𝜗ৎ unusually warm 2
where nanami kento is tired of feeling empty and out of spite and a desperate way to fill that empty void he listens to his friend and goes on a blind date. he couldn’t name a single flaw in you but just one..you were a lot younger then what he anticipated. when satoru set him up and said “to make him feel young again” he didn’t think he’d set him up with a college student..

pt 1 pt 2 pt 3
regret.
thats what he felt at the moment as he got inside his cab after leaving a blushing flower of a girl. he felt sick in result of leaving someone who had sparked something deep inside him he believed was long extinguished and for daring to let that spark start with someone so young.
he tiredly told the cab where to go, his hands taking off his glasses with a tad too much force as he pinched the bridge of his nose. was he too rash? did he make a mistake? no of course he didn't, he was surely more then 5 years older then you. he had his whole life set for him while you had potential and so much to learn.
though he regretted not asking how old she was..
all he knew was she was in college..
maybe she was about to graduate soon and he had assumed you had barely just began college. barely getting the ropes of young adulthood. he couldnt help but to regret every move he made at the end of the date. and the look on your pretty face?
god, he felt horrible
you were nothing short of angelic and now he felt like the devil himself for dimming your light so quickly when he had walked out on you. he'd be sure to regret that for maybe all his life. sure he's had his own fair share of romanticexperinces and relationships but out o all of them..
you cut a little deeper
he thought of himself as silly for getting so regrettable over a girl he had just met. he looks out the window letting out a defeated weak huff.
he immediately regretted it becuase te moment his eyes wander to the night streets of downtown Tokyo he saw you. standing outside the resturant, your pretty little face filled with worry as you search the swarm of people roaming the streets. you were looking for him. he was frozen for a moment.
he quikly looks over at the driver and right when he looked back a where he had seen you..you vanished into the sea of people and tokyo traffic started to advance.
he deflated once more, slumping in his seat and running a tired haand over his handsome face as he closed his eyes.
maybe it was for the best..
but that won't save satoru gojo from his wrath..
𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ
“Im never confiding in you in these situations again. how on earth could you not tell me she was so young!” he growled into the phone in a slightly strained voice as i picked up his coffee order and sat at a tiny corner of a cafe.
he took a deep sip of his drink hoping it’d cool his anger towards his high school classmate. friend wouldn’t be the right word.
“your so uptight your acting like she’s 15.” satoru laughed obnoxiously over the phone. “I’ll admit, it might’ve been my fault about her age and all but I didn’t think it’d be that big of a deal.” he snorts.
nanami lets out a exhale through his nose letting his eyes fall shut before taking a small bite of his pastry. he was quite for a moment just chewing and dwelling over last night.
“how old was she anyways?” he questioned already feeling like he’d regret asking.
“nanami..have you not asked her how old she was before you walked out on her..?”
he stayed quiet making the cocky man sigh dramatically over the line.
“no wonder she was such a whiny teary mess this morning.”
“she cried?” he echoed back, voice softening ever so slightly clearly feeling horrible. “just..tell me how old she is, alright?”
“she’s just 20. she really didn’t mind your age. she’s rather timid though, would’ve thought she’d be too scared to go out with someone older but..ugh i think she’s trying to get out of her shell.” satoru mused, sipping on the juice box he had stolen from you not too long ago. “she seemed really sad this morning about everything so..I might’ve given her a little push..”
he knew she was going to be young but 20? younger then he assumed. now that he knew the age of the angel from the night before he couldn’t help his dotting towards you increase disgustingly so.
was he some monster?
being infatuated by someone who was barely getting their life on track?
he glared at the croissant like it had insulted him before taking a small bite as he thinks.
“nanami, it’s not that bad.” satoru laughs quietly before taking a sip. “she’s turning 21 this year if that makes you feel better. but seriously, i think you guys would hit off great! plus when’s the last time you went on a date—“
“she’s only 20. if i do see her again and for whatever reason things get serious and..i meet her family..t-they’d see me as some pervert or predator sniffing around their daughter with ill intentions!” he strained into the phone, feeling heat crawl up his neck when he realized he said it a bit too loud as bystanders look him briefly.
“she’s of age—“
“barely..” he scoffs.
“at least give her a chanceeee.” satoru practically whines into his ear making nanami hold the phone away from his ear with an annoyed expression. “she’s perfect for you! yeah maybe a bit on the younger side but your acting like your a middle aged man lusting over a high school student. you just graduated from university with your masters and you graduated early. if you don’t graduate early you would’ve also been a college student and I don’t think it would’ve been that horrible when you found out she’s—“
nanami hangs up with a shake of his head.
he felt..troubled to say the least..
he sets his phone down, face up, trying to enjoy his pastry and coffee as he tris to satisfy himself with something sweet despite him longing something sweeter. you.
he took a slow bite before glancing at his phone when it lights up
thestrongest: just in case you change ur minddd ^_<
thestrongest: [@readersinsta]
he couldn’t help but to hesitate.
he should’ve ignored the text.
deleted it, put it out of mind.
gotten rid of it.
though not to much to his delight he quickly went to the message and started to snoop around.
guilt gnawed at every fiber of his being..but also with a hint of giddiness.
he was quick to save the message and decided to make his way back home to discreetly look into you.
he drove himself home trying to calm his mind and think throughly of last nights blessing of a disaster. once he got home he sat doen on his bed and started to do his digging.
cute. simple. sweet. he didn't expect anything less from you. he smiled to himself as he went through your posts. you didnt have any posts posts but highlights. a small number of them but just enough for him. the first highlight was filled with sceneries with the same little traces of you. it might be you looking out at the lake, your glittery nails peeking out to point at something.
the next was more interesting. it had your friends. it consisted of what seemed like karoke, clubbing where he knew they snuck you in much to his disappointment, flower fields with you and another girl run into the hills, etc.
then his personal favorite.
a highlight filled of just you.
his personal favorite was you with three of your students. your wearing little pink crown and holding a sparkly little wand a gloved hand coming up to touch your lips and a faux shocked expression graced your face while another girl sat on your lap and clung to your neck laughing while she wore a big puffy princess dress. then there was a pink haired boy, one smiling widely showing off a few missing teeth and a cavity or two with knight armor and a plastic sword pointed at another boy with spikey black hair and long lashes who was dressed in a red dragon costume and wore a sour look on his face. from his date last night he knew you loved your job as a teacher assistant but this just further made him understand how much you truly loved and cared for them.
then there were other more not so innocent pictures.
you in a bikini, big eyes locked on the camera with your bottom lip caught between your sharp teeth as you smiled. your body was glistening lightly, water droplets rolling off your smooth skin. the color of your bikini looked amazing against your skin. god, everything in the pictured just made him feel hot and bothered. he felt himself get a bit too amoured with the picture so he quickly clicked off trying to ignore the sudden tight fit of his work pants. he rubbed a hand down his face putting down his phone.
he shoved his face in his hands letting out a frustrated groan. he liked this girl.
a lot.
way too much for a first date.
way too much for someone that was 6, practically 7, (hehe) years younger than him..
ding!
he tiredly picked up his phone, a frown on his face feeling disappointed in himself for getting a hard on for a girl he was sure he'd ruined any chance of getting with her ever again. as he glanced at his phone and he felt himself freeze up.
[@readersinsta] requested to follow you!
he just stared at his phone for a while before clicking accept.
maybe he should treat himself.
you wouldnt have requested to follow him if you werent interested anymore, would you?
𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ
"pick up pick up.." you murmur to yourself as you wait for satoru to answer his phone as you pace around your shitty apartment. a impatient frustrated noise escapes you when you’ve been sent to voicemail again.
a soft groan slips past your pouty lips that form a small sneer as you sit on your bed. you let yourself fall back into the pillows and blankets, lashes fluttering shut as you glance at your phone. at the message you had yet to respond to for about an hour now.
kento.nanami88: I'm sorry about the other night.
kento.nanami88: Can we talk..? I want to apologize about everything in person. Give me just one chance.
kento.nanami88: Please answer sweetheart, i feel horrible about walking out on you..
you feel your heart flutter as you read the text messages. you hesitanty write back. he seemed desperate and you'd be lying if having a handsome man like him made you get a little hot. honestly you'd die to see him pleading like this in person. you could imagine it already. the crease to his brow, those hazel eyes looking down at you with nothing but guilt and sincerity, hell maybe just for the heck of it have him on his knees and pleading with you with his hands on yur hips all needy and desperate. wanting to see him beg just a tiny bit more you decide to toy with him a tiny bit.
you: theres no need to apologize
you: i completely understand no hard feelings ^_^
you: got the message loud and clear, trust me.
kento.nanami88: No no, I actually really liked our date
kento.nanami88: I liked you.
kento.nanami88: I wanted to see you again if you'd let me sweetheart
kento.nanami88: Please? Let me make it up to you..
cheeks were all hot and your soft lips part are you read the messgaes. he was asking you for a second chance. you gently sunk your teeth into your bottom lip as you repeat them over and over in your head. the way he was talking to you? it just made you feel all fluttery and giddy. rolling over onto your tummy you quickly text back.
you: well..since your practically begging for it.. (¬`‸´¬)
you: im free friday night if your serious about wanting to make it up to me
kento.nanami88: So it's a date
kento.nanami88: I'll pick you up at 7:00 friday night at your place
kento.nanami88: :)
you: see u friday (✿ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾
you squeal into your pillow and kick your feet. you couldnt wait until tomorrow night.
𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ 𝜗ৎ
you look at yourself in the full body mirror trying to figure out what would look best for your second date with nanami later tonight. he refused to tell you where exactly he was taking you but it didn't dim your excitement for tonight. you gently curl your lashes, clean up your lipstick. you rarely wear it, you settle for lipgloss most of the time but you wanted to be a little bolder. you were a timid girl but he made you want to try bolder things. try to get out of your comfort zone.
dating was already a bit out of your comfort zone so you were already trying as it is.
you look at yourself in the mirror.
was the lipstick color too bold? did it not go with your skin tone? did it look like you were trying too hard? was going with a guy 5+ years older then you a bad idea-
knock knock
you quickly kiss the palm of your hand hoping for the bold shade of the lipstick to get into a nice more lighter color before clumsily goign yo the door in a nervous panic. "coming! p-please wait!" your voice came out muffled from the other side of the door as you gently try to add some lipgloss over the matte lipstick.
you hurriedly open the door, a slightly nervous smile. your smile turns a bit wider and a bit more timid as you let out the smallst little gasp when you notice the rather larger bouquet of flowers. all your favorite kinds.
"you really feel that bad about walking out on me last time?" you laugh softly before taking the flowers off his hands. your smile just got wider when you saw his apologetic yet determine look on his face.
"of course i do y/n, how could i not? forgive me again..thank you for letting me take you out on a second date..you..you look beautiful tonight by the way." he breathes out. his voice came out steady but almost a little bit breathless. he had on a nice grey sweater, the sleeves rolled up his forearms, jeans, glasses long gone. you couldnt help but to ogle him a little bit before locking eyes with his. "you ready to go sweetheart?" he smiled, holding out his arm for you.
gnawing at your bottom lip to try to stop a small bubble of laughter that threatened to bubble up you took his arm. "such a gentleman.." you tease trying to play it cool despite the shake to your hands and slightly tremble to your knobby knees. you dare to look up at him through your lashes, your cheeks getting just a tad pinker. "so? where are you taking me tonight nanami?"
he smiled quietly down at me, hazel eyes locking with your own which bat up at him before they flicker down to your lips. "mm..guess." he teased quietly before stealing one small little glance of your lips again before looking away. the stolen glances didnt go unnoticed by you.
humming softly and looking up ahead, clutching the flowers clutched to my chest i laugh quietly. "i dont know mm..drive in movie theater?orr..i dont know how you think!" you giggle not being able to think of what he could have planned for tonight. i murmur a quiet thank you as he opens up the car for me, his hand on the small off my back which made me tense up ever so slightly and my heart flutter.
as he got inside the car i quickly turn to him, gnawing excitedly at my bottom lip. "sooo?" i sing quietly. "whats the plan? im truly fine with anything-"
"m'gonna cook you dinner." he smiled, buckling up into his seat. he wore a rare soft smile as he locked eyes with your own and god..everything about him just made me feel like you were floating..
"cook me dinner?" you echo back with a soft giggle. "well now i feel badd, if its only because of you running off on me last time and leaving me at the resturant you dont have to y'know-"
"i want to, sweetheart." he said firmly, the name of endearment rolling off his tongue as smooth as honey. you couldnt help the tightening in your chest and the soft part to your lips. "your worth spoiling with my cooking. trust me, im a great cook." he smiled, his voice gentle and relaxed over the quiet music of the radio. "may i help you at least?" you quip softly as he drives around the city before pulling up to a neighborhood. big doe eyes flutter as he parks at a rather spacious house. "..wow, you have such a big house." i muse quietly as he parks in the garage.
stepping out of the car, gently clutching his hand as he takes me into the warmth of his house. i nearly jump out of my skin when i felt something rub against my legs which he just laughed and gently puts a hand at my waist. "sorry, this is my cat teddy."
i yelp quietly when teddy suddenly decides to claw at my leg, almost as if it was deciding wether or not to claw me to shreds or confind in me for the affeection he was greedy for. at that nanami quickly picks up teddy with a stern little look pointed to the feline. "im so sorry, hes not the best with new people.." he quickly apologies. he placed a stern finger pointed at his evil feline before lightly tapping at his nose murmur quiet scoldings to play nice and to not embarrass him.
"its quite alright. cats dont like me very much i didnt expect anything less." you sigh before watching him carry the cat to its little bed, laughing quietly at his scoldings. "so he doesnt like anyone?"
he lets out a quiet bubble of laughter with a shake of his head. "no, teddy is quite..picky i persume..hes hated every single one of my last romantic partners so i tend to keep him away from new people. people that i fancy mostly..so hes going to be in his little room for now until we're done.' he smiled down at me.
"well now i feel bad, having him out in time out because of me..let him roam, m-maybe if he gets used to me he'll grow to like me." you suggest soflty watching teddy pout and sulk in the corner, ears lightly pinned back in displeasure of being put in time out for merciless clawing at his date. "it didn't hurt its truly fine."
he looks down at your legs with frowned brows quietly before giving you a gentle little squeeze to you hand. "alright, thank you. i hate putting teddy in timeout, he really is a well behaved cat." he puts on an apron and rolls up his sleeves as his little beast of a feline is released to the wild to roam and examine his date. "just sit there and look pretty sweetheart, i dont want you to lift a finger." he spoke slightly sternly, hazel eyes looking at you through his lashes as he dries his wet hands.
soft laughter filled his kitchen as you sit across from him, those big eyes of yours watching him as he chops veggies. "your spoiling me too much. first the flowers, jailing your little cat for clawing at me and now cooking me dinner..satoru was right you are a gentleman." you perch your chin at the palm of your hand as you watch him cook. as you admire him specofcally focusing a bit too much on his hands
how big they were. small callouses and prominent veins tailing against his skin from his forearms to his hard working hands. his fingers were lengthy but thick, nails clipped and clean, a cold seemingly expensive ring on his index finger. though when you glance away from his hands to look up at him to meet his eyes he was already staring right at you. you timidly look away as fast as you can and much to your dismay luck teddy hops onto the kitchen counterand sits right in front of you with narrowed green eyes.
"teddy is a beautiful cat. hopefully he'll grow to like me.." murmuring softly before carefully bringing your hand up to teddy's twitching nose hoping for him to get used to my scent. maybe then he'll grow fond of you.
"he's an american curl long hair." he hums softly smiling at his cat taking hesitant curious sniffs of his date. "if it makes you feel better this is the first time he willingly approaches someone who isnt myself..and he's not showing any disdain towards you..he must see how truly sweet you are." he murmurs the last part to himself but made it just barely loud enough for you to hear.
"m..may i ask you something?" you question quietly, eyes shyly taking small glances to his hands before focusing back on teddy who was now nuzzling into your hands though he immediately coils back when he felt the coldness to your skin. with one stern paw he pushed yor hand down on the counter and he instead..laid on top of it..for some reason.
you snicker softly as nanami let out a huff of amusment.
"of course. anything that comes into your pretty little head." he spoke almost lovingly. he gives teddy a warning little look as he happily laid on top of my cold hand, his long bushy tail flicking from side to side contently. he watches you hesitantly stroke teddy as you gnaw at your bottom lip. "s-so..why..umm..why did you walk out on me on our last date?" the words came out hesitant and quietly. almost like you were afraid of the answer.
that made him freeze slightly, the veggies he had just cut spilling into the boiling water. the question seemed to have made him tense. he puts a lid over the pot before lowering the flames and sitting next to you. your eyes flicker from his eyes to his knee lightly bumping against yours. his hands reach out to clasp my own, his eyes pleading and sincere.
"..i truly am sorry about walking out on you. believe me, i-i..i truly did regret it." he spoke softly, his eyes unmoving from yours and his hands clutching your free one which wasn’t being hogged by his sudden angel of a cat. "it wasnt because of something you did, far from it. you were the perfect date. i rarely get smitten with anyone just from one date and..well, you managed to do that." you look off to the side unsure if you should believe him or not. one of his hands come up gently to your cheek, lightly guiding you to look back up at him so you couldnt avoid his gaze.
he looked desperate almost needy for you to believe him. you couldnt help but to melt into his palm. "..then why? m'not even that young i-i just..i know it doesnt matter now because you reached out and h-here we are on our second date but..i dont know im just worried that maybe i said something you didnt like and your just saying that my age was the reason why you walked out on me nana-"
"i promise you sweetheart." he cut you off firmly, both hands now lightly cupping your small face in the palm of his hands. you felt your cheeks grow hotter and your lips part at his sudden touch. "your age just scared me a bit. it was a long day and just when things were going so well between us and then f-finding out you were still in college i..i panicked. i immediately regretted it when i left in my cab." he shakes his head, biting the inside of his cheek as he stared down at your softened doe eyes. "but your age doesnt matter to me anymore. sure your a lot younger then i usually go for but its been a while since ive felt so charmed by somebody. so please, hear me out and..f-forgive my rudeness from our last date." he lets out soflty.
though as the words left his mouth in desperation for you to understand he failed to realize what he was doing. your face was cupped in his big hands, the warmth of your cheeks warming them as he slightly smushed them togther making your lips force into a slight pout. the way you stared up at him all wide eyed and lips lightly parted. he quickly withdrew his hands, leaning back hoping to mantain the proper distance between them again.
"im sorry, i didnt mean to-"
"i didnt mind j-just..got a little flustered." i let out a nervous little smile. my heart was fluttering wildly in my chest fom his touch and his previous closeness. though in my flustered haze i had slipped my hands to my lap, my hand that was once held hostage by nanami's evil needy cat was swept out from underneath him making the cat meow loudly in protest. i let out a soft noise of surprise as teddy pounced onto my lap. pawing meanly at my lap trying to make it comfortable for his sleeping place.
your cheeks were burning hotly as he brings you your hot plate of food. you gawk slightly at the food efore quickly closing your lips into a soft smile. "it looks delicious nanami, you truly out did yourself." i laugh softly before glancing down at teddy who lets out a quiet yawn on your lap. "how did you know this was my favorite?" you hum softly as your lightly blow at your food.
“satoru. I asked him what your favorite foods were so I could try to make them for you.” he spoke softly, taking a seat next to you making you feel a bit warm all over again because of what just happened mere minutes ago.
a frown lightly takes over your face before looking up at him. “your not eating? you must, I feel bad—“
he shook his head. “no need, this for you sweetheart. tonight’s all about you..”
you chew quietly trying your hardest to fight off a smile. “your very charming.” you hum as you take a sip of wine. “at least have a glass of wine with me.” you slide him a glass. “it’s a date after all. don’t wanna make me feel lonely now will you?”
he smiled before taking the wine glass from your hands, eyes unmoving from your own as his fingers graze yours before he takes a good sip with a quiet murmur. “thanks sweetheart.”
“you call every girl you date sweetheart?” you tease lightly bumping your knee with his.
“no. only you.” he spoke almost too quickly.
the night was filled with good banter, subtle teasing and flirtations, lingering fleeting touches as the fold was forgotten and you both got lost in each others company.
all good things had to come to an end.
as much as you hated it.
the walk back to your apartment was quiet.
you usually always despised the quiet you had to endure when you were with someone. it always felt unbearably awkward and suffocating.
but with nanami it felt like a breath of fresh air.
it felt like that teenage high school love you never got to experience.
it was exciting almost.
“thank you again nanami.” You spoke softly, still holding the flowers to your chest, looking up at him over the blossoms. “it was very romantic of you to cook for me for a simple apology even though you didn’t have to..and the flowers? god I can’t even remember the last time I got flowers..”
nanami was staring down at you in admiration. he was so starstruck by you and it puzzled him. he nearly never felt this way towards someone he had practically only known a week but it was thrilling. “of course, it’s no problem.” he reassured softly, walking a little closer next to you.
you feel your breath quicken and your heart nearly stop completely as you felt your fingers brushing accidentally. you were about to apologize but you bite your tongue. timidly you gently interlock pinkies with him which seemed to have given him the green light.
his big hand clutched yours when suddenly he playfully tugs you to his side.
letting out a tiny squeak at the sudden tug you bump into nanamis side making you laugh and softly smack his chest with the flowers he had given you. “that was rather rude of you.” but you didn’t dare separate the distance. you held onto his hand, pressing yourself against his side with a bashful smile to your lips.
you suddenly come to a stop in front of the stairs to your apartment floor and you quickly swoop in front of him, hands to his chest as you bite your lip excitedly.
“I want to play a game before you drop me off.”
“a game?” nanami snorts
“please?”
he sighs before nodding his head.
“first..you do want to go on a third date with me..right?” you question
he nod with an obvious smile. “of course I do.”
“who ever gets to my apartment door gets to pick what we do!” you suddenly call out, pushing lightly at his chest to give you a head start, running as fast as you could up the stairs.
you let out a squeal and run faster at the sound of quick heavy footsteps coming way too close behind you.
and right when you were about to touch your apartment door you felt two big hands grip your waist and suddenly your feet weren’t touching the ground and you were maneuvered out of the way.
“I win.” he pant out with a cocky smirk to his lips.
“you did not, i was right there-!” you squeal out into a fit of giggles as he kept you off your feet, your body pressed against his. “let me go!”
“you seem to be enjoying yourself too much, why would i?” he teased, hazel eyes boring up at your own which crinkled as you laugh. you kick your feet playfully but soon your fit of giggles quiet down as you stare down at him, your hands on his chest.
your smile softened and your eyes lingered on places they shouldn’t. his own were fleeting else where all the while he kept you up against himself.
after a moment of just admiring one another he sets you on yours feet. you were both just in silence, staring up at one another before he took a small step closer to you. slow enough for you to step away if you wanted to. but you didn’t.
his eyes linger on your lips and his do as well.
you hesitate softly before parting your lips.
“nanami?”
“kento. call me kento, sweetheart.”
god, you never wanted to leave
“..c-can..can you kiss me?” you ask quietly almost scared of his saying no. but with the way he was looking at you you knew that no was out of the question. “please?”
“if I do, will you go on a third date with me y/n?” he teased, his hand coming up to brush a strand of hair behind your ear.
your words seemed to fail you so you could only muster a slight nod.
you felt his breath fan over your lips, the tip of your nose lightly bumping your which wouldn’t made you laugh quietly if it weren’t for the intimate moment.
your lips part and you let his hand cup your jaw as he brings you into a kiss.
it was slow.
gentle.
intimate.
your eyes flutter shut, soft lips pressing against his as you savor every bit. the kiss turned to be slow kissing, smooch after smooch after smooch until you were left chasing after his lips and now he was the one laughing into the kiss.
you pout lightly letting him pull away despite wanting so much more. “w-why are you laughing?” you let out embarrassed, your hands coming up to lightly and playfully smack and hit his chest. “it’s not funny! do I kiss weird?”
“no, sweetheart, far from it.” he reassured bring a had up to your head and lightly ruffling your hair. “your lip gloss just tastes like lychee.”
you laugh quietly into his chest still feeling all embarrassed.
you couldn’t wait for your third date.
a/n: ..part 3….? but with smut..even though it’ll come out kinda bad🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
