Ah, you've gamed it through. Pretend I haven't said anything.
[ he'd better not collapse and die from overexertion. they have summer plans now and as fun as Yuji's texts have been, Nanami hopes they won't remain their main form of interaction. ]
That's nonsense. Getting a degree isn't easy for anyone, no matter what they claim. Even Gojo-san had weekly mini breakdowns despite his big brain.
Aha, really? I'm definitely telling Fushiguro about that.
[ Now that they've eaten, now that they've had something to drink, Yuji is wiggling carefully, trying to make his way closer to Nanami's side. It's as if they're drawn together, and he can't resist for even a moment. He just... Want to spend more time with him. To be around him.
The offer to come to his house is more appealing, but he doesn't want Nanami to think that's all he's interested in. He wants to touch him, sure, but he wants to date him more. ]
I'll be done in no time, and then I can take it easy for a few weeks.
[ the final course was a slice of crown melon with a scoop of soy ice cream - so delicate and refreshing in taste that even Nanami who doesn't much care for sweet things finished his plate.
the subtle attempt at getting closer doesn't go unnoticed. ]
[ Yuji can't help the small smile that spreads across his face, the way that he's as close to Nanami as he dares to get without half climbing into his lap. The temptation to lean in and kiss him is overwhelming, but this is only a first date. He can be patient.
They'll have time... Nanami wants to see him in summer. That means something to him. ]
I just want to see more of Nanamin-san's happy face. That's all.
[ lesser men would take advantage of the private dining room they've got, but not these two. Nanami is sober enough to know better and Yuji is a Good Boy. besides, Nanami doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for poor Ijichi.
but. that doesn't mean he can't play a little. leaning in, lips almost brushing against Yuji's ear, he teases: ]
[ Nanami is so handsome it’s breathtaking, and Yuji doesn’t know what he did to earn this. He doesn’t know how he could’ve attracted this man’s attention, but he doesn’t want to lose it. He wants to know him more; he wants to know everything about him.
Selfishly… He wants Nanami in his life. He wants to give him so much joy, even when he gets embarrassed like this. It’s making him wiggle in his seat, eyes wide. ]
I… If Nanamin-san was my dessert… I wouldn’t hate it.
[ over the years Nanami has got used to people being interested in him. it comes with the work, the money, the close association with Gojo. but in all these years he's never met anyone with such a deep interest in him personally. he's never met anyone like Itadori Yuji before.
the attraction is pretty obvious and it's so very flattering. Nanami is as curious about Yuji as Yuji is him. not just a pretty face, no, a pleasant personality too. ]
You're sweet.
[ it makes him feel a little bit guilty for teasing Yuji. still he can't resist brushing the back of his fingers against Yuji's cheek. there was talk of a kiss by the end of the evening when Yuji was being a flirty flirt machine.
but the evening isn't over yet, and sometimes Nanami enjoys the anticipation just as much. ]
[ Yuji is embarrassed, flustered a little, his heart racing in his chest. While his affection for Nanami might be in earnest, completely honest, he's also never done anything like this before. He's never dated, never kissed anyone in earnest, never spent too many evenings with someone else, and he really wants this to go well. He wants this to last a long time.
Not for the reputation, or the money, or the prestige, or anything like that, but simply because he likes Nanami.
Leaning back, he breathes out softly, licking his lips. ]
... Yeah, okay. Thank you for the meal, Nanamin-san. It was amazing.
[ Cheeks flushed, completely red, Yuji offers a touch of a bow. ]
[ sweet, adorable, cute, and variations thereof. it's something else. something intriguing, possibly exciting. Nanami has his fair share of encounters romantic and not so romantic, but someone like Yuji is a new experience for him too.
it could have gone horribly after Nanami's confession that he assumed Yuji could be a mini gold-digger, but here they are. cute little tomato face and him. ]
Don't be so formal, you'll make me feel lonely. But I'm glad you liked it.
[ and he takes Yuji's hand as if it's the most natural thing in the world. is it too familiar, too soon? who cares about those invented rules anyway? once outside Nanami doesn't let go as they head towards the car park.]
[ The taste of a good meal on his tongue, a full belly, Nanami’s hand in his own as they walk together… Yuji can’t think of a time where he’d been this happy. Maybe when he’d got his acceptable into university, had been given his scholarship, but that was different. That was something he had to do, whereas this was something he wanted to do.
He wanted to give his time to Nanami. As much as he could. He wanted to prove to the other man that he liked him, not his job or his car or his money.
His wide build, handsome eyes, the way he smile, the soft and deep echo of his laughter. It was all good. ]
Me? It was about twenty minutes on the subway, so it’s not a big deal.
[ get home? not particularly, at least not tonight. never letting go of Yuji's hand, he pulls out his phone and orders a cab. is it embarrassing? not really. it's more funny than anything else. ]
I wouldn't be able to sleep, knowing you're on the train with perverts.
[ It's kind of cute, the determination Nanamin has to hold onto his hand, and Yuji allows it. He even wiggles his fingers a little so he can slot them between the other man's with a bright smile. ]
You remember how strong I am, don't you? I could totally handle myself.
[ But if this means he gets to spend a little more time with Nanami... ]
[ it's a ridiculous notion and he's aware of it, but Nanami doesn't want the evening to end yet, either. he's enjoyed himself far more than he has on any date he can recall. perhaps because this hasn't felt like going through the motions just to reach a certain outcome which is always linked to a sense of disappointment. not tonight, though.
if he could, he'd enjoy talking the night away with Yuji like in some European 90s romantic movie. imagine that. ]
[ It’s not as if he’s some kind of cute high school girl that those sorts of creepy perverts would want to mess around with… But if it makes Nanami happy then sure, whatever he wants. Yuji is of the mind to give into him time and time again, truly.
They’re getting along so well. It’s been a good first date.
Smiling up at the other man, he nods. ]
Me too. I don’t think I’ve ever had fun like this before.
