next chapter

nanami kento was exhausted. it was bad enough that he was constantly drowning in work, not to mention the overtime, but he also had to endure his work colleague, satoru (if you asked, satoru would be adamant they were best friends.)

every single weekend, without fail, the white-haired man would beg him to come to a bar with him to drink. and every single weekend, nanami would refuse.

so why was it that nanami was sat on a barstool in the corner of a bustling club?

“come on, nanamin!! i finally convinced you to come here with me, you can’t sulk by yourself here.” satoru whined, as nanami realised he did often a long time ago.

“i agreed i would attend just this once, that doesn’t mean i’m going to make a fool of myself which no doubt you will be doing tonight.” the stoic man answered with a coldness that satoru wasn’t unfamiliar with.

“you’re such an old man, nanamin. i swear that wrinkle on your forehead gets bigger every time we hang out-”

“do you forget that you are older than me?” nanami rubbed his temples. the regret of agreeing to this outing was bringing on a headache.

“nuh uh. we’re basically the same age.”

“you’re an insolent child.” nanami sighed, and ordered a glass of whiskey. maybe that would soothe his ache– or drown out the 30 year old man child in front of him.

“fine, while you drown in that glass, i’m gonna find me a woman. enjoy your loneliness!” satoru sped off in the direction of the crowd, leaving nanami by himself.

life has a way of making things turn out how they’re supposed to. you had just broken up with your boyfriend of 2 years after finding him cheating… and then the next day you were rewarded by finding out your application to a job was accepted. a career in literature was something you had wanted for a while, and working at the Kaisen Company was everything you wanted and more. it definitely took your mind off your pathetic excuse of an ex boyfriend.

but your friends’ plans for the night were the best remedy of all.

you were in the middle of the packed dance floor, ice cold cocktail in your hand. it had been a considerable amount of time since you last went out dancing with your friends; your ‘insecure’ ex boyfriend didn’t want you going out and cheating on him– how ironic.

regardless, tonight wasn’t about him. it was about your exciting new job as a publishing and marketing assistant, and being free to have as much alcohol as you wanted before you started on monday.

“are you having fun?” your best friend nobara shouted in your direction over the noise of the crowd.

“tons. thank you for taking me out tonight, you two.” you smiled, sipping your drink.

“well we had to celebrate. it’s not every day a woman gets to escape the clutches of an evil toad.” your other friend maki joked. she’d never liked your ex.

you’d met maki and nobara when you started your old job. nobara was four years younger than you at 20, with maki a year older than her, but you were so close and you were sad the three of you were no longer going to be working together.

“speaking of, do you think you’ll end up with anyone tonight? anyone here would be a serious improvement.” nobara asked you.

“unless i meet the perfect man in here, i think i’m gonna pass on the male species altogether for a while.” you considered dating an older man the next time around, hopefully the maturity level would increase slightly.

“who needs men anyway, me and nobara are way cooler than any guy on earth.” maki swung her arm around the both of you and you giggled.

“you’re right. who could possibly be perfect in a place like this?”

nanami was at the end of his fourth drink of the night. every now and then he would turn his head to find satoru being incessantly irritating with some woman, to which he would roll his eyes. it amazed him how any woman would even be attracted to him in the first place.

maybe women liked a man who was boyish and grabbed everyone’s attention. that could be why nanami never seems to get very far with women. he couldn’t even remember the last time he was in a relationship, never mind been interested in a woman.

truthfully he wasn’t social enough to meet anyone.

“could i get another-” “can i please get-”

before nanami could order his fifth glass of whiskey, someone else had ran up to the bar to get another drink.

he peered over at the woman next to him. there you stood, wide eyed like a stunned deer which completely contrasted with your outfit. you couldn’t have been older than 25, he thought, and his eyes couldn’t help but wander over you.

nanami made a mental note not to drink much anymore.

“sorry, you were ordering first.” you smiled politely at the lonely man at the bar. he was handsome, which was certainly an understatement, and his hair was sort of wild and untamed. you took a quick glance at his clothes; a crisp white shirt paired with some black pants, and you came to the conclusion he didn’t come to bars often.

“no, you go ahead, i’m starting to think i should stop ordering myself alcohol.” the man gestured to the bartender who began making your drink as you waited.

“i hope you don’t take offence, but why come to a place like this if you don’t want to drink?” you took it upon yourself to sit down at the stool next to him.

“you see that tall idiot over there, dancing behind that woman?” he pointed over at a man with bright, white hair, “he’s a work colleague, and he dragged me here.”

you smiled at his honesty, it was refreshing.

“what brings you here?” he questioned, his body turning slightly to face you.

“i’m here with my friends, we’re celebrating my new job.” you tactically omitted the drama of your love life. no stranger needs to hear that.

“congratulations, i hope it goes well for you. my name is nanami kento…” nanami held out a hand for you to shake, waiting for you to introduce yourself.

you told him your name, and took his hand in yours, shaking it firmly.

just as you let go of his hand, the bartender comes back over to you with your cocktail.

“so, tell me about your job. do you hate all of your colleagues or just the so-called tall idiot?” you joked, and nanami let out an airy laugh.

“satoru and i knew each other before we started working together. we were in the same high school, and he won’t let me escape him 15 years later.” he explained, but one detail stuck out to you.

“wait– you’re in your 30’s? but you look so young…” you spoke incredulously.

“i am taking that as a compliment, just so you know.” nanami smiled.

“good, because it was supposed to be one.” you didn’t miss the way he cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. you weren’t stupid, you could see this man was absolutely attractive, and he seemed to be a real gentleman. it made you want to rile him up.

“hey, this might be forward, but do you maybe want to dance with me? i haven’t seen my friends in a while and i’m enjoying your company.” you asked him.

“i wouldn’t be opposed to that, but i don’t really dance…” he held his hands up defensively.

“then it’s a perfect time for me to teach you. come on, nanami.” you grabbed his hands and pulled him up from his seat.

following behind you to the dance floor, nanami took a glance around to see if satoru was lurking. he would be mortified if he were to see this.

once you had led him far enough into the crowd, you faced the man. you underestimated how tall he was when you were sat on the barstools, but it was just another reason as to why he was so attractive.

“okay, put your hands right here,” you slowly moved his hands to the sides of your waist, noting how large they were before resting yours on his arms.

“now you just feel the music.” you swayed your hips to the upbeat song blaring from the speakers, all the while nanami watched.

“you’re not a very good teacher.” he chuckled, but his soft voice made it hard for you to hear him.

“what did you say? it’s too loud for me to hear.” you shouted, standing on tiptoes to get closer to his height.

“i said you’re not a very good teacher.” he repeated himself, getting a whiff of the scent of your hair.

“hey! i told you to feel the music, you’d think they were playing some sad ballad.” you laughed at him before standing back down on your feet.

“maybe i’m too old for this.” his hands squeezed at your waist.

“you just need to move your lower body a little.” nanami took your advice and started to move his hips with yours. your eyes never left his as you danced together, and he finally began to let loose. can’t dance, my ass.

as the seconds passed, your bodies got closer and closer, until you were practically pressed against him. you felt the vibrations from his chest indicating he was speaking to you, but once again his voice was lost.

“could you say that again?” you leaned back slightly to look at him.

you assumed you were going to stand on tiptoes again, but instead he leaned down to you, next to the shell of your ear.

“i said you’re beautiful.”

not what you were expecting.

nanami pulled his head away from your ear to face you, but found himself leaning in once again to press his lips to yours.

what started out slow and methodical quickly turned into a heated dance of tongues and hands.

you felt his thumbs caressing your sides as he closed the small gap between your bodies. lifting one of your hands to the back of his head, your fingers threaded in the strands of his hair, and tugged gently. nanami sighed into your mouth, pulling you impossibly closer.

you were so caught up in the moment with him that neither of you noticed a white-haired man heading towards you.

“my, my, my,” satoru interrupted, causing nanami to break away from your lips and let out a huff of indignation, “i leave my good friend alone for five minutes and this is what he gets up to?”

you hold in a laugh at nanami’s face of disgust.

“we haven’t met yet, but i’m sure nanamin’s tongue can introduce me.” you could see why a man like nanami would find him so idiotic, but it was entertaining to say the least.

“i’m going to try my best to ignore what you’ve just said for the sake of my embarrassment. please leave.” nanami pinches the bridge of his nose, meanwhile satoru completely ignores him.

“my name is gojo satoru, but you can just call me toru.” he grins cheekily.

“it’s great to meet you, gojo.”

“ouch, i’m wounded. it’s bad enough that nanamin here calls me by my last name when we’ve known each other for so long.” satoru places a hand on his heart dramatically. it truly surprises you that the two of them are friends when they’re complete opposites.

they sort of reminded you of itadori and megumi, two of your friends from your old job.

“hey, we were just looking for you!” you heard nobara from behind you, with maki beside her.

“oh hey, this is nanami, and his weird friend gojo.” you gestured to the two of them.

“i can’t believe you just called me weird. i thought we were closer than that.” satoru gasped.

“she met you 30 seconds ago.” nanami spat, still scowling like he was as soon as satoru arrived.

“so did you, but you don’t see me giving her mouth to mouth!” he ruffled nanami’s hair, and you pursed your lips, glancing at your friends who raised their eyebrows at you.

“you’re lucky you are somewhat capable at your job or i’d be emailing HR with a lengthy paragraph of your degeneracy.”

“wow, you did a lot while we were gone.” maki side eyed you, and you nudged her with your elbow.

“didn’t you say you weren’t going to-” nobara began but you cut her off.

“i said nothing.” you widened your eyes at her hoping she’d get the hint.

thankfully she did, but satoru certainly did not.

“wait, she wasn’t going to what? tell me, tell me!” he bounced over to nobara, who just looked him with a deadpanned expression.

“stop embarrassing yourself, gojo.” nanami dragged him away by the arm.

“well actually, she said–” you quickly covered maki’s mouth before she could speak and pushed both of her loudmouth friends so they couldn’t say a word.

“i didn’t say a thing! we have to go, see you later!” you scurried away from the two men.

“wait,” nanami called your name, but you were too far to hear him.

damn this loud music.

౨ৎ…

it was the beginning of the week, and nanami had spent the last two days thinking about the woman he met at the bar. you occupied his mind even as he made his commute to work; the smell of the shampoo in your hair, the jokes you so easily made and the effortless way you got a man like him onto the dance floor.

but thanks to satoru, you had left without giving him any way to contact you. he wondered if he may never see you again.

as the elevator reached the floor of your new workspace, you felt nervousness hit the pit of your stomach. what if you weren’t any good at your job? what if no one liked you and you couldn’t make any new friends? even though there was a low chance of these things happening, the thought still crossed your mind.

then you thought back to your weekend. you had a great night with a stranger, and stupidly forgot to ask for his number. it was unlikely you’d see him again too, seeing as he didn’t go to bars. it was a shame, but you supposed if it was meant to be, things would have turned out differently. or at least that’s what you were telling yourself.

walking through the bullpen of desks, you felt people staring at you. it made sense, they’d never seen you before, but it only added to your nerves.

“hello, it’s my first day today and i was instructed to introduce myself to the publishing and marketing manager.” you walked up to the first person you saw standing, a woman with dark brown hair and tired looking eyes.

“oh yeah, i heard we were getting a new member today. you’re a little early so you can just wait in his office. i’m gonna go for a smoke before he gets here so just let yourself in, it’s through that door up there.” the woman pointed to an office behind you.

“thank you!” you bowed politely and headed for the door.

once you entered the room, you immediately noted the lack of decoration. it was quite a bare office, the only interesting thing about it was the large oak bookshelf at the back of the room. out of curiosity you decided to look at the collection of books there.

nanami exited the elevator, exactly on time just as he did every morning. he figured if he was on time for every shift, he’d have less overtime.

“morning, mr. nanami!” one of the staff greeted him.

“good morning.” despite the ungodly amount of workload he had to tackle, nanami did enjoy working with every one of his colleagues (with the exception of satoru, of course. he thanked every god he could think of that he was in a different department.)

“oh, hey nanami.” shoko held a hand up, closing the door of the smoking room.

“you’re smoking again? at 9 in the morning?” nanami sighed, he’d known shoko as long as he’d known satoru.

“old habits never die. by the way, the new starter arrived about 10 minutes ago, i sent her into your office.”

ah, yes. he’d almost forgot there was another colleague joining his team.

“thank you.” nanami walked swiftly to his office door, and through the window he could see a woman taking a look at his bookshelf.

he turned the doorknob and entered his office to greet her, “good morning, you must be the new–”

as the woman turned around, he realised it was the same woman who had been living in his mind all weekend.

“nanami?”

౨ৎ…!

authors note: thanks for reading my first chapter of STAR BOY! i apologise in advance for future updates, because there’s a high chance it will take me a while in between chapters. i sincerely hope you can ignore my mediocre writing.

i’m trying to figure out which characters from the anime/ manga to include, because i don’t think i’ll include all of them. there will definitely be more than i have introduced so far though.

see you in the next chapter!
