I've finally tried my hand at an Assassination Classroom fanfiction! I've always liked Karma x Nagisa (or Nagisa x Karma, either way is fine with me ;3) although I have been kind of interested in Karma x Gakushuu too... but Karma and Nagisa are easier to write :3 Anyway, I searched up some prompts and found this one~ By the way, I made Karma and Nagisa seventeen in this fic so they're in high school~ Just to make Karma more pathetic for not dating until now :'D
If any of you want, I can write some AU's you suggest or even crossovers if you want :0 I can certainly try although no promises :c But I will try! Don't be afraid to suggest something!
Karma's been through a lot of things in his life. Plenty of dirty fights, a teacher dying on him, studying so hard his head felt like it was ready to fall off. But this... this was on a whole new level.
He stood outside a homey, cozy cafe he never heard of, nervously staring inside. The hand holding his phone to his ear tightened, threatening to break the phone. He was a seventeen year old male, he should not be this nervous. Not in public at least.
"Nakamura... I'm not so sure about this." He muttered into his phone, his feet not moving his body towards the door. Instead he just stayed by the window, almost looking like a creep. He's probably scaring the people inside but he didn't care... He was having a crisis here!
"Ah geez!" He heard a female on the other side sigh. "You don't hesitate to threaten kids with a broken bottle about killing them, but you're this scared over a blind date? Wait until the others hear about this!"
"Don't you dare tell anyone about this." Karma growled, some of his normal self returning. If the others heard about this, especially Terasaka... He'd be done for.
"As if I'd give away your secret anyway." Nakamura responded. Karma could imagine her pouting, as if she wasn't like a demon like himself. "Karma Akabane, gay and scared of dates~ Who would've thought?"
"Alright alright, I'm going inside!" The redhead claimed with a heavy, irritated huff.
"Go get 'em tiger! They're definitely your type!" He heard Nakamura's voice on his phone just before he hung up. He closed his eyes, sighing as he put his phone away. He hoped she didn't pair him up with some creep...
After getting a few stares from the people walking by, he willed himself to walk inside the cafe. He looked around nervously, trying to hide his anxiety while trying to spot his blind date. Everyone there was either with a partner or their family... except one person.
He couldn't take his eyes off the boy. Light blue hair tied up, concentrated eyes on a paper in front of him... Karma tilted his head. Something was off... What was it...
His eyes moved up and down the boys sitting figure before finally figuring it out. Was he a middle schooler or something?! He was so short! It was hard to tell since the other was sitting down but on closer inspection, he probably didn't even reach Karma's shoulders.
But... It just added to his cuteness. Yes, Karma would admit this boy was pretty cute. As for look wise, Nakamura was right. He was definitely his type. However would his personality also fit the bill?
Realizing he probably looked like a fool just standing at the entrance of the cafe, he figured he should go meet his date. Putting his hands in his pocket, Karma slowly walked over. He was still crazily nervous but his signature smirk covered it well.
He stood by the table for a moment, gaining the boys attention immediately. Karma's mind raced as he tried to greet the boy. Geez, he was even cuter up close...
"Hey there," Ugh, how lame! "I'm.. Karma. Akabane Karma. I suppose... you're my blind date?"
The cute boy tilted his head (ugh, too cute!) before his face brightened up. "Ah, I've been waiting for a few minutes! I didn't think the crazy guy staring inside would be my date!" The smaller male laughed softly, making Karma's cheeks turn just ever so slightly pink.
"Hey, I'm not crazy," Karma argued, sitting across from the boy. He looked down at the others paper, noticing the math on the sheet. Homework?
"Anyway, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Nagisa Shiota." Nagisa smiled, holding out his hand for Karma.
Nagisa... The name repeated itself in Karma's head as he took the boys hand politely.
"Ah, but please call me by my first name." Nagisa requested, confusing Karma. Then he smirked again.
"So bold~ Calling each other by first names on the first date~ Alright, you can call me Karma then, Nagisa-kun~" Karma offered, earning a soft laugh from the other.
"So what are you working on?" Karma asked even if he already knew the answer.
"Ah, just my math homework..." Nagisa began gathering his things. "I've been having some trouble with it..."
Two hands grabbed his own, stopping him from putting his homework away. "Although I think it's odd to bring homework to a date, I can help you if you want. I'm a math whiz."
"Really?" Nagisa asked with a surprised but relieved smile.
Damn, with a smile like that, Karma would kill for Nagisa if he so asked. He would jump off a cliff if he asked. He'd do anything if it meant making Nagisa smile.
"Let me see it." Karma smiled, feeling pleased with himself. This wasn't as awkward as he thought... They didn't start off with any flirting or personal questions. They started off with simple introductions and immediately acted chill with each other. Karma liked it... Maybe dating wasn't as hard as he thought?
Nagisa handed over the paper, letting Karma look over the questions. Karma had been placed in AP classes so he already went over this stuff. "Ah, this is easy! Don't worry Nagisa-kun, I'll tutor you~ I'll make it easy to understand but make sure you get it as well."
"I see. Thank you Karma-kun." Nagisa flashed another smile that almost killed Karma. He didn't expect his date to turn into a study session but it was worth it.
After about ten minutes, Nagisa was excitedly writing down answers to the math questions, ecstatic that he finally understood. "I actually understand now! Thank you Karma-kun!"
"Oh, it was nothing..." At some point during the study session, Karma had went up to the counter to order a strawberry milk for himself. He also got Nagisa a soda after offering to get the other a drink too. It was a date after all. He had to pay for something.
He sipped on his milk as he watched Nagisa write down the final correct answer. "I'm sorry if this date turned out very boring but.." Karma just smiled at Nagisa's words.
"It wasn't boring at all. I enjoyed this time with you Nagisa-kun..." He watched Nagisa put his homework in his bag beside him. "Although does this mean our date is over?"
"No!" Nagisa said quickly, surprising Karma. Did he enjoy the date as much as Karma did? "I.. All we did is homework... I want to make it up to you since you helped me!"
Karma stared in surprise. Did this mean Nagisa was interested? Would they... go on another date one day?
"That's alright..." Karma took out his phone, checking the time. "Ah, it's only eleven. Almost lunch time. Want to just eat lunch here? I'll pay."
"I can help with the bill." Nagisa offered quickly but Karma turned him down. "Honestly Karma-kun... You're very gentlemanly."
Karma laughed softly, but not for the reason Nagisa thought. If only Nagisa knew his true personality...
It felt a little wrong to let the other think he was this kind. He wasn't always this kind at all... He was violent. He was deadly. But it's not like you could tell your date your favorite hobby is fighting gangs in alleyways...
"I'm glad you think that way Nagisa-kun." Karma smiled, ready to put his phone away. However as he looked at his screen, he noticed he had a few messages from Nakamura. Hmm? Oh, she must be curious about the date.
"Go up and get whatever you want Nagisa-kun. I just want some chicken fingers and fries." With a nod, Nagisa got up from the booth as Karma unlocked his phone. He clicked on the messages from Nakamura, noticing she sent a total of 7 messages.
10:52am: Is he there? Do you see him?
10:54am: He's not answering my messages... You better hope he's there
10:59am: Karma? Did you find him?
11:08am: He said he's not coming. He's not giving a reason why.
11:08am: Are you still waiting for him? What's going on? Why aren't you answering?
11:09am: Are you mad at me?
11:12am: I'm sorry.
Karma stared at his phone with shock. His blind date wasn't coming? But... Nagisa was right in front of him!
His eyes sharpened as his hand dug into the cushion of his seat. Nagisa... wasn't his blind date, was he? It would explain why the other was shocked to see him when he suddenly came up to his table and it's why he brought homework to a date. Because there wasn't a date at all. Nagisa was just some boy who decided to play along and play with his feelings... He even got a free study session out of it.
If that didn't make him irritated enough, the fact that his blind date stood him up made him furious. Why didn't he want to go on a date? Did he just agree with a blind date just to reject it from the very beginning? To mess with his feelings?
"Karma-kun!" Nagisa's voice broke through his train of thought as he played a tray in front of him. "I got our food! I even got you an extra strawberry... milk.." The boy slowly stopped talking when he noticed Karma's annoyance. "Karma-kun?"
"Don't call me by my first name." Karma hissed under his breath, his nails digging into the cushions.
"Karma-kun..." Nagisa was confused. Why did the redhead seem so angry all of a sudden? He glanced at the phone at Karma's hand and after reading just a few messages, he understood immediately. "Look, I- It's not what it looks like Karma-kun-"
"I said don't call me Karma." The other repeated with slight irritation. What did he do to deserve this humiliation? Okay, he could think of a million reasons why, but why like this? He never hurt anyone like this... Always only physically. Never emotionally. Or at least not intentionally if he has hurt someone emotionally.
"I'm sorry." Nagisa mumbled, sitting back down across from Karma. It was silent for a few moments. Nagisa sat with his hands on his lap as Karma resisted the urge to throw his phone and tug out his hair. He put his phone in his pocket so he didn't end up tossing it to the floor.
"Why?" The question startled Nagisa. "Why did you lead me on? Why did you say you were my date?"
Nagisa was silent for a moment, hesitating on his response. He's probably trying to find a way to word his reason correctly so he didn't anger Karma more.
"I-I'm sorry but.. it's just... You were super cute."
...What?
Did Karma hear right? The sudden claim was enough to diminish some of his anger. "Cute...?" He thought Nagisa was the cute one here?
"I saw you out the window and you looked really nervous... I thought you were waiting for a girlfriend or something. When you came inside, I tried not to look at you. I thought you were so cute, but like I said, I thought you were waiting for a date. Then... you came up to me. I was so surprised. Yet happy... I was so glad."
Karma listened to Nagisa, curious to hear the whole story. He still couldn't believe the other thought he was cute.
"When you called me your blind date, I couldn't decline it. Besides... I thought you got stood up so... I wanted to make you happy. So I went along with it."
"That's why you brought homework to a date." Karma sighed.
"Yes. I'm sorry." Nagisa smiled sadly. "I didn't mean to lead you on but... I didn't do it for bad reasons. I actually am interested in you Karma-kun. I wouldn't mind... going on a second date."
A second date... with a cutie like Nagisa? Who was also interested in him?
"K-Karma-kun? Your face suddenly turned red..."
Karma raised a hand, covering his mouth in surprise. He had been so surprised by Nagisa's offer, he couldn't stop the blush from appearing on his face. "A second... date? Like, a legit one?"
Nagisa smiled then laughed softly. "Yes. A "legit" date, as you call it."
"Of... Of course then!" Karma said before he could stop himself. He must look like a desperate creep... "But... Can we finish this one?"
"Yes." Nagisa pushed the tray towards Karma after taking off his sandwich he ordered. "I got your chicken and fries like you said. And an extra milk."
"Thank you Nagisa-kun..." Karma smiled at his thoughtfulness. "It seems you're mostly the gentlemanly one here."
Nagisa innocently smiled as he picked up a napkin. With no hesitation at all, he placed a kiss on the corner of the napkin. Before Karma could ask what the heck he was doing, Nagisa reached over the table to press the napkin against Karma's lips.
"Since I don't kiss on first dates... Will this do?" Nagisa asked with a bright smile as he sat back down.
It was only a miracle that Karma didn't pass out right then and there.
Extra:
"Karmaaaaa! I said I'm sorry!" Nakamura whined over the phone.
They spent the last few minutes talking about what happened earlier today at the cafe. About the blind date. It was night time now, almost time for them to go to bed. But Karma didn't want to wait until tomorrow to confront Nakamura...
"He's my type, huh? I didn't realize that my type liked to reject people before even going on a date with them." Karma growled as he hugged a pillow close to his chest.
"Hey, I didn't know he was going to do that okay?! I'm sorry. I really am." Karma sighed in response. "Besides, you met a cute boy anyway, didn't you?! You should be grateful!"
Karma felt his face heat up as he remembered the date. Tomorrow they were going to have a second, "legit" date... "Yeah... He was really cute..."
"But after what you told me... He doesn't sound like an uke, despite being so short~"
"What do you-"
"Karma might get topped as his first!" Nakamura teased.
"No way! Not as my first!" Karma cried in embarrassment and anger.
"Then as your second?!"
"Never!"
"Didn't he kiss you first though?!"
"That didn't count! He doesn't kiss on first dates!"
"Ooh, a real gentleman~ Don't worry Karma, I'm sure he'll take good care ~"
"Naka-!" Nakamura hung up before Karma could yell at her again. He growled as he put his phone on his nightstand. He was not an uke...
Right?
If you couldn't tell, I really enjoy writing embarrassed/blushing/almost uke Karma :'3
