[ Yuji sees the familiar bio and name show up, but the code name is different, so… Is he…? ]

[ He was bored and went stalking the directory once again and noticed .... a new person on it. ]

Did you just arrive?

When is your next evening off?

nanamin.

nanamin. where are you.

( Just ... testing ... )

You've made Itadori cry, so if you are actually missing I'll save kicking your ass until we find you again.

Na-na-minnn.

[ it's only nth time he's said the name now, has said it so much in the last 18,623 seconds that it barely feels like a word anymore, but he keeps on because if he stops he's sure, he's dead fucking certain he'll go mad. ]

I'ss oh-kay. I'm still here. Na-na-min.

hey nanamin
i have something for you.

[ Early in the morning on the 31st of October: ]

nanamin

nanamin r u awake

( At an unfortunate hour of the morning, and possibly with no expectatio of a reply. )

I wish you would have told me what happened to you.

anyway where are you?

[ At some point during the great Christmas party of yore: ]

Free?

( In the middle of one of Nanami's outside adventures comes rainbow dragon. There is no hesitancy in its approach, no fear when it slinks down to the jujutsu sorcerer. It drops a carefully held giftbag to the ground before the man, then whips itself back up into the sky. Inside is a few wrapped gifts - an mp3 player that Geto has absolutely added the worst music to ( and some more calming tunes, he still does worry, thank you ), an eye mask, a plushie because they're all idiots, a box of pastries, and a very strong whiskey. There's a note, but all that says is 'It looks like you :)' and nothing more. )

[ Come Christmas day, there are some gifts left for Nanami to find on his doorstep, wrapped up in yellow paper with black dots on it. The amount of effort Yuji put in to finding the paper is probably embarrassing to think about, but he managed it all the same.

Inside the box is a series of gifts:

🐯 A tie, similar to the one that Nanami used to wear, but more pastel - but definitely high quality, a little bit fancy.
🐯 What could be described as a giant jumper, but it's probably around the right size for Nanami to wear, in a dark green colour (avoiding his usual blue, just in case).
🐯 Some notebooks and pens, actual paper versions, that he bought a while ago and never managed to give to him.
🐯 A polaroid, of Yuji and Gojo together, giving a peace sign at the camera.
🐯 Pair of plushes, one a cat and one a tiger, where the cat is wearing cool green sunglasses.

There's also a note attached:

Nanamin,

I know you didn't want to come back. I know that you might have been happier if you'd never come here at all, and that you'd been allowed to stop. But I'm glad every single day that you came back, that I got to see you again and spend more time with you. I never got to tell you how important you were to me, or how happy I was that I was able to meet you and learn from you, so I'm going to tell you now before I run out of time.

Thank you, for teaching me, and being there for me, and supporting me. I know you're not a teacher, but you don't need to be.

You're Nanamin.

- Yuji. ]

[ Delivery via courier, but not on Wednesday. Just sometime. Inside the bag is a bottle of sake with a card with the date for the meeting he requested Silco to arrange.

It's unsigned but you know. Obvious. ]

nanamin
i remember

sleepy

nanamin i need someone to make me be sensible right now
and you’re the most sensible person i know
help

i’m staying with you
this is not a request

[ exactly one week after the Outsiders have returned from the Underworld, a message pops up from a ~~curse~~man who has spent that time comatose. until now. ]

nanami?

nanamin
get packed

[ Late in the day on July 3, a package is left at Nanami's door. There's no note on the outside of it, but once the package's contents are examined, it will give away just who exactly has gone through the effort (as if it wasn't already obvious). The wrapping paper itself is a soft pastel yellow, and inside is a box. Inside the box? A series of gifts:

🐯 One very expensive bottle of Daiginjo sake, helpfully purchased on his behalf by Silco, who has a high enough opinion of Nanami to get the good stuff.
🐯 A pair of sake cups, just in case he wants to drink it with someone.
🐯 Some luxury chocolates (not the handmade stuff that Yuji attempted in the past).
🐯 A recipe book, boasting different recipes of breads from around the world, for beginners and professionals.
🐯 Vouchers for paid mini breaks - paid for dinner, time at the VR studio, some random things like cinemas and anywhere else he thought Nanami would like to do.
🐯 A range of nice teas and coffees, alongside a handsome thermos and a teacup set. Just in case.

At the bottom, there's a little note on a piece of paper, in Yuji's handwriting: "There's a cake in the fridge in the cafeteria when you're back." Should Nanami go and find the cake, he'll find a little thing in a box, with some wonky icing and decoration, with "Happy Birthday Nanami" written on the top in shaky letters. It's clearly home made. ]

( Left at his door is a small giftbag, inside there's a very homemade cd, the likes of which Nanami will remember from their youth. There's a tracklist, in Geto's easy scrawl, and he's even added little black star stickers to it. Alongside it is a bottle of the most potent liquor he could find, and a K100 giftcard to a bakery that does different kinds of desserts. The card is a plain one, but there's a note in it -

Happy Birthday, I did a little digging and while the songs aren't ones you'll remember they match the vibe of the music you used to listen to, so hopefully they're fun. Have a night off, make poor choices.

- Geto. )

Yo, Nanami? I hope I got the right guy.

[He's been searching for Nanami's user name for a few minutes before breaking down and just asking Yuji.]

That corpo-slave name threw me off a bit, but you're Nanami, right?
