Literate RPer. Written by Maha 21+ (they/them)
Looking for...
I prefer character fueled plots, with all the messiness of feelings and misunderstandings. I am a big fan of atypical as well as the vanilla relationships, fyi. That means characters with placed maternal/paternal figures, sibling-like relationships, controlling relationships, destructive passion, fixation, sex with no love, love with no sex, misplaced pity, etc. I enjoy a good old jump action scene, like any JJK fan, so if violence and fighting is your jam, let'sss goo.
I am also interested in non-romantic (relation)ships. The paternal/maternal, brother/sisterly, rivals, enemies, unlikely bffs etc.
If you are another Nanami player, please add me, you rare dog you.
If you are 18+ and are looking to build something lovely and dark, please take a look at my RP rules to get started with Kento.
TRIGGERS: While Nanami is not an inherently unkind person, I care a lot about my partners, and roleplays may contain some disturbing content. I will always label my triggers in the format: ‘burn tw’ or ‘nsfw’. See Tags.

Nanami's voice float in to the depths of his ears capturing his full, undivided attention. Baggy, dark eyes and brown pupils read Nanami's lips- only to validate what his ears were capturing.
"I don't disagree with you..........Stop. Curses. From. Existing."
Suguru's hopes were up. A premature sense of understanding, a glimmer of validation to what the future could be. A world without curses. It's what everyone wants, right? But everyone is too afraid to voice their concern. They were too afraid to look at the simple solution. Suguru was sure that Nanami was as tired of the fighting with as broken as his body was. From what it seems, even Nanami couldn't be so blinded from the truth.
"I'd say you sound crazy, Suguru."
Hopes for an ally shatters to large, painful pieces. It's shards send fresh stabs into Suguru's ego. Crazy? His thoughts just might be. But was it necessary? A resounding yes. Nanami's reaction was expected from someone who wouldn't understand. Someone who can't comprehend how freeing a curseless world would be. Geto was hoping for him to see what he witnessed. To offer Nanami the same lenses Suguru carries and place them before his very eyes. Some sorcerers were harder to convince than others, and getting Nanami to accept the truth is going to prove arduous. It's well worth the powerful ally. However, words were rattling in his mind. Another conflict storming within him, trying to take hold of his beliefs. Guide Nanami to the light, or continue to give Love to the strong, Punishment to the weak, and Death to the fools. Would Nanami have earned righteous punishment? Would pushing Nanami on the floor, watching him crawl and gravel at his own feet, and explaining how crazy it is to continue this never-ending marathon - be justified? Part of Geto knew it was crazy, and a part of him felt it was necessary. But could he really do that to his friend? Did he really have the strength to see a loved one suffer by his hands, even if there was an ultimate purpose to it? Is violence really an option?
Taking a mental note on the use of his first name, Suguru focuses on trust they forged in their friendship. Their bond became leverage he could use convince Nanami. Although this battle was over, the arduous war was just the beginning-- and Nanami's trust was his weapon.
Suguru narrows his eyes and presses his lips into a firm line. His eyebrows harden when his eyes rest upon Nanami's bloody golden locks.
When Nanami rests his weight on his arm, he flexes his bicep and lower back-- remaining sturdy to support and hoist up his injured friend. He could sense Nanami's instability when the other closes his eyes, making Suguru reach to catch him on instinct. All thoughts halt over concern for his friend.
Geto's features soften. Thankfully it was a false alarm, and he continues to allow Nanami to lead their pace. No one was collapsing now, not yet.
"I'll be sure to give it my all when you try." His heavy eyes close softly when he chuckles. A small smile curls his lips as he visualizes the outcome. "And I'm taking your weapon when you lose, Kento.
Suguru guides Nanami out the cold, lifeless morgue. The hum of the HVAC slowly fades into the distance, freeing their ears from its morbid grip. Step by step they bid Haibara their farewells, moving onward in their grief. The weight of his vulnerable foolish friend presses down on Suguru's shoulders, mirroring the storm of opposing thoughts placing pressure on his sanity.
"I'm fine..." he answers, his voice low and strained. "It's just really cold in here. I appreciate your concern, but, let's take care of you first."
Nanami pictures Geto using his weapon, the thought quirking Nanami's eyebrows a hair. Amusement and dark jokes. The briefest respite of escapism.
"You can use it in the kitchen, open mail.." he says with tumbled gravel and dark musings. The cold sterile air has taken its toll on his voice.
There had been the barest of chuckles from Geto, grief still clinging to him. They fall into the somber silence of the hallway and this feels better somehow. Closing the door behind them almost painless with Geto to latch it for him.
Nanami attention catches on his senpai's strained features, the turmoil still churning in all the quiet. His words seemed out of place, not the usual kind placating that he had known Geto for.
A part of him wanted to think it was the grief talking.
This only gets worse, Nanami. Unless we find a way to stop curses from existing.
The words itched at him. In hindsight, he might see the folly in believing they were harmless. Words that itched like a festering hole, not something that healed .
They continue on in silence, a slow pace, but Nanami doesn't exactly care. The gap between Nanami seeing Geto as just some gravitation force around Gojo, and the gap of Special Grade and Grade-2 feels comical now. Suguru saved them like he would any brother. The comradeship was not lost on Nanami.
He's grateful to have some dignity, Geto so easily taking on the brunt of both their weights allowed him to walk away at all.
The light of the early morning is starkly pleasant. The smell of dew and grass, and the morning bell for the few students of Tokyo high. Nanami keeps his gaze fixed ahead, brushing off the concern looks of familiar faces passing by.
No one brave enough to confront him, offer awkward condolences, no invading questions. Kusakabe stands on some periphery, he notes, pretending to be looking at the mailboxes as Nanami realizes his dorm is in his direction. Kusakabe clears the way long before they are forced to socialize. Nanami wonders if it's because the respect he has for Geto Suguru or if he's a reasonable coward. Whatever the case, Nanami is thankful.
Nanami presses on without explanation to any other passers by, desperate not to deepen any more undeserved attention.
Suguru seems to understand, adjusting their slow trajectory towards the blessed privacy of the dorms. There's a murmer of 'almost there,' and Nanami gives a tight nod. Jaw clenches against the blaze of pain as they go up the steps.
They make it into the men's dorm building and pause for him to catch his breath. Suguru is a constant steadying hand under his arm when Nanami cradles his chest. At least they're alone now.
"There's something I need to grab," he says nodding to the men's old bathrooms past the door.
"I can manage the bathroom alone," he says, looking at Suguru in silent plea. Slowly, gently, they untangle. And Nanami pulls away from the hovering support before Suguru can argue.
Nanami makes it a few shaky steps before halting, a barely muffled groan escaping him. Glancing down in dismay, he pulls his hand away from his chest. The makeshift bandages soaked through the black of his uniform. The lack of Geto's support reveals the true extent of the blood loss.
Cursing under his breath, Nanami looks back to Suguru. He catches sight of blood on his hand as well. "It's fine, stay here. I'll return shortly."
Nanami pushes into the bathroom. Along the wall sits pipework rarely maintained by the aging school— and Nanami palms the grooves. He has what students would call a 'secret stash': some attempt at juvenile delinquency, one that Nanami had placed in his first year.
Sober now, his first year had been a hard one. Being away from his grandmother and the suppressed homesickness had taken it's toll. The only person who knew it existed is— was— Yu. And now Geto Suguru. Nanami grits his teeth as he pops open the boards of the wall, retrieving the unmarked bottle from its niche.

( Dirty A-Z headcanon game )
R - Routine (do they have a routine when it comes to picking up one night stands? do they have scheduled sex with their partner? are things spontaneous or planned ahead of time?)
Nanami is not one to keep consistent partners if only for how stressed life is. One night stands with strangers are more bothersome when a night home alone with a book is preferred.
However, despite his routine life, sex is almost never planned. Where work, food, days, and nights are planned, his approach to sex is very open. If the doors have been opened before, and there's an obvious spark between him and a past lover Nanami is not shy to show it. He makes use of the time he spends with his partner, apt to show his affection in a shower, in the kitchen, before work, or impromptu on a lunch break. The one part of his life that is spontaneous, and he quite enjoys it, even if it surprises him at times.
A - Alone time (how do they get off when they’re all by themselves? do they watch porn, is it all in their imagination, do they jerk off, do they use toys?)
Nanami is definitely fond of playing old scenarios or wanted scenarios in his head if he ever needs to get off. His usual routine is before bed after a hot shower. He's settled into an, uh, nightly routine.
T - Top or bottom (self explanatory…)
Nanami prefers topping. He has little control of other things in his life, but having a partner who trusts him enough to take control gets him hard like nothing else.
He is a pretty open guy, however. He doesn't mind having an, uh, power bottom. Brat types are his unspoken favorites.
To actually bottom? It would most likely be because his partner is interested in it and he'd do it for their pleasure. It would take a lot for him to be comfortable with relinquishing control. Though if the right circumstances presented themselves, he'd probably enjoy it.
I - Impact play (here’s where talking about things like spanking, paddles, canes, floggers and the like.)
Nanami fell into this kink due to uh a hate sex thing that happened and now he's older, wiser, and done his research. He's more interested in the doming aspect of impact play, having a sadistic streak he has embraced over the years. Leaving marks under clothes, the gasps and sounds of his partner— does this man love spanking and giving after care. He's owned a few tools over the years as an as-needed basis.
O - Outdoor sex (have they ever done it in public? would they? where?)
Nanami would never consciously choose outdoor sex— but public foreplay is something that he has stumbled into. Whether a hand under a skirt of his partner while on a train, teasing someone in a public setting by leaning over their back, leaving seemingly innocent touches, or the best foreplay: words. Teasing, little arguments, or promising whispers in the ear are his favorite.
Satoru checked the clock for the third time before whining at his friend. “Since when does food delivery take this long? I could have picked it up myself in less time.”

Kento tries to focus on his book, though his attention keeps drifting to the sprawled form of Satoru on his couch. He hadn't planned for company tonight, and still isn't sure why Gojo invited himself over.
Nanami had already meal prepped for the week, but his colleague insisted he would pay, fees and all, for delivery. It was ostentatious. And a poor use of money. But. Nanami was weak to the prospect of enjoying a hot sandwich over the cold chicken and rice he had prepared.
"Perhaps there was heavier traffic than expected," Kento comments, tone neutral as he turns a page. Gojo had been complaining for the last ten minutes, still remaining impatient.
"Complaining won't expedite the process," he adds, rereading the same page for the third time.
Nanami washes up in the dim men's bathroom of the highschool. The aged pipes groan softy as he loosens his tie, eyes closed against the flickering light. Rare peace, however fleeting, even if the silence is hindered by the humming of old filament light bulbs and a perpetual dripping sound.
There was a —Nanami-sensei, there you are!
Yuji's voice bounces off the tiled walls. The 7:3 sorcerer turns to find his student grinning up at him with familiar enthusiasm. Still, it always catches him off guard.
"Ah. Itadori-kun."
Yuji beams like the sun in the dark bathroom. He asks him to teach him how to 'one of those fancy knots.'
Nanami blinks down at his pupil, then casts a look around the bathroom, composure caught off guard. When had Yuji slipped in? The boy seems oblivious to his imposing. Yuji's energy almost vibrating.
With a muted exhale, Nanami collects himself, turning to the chipped mirror.
"Pay attention," he instructs, fingers dancing through the remembered motions. "The wide end crosses over, then under..."
He feels the boy watching him intently through the mirror, gaze fixed on Nanami's hands as they make each loop and twists. The lessons unfolds slowly until at last the tie takes shape.
"Do you understand?" Nanami asks once finished. Finally looking up to catch Yuji's stare in the mirror.
