During my time at E-class, I received a letter. How it got there, or where it even came from, I had no answer to that.

Jumping out of bed, I decided to make my day to "How I overslept for the first time" and ran out after getting dressed.

The blue haired male ran and entered his classroom. Listening to koro-sensei was usually a fun thing to do, however sometimes the yellow creature would go off to topics that are completely irrelevant. Sighing, he dug through his bag and took his notebook out. Ah, the letter. He concluded that he could read it now while his teacher was at it.

"Nagisa Shiota,

How are you doing so far in E-class?

This letter is written around a few years from the future. The reason I'm writing to my old self is because of a favor only you can do. "

A letter from me… probably a joke some of the guys pulled. Geez..

"I will now recall events that will happen very soon in your present time. Of course, what you should do will also be recorded down as well. Please take my advice and don't repeat the mistakes that I made.

March 5

Somehow woke up late for the first time but made it to school.

There will be a transfer student today. His name is Karma.

How did he know all of this? And a transfer student?

"Alright everyone, please quiet down! Nurufufu~ We actually have a transfer student today his name is Akabane Karma-kun. Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?"

He will be seated right behind you

Confusion ran into his head as he questioned himself if this letter could actually be real.

"My name is already stated by this octopus teacher. It's a pleasure to meet you all, heh."

"Well then Karma-kun. Why don't you just sit behind Nagisa-kun? There's an empty seat right in the back."

There's no way.. this is probably just some really weird coincidence. Yeah.

As class continued and eventually stopped, Nagisa quickly read the rest of the letter while being invited out by a few friends. Of course he agreed as usual.

Karma is invited with you guys, but he declines at first

Please, PLEASE don't let him go.

What's so wrong about inviting him? The blue haired male saw the red head shaking his head playfully but then reluctantly agreed to go with them.

Along the way they bought different kinds of bread. From what Nagisa can see, Karma was a rather daring and carefree guy who likes to joke around from time to time. In addition, the red head have some fast reflexes and strength that he didn't find out until he saw him using knives and such. Seriously, everything seemed to be fine. Everyone was talking freely and chatting like how they normally do.

"Nagisa, which bread do you want?"

Curry bread.. but if someone else wants it, I would feel a bit bad.

"Whatever is fine for me." The blue haired male smiled waving his hand.

"Really? You're not just trying to be kind or something like that right?"

"No really! I'm good with anything."

"Well then, everyone grab what you want!"

Although every person reached out for different things at first, at the end everyone was arguing who would be the one that will have the curry bread. Thank goodness I didn't say I wanted curry bread.. everyone wanted it after all.

However during their whole argument the red head went up to the shorter male making an offer to him. As he extended out his food he was smirking slightly.

"Nagisa-kun, trade my curry bread for your sesame bread?"

"Eh? Oh uh, sure. Thanks."

Did he read what I was thinking? Actually, do I even look like I want curry bread? Did he notice it and wanted to trade because of that?

As soon as everyone walked to their separate ways, Nagisa went home and flipped open a page in his journal. Writing down little things such as "I traded bread with Karma-kun today." he wrote down what happened throughout the day with the exception of the letter. But soon he figured that there was also something important that he was missing in his entry.

So everything in the letter actually happened… from waking up late and walking home with everyone. Wait, if this is actually from me then I must've read my journal.

Widening his eyes and sweat dropping he reread the letter and what he just wrote only to find that the words were nearly exactly the same. It seems like he even kept the same handwriting over the couple of years. Nagisa slammed the letter and his journal on his bed.

This.. Its… REAL. What am I even supposed to do? I think I rather not know the future..

The next morning, it seems like a certain red haired male wasn't at school.

"Is Karma sick today?"

"Dunno. Guess we should have asked for his phone number yesterday."

"I really do hope he's alright.."

"Eh what's this? Nagisa seems to be like in love with someone~"

"… WHAT?"

However after that, Karma-kun didn't show up for the next one and a half week. There were no signs of him at school. Maybe.. Just maybe..

If I followed what the letter had said, would he be going to school now? Does the letter explain why he's actually not attending school? Opening the letter she got yesterday, it seems like there was something new there.

March 16

There will be a friendly match in the E-class

I was asked to sub in

One thing I regretted was saying no to that offer. I want you to accept the offer.

Today is also the day I started falling for Karma.

While the letter didn't say much on why the other wasn't at school, it did spark some fire when Nagisa read the last part. Falling for Karma? Even he found it just a little hard to believe that. Not that Karma was a bad person, in fact, he had to admit he was pretty amazing in many of the things he does.

But maybe not that day could have prevented him from not coming to school.

"Karma-kun's back!"

Hearing his name, the red head turned around with a smirk and a playful salute.

Thank goodness.. nothing bad seemed to have happened to him

"Where were you the past week?"

"Cutting classes~ Sorry sorry, I figured last week's lesson was just a tad bit boring.

"…CUTTING CLASSES? THAT'S IT?"

"Haha yep!"

Just like what the letter Nagisa read said, their game started. He was sitting down on the grass as he watched his newly transferred classmate sit besides him commenting on the game here and there. For him, he enjoyed listening to him talking especially since sometimes he does say useful information.

"Well I don't think its actually a victory if they barely won."

"What do you mean?"

"Hm. I would say a total victory is scoring an easy win by doing what you usually do."

Just after he said that sentence, groups of boys begged Nagisa to help them sub in. However thoughts such as "What if they lose because of me?" or "If we lose this game, it would all be my fault." Filled in his mind. But remembering what the letter had said, he also remembered something about himself.

My future me regrets turning down the offer. If the letter is correct, then I would seriously be disappointed that I let my friends down. That was the same as letting myself down because I can actually help. Running away… of course it would be something I will always regret.

"Um… I'll sub in!"

And so he did just that. The place that he subbed in was something he could do. Nagisa realized that. Smiling , his team won just as expected of them. That's right, I always gave in to my timid self.

Ahh his foot hurt like hell. Trudging back to the classroom he was stopped by Karma who asked him to sit down. Confused at first, he did what he was told to do but immediately protested when he saw him take off his shoes. A first aid kit came to view as he treated the other feet with a smirk telling him that he shouldn't push himself like that.

"Honestly its alright, it'll only cause people around me trouble if I told them about such a little thing. If no one notices it, then I can just ignore it too. That's how I've always did it."

"But I've noticed."

Flashbacks of the time when they were walking home filled Nagisa memory as he looked down slightly. So he did see through me after all.

"And now we're done. Take it easy."

".. You too Karma-kun! I'm watching you too!"

"Haha do you now. I saw how you won for the team, you even exceeded my expectation. But watch me be the one to assassinate that homeroom teacher of ours."

Everything in that letter.. actually happened.

Back then when he said the words "I've been watching you" everything just seemed perfect. But maybe today if I fixed at least one of those regrets the future me had been carrying all along, it would be the first step of the right path.

(In the Future)

"Nagisa! Think these flowers will be good enough?"

The now taller blue haired male gave a small smile with a nervous laugh.

"You do know that Karma wasn't that much of a fan of flowers right?"

"Its fine, its fine, the others are on their way too."

"I see. Wow its already been 6 years huh.."

"Yeah. Wished we can do it all over again."

"Can't disagree with that. But we would do it much more differently.."

There's so much more waiting for you to myself in the past. Things such as joy and happiness that you should cherish. Don't let it slip away from your hands.

Gripping on a piece of paper he recently just wrote on Nagisa looked up at the sky.

There is a reason I'm writing this letter to you from the future. I hold many regrets even though I turned 20.

But there is one thing that will always haunt me.

Here, 6 years from now, Karma will no longer be with us. Don't lose something precious to you.

Watch over Karma with everything you have. Look after him. Be there for him. Please.
