Clingy. Overbearing. Annoying.
The words had been spoken in a fit of anger, harsh and loud, but overall meaningless and facetious.
Unlike them, however, the apology that ensued was anything but. It was sincere, so why, why, couldnât you shake your newfound insecurities?
Despite the encouragement you received, you couldnât help but be hesitant to go back to normal. The last thing youâd wanted to do was start another argument about boundaries or a lack thereof, and your concerns translated into your actions.
He notices instantly. Nanami has always been attentive to your emotions, but heâs even more so after such a hurtful fight.
Understandably, heâs incredibly guilty at how his words affected you, but he doesnât blame you. Apologies are only the first step of many, after all.
âDarling? Iâm home!â You peered up from your book, a small smile on your face. âHey, love! I made dinner, itâs in the fridge.â
His smile softened. âEat with me?â You fiddled awkwardly with your fingers. âO-oh, I already ate, so Iâm going to finish this chapter real quick.â
His face fell, surprise and hurt clouding his eyes as he nodded slowly. âAlright then⌠Iâll be quick then.â You settled on a simple smile before looking back down at your book. Had you not been so quick to look back to your book, however, you wouldâve missed the way his eyes narrowed in contemplation.
Not much changed after that. You were withdrawn and non-responsive for the night, and Nanami only became more concerned as the hours trudged by. It was only when you headed to the bedroom by yourself that his emotions made an appearance.
To his surprise and disappointment, you had shut off the light and already looked to be asleep. The two of you had always made it a point to turn in together.
âYn, darling⌠whatâs going onâŚ?â You didnât know how to respond, so you settled for a noncommittal grunt, but it was instantly clear that your lover wasnât going to let it go. âYouâve been quite distant lately. Can we talk about it?âÂ
You hesitated before turning over to face him, but you still couldnât lift your gaze to his. He let out a short sigh before resting a gentle hand on your cheek. âYou can tell me anything youâre feeling, this is a safe space. Your comfort will always be my top priority,â Nanami promised.Â
You blew out a breath and sat up so that you could give him your full attention. âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to shut you out,â You began, squeezing the blondeâs hand. âDonât apologize,â Nanami interjected kindly. You flashed him a small smile before continuing.Â
âItâs just⌠I know you apologized and we already reconciled from our⌠fight, but I was worried that I might upset you again if I was clingy,â You admitted weakly. His face seemed to crumble at your words, but before you could take them back, his palm was cupping your cheek in a gentle grip.Â
âI said many things that I regret, my love, but apologizing was certainly not one of them. I spoke out of anger, but I didnât mean any of it, that I can promise. Your affection and love are the things that I look forward to most, especially after work,â He promised, leaning in to look you directly in the eyes.Â
Tears welled in your eyes, and you leaned into his hand, his words beginning to soothe the ache in your chest. Your relief was nearly palpable and Kento was quick to kiss the tears that fell, putting action behind his words, as he always did.Â
âCan we⌠stay up a little later?â You sniffled, resting your head in the crook of his neck. You felt the vibrations in his chest as he chuckled, the feeling comforting you. âWould you like me to hold you?â He offered, seeing right through your flimsy request.Â
âI guess I can let you since you claim to enjoy it so much,â You replied playfully. Kentoâs chuckle turned into a laugh as he pulled you down to lay beside him. âIt would be an honor, love,â He played along.Â
You made yourself comfortable on his chest and interlaced your hands, a soft sigh leaving you. âLove you, Kento,â You murmured, finally feeling at peace. A kiss was pressed to the top of your head and the âI love youâ he whispered was just loud enough to reach you as you felt yourself begin to drift off to sleep.
The hum of the tires on the highway had become monotonousâand you were bored out of your mind.
âAre we there yet?â you asked, allowing your head to lay against the window.
Kento raised an eyebrow, eyeing the stretch of green rolling past the windows. âNot entirely, no.â
âI thought this was supposed to be a getaway,â you muttered. âYou know, fun. Spontaneous.â
From the driverâs seat, Kento gave you a sidelong glance over his glasses.
âIt is a getaway,â he said with a slight chuckle. âWeâve been on the road for three hours, havenât run into a single curse, and the trafficâs been ideal. I fail to see what part of this isnât enjoyable.â
You huffed, folding your arms across your chest. âCan we at least put on some music? Iâm tired of listening to some guy rambling about greek philosophers.â
He sighed, âAs you wish but I did allow the auto drive for your comfort. Isnât that spontaneous enough?â
Your grin was slow. Dangerous. âSo youâre not technically driving right now?â
âNo. Iâm monitoringâwhy are you smiling like that?â
Your hand slowly creeped across the console until your hand found the inside of his thigh.
âY/n.â Kento said firmly, his expression unchanging. Kento rarely unraveled easily.
You ignored his voice, fingers sliding upward, teasing the seam of his trousers.
âIâd advise against your suggestive movements.â Kentoâs jaw tightened, his eyes still glued to the road.
âOh come on,â you purred. âIâm just making this trip a bit more interesting.â
âYou mean youâre doing something illegal while in a moving vehicle?â Kento asked coolly, though his hand twitched on the wheel. âBecause I can assure you, thatâs notââ
âIllegal? No.â Your hand was now palming the growing bulge. âInappropriate? Definitely.â
âNot in public,â he murmured, already losing some of the steel in his tone.
You leaned in, lips brushing his ear. âBut itâs not really public, is it? No one can see in. No cameras. And youâre not even driving.â
His jaw clenched. His pants tightened further beneath your hand. You unbuckled your seatbelt with a click and shifted yourself to get better access.
âYouâre insatiable,â he muttered, voice hoarse.
You grinned as your hand toyed with his zipper. As you tugged it down, Kento didnât resist or flinch as you pulled him free from his boxers. He was hard and already twitching in your hand. The contrast between his restraint and your shamelessness made heat curl in your belly.
You leaned down, pressing a kiss to the head of his cock, slow and teasing. He inhaled through his noseâsharplyâbut said nothing.
âEyes on the road, Nanami,â you teased, voice breathy.
He was already squirming in his seat, thighs tense, and his hands gripping onto the steering wheel for dear life.
Your mouth closed over him, slow and wet, taking him in inch by inch while the car hummed quietly around you. The thrill of the open road, the sun dipping low over the horizon, and the absolute obscenity of your position made you moan softly around him.
He hissed at the vibration. You took your time, teasing and pushing him to the edge.
âGod,â he murmured. âYouâre going to kill me.â
One of his hands found your hair, threading through gently at first but his grip tightened every time you took him all the way. Kento bit back his moans and simply grunted, still conscious of the fact that you were both in a moving vehicle.
You pulled back just enough to speak, lips slick, eyes bright with mischief. âI want you to come in me.â
Kento groaned lowly as his thighs trembled ever so slightly. You sat back up and took off your panties.
âY/n, please. Not here,â Kentoâs voice wavered, watching your every move.
You simply bit your lip, âRecline your seat for me.â
Kento hesitantly complied, completely entranced by the moment. You swung your leg over him and positioned your already wet center above his drooling tip.
Kento swallowed, almost shaking from anticipation and a bit of fear. You sank down onto him slowly, gasping at the stretch. Kentoâs hands settled on your hipsâfirm, but not demanding. Controlled. Like he was holding himself back.
He exhaled slowly through his nose, his brows drawn together as he watched you ride him. Not a single word left his lips.
âYouâre too quiet,â you whispered, leaning forward to kiss his neck. âDonât tell me youâre unaffected.â
âIâm not unaffected,â he replied, voice low and steady. âIâm trying not to lose control in a moving vehicle.â
You smiled against his skin, amused by the way he said it so calmlyâwhile his cock throbbed deep inside you, and his fingers tightened minutely every time you ground down just right.
âWhy fight it?â you murmured, starting to move in slow, deliberate rolls. âJust give in.â
He shook his head once, eyes flicking to the road as if that would save him. âYou have no patience.â
âAnd you have too much,â you teased, circling your hips again. âLet me wear you down.â
Kento didnât respondâbut his jaw clenched, and his grip on your waist grew firmer. He was still so maddeningly composed, even as you clenched around him, already slick and aching. You loved the way he held it all in and you loved breaking him down, piece by piece.
You reached between your bodies and stroked your clit, moaning softly as you bounced just a little harder, the wet sounds between you unmistakable now in the quiet car.
âYou feel so good,â you breathed. âI wanna make you come so badly.â
Kento drew in a deep, shaky breath. âYou need to stop talking like that.â
âWhy?â you asked sweetly, cupping his face so heâd look at you. âIs it turning you on?â
Kentoâs head tipped back against the seat with a dull thud, jaw tight, hands gripping your thighs like they were the only things tethering him to reality.
You leaned forward, your chest brushing his as you rode him harder now, chasing that perfect rhythm. His hands slid up your back slowly, then down again, finally resting just above your ass. Still not pulling you down, not guiding you. Just there.
âYouâre killing me,â he murmured, voice tight.
You kissed him thenâsoft, slow, and deepâand it was that kiss that finally cracked him. His hands grabbed your hips, grounding you as he began to thrust up into you, sharp and deliberate.
âKeep going,â he said quietly. âDonât stop.â
You moaned into his mouth, your hands braced on his chest, letting him take the reins now, letting him fuck up into you with control and focusâbut his breathing was starting to hitch, his rhythm faltering as you clenched and pulsed around him.
âGive it to meâ you whispered. âPlease.â
Kento groanedâbarelyâbut you felt it more than heard it, his whole body tensing as he came deep inside you. His arms locked around your waist, holding you close as he rode it out in silence, only the sound of his heavy breathing and the car engine filling the space.
You collapsed against him, breathless and flushed, heart pounding.
He pressed a kiss to your temple. âYouâre insane.â
You smirked. âAnd youâre impossible to break. But Iâll keep trying.â
Nanami Kento does not go out of his way to frighten children. It just happens.
There is something about the way he existsâtall, severe, measured in movement and speechâthat makes small creatures wary of him. Dogs hesitate before wagging their tails. Babies squirm when they sense his presence. And children, most unforgiving of all, take one look at him and decide he is someone to fear.
It is not something he does on purpose. It is not even something he particularly minds. But it is something he has noticed.
---
The first time it happens, he is twelve years old.
He is at a family gathering, the kind that drags on forever and smells like heavy food and too much perfume. His mother has given him a taskâkeep an eye on his cousinâs toddler while the adults talk.
He does not like children. He does not dislike them, either. They simply exist, in the way that birds and passing clouds doâpresent, but not worth much thought.
The child is small, unsteady on his feet, and when he sees Nanami, he immediately bursts into tears.
Nanami does not know what to do. He has not done anything. He has not spoken, has not moved. He has simply existed in the same space as this child, and yet, somehow, this is enough to warrant terror.
His mother scolds him later. "You should try being friendlier. Smile more."
Nanami tries. It does not help.
---
Years pass. He grows taller, sharper, more deliberate in his actions. He learns to choose his words carefully, to measure his tone, to move with the kind of efficiency that makes the world a little more tolerable.
But the pattern remains.
Children do not like him.
He is sixteen when he volunteers at a local library, mostly because it is quiet and does not demand much of him. One afternoon, a group of children comes in for story time. The librarian, a woman with a kind face and tired eyes, asks him to help.
Nanami sits down, book in hand. He does not make any sudden movements. He does not raise his voice. He simply reads.
Halfway through, a child starts crying.
The librarian pats Nanamiâs arm. âMaybe try sounding a little less... serious?â
He does not understand what she means. He is reading the words as they are written. He is being careful, thoughtful. Isnât that what people are supposed to want?
But when he looks at the childrenâsmall, fidgeting, casting wary glances at himâhe knows.
They do not like his voice.
They do not like his face.
They do not like him.
---
He does not try again for many years.
It does not come up often. His life is not the kind that requires interaction with children. His job is not safe, not kind, not something that should be seen by those who still have softness left in them.
But then there is a missionâa simple one, supposedlyâand he finds himself standing in a half-destroyed street, staring down at a child no older than six.
She has lost her parents.
She is shaking.
And when she looks up at him, all wide eyes and trembling hands, she does not cry.
Nanami does not know what to do with this.
He kneels, slow and careful. âYou are not hurt?â
She shakes her head.
She is too quiet. Too still. He recognizes thisâshock, fear held too tightly, the kind that makes people collapse hours later when their bodies finally catch up to their minds.
So he does something he has not done in years.
He smiles.
It is small, just the barest movement of his lips, meant to reassure, to make him seem less imposing. It is an effort. It is, he thinks, something that might be kind.
The childâs face crumples.
She bursts into tears.
---
Later, Gojo laughs so hard he nearly falls out of his chair.
âYou made her cry by smiling?â he wheezes, wiping at his eyes. âMan, I knew you were scary, but damn.â
Nanami sighs. He regrets telling him.
âMaybe it was a bad smile,â Gojo continues. âLike, creepy. Serial killer vibes.â
Nanami does not dignify this with a response.
But later, when he stands in front of a mirror, he tries again.
He does not smile often. He never saw the point. But now, looking at his own reflection, he studies the way his face shifts, the way his expression pulls at the edges.
Does it look unnatural?
Does it look forced?
He does not know.
He does not try again.
---
Years later, when he is older, when the weight of his own choices sits heavier in his bones, he finds himself in the presence of another child.
This time, he does not smile.
This time, he simply crouches, keeps his voice steady, his movements slow, and waits.
The child does not cry.
Nanami exhales.
(It is enough.)

Greetings, Dreamers and Readers â¨đ¸
You know, I think I might be Nanami. Or at least, I deeply relate to his struggle with children. I donât know if itâs a lack of patience or just the sheer confusion of what am I supposed to do with this tiny, unpredictable human? But yeah, I struggle.
Case in point: My maternal aunt once asked me to watch over my toddler cousin, Riya, during a family gathering while she cooked. Simple, right? Shouldâve been easy. Except, the moment my presence registered, she started crying. And I mean, really crying. And what did I do? Nothing. I just stood there, because what do you even do in that situation? Pat her head? Start singing? Apologize for existing?
Anyway, that incident stayed with me, and when I wrote this, I couldnât help but channel some of that energy into Nanami. The man just exists and children find him terrifying. I get it.
---
So yeah, let me knowâdo kids like you? Or are you, like me (and Nanami), just out here unintentionally scaring them with your mere presence? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and letâs collectively figure out how to interact with tiny humans.
⨠Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day â¨
Nanami Kento thought he understood what freedom was.
It wasnât some grand concept, not to him. It wasnât rebellion or escape or even peace. It was something quieter, simpler. It was the absence of exhaustion, the absence of endless blood and death. It was the choice to walk away from a world that took and took and took until there was nothing left.
So when he saw his first office job, he thoughtâmaybe this is it.
Maybe this is what it looks like.
No more curses. No more blood. No more endless nights wondering if tomorrow would be his last. Just a desk, a paycheck, and a life that belonged only to him.
It seemed Clean. Orderly. Safe.
He was wrong, of course.
But at the time, it was the only thing that made sense.
-----
He never had the illusion that he was a hero.
Gojo could talk about justice, about duty, about responsibility, but Nanami? Nanami knew better. He knew that none of it mattered, that the work they did wasnât noble or righteous. It was just survival. Just a job that needed to be done.
And he hated it. He hated the way it made him feel, the way it carved pieces out of him. He hated the way his hands never felt clean, no matter how many times he washed them.
But the most of all, he hated was how it was all expected.
How no one ever really questioned it.
How this was just the way things were.
So when he looked at that first office building, at the neatly pressed suits and the fluorescent lights and the steady, predictable rhythm of it allâhe thought, This is freedom.
Because wasnât that what freedom was? The ability to walk away? The ability to choose something else?
He thought so.
For a while, he really did.
-----
The thing they donât tell you about freedom is that itâs not the same as peace.
The office was quiet, yes. Predictable, yes. But it was also empty.
There was no blood, no curses, no constant fight for survival. But there was also no meaning. No purpose. Just an endless series of reports and meetings and numbers that meant nothing.
And at first, he told himself that was fine. That this was better. That this was what he chose.
But some nights, heâd wake up gasping, hands clenched, body tense, as if expecting a fight that never came.
Some nights, heâd find himself staring at his reflection in the office bathroom mirror, wondering why he felt like a ghost in his own life.
Some nights, heâd wonder if he had made a mistake.
-----
The day he walked away from the office was quiet.
No dramatic goodbyes. No second thoughts. Just the simple realization that this wasnât freedom either. That maybe freedom didnât exist at all.
But if he had to chooseâbetween an empty life and a painful oneâheâd at least choose something that meant something.
And so, he went back.
Back to the blood, the exhaustion, the endless cycle of fighting for a world that would never change.
Because maybe it didnât matter what he wanted.
Maybe it never did.
-----
Nanami Kento never believed in freedom. Not really.
But when he died, he thoughtâat least I chose this.

Greetings, Dreamers and Readers â¨đ¸
My sweet, sad bbg Kento⌠I love him so much it actually makes me angry. Like, imagine being Nanami Kento. You do everything right. You work hard. You try to be practical. You just want a simple, decent life. And what does the world give you in return? Absolutely nothing. No peace, no freedom, not even the illusion of rest. He carried all that weight, all that exhaustion, and for what? For a world that chewed him up and spat him out like he was nothing.
To the people who hate Nanami⌠meet me in the parking lot. We gotta fight. Right now.
Honestly, Iâll probably write an AU one-shot where he actually gets to retire in Malaysia, eating all the good food his heart desires, because he deserves that. I donât care what canon says. My man should have been sipping on some tropical drink, watching the sunset, alive.
---
Anyway, hope you liked the one-shot! Feel free to comment and share your thoughtsâIâd love for some Nanami worshipers to come together and mourn this man properly.
⨠Bye and take care, Hope you all have a good day â¨
Nanami doesnât believe in doing things halfway. Not work, not fights, and certainly not meals.
----
Itâs something you notice early on, the way he approaches cooking with the same quiet precision he applies to everything else. No shortcuts, no half-hearted attempts. Just careful, deliberate movementsâmeasuring, chopping, stirring, tasting. He doesnât rush anything, and thereâs something almost meditative about the way he works. Like cooking is one of the few things in this world that make sense.
And yet, every time he sets down a plate in front of you, he shrugs it off with a casual, âItâs nothing special.â
Which is, frankly, insane.
Because Nanamiâs cooking isnât just goodâitâs absurdly, unfairly good. The kind of good that makes you reconsider every meal youâve ever had before. Itâs balanced and flavorful and just indulgent enough to make you wonder if he missed his true calling.
He didnât, of course. Because as much as you hate to admit it, he is a good sorcerer.-Even if youâd much rather see him somewhere else, somewhere safer. Somewhere with a kitchen instead of a battlefield.
-----
âYou know, most people donât just whip up a three-course meal on a random weeknight,â you tell him once, staring down at the plate heâs just set in front of you. âThis is not ânothing special.ââ
Nanami exhales through his nose, unamused. âItâs just a simple meal.â
âNanami, thereâs saffron in this.â
He barely reacts. âI had some left over.â
âOf course you did."
Itâs a pattern, this quiet form of care he offers. He doesnât say much about it, doesnât expect praise or gratitude. But you see it in the way he portions out the food, always making sure your plate is full before serving himself. In the way he adjusts the spice level just enough to match your tastes. In the way he always, always makes sure thereâs something comforting on the table after a particularly rough day.
You donât always call him out on it. Sometimes, you just let it happenâthis wordless, steady kind of love that he insists isnât anything grand.
-----
But one night, after a long, exhausting day, you sit down at the table, take one bite of his cooking, and blurt out, âI think you love me more than I love you.â
Nanami pauses, chopsticks halfway to his mouth. Raises a brow.
You gesture at the food. âThis is ridiculous. This is devotion. And Iâwhat? I just show up? I sit here and receive all this?â You shake your head, overwhelmed. âItâs embarrassing, honestly. I need to step up my game.â
For a second, he just looks at you, unreadable as ever. Then, very quietly, he says, âYou do more than you realize.â
And maybe itâs the exhaustion talking, or maybe itâs just the way he says itâcalm, certain, like an undeniable factâbut you find yourself falling silent. Because when Nanami says something like that, you believe him.
The rest of the meal is quiet. Easy. And when you finish, setting your chopsticks down with a sigh, Nanami gives you a look and says, âSo? How was it?â
You meet his eyes, dead serious. âNothing special.â
The corner of his mouth twitches, just barely. But he doesnât argue.
He just gets up, takes your plate, and starts cleaning up.

You know, Iâve been thinkingâmaybe cooking is a love language. My younger Bhai (cousin brother), for example, is an absolute menace most of the time (as younger siblings tend to be lol)
But when heâs in the kitchen, he always makes something for me too. Not in an overly sweet, âlook how much I careâ kind of wayâmore like a casual, âI was already making food, so here, take thisâ way. No big declarations, no dramatic gestures, just... an unspoken understanding.
Which, honestly, is kind of unfair. Because while I can barely cook to save my life, this little brat could probably become a chef if he wanted to. đâ
Meanwhile, I struggle to flip a half fry egg without cracking its yolk. Life is cruel like that. đż
But anywayâmaybe food is one of those quiet ways people show love. No grand speeches, no poetic confessionsâjust a plate of something warm, made with care, set in front of you without a word. Feels very Nanami-coded, doesnât it? lol
---
What about you guys? Do you express love through cooking? Or does someone do that for you? Let me knowâIâd love to hear your stories! đ
