Dating Nanami Kento: A Love Story in Financial Planning Pt.1

The Human Embodiment of "I Am Not Emotionally Available, but I Will Zelle You for Lunch"

BESTIE!!!

Dating Nanami is not for the weak.

But, how did you meet your handsome corporate boyfriend, and where exactly did it all begin?

...Well...

You work at a Coffee Shop, and He's Your Most Annoying Regular...

Nanami comes in at the exact same time every morning.

Same order. Same expression. Same routine.

He does not say "Good morning."

He does not say "Thank you."

Just grabs his coffee, nods, and leaves.

Until one day?

You accidentally get his order wrong.

He pauses. Looks down at the cup.

Then... slowly looks at you.

And he looks SO UPSET. Like he's personally offended.

Nanami's frowning, adjusting his watch. "I don't drink caramel. I ordered it black."

SIR. PLEASE. 😭

You apologize, flustered, but he just sighs.

Nanami grumbles, takes a sip anyway "I suppose it's fine. Just... don't let it happen again."

And from that moment on? He remembers you.

Now, when he picks up his coffee, his eyes linger on you just a second too long.

And when he sees you flustered?

You offer a smile, an apology, but it goes unreciprocated.

Curt nods, some tight-lipped hello. No smile.

Doesn't try to make small talk, either.

Oh, but the real annoyance comes when you go out of town for two weeks, and someone else is filling in for you.

Well, upon coming back?

You notice an immediate shift in mood.

He looks annoyed when they're still at your register. He looks over his shoulder, then down at his coffee.

Like he needs to figure out what's going on.

He stares at it a bit before looking around and spotting you wiping down tables.

A split second of hesitation as you both make brief, unexpected eye contact, and then, with a sigh, he leaves the shop, a slight shake of the head.

Mhm. 😌

Oh, man. You definitely noticed it, but your co-worker, Nobara, takes the opportunity to comment, now that you are back.

Nobara leans over to whisper to you as the corporate-suited man comes in grumpier than usual, sighing and ordering his black coffee, his brow furrowed at you not standing in your usual spot by the cashier.

"Man, he REALLY misses ya!"

He WHAT?

Your brow raises, but you go back to the tasks at hand, Nobara slipping you a wink as you ignore your sudden rise in heartrate.

...

It all continues the next day. You’re at the register again and has his usual coffee ready, a small smirk on your face as you watch him walk up.

But the same, nonchalant, pouty expression appears on his face as he spots a happy face drawn on his to-go cup.

You couldn't help yourself...

His gaze flickers to you briefly, and there's an actual glare this time.

God, even angry he's so cute.

His sigh could be heard from the other side of the world as he turns toward the door. But you don't see the small smirk he wears.

You never do, when you're drawing cute doodles on his coffee cup, like the shameless little flirt that you are.

Damn. At least you tried to engage.

The next week goes on much of the same, until finally?

Finally, he gives a small, sigh, rolling his eyes.

"Are you ever going to stop? The drawings are annoying."

He talks. Wow.

Nanami actually stopping his entire corporate executive routine to speak? 😏

So of course, your immediate reaction is a casual: "Y-yeah! I will. Sorry, sir."

Wanting him to not find your behavior so childish.

And, god.

His response.

Because his shoulders actually sag slightly.

Like he'd been secretly hoping you would've had the balls to continue being so audacious.

"Good."

This guy.

"Good" isn't exactly encouraging you to stop. So the next morning, you've drawn a little doodle of him as well.

"And good morning to YOU, Mister Corporate Man! 😌"

L-o-l 💕

Even he, the walking definition of resting-bitch-face, can't hide the fact he's trying hard not to smile.

He let out a small low chuckle. And when he finally looks up at you, with his big beautiful whisky colored eyes.

"Hmmm, you as well."

Oh, Jesus Christ. This one little sentence changes EVERYTHING.

As does the way his fingers linger on your own as he hands you money.

"Keep the change."

Oh, his fingertips lightly brushing your palm.

My Lord. 🥴

No, calm down. He’s just being courtesy This was the first time he acknowledged your presence and not even in an irritated manner.

His next few visits you offer a nod or wave, smiling kindly at him.

One time?

A quick, casual, "Good morning." He said smoothly.

God. Is this man flirting? With you???

Um, well. Okay. It's probably best you don't assume his motives. Or try to overanalyze what he means by a simple 'good morning.'

Right. Right. Best to play it safe and casual, because the last thing you want is to read the situation wrong and embarrass yourself.

And yeah, if his smiles become just a bit friendlier as the days pass, and the occasional chats a bit longer, it's all for casual, platonic fun.

That's cool, right?

It's NOT a big deal, you tell yourself as Nobara mentions the extra time Nanami seems to be spending at the café nowadays.

And definitely not a big deal when Nobara mentions he may just have a little, 'thing', for you.

No. Big. Deal.

Then why is your heart skipping a beat at these mere, PLATONIC thoughts.

And why were are you starting to have daydreams about him?

G-o-d. Get a hold of yourself. This is a no-go, buster.

Then comes your chance, and it happens rather organically.

One day you've been talking to your co-worker about saving money, since the holiday season was coming up you have been pulling double shifts at the cafe for some extra spending cash.

Well, Nanami is his usual, subtle, but there, self is listening while you prepare his order, offering a quiet, "have you ever thought about having an accountant take a look at your expenses, maybe? See if there's room for improvement?"

No way. He actually talked to you about a topic, other than his drink, today???

Oh, jeez, is he taking interest in you? Is that what this is?? 😛 Mm.

His offer catches you completely off-guard. It's not weird or intrusive. You didn't even know he heard you chatting with Nobara.

With an uncomfortable chuckle, you said, "any accountant is kinda outside of my paygrade at this time in my life. It's whatever, though, I can cut back. Not a huge issue."

Your lips are curling up into a kind, almost sad, smile as you say this, trying to assure him everything is just fine, even if your credit is crummy and you work hard just to be a float away from going into a lot of debt.

You're chill.

Of course, he listens intently, sizing you up quietly, looking at the way you handle his money, not because he's suspicious or rude but because he's a critical observer and hates when people, especially cute ones, do things for less-than-great reasons.

He notices a lot about you. The way you added an extra shot of espresso to his cup. Or the way you hold out the small container of cream, and already have a straw handy for him so that he doesn't have to ask.

It's sweet.

Really, honestly, sweet.

Too sweet for him.

When you pass his to-go cup toward him, he makes a small, thoughtful humming sound as he hands you his business card.

"Take this. Email me. We can set an appointment—I won’t charge you—and can meet outside of office hours."

He... wants to... have... a... meeting... with you????

But, no, not that kind of meeting, dum-dum. He is offering you financial planning advice. Free.

Which is, absolutely mind-blowing, because he knows this service will cost quite a pretty penny.

Unless this is all some ploy so he can spend more time alone with you.

SIRRR.😮‍💨

No. No. Business and pleasure are two separate things. He's being legit and you shouldn't assume ulterior motives, and yet...

God. His business cards are nice.

Ohhhh. My. God.

He did this so casually, too. Like, is he reading your mind? Because the gears inside are going absolutely a-fricken-mazing.

His voice, deep yet soft.

Kind.

And his little smile.

You grab at his business card with the biggest, dumb grin on your face.

Oh, okay. Um.

What was this about financial planning, now?

Well, when you look down at the card, you see "Financial Advisor and Accountant - Nanami Kento."

His number and email is typed underneath.

If this man wasn't just full of surprises?!

"Mr. Nanami," you sputter, looking at his name. "Kento, uh. Yeah! That's your full name."

"Um... yes." There's the hint of another small chuckle in his voice and when his brown eyes flicker to yours, there's mirth there, behind the light contact.

Wait, and he's got his sleeves pushed up to his forearms today.

Um. Wait.

Arms???? Muscles????

Alright. Hold on, timeout.

Because, it's there, and your entire world is shifting?

Your brows raise just a tad, staring at those, umm, nice looking arms for just a millisecond too long.

He works out????

Because, honestly. Damn.

How did you not see this sooner?

He definitely works out. Like. A lot.

Can't exactly have those biceps hidden underneath that blazer and slacks.

Mm-kay, Y/N, stop it. Don't be creepy. He's offered free financial planning and you're standing there in stunned silence ogling him.

Then you truly realizing you're ogling.

COUGH, COUGH

You try to change the subject quickly, clearing your throat.

"Umm thank you...I um here it's on me." You grabbed an apple danish from the display case.

"Have something for ya...er you... i-in exchange! As a thank-you!!" You said, extending the pastry forward toward him.

There's no pause or hesitation as he gently takes the dessert from your hands, and then gives a quick, simple nod.

"Thank you. Until later," he says in that low, soft rumble.

And off, he's gone.

More to come darlings💅 Next up: Part two on how you started dating your human calculator.

Incredible new guy just dropped... and we have an update as well:

Image ID three screenshots from two separate posts on Reddit from the same user, the first, dated two days ago reads:

So, this happened a few days ago, and I’m still trying to process it. For context, I (28F) have been with my BF (30M) for about 2 years. We live together, and I’ve always done most of the cooking because I genuinely enjoy it, and he claims he can’t “even boil water” without setting off the smoke alarm.

The other night, I made one of our favorite meals, and while we were eating, he got a weird smirk on his face. He then says, “You know, I’ve been taking notes.” I laughed, thinking he was joking, but then he said, “No, really. I made a presentation.”

I still thought it was a joke until he got up, connected his laptop to the TV, and opened a PowerPoint titled “Improving Our Home Dining Experience.” I was in disbelief as he went slide by slide critiquing my dishes: “Slide 1: Too Much Garlic,” “Slide 2: Pasta Consistency,” “Slide 3: More Salt, Less Sass.”

The kicker was Slide 8, which was just a photo of Gordon Ramsay facepalming with the caption, “What he’d think.”

I was stunned. I told him if he had such detailed opinions, he should cook himself. He tried to backtrack, saying it was “all in good fun” and that he was “just trying to help.” But I wasn’t laughing. I haven’t cooked since, and now he’s been living off cereal and takeout. He’s sulking, saying I’m overreacting and “ruining the joke.”

So, Reddit, AITA for refusing to cook after my BF presented me with a PowerPoint critique of my cooking?

Edit: Thanks for all of your comments and support, I just posted an update!! End first post. The second post, dated today reads:

Hey, Reddit! So, it’s been a wild ride since I posted my original story about my (now ex) boyfriend’s infamous PowerPoint presentation critiquing my cooking. I can’t thank you enough for all the support, laughs, and even the outrage on my behalf. Buckle up, because here’s the follow-up you didn’t know you needed.

After reading your comments and taking some time to process what happened, I decided that our relationship needed a serious talk. I sat him down to discuss how his presentation came across as not just unfunny, but pretty disrespectful. You know, typical mature relationship stuff.

Well, what does he do? He smirks and goes, “Oh, I was prepared for this!” He actually grabs his laptop, connects it to the TV again, and presents me with another PowerPoint titled “How to Take a Joke: A Comprehensive Guide.”

Yes, folks, he made a whole slideshow explaining why I needed to learn how to “chill out” and “appreciate humor.” Slide 1 featured a meme of a clown putting on makeup with my name plastered over it. Slide 2? A bullet point list titled, “Why Your Overreaction is Hilarious.” Slide 3 was titled, “How I’m Clearly the Comedian in this Relationship.”

At this point, I was too stunned to speak. But then he pulled out Slide 6: “Things You Can Do While Not Cooking (Because You’re Mad).” The audacity, right? It was as if he really thought he’d win me over with this next-level presentation. Spoiler alert: he did not.

So, I did what any rational, PowerPoint-loving person would do. I made my own. I stayed up all night crafting a presentation called “Why It’s Time to Move On: A Farewell Guide.” It had everything: flowcharts mapping his incompetence in the kitchen, pie charts illustrating my happiness before and after “The Great Presentation Debacle,” and my personal favorite—Slide 9, a GIF of Gordon Ramsay yelling: „GET OUT!”

This morning, I sat him down and went through my PowerPoint with the same energy he had given me. His reaction was priceless. He started with that same smirk but lost it somewhere around Slide 4: “Top Ten Reasons You’re Moving Out Today.” By the time I got to the “Resources for Finding Your Own Apartment” slide, he was packing a bag.

Now, before anyone worries, yes, he did actually leave. And no, I didn’t even have to threaten him with Slide 12, which was just a photo of me blocking the Wi-Fi router.

So, yeah, we broke up, and I’m single, happy, and cooking meals for myself without any critique except my cat’s judgmental stare. And to those who said I should make a “breakup PowerPoint,” just know your wish has been fulfilled…

I still can’t believe how all of this went down over the course of one single weekend. But I now feel pretty good about myself. Thanks for all of your comments and support!

PS: Oh, and fun fact, some of you were right: he actually is a business consultant, so making PowerPoint presentations is quite literally his day job. I guess he took “bringing work home” to a whole new, unwelcome level.. End ID.

Old Chinese as an Inflectional Language: With Evidence from the Personal Pronoun System

[cyberlotic]

Shiva

Shiva's story was a tapestry woven with threads of mystery and pain, their past a labyrinth of forgotten memories and hidden scars. Born into a world of magic and wonder, Shiva's early years were marked by the gentle caress of fire and the whispered secrets of the wind.

As a young dragon mage, Shiva possessed a power that few could rival, their mastery over flames and shadows a testament to their innate talents. Yet, their childhood was anything but idyllic, for they were haunted by the specter of a past shrouded in darkness.

From a young age, Shiva's life was defined by trauma and loss. The memories of their early years were a blur, lost to the depths of their mind like shards of broken glass scattered upon the wind. All they could recall were fleeting glimpses of fire and pain, their past a fractured mosaic of half-remembered dreams and whispered nightmares.

The fire symbols that adorned their tongue and tail were a constant reminder of the trials they had endured, the scars of their past etched into their very being. But it was the strange cult branding at the base of their neck that haunted them most, a symbol of a past they could not escape.

Forced to wander the world alone, Shiva drifted from place to place, seeking solace amidst the chaos of their fractured memories. They forged fleeting connections with those they met along the way, their heart yearning for a sense of belonging that always seemed just out of reach.

But despite the pain that haunted them, Shiva remained resilient, their spirit unbroken by the trials of their past. They embraced their identity as a dragon mage, harnessing the power of fire and shadow to carve a path through the darkness that threatened to consume them. <3

YALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANNOTATIONG BOOKS YOU READ FOR SCHOOL‼️ There is NOTHING more enjoyable than writing a journal entry and seeing what I highlighted and commented on. Like yes past me, I agree that Trevor Noah’s dad is a cutie pie. Of course past me, Scout DID just say an insane response to Atticus. Just sm fun, it’s a great way to bring back the fun part of reading into school.

Chasing a traitor or saving a hero? Hunter and prey are forced to work together to save the US from a possible nuclear attack from foreign elements wishing to change the geopolitical landscape and America’s standing as leader of the free world.

Just finished reading The Churn, not knowing what it was going to be about until I opened to the first page. (Spoilers ahead, also for Nemesis Games)

Burton? Amos origin story YESSSS

Burton calls him Tiny, a nice call back to Amos's name for Theresa

I liked learning more about Lydia, but their physical relationship is still Icky Mcsticky. I actually don't like that the way they wrote her character, the authors seem to connect sex work with an acceptance of an inceset-ish relationship.

Enjoyed the additional world building around what Basic entails

Erich and Amos are more indebted to each other than I realized by the time they get to Nemesis Games. They almost kill each other, even after saving each other's lives years before.

Poignant that Erich gives Amos the dream he had for himself (and that he leaves earth finally in Nemesis Games)

Erich is so oblivious that there are only 2 dinners for a reason lol oh no

It's more clear now why Amos has an affinity with Clarissa, how they both have accepted murdering a best friend as a means to an end. And full circle how he takes her on as an apprentice.

" People like us? We aren’t righteous. But we can pretend to be, if we want, and that’s almost the same as if it were true.” nice to see the origins of Amos' moral compass, and ties in with Holden being his "aftermarket external conscience"

My brain keeps having a hard time picturing young Amos? I haven't watched the show, and I've googled images of the tv character, but I don't think that guy looks like him. Current day Amos is bald, and young Amos has thinning hair and I just can't put it together.

REVIEW: I Hate Fairyland #6

Okay, I’ll come out and say out right out the gate. I am a huge fan of everything Skottie Young. From the baby Marvel heroes to the trade paperbacks, right down to (you guessed it), I Hate Fairyland. In my comics reading journey, few authors have been able to come close to the awesomeness that Skottie is able to create. I even have a bunch of wallpapers of his art on this very computer from which…
