sneak peak of one of the requests I've been working on :> also an idea I wanted to explore with Naoya hahahah he's a jerk btw.
complete version here.
When the idea of an open relationship is suggested… the first, of many fractures, unwittingly struck onto your relationship.
First by shattering the image you had of him.
Sure, your feelings for him remained, which is what made this ordeal far more painful…
But that didn’t mean you couldn’t harbor other feelings, such as anger.
“—just before we finally settle.” Is the lousy excuse he gives you when confronted, another stab to your heart. “Get it out of the system, you know?”
No. You don’t know, because for the past few years, Naoya is the only man you’ve had eyes for, imagining a future with him—and solely him.
It hurts to even consider he hasn’t been doing the same, probably already interested in some other woman, the reason behind his suggestion in the first place.
“I don’t want to…” you murmur, doing your best to not leave the table, or at least not shed a tear.
“It’ll only be a short time.” Naoya insists. “This way, we can know if we’re truly meant for each other. See if we don’t feel the same with others, hm?”
It’s stupid.
It really is—
Naoya’s suggestion… and your devotion to make him happy.
Because even after all the dumb things he said to justify the unjustifiable, you still wanted to please him.
“I guess we could go through restrictions or something, not that I have an—”
“No sex.” The rapid way in which you reply is something Naoya can’t help but find adorable, interpreting your eagerness as jealousy, overprotectiveness… before brushing it off as silly.
“Y/N—my love, you’re not seriously thinking we can reach a conclusion without that now, can we?”
Truth to be told, you didn’t want to find out. Not by this way at least, by laying in the arms of another…
Could he really blame you for trying to fight it?
“Besides, don’t you want to try it out too?” Naoya smirks. “I’m fine with it, really. It’s a two-way road, after all. What’s good in me having all the fun?”
What hurts more?
That fact that Naoya wanted to pursue other women with your permission?
Or that he was pushing you onto other men, appearing careless to whatever you did or didn’t do with them?
It’s not that Naoya doesn’t care—far from that, really. He doesn’t like when men do as little as glance in your direction.
But he doesn’t worry, because he knows there’s nothing to worry about.
Trusting that his hopelessly-in-love girlfriend would never betray him like that. Aware that your attention and devotion has been on him the moment you took him into your heart—and that no matter what, you’ll always come back to him.
It’s why he suggested the idea in the first place, because he’s long acknowledged that even past your limits, you still tolerate him.
Thus, unsurprised that you agreed to this change—Naoya leaving the apartment soon after that.
Looks like you were right in assuming he already had someone in mind to debut this new arrangement; willing to bet anything to prove he’s already on way to her.
…Well, you hope that Naoya at least respects the only condition both agreed on: not bring any partners to the apartment.
Not that you’d be there to see much of it anyways, opting to stay in your friend’s—Shoko— apartment for the time being.
“Can’t say I didn’t imagine him capable of something like that—but I guess I never thought he’d actually do it, not after dating you as long as he did.” She’d say, before taking a deep huff of her cigarette and exhaling.
You always found it endearing how she’d release the smoke to the side, as if it didn’t permeate the air around you… but at least Shoko cares enough to try.
“So much for having faith on him…”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” you say, offended yet intrigued by her implications.
“I mean, you knew of the rumors before dating him, Y/N.” Shoko adds, you sigh. That, you did. “I don’t want to say I told you so, but…”
“I guess I was hoping they weren’t real.” You slowly admit. “…What am I going to do, Shoko?”
A breakup isn’t exactly what you had in mind, certainly not what you wanted to do….
But why do that now when you could take advantage of this exploitable opportunity? An opening all too obvious to Shoko, which she doesn’t hesitate to let you know.
“Give him a taste of his own medicine.” She suddenly suggests. “He told you, didn’t he? That you were good to be with other men.”
“But I don’t want to.” You shake your head. “I don’t—I don’t think I can.”
“It’s exactly the same, just another face if that’s what you’re wondering.” Shoko explains, but to you, it was much deeper than that, always has been, certainly for an emotional personal like you.
It’s why she was so angry that your beloved boyfriend was quick to disregard your feelings.
“Ok, sure, let’s say I agree.” You play along. “How do I even start? It’s been a while since I’ve been in the dating scene—I don’t even know if I’m still… desirable.”
Oh, if you only knew.
.I. naoya

sneak peak of a valentine's day special I've decided to do for a highschool au ask hehehehe
edit: complete version here.
“Who sent them?” you breathe, not trying to hide your excitement; perhaps it was…?
“A secret admirer.” Is all that Mei Mei says. “Perhaps.”
“Aw, come on! I mean—you have to know, right??”
“I do… but my services don’t go beyond that.” She smiles—obviously wanting something more.
But you suppose that for something as sweet as this, to keep the identity of your unknown aficionado would only be fitting.
i gotta say, this took a completely different route than I expected. I think I'll do a two part :)))))

cause I don't wanna not put a sneak peek of an ask that I'm currently writing. excited to write more about nanami lol
Nanami would not take it well at first, for a variety of reasons.
First, it’s unexpected. At least for him it feels that way.
The two were close throughout your years in jujutsu high, but as all things happen, you began to date Naoya and well, he took much of your attention. Sure, you kept contact with him, he was still important for you, but it wasn’t the same anymore.
So, when rumors began to circulate that the two were to marry… he couldn’t believe it.
Here comes the second reason.
Naoya was very… different. To say the least. Like your complete opposite—and honestly? Everyone at one point thought it was a prank, probably something Satoru did to get a rise of whoever he could catch, as usual, and that it wouldn’t last long. Certainly not with someone as… your boyfriend.
Until your wedding invitation eventually arrives, and this not only cemented the fact that you were still together with Naoya, but that you wanted to take this relationship seriously.
The first thing he does is call you in hopes of getting verbal confirmation from you.
“Yes, I’m marrying Naoya.” Is what you say, proudly—an excitement in your voice that doesn’t escape Nanami’s attention.
Something that was expected of any bride-to-be. And yet… it hurt him to hear that.
Is it because he thinks you’re making the wrong decision? Well, considering the rumors surrounding the Zen’in, definitely. He may not be well versed in the Jujutsu community, at least when it comes to clans and special techniques and whatnot…
But he’s seen enough to understand the Zen’in might not provide you with a life you deserve, and there’s only so much you (or Naoya) could do before their ways finally caught up to you.
Or worse: Naoya eventually succumbs to his environment, leading him to be the main perpetrator of your miseries, which Nanami has no doubt he already was considering his behavior at school.
However, it’s like none of these things mattered to you, and why would they? By now, after years of being together, you were completely and utterly enamored by him, as you went on and on about the wedding preparations, how excited you were to go on your honeymoon (which Naoya kept a secret from you) and how you’d like Kento to attend.
With your words, he only dives deeper into this… hazy feeling of surrealness, as if everything had been nothing but a jest, perhaps even made up from his own imagination, by some strange reason, perhaps to justify your absence.
But it wasn’t, and at the culmination of his displeasure, alongside what he considered your delusions towards Naoya, he blurts the most painful words Nanami has ever told you:
“Are you sure this is even the man you want to spend the rest of your life with?”
i always imagined nanami to be the kind of person to coldly tell you the truth, whether you like it or not. :) we shall see what happens next tho hahahah
