of far apart... Wiggling over, Yuji gets as close to Nanami as he dares to get. ]
[ Yuji gets a raised eyebrow and an amused huff of breath at the 'I missed you'. The funny thing is Nanami believes him, believes that even though they've only just met Yuji's expressing a genuine sentiment. It's... charming? Flattering? It's certainly something that Nanami doesn't encounter very often.
Lifting his gaze from the drinks menu, he glances at the view himself as if to confirm that it's as remarkable as the young man thinks. He doesn't often come to these places for leisure so most of the details are noticed only in passing. ]
Hm, you look nicer. I like the outfit.
[ And with that his gaze drops again, scanning the menu for something suitable for both of them to drink. ]
My week was surprisingly unremarkable, your clever ploy excepted, of course. I guess everything else felt boring in comparison. How was yours?
[ It's hard to reign in his excitement and genuine eagerness to spend more time with Nanami as he settles down, trying to keep himself under wraps. He doesn't want to annoy this man, to irritate him, to make him feel as though he should be spending less time with Yuji rather than more - because he wants more of this, he really does. He wants to go on more dates already, keen to slide his mouth over Nanami's, to engage in as much as he can -
and, yeah, okay, maybe he is a little bit needy. A little bit desperate. He forces himself to take a deep breath in and out before he sits at the table properly, politely, as he was taught. ]
You do? Thanks! I really worked hard to pick something you'd like.
[ Too eager? Maybe? But Nanami seems to appreciate it when he is honest, so... ]
It was fine. I worked an extra shift, so I was a bit tired halfway through, but getting to here made it all worth it!
[ Nanami doesn't mind eager, not when it's paired with the kind of honesty that Yuji seems to live and breathe. he's so used to the superficial, the hypocritical, the importance of appearances, that Yuji (as cliched as it may sound) is like a fresh breath of air.
the question of what the young man really wants lingers at the back of Nanami's mind but that can wait until later. ]
An extra shift? Did someone call in sick?
[ if memory serves right, the young man's schedule is pretty packed already. piling an extra shift on top sounds like an unnecessary strain. ]
[ Waving a hand, Yuji hums absently, turning to give Nanami a bright smile. ]
No, the manager asked if I could do one since I wanted a bit of overtime, so I picked it up. I'd already done my homework for the week, so it was no big deal.
[ Plus, if he was going out with Nanami he wanted to be able to make sure he could at least pay some of his way... He's sure Nanami could handle it, but he feels guilty at the idea of just accepting something like this without at least trying to help. ]
[ the waiter returns and takes their order kneeling on the tatami. Nanami chooses the set that has meat as one course for the variety, declines the wine service. instead he opts for osmanthus tea and a selection of juices and soft drinks. ]
You're one of those who can't keep still too long, are you?
[ it would never occur to him to make Itadori pay for any of this, especially not when it's been his idea to come to a place like this. perhaps he should have made it clear when they talked about this... ]
But that's not a bad thing. Keeping busy, staying in motion. It keeps the mind sharp.
[ Yuji only barely glanced at the menu, too distracted by looking at Nanami, so he just ends up ordering similarly to the other man, though the range of drinks does make him curious. Isn't Nanamin going to drink? He did ask, after all, and it's not as if Yuji would mind other than the taste...
But he won't be tasting it, unless it's indirectly through a kiss -
Cheeks heating up, blushing bright red, Yuji takes a deep breath to calm down. ]
A little bit! It makes studying a little harder, but I'm determined to graduate on time, and Fushiguro has been helping with our shared classes.
[ while he likes his alcohol, he prefers to drink with people, and since Yuji doesn't like alcohol, the drinks choice isn't so surprising, no? something happens to the young man that has him go cherry red which isn't a bad look exactly but still makes a man wonder.
the drinks arrive, distracting Nanami briefly, and then the spotlight is back on him and the boring things he does for a living. ]
Sometimes more, sometimes less. That's a terrible answer, I know, but it's true. In the beginning it was less predictable and hence crazier. Now it's evened out, though, and it helps that I'm less beholden to other people's whims and fancies.
[ he pours them each a cup of tea, enjoying the fragrant smell emanating from the oolong and flower blend. ]
I reckon you're busier than me, though. How long until you graduate?
[ If Nanami knew the kinds of things that Yuji thought about him, he'd definitely laugh at him, Yuji thinks. It's so... Simple. The idea of kissing this man, of settling in his lap, of reaching out for him and being allowed to embrace him - that feels like too much to ask for. Too good, too desperate, not when they've only just met.
Instead, he reaches out to take one of the juices for himself, clasping it in his hands as he watches the other man speak. He might think his life is boring, but for Yuji... It means he's talking, so it's good. ]
You are? You sound like you're pretty high up and important, Nanamin. That's cool.
[ he makes a small 'ugh' sound and waves his hand at the compliment. Nanami really doesn't think very highly of his job, which according to him is just playing with rich people's money to make more money.
at least, at least most of it goes into the foundation these days, and some of it into his private retirement fund (which is big enough that he could retire several times over...) so he bears it with some grace even when Gojo teases him about being a filthy, filthy capitalist. ]
That's not too bad.
[ still a bit of a stretch to go especially with the kind of schedule Yuji's described to him, but manageable when you have the kind of energy this young man has. ]
Do you get time off between semesters? I know Fushiguro wanted to spend some time at an onsen in Kusatsu. Are you going together?
[ To Yuji, it's an impressive career - one he really doesn't know that much about. He's learned a little from Fushiguro talking about what Gojo-san gets up to, and the basics of it seems to be 'they get super rich and then retire', or something. But he thinks Gojo-san came from money anyway, so he just got even more rich... It must be nice?
Either way, he's glad. It means Fushiguro is taken care of, and he's happy that his friend has a guardian who cares enough about him to ensure that he's looked after. It's good, and he feels no jealousy whatsoever, since he doesn't mind working for what little he has. ]
Yeah, I've been trying to do as many classes as I can between work and resting to stay on track.
[ While also continuing to do the track and field events the university demands of him thanks to his scholarship. ]
I have a bit of time in the summer, but I probably won't be able to go. I have to work and I don't have a lot in savings right now, so a holiday is out of the question.
[ there is something infinitely interesting about Itadori Yuji. the utter lack of affectation and filters isn't something Nanami encounters very often anymore. the Fushiguro boy has the same insolent streak as Gojo, but even those two have their own selection of masks they rotate through whenever the step out of the safety of their homes.
the first course is served: a couple of braised baby squid on seaweed salad, half an abalone covered in a dash of light shoyu. ]
Summer is summer. A special kind of hell no matter where you are if you ask me. Do you have a place you'd like to go on holiday if you didn't have prior engagements?
[ Yuji takes action almost without thinking, preparing a plate of food for Nanami and passing it over. He's not conscious of doing it, or trying to make a special spectacle out of it - it's what he used to do for his grandpa, still does for Fushiguro sometimes.
It's a sign of affection, that he wants to make them happy first and foremost. ]
If I could go wherever I wanted...
[ Yuji pauses in getting his own food, thoughtful. ]
I guess a beach might be nice? Or going to a big city where I could take lots of photos.
[ oh, that is entirely too sweet and charming. Nanami looks amused when he accepts the plate, a little enchanted by the small gesture of affection and how naturally it unfolds.
it could so easily tip into an unfavourable direction but right now it's pleasant and almost cosy. ]
Here in Japan or overseas?
[ there are many places in Japan that can offer both big city and beach, but there's a certain appeal to going to another country. Nanami doesn't travel for leisure as much as he would like to. but sometimes he likes to pull up a map and just look at places that might be nice to see. ]
If I sound too much like the Spanish Inquisition, feel free to stop me. [ a pause, a twitch at the corner of his lips. ] If you dare stop an inquisitor, that is.
It doesn't bother me. Isn't the point of a first date to get to know one another?
[ No one has really cared to ask that many questions before now, so Yuji accepts it. If Nanami wants to quiz him on his thoughts and goals, then let him. He can survive something as simple as a question and answer session.
Tapping his chopsticks on his mouth, he considers. ]
Japan would be nice, since that would be easiest. Some of my classmates have said they like going to America, or somewhere else in Asia, where the beaches are all soft sand.
[ Nanami laughs a little at the directness. this has all the markings of a first date, of course, but he wouldn't have called it that, not so directly. young people these days...]
There are nice beaches here too. There's one near Osaka - you'd have a two-in-one if you went there. And Okinawa has beautiful beaches too.
[ he's been there once, a long time ago. back when they were all still young and beautiful little shitheads with not enough common sense. but they had fun together and it's still one of his favourite memories even if they've lost two dear friends along the way. ]
I'd like to see more of Asia myself. It's right at the front door so to speak and yet so overlooked.
[ No one's ever asked him out before! He's doing his best, but he's not sure whether he's behaving in a way someone's supposed to. Are you meant to act shy, and coy, and play like you're not super interested? That seems like a waste of time.
He wants Nanami to know he's into him, just in case he gets the wrong idea. Older men must like directness, right? ]
Osaka would be cool! Maybe I should make a bucket list or something like that to keep track.
[ Yuji pauses, considering. Where else would he like to go? He's not sure, but... He'd like to go places with Nanami, that's for sure. ]
You should take time off and do it. It must be so exciting to go on holiday like that.
[ exciting is for young people. that or a similar tease dances at the tip of his tongue when his brain latches on something else. putting down his chopsticks, he takes a sip of tea, gaze never leaving Yuji. ]
What do you mean by 'first one'? This date?
[ it seems utterly unfathomable to Nanami that Yuji's never gone on a date before. never mind that it's been a while since Nanami has gone on a real date, that's not the point right now. ]
[ Yuji pauses as well, tilting his head to look over at Nanami. He hadn't really thought too hard about it, but... Is that bad? Is there something wrong with it? Maybe he's a little inexperienced, but...
[ this may be the least eloquent Nanami Kento has been in years. even Gojo doesn't catch him by surprise like this anymore and Gojo is so very creative.
is this bad? would he have acted differently if he'd known?
[ Yuji points at himself before he laughs, shaking his head. ]
No way! No one's ever confessed to me before, not even in high school!
[ And he's too busy now to even entertain it with most people; all of his friends at school know his life revolves around school work and earning money to survive on. There's little point asking him out.
Unless you're someone like Nanami, who he can't let escape. ]
[ Nanami finishes the last little squid on his plate and washes it down with more tea. now this has taken a completely unexpected turn, hasn't it? how exciting. he lets a out a sigh. ]
Ah, this is not good. I thought you were a clever little flirt machine that just charms people left and right wherever he goes.
[ not to mention Nanami's assumption there may be an ulterior motive at play here. but that seems entirely unlikely now. a small head shake. ]
Now, I have to make an effort and behave since it's your first. I can't believe you're doing this to me.
[ Why does he feel like this is either really good or really bad? Yuji can't grasp it, but he does give Nanami a sheepish little smile, nibbling on his food absently. Ah... ]
No way! I'm not that kind of person at all! I'm only flirting with Nanamin like this because I like him so much.
[ Woah, embarrassing... Covering his mouth, he shakes his head. ]
I just want you to be yourself. I don't need anything more special than that.
sugar daddy verse. first date. @tokakujuho
