the shit norton is going through rn
norton is a great team leader he takes his job very seriously he takes pride in his work and enjoys it quite a lot. but what's fucking him up rn is his relationship that's currently falling apart and he doesn't want it to fall apart!! and he's not good at dealing with relationships either!!!

his boyfriend is two timing him (norton doesn't know though) and thats why hes been making excuses to not see him or not come over to his house. one day they meet up as promised at nortons house as they usually do, and suddenly his bf is like "we need to talk." and norton Knows what's coming. so he practically begs his boyfriend to not leave him and he promises he can do better, becuase to him it's all his fault that their relationship is falling apart.

anyway. he gets dumped, fuck that bastard, and norton doesn;t know how to deal with the stress besides taking it out on work. he doesn't bully his subordinates or anything he's just snappier than he usually is, and his work performance isnt particularly good either. he doesn't eat at work, he's losing a lot of weight.

demi, norton's boss, realizes and acknowledges that he looks like shit. so she calls him in one day to her office and shes like. how about you take a paid leave. you look like shit. and i know youre going through a breakup but jesus christ u cant keep up like this my guy!!!! that mf dont deserve you!!!

norton thinks its pointless to take a paid leave bc hes like what do i do? i don't have any hobbies. im just gonna rot in misery i'd rather go to work than do that to keep something on my mind. and demi is like donut worry. I have just The Right place for you to go on holiday. So she kicks norton out of the office and makes him pack his stuff and she books him a train ticket to somewhere norton has never heard of before.

Norton was expecting idk some kinda resort or relaxing hotel for him to stay at but instead, at the train station he was greeted by some old man who waves and hauls norton's luggage onto his old rusty truck. and norton is like. the fuck.

ok maybe this wont be as bad as i thought it will turn out..? maybe the truck is just a means of transport to get me to the great place i'll be staying at right... and suddenly they stop in front of a house located right next to a vast farm and norton's like ?????

the old man brought his luggage down and tells him to go inside the house where the house owner is waiting, and norton is even more ???????? he stares at the old truck leaving him by the house and he hears someone picking up his luggage for him. ganji introduces himself and tells norton that this is where he'll be staying for a month.

norton tries to contact demi to ask her to bring him back because Clearly this was a mistake. he did Not ask to be staying at a farm. he did Not want to stay with some random stranger and in his house, moreover. he wants to go home and plan a trip by himself. norton ends up sulking the entire day in his room and doesnt go out, trying to call demi multiple times but all he gets is a voicemail from her saying she's busy with an event and she promises the stay will be worth it.

ganji knocks on norton's door for dinner. he finds out norton is a picky eater (who doesnt like a Lot of veggies). ganji tells him to finish the veggies on his plate, and norton sulks some more. norton thinks ganji is a bossy stuck up.

norton gets woken up at 5am in the morning by ganji. when asked why, ganji looks at him like he's crazy. work, obviously. ganji replies like its a no brainer kind of question, and he leaves some farming clothes for norton to wear on the table. norton's like ??????????????????? but he gets up anyway worried he'll hear more of ganji's nagging if he doesnt get up. ganji still nags anyway at the farm bc norton is doing such a shit job.

norton finishes his portion and sees ganji nowhere to be seen. he;s like . damn this mf asking me to work outside while he's probably inside taking a nap or something!!!! and hes venting inside his head about so manyt hings; about ganji, how hes forced to do labor like this instead of the air conditioned office, how he kinda misses the sandwich and coffee he has at the store nearby he has, and suddenly he's greeted by a cold feeling behind his neck. ganji brought him a bottle of cold water and told him he left some fruits for him to eat on the table once he;s done. norton thinks he;s not that bad of a guy after all.

they get closer and eventually norton opens up to ganji. they become homies and norton drukenly talks about his awful breakup and ganji;s like....damn yeah you deserve better. anyone but that guy. and norton's like . easy for you to say. youre handsome bet its ez for you to get a girlfriend. and ganji is like..... im not into girls..

anyway. ganji isnt very well received by the people at the town. one, because he was never from the town originally, he moved there to start farming. two, the villagers found out about his fling with naib and started to ignore him and treated him horribly afterwards. naib is still headstrong when faced with that kind of treatment, but ganji is not the same. so they broke up and decided it was better to become friends, and thats why naib still takes care of ganji occasionally.

norton and ganji get along well. norton's complexion got so much better and he realizes that it msut have been a while since he felt this happy and content.


the things that make norton and ganji insecure
while both of them are kinda aware of their feelings for each other, after their first kiss, norton decides to run away because everything just starts to come back to him. the things he went through before, and how maybe after he starts a relationship with ganji, ganji might blame all the bad treatment they might get from town onto him. he can't handle that fear.

naib chases him all the way to the city and punches him in the face (jk). but sort of. naib tells him that ganji would never be that kind of person and it was only selfish of norton to conclude that on his own. norton takes the last train to go back to the small town and say sorry to ganji. they kiss and make up and fall in love. the end. gay people happy.

Pharaoh ends up in the wrong dimension and finds himself in Ganji's apartment. Ganji doesn't know who this actor is and why he's telling him to bow down. 

okay i think as a plot device as to how pharaoh ended up in the current dimension maybe ganji just has some old antique stuff lying around his apartment he got from garage sales and boom pharaoh summoned. 

i just have a lot of scenarios of them lmao:

i dont really know where to go with this i just think they are very cute

In short: ganji is obsessed with flower meanings and he thinks every florist gives a shit about them. naib, in fact, does not.

ganji stops by naib's shop (its not his, he's just working with his aunt) occasionally to get flowers for the grannies he takes care of. He asks for flower meanings and naib replies with the shit he makes up with on the spot. naib isnt very fond of ganji in the beginning bc what kind of weirdo expects florists to know those meanings, you can jsut google them lol

but since he stops by often, naib is puzzled when ganji doesnt stop by one day. so he's like huh...ok... and he doesnt show up for several weeks and naib's like ok its None of my business but Where Is He

just when naib thought he wouldnt meet ganji again, one day his aunt tells him to deliver a few bouquets to some place, and then he ends up at an old people;s home, which, coincidentally, is the place where ganji works.

they ordered flowers to celebrate some of their birthdays, and they invited naib as well and since his shift was over, he thought why not. it didnt strike to him that this was the place ganji works at, and he was nowhere to be seen anyway so naib just enjoyed his time playing bingo with the old ladies.

ganji shows up (finally) and apologizes for being late because the traffic was awful and when him and naib meet eyes they are both like ????? and ganji's like oh hello..? naib is surprised, but probably more delighted than ever (even though he doesnt particularly show it). the old ladies r like oooh u know each other? and one of them whispers to ganji splendid boyfriend youve got there my dear bc she sees their chemistry together, and its not like they dislike each other.

naib feels like an idiot for not being able to exchange numbers with ganji. 

one day ganji shows up to the florist sick, hes wearing a mask and all, but he was still going to the care center to deliver a few things and do a half day shift before passing out, so he figured he might as well get some flowers on the way. ganji looked Awful (not to mention he's been working as a proofreader as a side hustle on top of that), and when naib's aunt sees the state ganji was in she's like ??? u are not going to work in that state do not infect the old ladies w ur fever!!!! infect naib instead (jk)

anw naib's aunt is alrd familiar with ganji and treats him like family. she calls the home to have a word with the manager (lol) and tells them that ganji might not be coming in after all since his fever was awful. naib's aunt invites ganji upstairs to where their apartment was, and tells him to rest in naib's room since they have no spare rooms and the sofa would be too uncomfortable for him. naib;s aunt makes some food taht was easy to digest and leaves the rest to naib.

ganji gets a good rest and passes out for the entire day, he wakes up when it was alrd night time, and when he goes out he sees naib and his aunt having dinner. they invite ganji as well, and she tells embarrassing stories of naib to ganji just as aunts do. she packs some leftover food for ganji to bring home since he lives alone, and naib offers to drive ganji home but ganji declines.

they exchange numbers!

i dont remember a lot of things from this au imo so bear with me if it sounds too brief.

naib and william hide their relationship as gods are forbidden to have lovers (Well, some gods lol). naib, as the lead warrior for the kingdom, works under william and is one of the highest ranked officials who is allowed to see william face to face. He is always sent out on missions and also leads armies and troops. William doesn't follow but stays behind as all gods do. The period of waiting is long and dreadful, as william is not only waiting for his lover, but also his right hand mand and a victory.
