High School! Nanami headcanons
(ac: mineco000 on twt!)
(emo nanami x gn! reader)
A/N: If no one else is gonna pump out emo kento content ig I’ll do it :/
Gets teased constantly about being emo (mainly by his peers Gojo, Geto, Haibara, etc.) It’s all in good fun and it doesn’t really get to him but when he catches feelings for you it makes him wonder if he’d be your type.
He wonders if you’d like boys like him because he’s noticed that outgoing fun guys like Gojo are typically seen as more attractive.
You’re oblivious to his crush on you because he’s always quiet unless he has something worth saying. But Haibara noticed immediately because…
Nanami is usually quiet but does small gestures that show his true feelings towards someone. Like whenever you talk Nanami gives you his full attention but when you look at him he immediately turns away and just nods. Haibara notices this and giggles about it.
YU HAIBARA NUMBER #1 WINGMAN
He’s always telling Nanami to shoot his shot w you!
H: “C’mon I’ll set up a date and everything! We could go to a cafe [as a group of 3] but then I’ll lie and say I left my stove on or something. Then I’ll leave and it would just be the two of you!”
Nanami says it’s the stupidest idea he’s ever heard (but he considers it for days.)
He doesn’t try to flirt with you because he doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable (but he practices what to say to you in the mirror and Haibara caught him one time 💀)
NK: “So um, Y/N, what… kind of music do you like?” He mumbles to the mirror, awkwardly fixing his hair. He tries to imagine your response in his head.
“Oh, I love the same music as you, Ken! Take me to a concert so we can rave and make out!” Haibara teases from the doorway, making his voice high pitched. He wraps his arms around himself and makes kissing sounds.
Nanami threw a pillow at him and jumped him.
But when he is alone with you…
For example, if it’s just you two on a mission, he’ll try to make small talk even though he hates it.
He’ll bring up anything he knows you like (shows, movies, music, etc.) because even if he knows nothing about it, he likes watching the way you light up when you talk about your interest.
If you’re walking next to each other and your hands touch he won’t visibly react but he will scream internally.
If you flirt with him even as a joke, he won’t know how to react and he will blush like crazy. His face will be so red you’ll ask if he’s having an allergic reaction.
Constantly fights the urge to look at any part of you
Finally confessing…
If you confess first:
He’ll ask if you’re joking. Even if you confirm that you’re not, he’ll ask 10 more times.
He’ll start to smile but quickly cover the corner of his mouth with the neck of his uniform jacket.
He finally makes eye contact with you and softly says “I like you too.”
He’d like to kiss you on the spot, but thinks it’d be more romantic to wait for the first date.
Instead, he asks to hold your hand. When you accept, he holds it tightly, wondering how he got so lucky.
If he confesses first…
It would probably be after a long mission. It’s late at night and you’re both pretty beat.
You’d be covered in scratches and cuts, bleeding lightly. But to Nanami, you’re still the most beautiful person he’s ever seen.
Without thinking, he’d reach forward and wipe a drop of blood from your chin.
When you ask him why he did that, he’d just shrug and give a small tired smile. He’s usually stoic, but how could he not smile after a job well done?
And in all honesty, he’s just glad he didn’t lose you.
It’s late and you’re both exhausted, so he suggests going to a local bakery he loves and insists that he’ll pay.
It doesn’t matter if you order a pastry or a sandwich, he’s happy to treat you.
On the walk back to campus, he watches as you eagerly chow down on whatever he bought you. He decides to use whatever adrenaline he has left to confess his feelings for you.
NK: “Hey, there’s something that’s… been on my mind for a while. I’ve tried to ignore it but, it’s pretty difficult to do when it’s about someone like you.”
He rambles on how about how much he likes you. His words sound like a poet but they’re basically verbatim with the lyrics of his favorite song.
Once he’s done he goes quiet and looks at you. “So… what do you think? I don’t expect you to feel the same, but if you do…”
When you tell him you feel the same, his knees go weak. He can’t even believe the words you’re saying.
“I’ve always liked you, Kento.” You laugh, placing a hand on his arm.
“You’re lying.” Nanami’s eyes are wide with surprise.
“I’m not, I swear! I thought I made it obvious. Even Haibara noticed.”
“He what.”

I've literally never read any of this segment Gerard Way wrote (?) for Rolling Stone about Queen before?? lowkey got jump scared by his name while reading this article /pos
My dad was a mechanic. He worked on a lot of bottom-of-the-rung cars that didn't have cassette decks. But they had 8-tracks. Somebody left an 8-track tape of Queen's Greatest Hits in a car — the one where they're wearing leather jackets on the cover, and Freddie's got the mustache. I loved it immediately, and I came to emulate Freddie both as a child and as an adult.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is arguably the greatest song ever written. I'm sure people told them it was too long or had too many movements. But then it came out and just took hold of the world. When you're in a band and you find something that breaks every rule, it gives you creative hope. And Queen were always trying something new; none of their hit songs were paint-by-numbers.
When My Chemical Romance were making The Black Parade, we watched tons of documentary footage about A Night at the Opera, Queen's best album. We used Brian May amps and wrote songs with different movements. But we didn't try to make another "Bohemian Rhapsody." Whenever someone tries to do that, they fail.
I love the way Freddie performed. He would strike amazing poses; maybe he practiced them in front of a mirror, but he wasn't pretending to be somebody else. That was him telling the world, "This is who I am." I remember when the surviving members of Queen were looking for a singer a few years ago, I was like, "I would love to try it." Freddie's songs are just so much fun to sing, and he had such stamina. I would definitely have to quit smoking to be able to do what he did.
Queen fell in and out of being cool, maybe because they were so sincere. Rock music is all about being phony sometimes. And they weren't. They were obviously so psyched to be doing what they were doing.
They had a polarizing quality. I heard a story — maybe apocryphal — that Queen played a festival and got booed off the stage. Freddie vowed they would return as the biggest band in the world. And they did. When we played the Reading and Leeds festivals, we had to follow Slayer, and got bottles of piss thrown at us. I thought, "If we ever come back here, we're gonna headline it." I've always held on to the same dreams as Freddie.
