We're On In 3, 2, -! NANA X READER

One Or The Other, Never Both

Nana Komatsu & Takumi Ichinose x Fem!Reader

Note: Takumi isn't good at having poly relationships, he's too controlling and manipulative. It's nothing more than forcing your partner to be okay with cheating.

C|TW: emotional abuse, sexual coercion, forced relationship {poly},

    When he decided to take you as a wife too he knew exactly how that'd affect Nana. She's not against poly relationships but she knows that her emotions won't allow her to have a healthy one. She's quick to feel left out or neglected, doesn't want to feel like she's competing for love, and just can't stand the thought of her husband loving someone else. That's why she's content with monogamy. Yet here you are, being introduced as Takumi's second lover.

    She wanted to cry, scream, or walk out after he said that you're going to be a part of their lives now. But all she could do was nod silently, knowing that he'd get his way regardless of how she felt. Since you weren't moving in, Nana assumed that'd make it easier for her to forget that another woman has her husband's attention. She learned the hard way that Takumi would bring you up any time she was getting on his nerves.

    When Nana isn't in the mood for sex Takumi would ask if he should go to you, since you're always eager to please him. The sick bastard knows it ignites fear in her. That she believes that he'll spend more time with you if she refuses to satisfy him.

    When Nana complains that his work always keeps him away from her, never giving them the chance to have a date or a nice night together Takumi brings you up. Telling her that you're never whining about his job and have enough sense to know what comes with dating a busy man.

    Nana can't help but feel envious of you. You must be having a lot of fun getting Takumi at his best, probably only receiving his soft, caring side that he'd rarely show her. She'd give anything to be in the honeymoon stage with Takumi again. She doesn't know that her husband isn't any softer when it comes to you.

    Admittedly, Takumi can be more romantic around you, his beautiful new bride. His patience doesn't wane quickly when you're having trouble understanding his needs or expectations of you. Ever so soft until you ask the right questions about his motives and priorities. Suddenly you're being a bit ungrateful for someone that's joining his relationship. Coincidentally leaving your side for almost two weeks, not bothering to answer your calls.

    You learn that if you want the relationship to be sweet again you'd have to play along with Takumi's fantasy, allowing him to move freely. It's much too late to return to the brief honeymoon period of being spoiled with his riches since you've already upset him though. He's already decided to drop the act and give you a more "genuine" experience.

    Coming and going as he pleases, barely letting you know when he's going to come see you again. Even though Takumi switches between the houses, since he bought them, he is still particular about how you're maintaining them. You can't go rearranging and decorating without his permission and you definitely shouldn't be inviting people over, he needs to permit you.

    Don't think for a second he'd allow you to maintain healthy relationships outside of your relationship. You heard how he isolated Nana and practically bullied her into putting him above her friends, though he never did the same. Hopefully you're able to ignore his temper tantrums and remain in contact with your friends. You'll need to be around people that brighten your mood and allow you to be yourself without limitations. At least then your new life won't be completely miserable.

    Just as he used you as a threat to Nana, he'd do the same to you. At every minor inconvenience, he drops her name to see how you'd react. Would you tense up the way she does, scared he'd go to her when you stand up for yourself? Are you going to beg him to stay, promising not to become a problem? If so, Takumi now has another way to manipulate you into becoming another obedient wife. Reminding you that he could easily end this relationship, maybe having two wives isn't for him?

    You harbor no hate for Nana even though Takumi uses her against you. Nana wants to hate you for joining their marriage but she just can't bring herself to do it. She's more than aware of Takumi's manipulative ways, there's no telling what he said to make you comfortable marrying him. Either way, both of you wonder how the other is fairing when Takumi is with you. Sometimes you're both relieved to have a bit of breathing room when he isn't around, or you're both wondering if he's going to finally choose one to stay with for good.
