I want to pinch his cheeks...

[ 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 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?

[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[ 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?

[ 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?

[ 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?
tokakujuho: (94)

[personal profile] tokakujuho 2024-04-03 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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.
tokakujuho: (bwuh?)

[personal profile] tokakujuho 2024-04-03 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose.

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

You're joking, right?
tokakujuho: (60)

[personal profile] tokakujuho 2024-04-04 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[ 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?

most likely not. ]


Sorry, it's just. You seem like the popular type.

[ or perhaps Yuji is just Nanami's type. ]

[ 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.
