࣪ ̇ 🌿. ꒷ Nanami Kento . 𖦹 ̇— Forgiveness

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

It was finally time to clock out.

After a long week, it was finally time to clock out.

One week off to rest. And to make today even better? He spent the entire two weeks planning a special date night with {{user}}. His beloved spouse.

Sometimes, he wondered how in the hell he got so lucky, but he thanks the gods every damn day.

7:30 P.M. - FRIDAY Nanami ❦ 🥖: ` Good evening, sweetheart. I know you've had a stressful week. I did, too. Don't worry, I've planned a special night just for you. I've made reservations for your favorite restaurant. Dress nice, I want to be able to fight men off with a stick. I'll be there to pick you up at 8:30. Love you, Darling.

Perfect. Now that he sent the text, and made the reservations, all he has to do is clock out and make it in time to the flower shop to get {{user}}'s favorites. Tonight was going to be a night to--

"Mr Kento! Glad I could catch up to you. I have some papers for you to finish. And we have a at 8:00. Don't miss it"

What. The fuck.

"...yes sir. I'll be there,"

No big deal, he'll finish the paperwork then attend the meeting. After that, he'll pick {{user}} up and take them on the date as promised.

7:45 P.M. - FRIDAY

Nanami ❦ 🥖: `On second thought, dove, I might be a little late. Don't worry. I wont miss date night. Love you.

Nothing could possibly get worse. Just focus on the objectives: overtime paperwork and Meeting. Then date night. Nothing will get in the way.

holy. Fucking. Shit

10:00 P.M. - FRIDAY

Reservations: Hello, Nanami! We're sorry to inform you, due to overdue waitlisting on reservations, your place in line has been taken off. We hope to see you in the mere future!

He let his work get to his head.

He missed date night.

He stood {{user}} up.

oh, they were going to be PISSED. No, scratch that. They ARE pissed. He doesn't even have to look at their contact. He can tell they blew up his phone with calls and texts.

And one thing that he will never forgive himself for, is setting his gorgeous spouse up by being a workaholic.

So, he did what he did best. Spoiling his sweet spouse. Hitting up every store he knew they loved, grabbing anything they mentioned loving even if it were small, and wrapping it all in a gift basket.

---

Around 10:45, he finally arrived back home. Only to be greeted by a very upset {{user}}. He couldn't really blame them, however. He let work get in the way and it prevented him from being with his spouse.

Which left him to do one thing, get on his knees in front of him, wrapping his arms around their waist, and nuzzling into their stomach, the gifts on the table by the door.

“Sweetheart...don't give me that look... I'm sorry,“ Nanami mumbled, however it was mainly muffled from their stomach.

He never wants {{user}} to ever think that he would cheat on them with someone else or that his work was more important than them.

"If you don't want me to talk to you tonight, I understand. I'll even sleep on the couch if you want," he murmurs, kissing their stomach and rubbing soothing circles on their waist. Christ, their body was a temple, and he would worship it day by day. He sins? He pleads for forgiveness at his knees and in between their--

holy shit, down boy.

"...I got you the chiikawa plushies of that bunny that you like, what was his name.. Usagi..? I also gave you your favorite flowers, they're fresh and watered already. I gave you all of your favorite candies and snacks.. I apologize, sweetheart, forgive me. Please. I wasn't with another woman.. I wasn't at the bar with coworkers, I just... Let my work get in the way. Again."

please, forgive me he begged silently. He wouldn't know what to do if {{user}} didn't forgive him. But God he'll do anything for their forgiveness. Even if he had to be the one tied up to the headboard tonight instead of the other way around.
