"yo nanami, we're about to head to gojo's party! where are you?! hello?" haibara banged on the door to nanami's bedroom. a groan was heard from the other side and soon, a shirtless nanami appeared in the doorway.

"what? i was just about to get things started." he moved his eye in the direction of his bed. a pretty short brunette girl sat on it, looking at her phone. she looked up and smiled, waving at haibara. he rolled his eyes and looked at nanami, he knew this man probably didn't know her name.

"i thought i told you there was gonna be a party at gojo's? forget it, are you even coming?"

"oh damn. yeah, i kinda forgot. i'll be ready in 5." nanami grabbed the girl who was on his bed and pushed her out the door with haibara. "hey, you gotta go. if you go to gojo's party, i'll see you there."

haibara, being used to nanami's behavior, escorted her out the room. nanami grabbed the first things he saw in his closet and threw it on without bothering to see what it looked like together. a leather jacket with a tight shirt, baggy jeans and sneakers was what he wore.

nanami kento was the most well sought out senior at tokyo jujutsu college. besides the fact that he was wildly attractive, he was one of the best male singers in the school. anyone, who met him was instantly intrigued; both guys and girls included. nanami had the ability to stare into your soul and make you fall in love with his charm. he used this to his full capability and he planned to use his charm tonight at gojo's party.

nanami and his group of friends, haibara, gojo, shoko and utahime have been friends since high school. from the moment they all met, they have been inseparable. everyone in college wanted them and wanted to be them. since freshman year, gojo throws 2 parties annually for everyone to come and just get completely wasted. this party was the first one of the year. its 7pm, and every student was looking forward to gojo's first party tonight. gojo's parties were famous because everyone in there are either having the time of their lives or hooking up with someone, and nanami took this as the perfect opportunity to finally get some bitches.

as nanami walked towards the car, he spots utahime in the front seat with haibara and shoko in the backseat.

"no guys tonight? they always come with us," nanami teased shoko as he hops in the passenger seat.

"nah, i'm planning to meet some at the party. yuki's already there, by the way." shoko replied. this year, nanami's group of friends had a new addition: yuki. they liked her vibe and the way she fitted in with their clique, so they invited her to join. well, without nanami knowing. but he got along well with yuki too, and the rest was history.

"you got cigarettes, kento?"

"mhm, a lot." nanami revealed the two packs of cigarettes he pulled from his pocket to show them off. workin' hard by fujii kaze began blasting from the speakers. all of them started singing along to the song, preparing for the night they were about to have.

✰

"and the party is about to begin. the main event finally showed up." gojo chuckled and approached the group, holding a glass of wine in his hands. heads turned as nanami and his friends walked in. giggles from girls and murmurs from guys were heard. the idea that people were talking about them did not affect them; they didn't really care.

"some people were worried that you weren't going to show up." yuki raised an eyebrow and leaned against the wall.

"like we're going to miss this tradition? no way," utahime scoffed and took a seat on the couch. in the living room, there were many people swarming the group of friends like bees.

"wait, where's y/n?"

"she said she needed a break." yuki answered. utahime shifted her body so that shoko could sit.

"ugh, i'll go get her. i'll be back in a minute." utahime stood up and disappeared off into the crowd of people.

"who's y/n?" haibara looked at yuki but before she could respond, gojo handed him a red cup of whiskey. he did the same with all of them as he spoke.

"she's utahime's old best friend from middle school. she moved here this year to finish her year at tokyo. she actually moved into the house that was for sale on your block, nanami." gojo quickly explained while taking a sip of his wine.

"is she hot?"

nanami high fived haibara for asking the question that was on his mind. nanami thought it was kind of dumb to move to a new school in your senior year. what's the point? it didn't matter, though. tonight was about finding a new hookup for himself.

nanami cleared his throat and grinned, "well, i'm going to do what i came here to do. it isn't gojo's party if i don't leave here without a girl, right?"

everyone rolled their eyes at nanami's statement, he laughed quietly and went to the main center of attention. the dance floor. he walked to the clump of people grinding on one another and searched for the best ass to lean against. his eyes focused on this one girl who was up against another guy. nanami watched her every move as her hips hit every beat and each movements of hers was fluid. he needed to feel that.

he made his way to the girl and shoved the guy out of the way. the girl stood up straight and turned to see nanami smiling at her.

"why did you stop? come on, dance for me now."

she smirked and continued to dance on nanami. his eyes were locked onto her body, he couldn't deny that he felt at least a little attraction to this mysterious girl. they were in perfect sync with each other, it was almost as if they shared a connection. the music soon changed, the girl turned around and instantly, they both moved along to the beat of the song.

as it progressed, their bodies got closer and closer. soon, they were directly on top of each other. nanami slowly began lowering his hands from her waist.

he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "do you mind?"

she grabbed his hands and moved them down. he gripped onto her thighs and finished off the rest of the song. nanami kept trying to look at this girl's face but the strobe lights only provided so much where he could barely picture her e/c eyes.

as the song ended, nanami and the girl held onto each other for a little longer. he cupped her cheeks and placed a soft kiss on her lips, "to remember me by."

she let out a little chuckle and walked away, leaving nanami alone to burn the image of her pretty e/c eyes into his brain.

"bitch, i've been looking for you the whole night! where the hell have you been?" y/n turned her head to see her best friend utahime with a red cup.

"i felt a little tipsy so i went out for some fresh air. plus, my favourite song was playing so i danced a little and i went to find you. it's not my fault gojo has a huge ass house." y/n retorted back.

"whatever, come here. i need you to meet the rest of my friends." utahime grasped y/n by the wrist and dragged her towards the living room. y/n's heart began racing as the nerves started to emerge.

y/n met utahime at a summer camp during middle school and immediately clicked. since then, they have been best friends. recently, after her mother's job relocated her, y/n's family moved. it was amazing that she finally got to be with her best friend but moving schools in senior year of college was rough. not to mention, y/n did not want to butt into utahime's friend group; she doesn't wanna be a burden to them.

utahime finally stops and y/n sees the friend group dancing along to the song that was playing. she recognized gojo, shoko and yuki from earlier but there was one boy she didn't.

"haibara, this is my best friend, y/n. y/n, this is haibara. wait.. where is nanami?"

"girl, you know he's probably out there hooking up with someone already." yuki muttered under her breath.

"well, nanami is a friend too but he's somewhere else right now." utahime beamed.

"don't worry, i'll tell him about you. you're hot but not my type. definitely kento's though." haibara gulped down his drink and eyed y/n from top to bottom. she gave him a glare and scowled.

"don't flatter yourself. hmm... but by the looks of it," y/n's eyes scanned the room as she saw many girls gawking at haibara, "you got plenty of girls wanting your attention." haibara nodded in agreement and went to get a refill for his cup. y/n glanced towards utahime who was talking to shoko.

"hey guys, i think i'm gonna head back home. i'm really tired and i have a bunch of packing to do before monday." y/n yawned as she put her arms around shoko and utahime's shoulders.

"alright. i'll tell nanami to bring you home, he lives two houses down. hol-" before utahime could finish her sentence, y/n interrupted her.

"no, it's fine. i'll just book a taxi home. i don't wanna ruin anyone's night."

"you definitely made my night better though, y/n." shoko chuckled and kissed y/n's cheek which made her blush.

"well, okay. text me when you get home, 'kay? love you!" utahime and shoko hugged y/n goodbye. the rest of the group waved goodbye too. y/n made her way through the crowd as she began requesting a taxi to pick her up.

she stepped outside in the cold air and the sound of crickets soothed her as she sat on the curb waiting. y/n breathed in the crisp winter air as she thought about how the rest of the year plays out. y/n's plan was to stay friends with utahime and focus on college and her music. there was nothing more important to her than interning at a record label. in fact, she was dreaming of that since she was a little girl. there wasn't a soul on the planet that was going to distract her or take her away from her dream. y/n's taxi arrived and she sat at the back of the car drifting off to sleep. her house was only a couple of minutes away but she never felt comfortable at night, especially lately when she came to tokyo.

it was almost as if she had someone watching her back. like someone was following her every move.

the taxi stopped at her house at last. thanking the driver, she closed the door behind her and grabbed her keys. the bushes rustled as the wind blew. her parents and siblings were home, y/n could tell from her mother's car in the driveway and a light illuminating from their rooms. she tried to make as little noise as possible when she walked to her bedroom. she didn't bother turning on the light. y/n texted utahime like she promised, and threw everything off, including her clothes and slid into her bed.

the only thing she could think about were the lips of the stranger she danced with tonight.
