Nanami Kento One Shot Collection

The Moon Is Beautiful, Isn't It?

It was another boring Saturday. I am supposed to be going out today but Nanami is locking me up while he's out there with the guys chasing demons. He said I should stay at home if I am not with any of them because I am the main target. I couldn't blame them. They just wanted to protect me. And I thought I will be staying at Jujutsu Tech but turns out, I am staying at Nanami's. He's hardly home so most of the time, I am always alone. But he provided me everything. Internet, mint chocolate ice cream, books, TV, and such to keep me out of boredom. And I have been staying here for a month now. But when he's home, we would go watch movies together, eat, and play games. I must say, he looks handsome when he smiles and laughs.

It was already night time. I went to bed early after eating dinner and then I heard the front door opened. I went out and greeted him.

"Hi!," but he just walks past me.

"Did you eat?," he asked. He is always this cold.

"Uhm yeah," I said while following him in the kitchen, "do you want me to cook for you?"

"No need. I already ate. You should go to bed," he said while putting the groceries on the table.

"Do you want my help?"

"No," and I went to bed after he said that sternly. I know he is always like that. He always talks like that. No biggie.

But I didn't sleep though. I still watched TV until I am craving for ice cream. I went out of the room quietly. I didn't turn on the light so Nanami wouldn't have to go downstairs and scold me. I grab a spoon and ice cream, and sat on the table while looking out of the window.

The moon was shining so bright while stars are twinkling around it. I sat there eating while admiring the midnight sky. And then I heard him entering the kitchen. I waited for him to notice me but it seems he didn't. I guess it is really that dark. And there I saw him on his blue sleeves and slacks, pouring himself a coffee. He leaned on the counter as he sipped on his cup when I spoke.

"Couldn't sleep?"

Then we looked at each other. "Me too," I added.

"Then you shouldn't eat ice cream."

"You shouldn't be drinking coffee too."

And he scoffed. He went towards me and leaned on the refrigerator so we could be face to face.

"Why couldn't you sleep?," he asked.

"Got bored and I get to sleep in the afternoon so," I shrugged.

We went silent and then he spoke again, "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" while looking at me.

I looked at him, shocked. I knew what that meant but does he knew too? Or is it really literally he meant the moon was beautiful? But why is he looking at me instead of looking at the moon when he said that? I chose to believe the latter anyway.

"Yeah, been in love with it ever since," I said while I spoon an ice cream.

He chuckled and said, "you didn't know the meaning of that?"

"About what?" I asked. Wait, what?

"Nevermind," he said and finished his coffee, "finish that and go to sleep," and puts his cup in the sink.

As he was about to go, I spoke, "I knew."

He stopped and turned around. I closed the lid of the ice cream, put it inside the freezer and lick the spoon clean before putting it in the sink.

"I knew. I just chose to believe I didn't for I didn't want to assume," I added before walking towards him to say good night and go to bed. I was about to when he grabbed my arm to pull me towards him and kissed me fully on the lips.
