Boyfriend!Kento Nanami who happily wears a ring with your initial on it.
And it wasn’t you who bought it for him.
It was himself.
On his solo trip to the mall to buy you a gift—just because he felt like it—he saw the front display of a chic jewellery shop, displaying their glimmering trinkets on velvety red cushions.
And there he saw the ring.
It was positioned so perfectly in center with him, the display lights a little brighter than the rest, and most importantly, it had your initial neatly on the glistening band.
It was beautiful, like you.
It was simple gold band, decorated with a cursive initial on the middle, your initial.
Boyfriend!Kento Nanami whose feet pushed him inside the jewellery shop. The customers ogling the way his long sleeved polo shirt hugged his masculine figure, some men smiling at the way that he looked like a child in a candyshop looking for his favourite treat.
And, without a hint of reluctance or embarrassment, he waltzed right in, momentarily believing in the universal force and spirits that you’d yap about frequently, with your eyes all bright and hands motioning in the air.
Cute.
He smiled, remembering the thought while he looked at the displayed golden band.
“Would you like to try it on, sir?” The lady at the front asked, politely gesturing at the ring.
“Yes, I would. Thank you.”
The very second that Nanami slid the ring into his left ring finger, pure instinct by the way, his mind quickly imagined you in a wedding dress, holding a bouquet of your favourite flowers, smiling at him.
Stunning.
And, let’s not forget the house you two would spend months decorating, furniture and trinkets that you picked out in every corner, kids with your eyes and your smile running around the house, and maybe even a pet dog, and a fun little backyard with a tree that he planted on that day the two of you moved in. He can already imagine you as a mommy, hands on your hips as you cutely nag in his ears—
“Sir? Are you alright? Sir?”
The confused worker snaps him back to reality. How long has he been daydreaming? He switches his gaze from the ring to the lady up front.
“I’d like to purchase this, please.” He spoke, cheeks flushed a bright pink from spacing out in thought of you.
“Of course, Sir! Would you like to buy your girlfriend a matching ring, too?”
“…”
“Oh. Well, yes, of course, can I see your ring sizes and, perhaps with letter K as an initial?”
Boyfriend!Kento Nanami whose face turns into a deeper red, was he that obvious?
The worker smiled at him knowingly, chuckling like a proud mom helping her son propose.
“We got you, sir, no worries! What size for the lovely lady?”
And just like that, Nanami knew exactly of your ring size, not because he measured it straight up with a measuring tape, but because of the countless times he’s held your hand, massaged your fingers, and memorised every part of you.
And after swiping his card and receiving the rings in an elegantly packed bag, the workers bid him their goodbyes and thanks by saying,
“Good luck with your proposal, Sir!”
Boyfriend!Kento Nanami who says thank you with meek expression complementing his flushed red face.
Proposal? He says to himself, he did wish for a life with you, but it’s only been one year into your relationship. He didn’t want to spook you.
But, of course, the time will come for an actual proposal, and he’ll be sure to buy you the fanciest ring, decorated with you favourite gemstone, embedded with sweet promised on the inside of the band.
So, for now, he decides to take a quick stop at a flower-shop, buy your favourite flowers, and happily skip home like the lovesick man that he has turned into, just. for. you.
Boyfriend!Kento Nanami who proudly wears it around everyday, flexing it to his coworkers, never taking it off, and admiring it in the quiet mornings with his coffee, with his warm afternoon tea, and within his late-night studies.
It fits comfortably on his finger, just as it was meant for it to be there.
