#i think I've only used Kasuga's name once for a fic and it was unfortunately used by her father

Random thought occurred to me on the way back from work. Kinda random, but I had to make a musing-essay on it.

We joke about how Nomoto and Kasuga never call each other by their first names, but I realized they kept this streak going even when it would've made sense to actually use their first names??

I can't help but give props to the drama version for keeping it up, too. Curry party, Nomoto has trouble addressing Kasuga? I originally laughed because she was still new to having a girlfriend ("what do I call her??") But now I realize she couldn't even say Kasuga's name lmao. Kasuga ends up finishing the introduction to Yako properly

Even Japanese fanworks keep up the lack-of-name streak, actually. It's still just "Nomoto-san" and "Kasuga-san," even if the work takes place after they move in together.

Heck, even I can't personally do anything with them using first names. It feels...weird right now lmao. Do you all get that feeling, too? Or are you on Nagumo and Yako's side (former giving them the firstname-chan names and the latter at least addressing Nomoto by first name)?
