  Summary

  Naoya Zenin is a misogynist with a tongue piercing, a superiority complex, and a problem: he might actually care about you. You’re a Special Grade sorcerer, a feminist, a teacher, and apparently the only person dumb enough to keep sleeping with him. It was supposed to be casual. Then you were shot.

  Mostly Naoya POV or close Naoya POV. Some You POV sections. You can read this as a Naoya/Reader fic or you can read it as an OC with a You POV. Read it however makes you comfy but know that "you" has a personality. This fic isn't complete. The first arc is done (Hospital - Estate). There will be bonus chapters. The second ARC (estate time) is being written.

  This fic started life as Arrangement - messy, chaotic, “just vibes” version I originally posted on AO3. It was mostly me writing straight into the void at 2am. It also started as a short story. This story is the “what if I actually edited and put some thought into it” and also "look she took creative writing classes and got herself a beta" version. Basically: Arrangement walked so this story could run (into traffic). The smut chapters will be labelled.
