boyfriend!nanami who follows you into the dressing room area, sits patiently on the little bench while you try things on. doesn’t even look up from his phone when the store clerk awkwardly tells him he can’t be there—“i’m her boyfriend,” he says, and doesn’t move. when you step out in something short, something clingy, something risky, his eyes drag slowly down your body and his jaw flexes like he’s debating whether he should let you leave the store in it or tear it off you right then and there. “get that one,” he murmurs, voice low. “i’ll pay for it.”

boyfriend!nanami who doesn’t just tolerate your routines—he studies them. holds out his hand when you’re swatching foundations on the back of yours, lets you use his skin for comparison like it’s nothing. when you’re indecisive, he reads the label over your shoulder, murmurs, “you already have something like this,” even though he pretends not to pay attention when you do your makeup in the morning. “but if you want it, get it.” and when you do? he slams his amex card down and he carries the bags, doesn’t let you lift a thing, and brushes a kiss to your temple while muttering something about how beautiful you’ll look—like you aren’t already.

both of his hands resting snuggly on its body, as if he was hugging it to sleep. (he did)

the biggest grin stretched out across your face, taking your phone out as you went to take many many pictures of them first because it was an overwhemingly cute sight, second... well, you know, just for additional satisfaction points after telling him 'told you so!'

alas, your excited steps in getting the photos of different angles woke the man up, as nanami looked like he was caught red-handed after looking back and forth from the cat to your phone. a smug smile made its way to your lips as you crossed arms with a raised eyebrow.

"she came to me herself after i fell asleep," he reasoned, getting worked up all by himself. "i didn't say anything," you replied with a playful shrug as he sighed, looking over the feline who's still asleep; his body language contradicted his words, moving as slowly as possible as to not disturb its slumber.

"you didn't have to love, your smile already said it all," he said as he finally let out a defeated smile, gently running his hand through the fur of the small animal. you had to swallow a squeal from witnessing such a cute sight.

"ready to be honest and admit that you love her so much and you won't let anything bad happen to her ever?" you asked, a big smile still loyal on your expression. nanami chuckled, "not sure if i am at that stage yet but-" he stopped, booping the cat's button nose.

"she is quite cute sometimes, especially when she's not running around clawing things she finds unpleasant—which are almost everything. a hard cat to please, this one."

oh nanami, with the way he said that, he's way past that stage, you thought.

youtuber!Nanami who never expected a collab to be how he ends up in your bedroom for the first time (not that he'd been thinking about it or anything)

youtuber!Nanami who sits still, perched on the too-small stool in front of your mirror, brushes and pallets scattered around as you applied another layer of something to his face, studying the makeup on yours and stunned by how pretty you look with your brows pulled together so intently while you huff at him to close his eyes

youtuber!Nanami who was, well, unsure at your first suggestion of dressing him up, but quickly reassessed at the first realization you weren't about to reconsider

youtuber!Nanami who has a suggestion of his own, however, once he looks up the character you send him, some blond spy that already looks like him, once he sees his wife

youtuber!Nanami who doesn't realize he has a crush on you until you practically recoil at his suggestion for a couple's cosplay, how you roll your eyes and insist you didn't need to get any more hate from his absolutely fucking insane fans

youtuber!Nanami who isn't pushy, not the type to ask again and again, but promises he would never let that happen this time, politely requesting you join him a second time since it is a collab after all

youtuber!Nanami who can feel his throat constrict, hear his pulse thrumming so loudly in his ears when you hesitantly agree, but when you mumbled something about their marriage being fake anyway, he swears you might as well drove an icepick into his quickly-deflating heart

youtuber!Nanami who was surprised to see you were already dressed up and ready when he showed up to your door a few weeks later despite all the messages you exchanged back-and-forth, so different but still distinctly you, half-dragging him back to your room to get this over with, camera set up and recording the steps on and off while you carefully apply and style him, yet the conversation in the moments where you're talking to him instead of the camera feel so natural, flow so easily

youtuber!Nanami who hopes the camera caught the first real smile you'd given him when he comments on how skilled you clearly were, insisting on taking photos together afterwards to draw the afternoon out for even just a few more minutes after looking forward to it for so long

youtuber!Nanami who is unsure when his hand finds your waist, waiting for you to shrink back or scoff, but you lean into him, shyly smiling at the camera set up on the tripod, gradually growing more comfortable until you're posing and putting his hands on you

youtuber!Nanami who confesses by the time the photos are taken and the sun is setting below the clouds that he wants to see you again, any way you want him - a date or a doll, since he was already a desperate fool for you

physical traces that reveal just how much you truly mean to him

ft. tobio kageyama, kiyoomi sakusa, atsumu miya

KAGEYAMA, your skincare routine in his bathroom — tobio lives in a stereotypical bachelor pad; you walk into his apartment and it's the very definition of bare-bones. thin, cotton navy sheets line his bed, with one single flat pillow. he doesn't own a dining table, and instead just stands near his kitchen counter to consume his meals. he blushes and tells you that he's just a minimalist. despite it all, though, after fun nights out, you find yourself heading back to his place with him, sleepy and drunk and pouty. you wake up, instantly regretting not washing off your face, moping because "i'm so gonna break out now, tobio!" when kags visits your place, he opens his notes app to get the names of all the skincare products lining your sink. the next night out, you're being carried into his apartment, mumbling drunk incoherencies. instead of setting you down on his bed (which now has two fluffy pillows and a fruit-print comforter that he bought for you), he guides you two to his bathroom where he places you on the counter and starts trying to figure out which steps to do first to help you remove your makeup. drunk-you guides him every step of the way, and the warmth you feel in your chest and cheeks isn't from the drinks — it's from the gentle care of your boyfriend rubbing in an oil cleanser to strip off your makeup.

SAKUSA, your lipstick stains on his water bottle — kiyoomi likes everything in his life to be neat and tidy. he carries a tide pen in his pocket that he ends up using on your clothes more often than his own. he's particular with how his belongings are treated, and you know better than to mess with anything of kiyoomi's. you respect his boundaries and find his oddities endearing, but you feel so much more secure in your relationship when you realize just how loose his boundaries are when it comes to you. on a road trip, you're thirsty and he offers you his water bottle. you don't think too much about it until you finish drinking and instantly widen your eyes at the sight of pink encasing the rim — remnants of your lipgloss. before you can say anything or try to wipe it off, he reaches over and takes a swig from it without a second thought. you try telling him not to drink yet, but he just glances over at you before focusing back on the road. "why would i be bothered by that? i kiss you all the time, don't i?" it's his subtle way of telling you that what's his is yours; you don't need to walk on eggshells with him.

youtuber!Nanami who has never been left on read by a woman before, that was, until you

youtuber!Nanami who had logged onto his personal account this morning to find your profile, sending his most sincere apology for the rude behavior from himself and his fans which only seemed to piss you off more - and poof! he was blocked again

youtuber!Nanami who's really never considered he might need advice from someone like Gojo (although he did seem like he probably apologized to far more women in his lifetime) but he is floundering for any chance to fix his shortsighted behavior, begrudgingly accepts his tips to repair the situation in the form of a public apology

youtuber!Nanami who feels a little foolish sitting in front of the camera apologizing to someone who might not even see it, but the idea that his fans might do the same thing to someone else someday, harass and attack strangers over something so stupid like a subpar review pushed him to hit the post button

youtuber!Nanami who quickly realizes why he doesn't usually take advice from Gojo when the comments pouring in are defensive, on his side no matter how wrong he'd been before

youtuber!Nanami who knows he's being foolish now when he starts picking arguments back with some of the more aggressive accounts, defending you despite the unfair dogpile

youtuber!Nanami who turns comments off - noting the usernames of the worst offenders to block on all of his other accounts, even if he knew they'd just create an alt and continue

youtuber!Nanami who is at a complete loss on what to do for maybe the first time ever

youtuber!Nanami who can't help how often he checks your channel, hoping for some change, a new video or update, all your comments off and your follower count slowly rise just to drop again while he stays up half the night to watch through every video you've ever posted

youtuber!Nanami who makes a second review for the sewing machine he hadn't returned yet a few days later, using your tips this time and referencing your video while he tailors one of his old work shirts, reiterating the fact that he was wrong and you were right, looking into the lens like you were the only one looking back at him

youtuber!Nanami who didn't think he'd ever feel so grateful to wake up to find out he's been unblocked - a hope he hadn't expected taking hold in his heart that maybe you'd let him find a way to apologize properly this time

He's completely dumbfounded. He always thought he'd have to break her little heart one day, that she won't be able do draw that line - come to terms with the fact that he won't give her the future she wants. Yet, there is a feeling of pride in his chest that he cannot ignore. He ruffles her hair and chuckles at her usual antics later in the evening.

Still, that night he stays awake, he has much to think about. All the while he holds her body tight against his own, the weight and warmth having become so familiar he could barely imagine a future without this.

youtuber!Nanami who only started making videos of product reviews after buying some shitty speaker for his work laptop that didn't deserve a single one of the 4.8 stars it received online, only intending to upload a few here and there after purchasing something that failed to match its description

youtuber!Nanami who isn't entirely unaware of the audience he attracts, responding politely to each (incredibly thirsty) comment left with a curt thank you, but is oblivious to how each interaction only encourages them more

youtuber!Nanami who starts getting sent items (and fanmail) for his reviews, his occasional weekend hobby turning into a second job, and eventually, his full time occupation, thanks to his growing army of fans (and Gojo)

youtuber!Nanami who checks his direct messages one afternoon to see something he hadn't before - a scalding paragraph insulting him for leaving a terrible review for some sewing machine he refused to recommend in his newest video on a few days ago, insisting that if he had actually bothered learning how to use it, he wouldn't of had any issues

youtuber!Nanami who can feel the crease forming between his brow, fighting a frown when he replies back as politely as possible that he does know how to use one, and it's not his fault if something is poorly designed

youtuber!Nanami who can admit when he's wrong (but only if he's actually is), bickering back-and-forth with you until you call him an unethical asshole who can't even do the bare minimum amount of research before reviewing a product

youtuber!Nanami who clicks on your profile to find it's filled with photos of you in heavy makeup and clearly custom-made costumes, with a link leading to a much smaller channel than his own, although your latest video dated a week ago was a review and tutorial for the same sewing machine

youtuber!Nanami who watches the whole thing, the first little pricks of doubt itching at the back of his brain when you so easily explain away all the things he complained about, showing off your skills working on some intricately-designed dress and offering a kind smile at the camera while you did it

youtuber!Nanami who already feels bad before he scrolls down to the comments just to see insane accusations and insults all intermingled with his name from fans who must've found your video first and spread it around just because what? you simply had a different opinion than him?

youtuber!Nanami who deletes his review first - although he doesn't know how to repair the damage without accidentally inciting even more hate towards you

youtuber!Nanami who is about to apologize directly to you just to discover you blocked him

but then something strange happens. in the golden age of social media, where every little subtle move means something huge, a simple tap on the screen just might save you.

character, who’s notorious for being offline and hasn’t followed anyone on his supposedly team-ran social media accounts, ends up changing his following from 0 to 1.

that one person? it’s you.

you’re not sure what he’s playing at, but you do know that the one man you’ve spent years being irritated by just might be your one and only saving grace.
