"You know…I think I kind of like Kayano-san."

"…"

"…I wonder if, she likes me too…"

"…"

"Hey, Karma. How…do I talk to her?"

"…what?"

"I want to tell Kayano-san how I feel."

The red haired boy turned his head to look at his friend. They were both laying in his room, having a sleepover on a school night. "I don't know, Nagisa. Are you thirsty? I'm going to get some water." He stood up and smiled down at the bluenette.

"Not really."

"Alright then, I'll be right back."

Is something wrong with Karma…? He's never ignored my questions before, or acted like so uninterested… Nagisa laid down on the carpet, looking at the ceiling. Maybe he's had bad experiences with girls, or maybe…he likes Kayano-san too…? Karma came back into the room. Maybe I should apologize. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings.

"Hey Karma, sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything."

The red head looked at Nagisa and smirked behind his glass of water. "What do you mean? I'm not uncomfortable. I enjoy hearing about your love stories, Nagisa."

"Really? Well, do you like anyone?

"Of course."

"What? You never told me! Who is it?"

"Hmm…it's someone super cute, smart, sexy, and is a really good assassin."

"So, it's Kanzaki-san huh?"

"Maybe."

"I knew it."

"Haha."

Nagisa got into the spare futon and Karma got into his bed. They laid there for a moment, after finishing their conversations, and began to fall asleep.

"Hey, Nagisa."

"Yeah?"

"Are you cold?"

"Not really."

The smaller boy had his back away from other. This is how their sleepovers always went, with Nagisa falling asleep first and Karma laying in his bed, thinking of who knows what while watching the calming, even breathing of his classmate. "…I am."

Nagisa turned over to face Karma. Looking into his beautiful golden eyes with radiant blue. "Do you want my blanket?"

"You'll freeze."

"You're cold right? It's fine. I'm usually ok at night."

"Then, how about you join me?" Karma lifted his blanket as his offering gesture. His beautiful smile, loose white t-shirt, knee-length shorts, and disheveled red hair made Nagisa's heart start pounding a bit harder. Why am I getting nervous…? He sighed and climbed over his bed and under Karma's extended arm. Karma had the cutest grin on. "Thanks Nagisa, wow...you really are warm."

Nagisa was glad to be facing the other way, or Karma would definitely have made fun of his deep blush. The feeling of warmth from another person against his back was one Nagisa had never felt before, and it was making his heart beat so hard, he was afraid Karma would hear it. He was warm, but it was nice, not overwhelming. Karma wasn't cold at all, oh well…maybe he was lonely. After a while, when he thought Karma was asleep, he flipped over slowly to face the taller boy. His sleeping face was so lovely, without any of the harsh lines of smirks and evil grins. Karma looked peaceful and sweet, like an angel assassin. His face looks so beautiful…is it even real? Nagisa reached out a hand, and extended his finger out to lightly touch Karma's cheek, and then quickly withdrew. He didn't wake up. Nagisa reached out again and touched his eyelid. Karma's eyes are always gleaming with mystery and mischief, but right now he is completely vulnerable... The blue-haired boy placed his hand on Karma's cheek, and, for some strange compelling reason, brushed his thumb lightly over his lips. Soft…When Nagisa looked up, his gaze was met by a slightly opened pair of gold. Faster than his teacher could probably move, he withdrew his hand and blushed like mad.

"What'cha up to, Nagisa?"

"Ah, I-I was just…you had something on your face!"

"Oh really?" Karma's sexy smirk was back on his face, the angelic assassin was replaced by the devil himself. Nagisa covered his own face in embarrassment.

"…Sorry, I was just curious."

Karma leaned in closer to Nagisa's face, still smiling cooly. When Nagisa peaked out from behind his finger, he almost shouted in surprise. Karma was about one inch away from him, looking directly into his eye. "You can touch me if you want, I don't care…but, in return I get to touch you too, Nagisa. How does that sound?" Wow, so different from before…I think I woke up the devil.

"What…?"

"You heard me." Suddenly Karma shifted himself so he was holding himself above Nagisa, his hair falling downwards. He brought himself down and leaned his lips toward Nagisa's ear, "Do we have a deal?" He whispered.
