Cupid Koro-sensei
As you will recall Koro-sensei tried to pair the students and the two teachers with disastrous results. Two of his guesses proved to work out and two did not, at least in my imagination.
Nagisa narrates.
The case of Nagisa and Kayano.
When Koro-sensei paired us up during our vacation, we were all disgusted but ended up laughing at him in the end. For the majority of us it meant nothing but for a few it meant a lot. I, Nagisa Shiota, is in that happy few. Not that it happened right away. I was happy just being friends with Kaede-chan and she was the same. But if the feelings change and get returned, you might as well go along with it.
Like said we were just friends but isn't best to start out as friends? That is what I asked myself when I realized she had feelings for me. That's when it hit me that having Kaede-chan as my girlfriend was a nice idea. I liked her as a friend, we got along well and had a lot in common. Besides she is pretty cute and I got a warm feeling in my stomach. I was going to ask her out sooner or later.
Funny thing about it, after we were together a while, I mentioned how easily I read her feelings. She got all flustered and shocked, she's cute that way. I bonked her on the head and said:
"Dummy, I'm the one known for his observation skills."
"Oh, yeah." She said and we laughed. God she's cute.
How it happened was just so ordinary. I was walking with her to school and the first part of our walk we were alone. I slipped my hand in hers all casual like. She turned beet red but didn't pull away. Instead she stopped, turned her head to hide her blush (super cute) and said:
"Nagisa, why are you holding my hand?"
"Because I want to."
"You want to?"
"I like you."
She turned to me, half in shock and half in hope.
"Do you like me too?" I asked.
She nodded in answer and I grinned because she was, is the cutest girl in the world. I started to pull us forward and said:
"Ok then, will you go to a movie with me on Sunday?"
"Yes." She said with a grin on her face. She threaded her fingers and that is when I realized both of our palms were sweaty. I know I sounded all cool but I was still was nervous. Never mind I was sure to get a yes, it was still scary. Kaede-chan regained her usual confidence as we walked and boldly held my hand straight into the school. She even announced to her girlfriends, (basically the whole class) that we were dating. The girls all shrieked and giggled like girls do and the boys teased me some. Maehara was the only other one in our class who was dating anybody. But such a princely type was never without a girl and was the go-to guy for sex advice. For a while, Kaede-chan and I drew more attention than Maehara-kun. The only draw-back was Koro-sensei. Oh how he crowed about being the one to set us up. Like he had anything to do with it. After all, it was only a natural progression of our relationship. In the end, only two of his matches worked out and that other one wasn't until high school and Koro-sensei was gone by then. But somehow I think he knew.
As for us? The statistics for a match made in middle school lasting until adulthood and marriage is pretty small. But I guess we were meant to be and a good case for staring out as friends. After all, what is better than falling in love with your best-friend?

You all realized Nagisa is referring to Kaede Kayano by her first name. The set-up of this story is Nagisa reflecting on his past and he would naturally refer to his wife in a more intimate way.
Yes I believe such a future is possible.
The next two pairs will not have a happy ending and the last is the pair who got together in high school.
