Aaahhh I FINALLY read it! And behold my ramblings!
“He’s not sure where this twenty-something playboy got the nerve from, but Kento assumes it’s his father.” - damn naoya getting roasted barely a paragraph in lol
“Kento, meanwhile, is once-divorced and thrice-cheated on.” - who were those idiots? Names please 😤 I'll fight them for nanami🤺
“Less happy when she cheated on him fifteen months ago, telling him two days ahead of their anniversary.” - that's diabolical 🤬 screw her! nanami you're gonna get the most caring and loving partner ever! 🥺❤️😌 Also the most annoying but ignore that part 🤭
“Yet daddy couldn't give you a job higher up the chain? Seriously Naoya, what's your nepotism good for if you can't secure yourself a cushy job. You must be a special kind of useless.” - and now gojo is roasting naoya.. nanami and gojo.. match made in heaven.. coming together to roast naoya lol and really how useless is naoya ... So much nepotism and yet he's a glorified assistant 😭
He grins wider and points in westerner fashion without a shred of embarrassment. “Who’s that?” ... “He’s hot.” - HsGsgSgwhH GOJO! 😭 Not him pointing towards nanami and then calling him hot with his whole chest 😭 gojo really has no shame I could never
“Kento has no intention of mentoring this kid.” - well kento it doesn't matter what you intend. We want to see you getting taken care of and banged by a 20 something old so you're gonna mentor gojo 😁
“That kid spells trouble.” - awww he has no idea what's coming, does he. 🙃
“I like my personal space.” - so does gojo 😁 personal space? Thing of the past, my man. 😌
“Kento ignores the thick emphasis on the wrong phrases.” - what was the emphasis put on!?
The kid breaks out into a smile. “You remember my name already.” - I love gojo.. he's got his priorities straight. Next goal: to get nanami to call him Satoru
“Soon he’ll find himself without any place to run and perhaps that is exactly Gojo’s purpose: to corner him when he is unable to move elsewhere.” - 👀 Satoru crowding towards nanami.. gojo! That's your boss! Kinda? Control yourself! Or don't 👀
“There’s a beat of silence and the momentary satisfaction he gets out of Gojo’s shocked face is quickly snuffed out by what he says next;” - ummm ☝️mayybeeee don't scold him nanami 👀 it might awaken something in him 😏🤭
“Oh I really love it when you lay down the law, Nanami-san.” - yeah .... 👀 it's too late now ig. You're stuck with him kento.. I warned ya!
“...but it makes him wonder why he chose to move to Tokyo in the end.” - running away from his over bearing family 🤔
“That’s not a problem then, because I don’t need you to teach me about my job.” - HshHshshwjd WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO TEACH YOU THEN!!?? 👀 The nanago nation wants to know 📢
“Just to introduce me to people, walk me through the company, have a coffee with me and ask me how I’m doing. That sorta stuff.” - this sounds like... A date?
“I’ll just bring you coffee then! You’re looking really stressed. I’m sure that will help.” - yeah I'm sure Satoru would help with the stress 😏 after he has taken nanami to new levels of stress ofc
“No matter how hard he works, it will be taken from him.” - nnnOoooooo 😭😭 let him live happily. He's out so much hard work but people like naobito would rather 'keep it in the family' and ruin the business rather than have someone competent like nanami. And Naoya? Head of finance!!? Be for fr 😭 he could never
“He’s more honest than he should be to a stranger. It is strangely endearing.” - only nanami would find even gojo's faus pas endearing
Gojo beams at him.
“You won’t regret it, Nanami-san!”
Yeah nanami! You definitely won't regret it! 😁
I'm so happy to read this fic ❤️🥰🤩 I can't wait to see where this goes! Btw is the whole fic written already or are you writing as you go? Just asking, if you don't want to share just ignore this.
Thank you for sharing yet another amazing fic with us. Hope you're doing well xoxo
I adore your ramblings! It seems I get back to replying once I finally update because life has been hectic as hell. (I had no other choice, but do not get fired or start a new job whilst pregnant, do not recommend).
> Naoya getting roasted barely a paragraph in It's very necessary for Nanami to absolutely despise Naoya, which will likely feature more throughout the entire fic, haha. Same with Gojo's absolute shamelessness (courtesy of his own nepotism, but we don't talk about that. It's Gojo being Gojo but he is afforded certain leniencies).
Nanami is genuinely so tired, he just needs someone to take the reigns for a bit. "Someone" being an early 20s brat was not exactly on the list, but take of him he will.
Ahh, I'm so glad you like it though! I have had parts of it written, and a WHOLE lot of outline, but this is more 'writing as I go'. I wanted to finish it in its entirety before posting but realised it would never get done at that pace. It helps to post it in increments because it keeps me accountable, haha.
Doing as well as I can! I hope you're keeping well too. ♡
