Enjoy the Gakushū Ending!
I do not own Assassination Classroom.
A year and a half had passed for the students of Class E. All of them walking toward their futures with bright eyes as they took to heart the lessons Korosensei taught them. While they all made their way through high school they were in turned chased by reporters and talk shows, all eager to hear their tales. True to their word to Korosensei and the governments however, none of them spilt a single word about their year as Class 3-E.
They all kept sealed lips and once the world got it they were left alone.
They eventually became old news however when Korosensei began to make waves on the internet, like Ugg boots and Myspace, their octopus teacher was a trend. Although Minako doubted he would fall out of style like those trends, after all he was zany, surprising, and always interesting. His trend however was photos, for his retirement Korosensei had been traveling the world. Exploring its hidden wonders and tasting all the treats, the world had to offer. All the while, dodging assassins and the military as he enjoyed his freedom. Along with occasionally dropping by papa's office to sell him an idea to fund his trips, after all an octopus has to eat!
As he traveled though, often in his zany disguises, the world watched for him and when they found him they snapped a photo to show the world they saw the monster. Some photos showed him eating, some photos showed him sleazing, and some photos showed the world the sensei they knew. If you didn't snap a photo of him on purpose though that didn't mean you were out of the game. Sometimes people would post photos of themselves and would find the octopus teacher photo bombed them!
He was slowly gaining popularity though, websites were being made to keep track of all his sightings and as more people spotted him the braver they were getting. Now they were actually approaching him and like their experiences with him some were hits and others were misses.
Putting down her phone as she got finished reading the latest sighting, Minako looked back when the door to the music opened up and in walked Karma. He looked has handsome as ever with his fiery red hair kept short with his bangs falling into his golden eyes. During the two years they had to grow up he had grown more handsome and manly. Smiling at him she swung around on the piano bench and smiled, "Yo, Karma-kun!" she said happily.
Flashing her a peace sign Karma sat down next to her on the bench, looking back spotting her phone he grabbed it and smirked, "I see you've been keeping track of the websites like Nagisa," he said.
Nodding Minako took her phone back and turned it off, "Yeah, you can usually weed out the fake stories from the real stories. I've actually gotten offers from the website administers asking me to do source control, so has Rio!" she told him slipping the phone into her pocket.
"I think he's trying to do our job for us," said Karma easily reaching over to play a couple of keys on the piano.
Smiling at that Minako chuckled, "That or just trying to make our future job easier, I think no matter how old we get he'll never stop trying to find ways to make things easier on us!" she said amused.
Nodding at that Karma watched Minako for a second before sighing, "So you asked me to come see you after your Light Music Club…I think I know why but I'll let you start," he said.
Frowning at that Minako nodded as she gazed at the piano. Looking over to Karma she couldn't really see anything on his face that told her he was upset by this, but couldn't see anything for this. Gripping the bench, she sighed, "How do you feel about me…now?" she asked him.
Looking over at her Karma sighed, "I love you…but…what was once strong feelings have faded. If you brought me here I'm guessing your experiencing the same thing," he said. Seeing a small nod come from Minako he nodded and leaned back, "Korosensei wrote this was possible, that while we started strong we could fizzle out in due time. He wrote every way this relationship could go…even the lowest possible outcome," he said.
Looking over surprised Minako shook her head in disbelief, "No way…he wrote a situation where you and Gakushū become bi-sexual and enter a three-way relationship with me too…I thought he just put that in my book as a joke. A very bad joke but a joke never the less…should have known though. Even he wouldn't put that much detail in a joke. I still don't get how he ever thought that was a possibility," she said astonished.
Snorting at that Karma laughed, "Yeah, for a joke it was in very good detail. It actually made me wonder for a little while if I had an actual attraction to number two that I was trying to deny," he said before looking over to Minako. Shaking his head, he smiled, "There is none, I still find him annoying. Just a kind of annoying I can respect…in a sense," he said shrugging.
Watching him Minako sighed, "If you're not upset I'm guessing you've reached the same conclusion as me?" she asked him. She had mixed feelings about all this but it had to be done, as much as she adored Karma what was once strong feelings was like a lighters flame compared to a bonfire. He would always be her first love but this first love wouldn't be her only love.
Nodding he watched her, "I love you, I think a small part of me always will but I think it's time for both of us to find someone else. Or rather its time you admit you want a relationship with number two and I go find someone new that makes me feel the way you use to make me feel," Karma summoned up in a few sentences.
Frowning Minako looked over, "It won't be goodbye forever though, right?" she asked him. Even if they would no longer be a couple Karma was a friend. A good friend who shared the same struggles as her from their year in Class E. It would be hard to tell him goodbye as a boyfriend but she didn't want to tell him goodbye as friends, they were Class E after all.
Watching her Karma reached over and poked her forehead, "We're always going to be members of Class E, Minako. Nothing will change that, but our relationship does have to change. We're going to have to learn how to be just friends which means we're going to have to separate," he told her.
Nodding at that Minako touched the area he poked, "I know that…I just don't want to say goodbye to you completely. I value you as a friend, I understand things are going to be different for us but I don't want that difference to change into a complete separation. I've known you forever! I mean during our childhood we weren't best friends like me and Rio but I've always had you as a classmate. And then you became a friend before you came more than that. I just don't want us to stop being friends. You've been in my life so long," she told him.
Watching her Karma looked at the piano, "We won't stop being friends but till we can figure out how we work as friends we have to keep a little distance. That said…you can still call me in a pinch just like I hope I can call you in a pinch. After all there's no way I'm going to say good bye to someone who can shoot a bow like you!" he said teasingly.
Smiling at that Minako nodded, "Thank you, Karma-kun. I hope you find someone who's going to love you the way you need to be loved," she said.
Smirking at that, Karma shrugged, "I'm not too worried about that, I'm just going to focus on my goals after all I need to get into a position of power before some nobody tries to use Korosensei to make a name for himself. The one who will help secure his freedom from office will be me," he said confidently, he would lead the assault to secure Korosensei's freedom.
Smiling at that, Minako reached over to poke Karma's cheek, "Make sure you don't turn into someone despicable, Karma-kun. I mean truly despicable too. Your usual is just fine," she told him.
Chuckling at that Karma peered over, "Don't worry about me, although I'm going to go ahead and tell you that I not above blackmail. And unlike you I don't get a no blackmail veto from Korosensei," he said with a smirk.
"Like they didn't deserve it!" said Minako easily.
Snorting at that, Karma turned to Minako, "Good luck with Mr. President, Minako…lord knows you're going to need it!" he said amused.
"Don't be mean," said Minako smiling.
Nodding Karma put on a more serious expression, "Seriously though, good luck Minako," he told her.
Leaning over Minako hugged Karma tightly, "I would wish you luck too, but if I've learned anything it's that Akabane, Karma makes his own luck!" she told him.
Making her way down the hall Minako felt a little lighter with each step that took her toward the student council room. With her and Karma over it was time to asked Gakushū if he would officially accept her as his girlfriend. She was sad to say goodbye to Karma but also excited to start a new relationship with Gakushū and see what the future held.
Karma would always hold a special place in her heart, after all he was the first boy she ever loved but hopefully Gakushū would be the last. Finally reaching the door she leaned against the window sill and waited as slowly the minute and second hand ticked closer and closer toward the end of the meeting.
True to the blood he shared with his father Gakushū took over the high school his very first year, the seniors who thought they would rule the school were pushed aside. After all only Karma would hold a candle to Gakushū's ambition! And said boy would rather just face Gakushū on the test battlefield rather than the student politics battlefield.
Feeling her phone buzz, Minako peered down to find a message from G.O.D, 'You forgot your umbrella again, it's going to rain, I'll bring it,' he sent her.
Frowning at that Minako texted an apology, due to her nerves about today she forgot a few things from her lunch to the sheet music she wrote for her Light Music Club practice. She had to rewrite it during classroom breaks. It was a good thing she had an identic memory for music…she wished she could have an identic memory in other areas! Then she had to eat in the cafeteria…something she rarely did if ever, she was like Karma she preferred her own cooking to others.
'Sorry, I'll be out a bit later and will probably be accompanied by Gakushū,' she texted back.
Getting an okay from him she gazed at her phone for a minute before putting away, true to his word to her Korosensei found a way to extend G.O.D's life. He had to get injected with something Korosensei created every three months but with it his life had been extended. With his new life, he had started his journey to find his new place in life.
Only he hadn't quite found it, both Minako and Korosensei agreed he should quit assassination, he had never really been happy in that field. The only time he had happiness was in the beginning when he first joined Korosensei. So, every day G.O.D would go out and pick something at random and try to master it. Trying to find something that spoke to him like when he first saw Korosensei back when he was a boy, so far though, he had no such luck.
The only time G.O.D seemed to enjoy himself was when Minako and Karma had him help them train, like many of their other classmates they kept up with their assassination training. They were skills they valued and prided themselves in. Often the class would have little get togethers when they could, they went up on their mountain top they trained. With each other and if Minako was there with G.O.D who was always ready to battle with them. Sometimes they were even joined by Karasuma
Maybe he should try teaching a class in defense…it wouldn't be a horrible idea.
Jumping when the door opened up, Minako watched as members of the student council came out in pairs of two, the last to leave being Ren with his new girlfriend. Ever since meeting G.O.D and learning the truth about Usagi's passing he seemed ready to finally move on and start anew. He had been with his girlfriend for close to a year now and both seemed happy.
Not Ren's fangirls of course…but the couple in question were happy.
The girl herself wasn't bad either, she was sweet, kind, and had dreams of being a researcher at Suzuki Corporation once she graduated college. For once Ren chose someone who wasn't psycho. His girlfriend went by Saya and was new, just like her and Karma, Saya transferred in for High School.
Finally entering the room Minako smiled when she found Gakushū making his way around the room picking up papers. Always hard at work. Like Karma, Gakushū had grown manlier, his shoulders were broader and he had grown taller and stronger. Watching him brushed back his blonde hair, she took note of how much longer it had gotten. He still kept it stylishly cut but it was longer than when they first started their relationship! Sitting on a chair it was close to five minutes before Gakushū finally took notice of her. Pausing as he made his way back to his table at last, his eyes widen when he spotted her, "Minako! How long have you been there?!" he asked.
Smiling Minako shook her head, "Not long…need any help?" she asked him, walking over she took the papers from him and found nothing but a bunch of figures on it. Budgets, classroom projects for the upcoming cultural festival, and the club projects. Minako knew her Sewing Club was doing a fashion show, they had her get Makoto to model for them. Then the Light Music Club she was in would be playing songs she both wrote or helped other members write.
With hormones finally balancing out and her having an actually relationship with two certain boys, she was able to gain some female friends. Mostly in her clubs but she also was able to start a friendship with a certain, buns hairstyle girl she got to know during that waterpark trip, Mika.
Taking back the papers, Gakushū leaned in and kiss Minako, "No, I got it but you might want to go ahead and go home. It'll be at least an hour before I'm done," he told her.
Shaking her head, she made her way back to her seat and sat down, "No, I want to walk home with you today so I'll wait," she told him pulling out her phone.
Eyeing her for a moment, Gakushū headed over and smiled, "This isn't your Club Presidents' pressuring you to change my mind about their lineup, is it? Because not even your feminine charms are going to change that, but please do try!" he said, putting the papers on the table he used before he leaned in with a smirk.
Smiling at that Minako shook her head, "No, they've accepted the line up! I just want to spend some time with you…I haven't been able to see you in some time thanks to the cultural festival. We've only been able to get together on the weekends!" she told him.
Nodding at that Gakushū sighed as he took his usual spot behind the desk, "Yeah, I promise I'll make some time for you afterward," he said diving into his work. Watching him for a minute, Minako quickly pulled out her phone and began to play games. Thirty minutes into her wait Minako made her way to the window once she got a message from G.O.D, opening up she stepped back and waited.
It had already started to rain, according to the radar on her phone it wouldn't be stopping any time soon either. Slipping in silently, G.O.D stood before her dry without a single raindrop marring him and in his hand, was her umbrella. Smiling at him she held out her hand for it, "Having fun in the rain?" she asked him amused.
Gazing outside at the rain, G.O.D sighed, "I do miss feeling the rain," he said.
Leaning out Minako let the rain fall on her hand, "You can always cover yourself in mucus, Rio told me that Korosensei once did that in a bath and turned it to jelly," she told him.
Shaking his head, G.O.D frowned from under his hood, "Covering myself in that is equivalent to wearing this out in the rain. I feel it but not really," he told her.
Frowning at that Minako pushed back from the window, "At least you can fly. Maybe you can't feel the rain anymore but everything has its draw backs. Humans are susceptible to death, vampires have to forgo the sun, werewolves can never truly experience a full-moon again, and ghost aren't alive. Every being as its perks and it losses! But at least you're the boogeyman! That's always cool!" she said happily, being the boogeyman was the coolest.
Shaking his head, G.O.D sighed, "Your almost sixteen when are you going to stop believing in the boogeyman?" he asked ready to climb out the window.
"I'll stop when I'm dead!" Minako answered easily.
Looking back once he was crouching in the window, G.O.D looked back to Gakushū who was completely absorbed in his paperwork, "If you going to stay late with him call me when you're done. I rather you didn't walk home alone at night," he said.
Smiling at that Minako chuckled, "Trust me, G.O.D, you've pounded that lesson deeply in my head," she told him.
Nodding he leap out and half a second later he was already gone, pulling the window shut she made her way back to seat tapping her umbrella against the tile floor. Looking up with a slightly irritated expression Gakushū zeroed in on her umbrella and frowned in confusion. Looking over to the window he frowned, "…Did he just bring you that?" he asked annoyed.
Smiling at that Minako nodded, "You need to learn to sense your surroundings, Gakushū!" she teased.
Rolling his eyes Gakushū put a page aside, "Funny," he said sarcastically. The catching sight of her yellow umbrella he scowled, "If you have his face on your umbrella I'm going to leave you," he said knowingly.
Snorting at that Minako opened the umbrella slightly, just enough for Gakushū to get a good look at Korosensei's face. Shaking his head, he groaned, "And you wonder why when the news talks about you they say you're the most brainwashed!" he said shaking his head.
Pouting Minako crossed her arms, "Hey all of us have Korosensei memorabilia! I've made something for everyone; t-shirts, keychains, buttons, dolls, and anything else you could think of! I'm just the loudest about my love!" she said proudly! She had all of the above, her bag actually had keychains of G.O.D, Korosensei, and then a pair of the duos human forms attached to it!
Sighing Gakushū shook his head, "I will never get your taste," he said with a smile.
Smiling at that Minako put her hands on the desk and leaned over to give Gakushū a chaste kiss, "As long as you accept me for my quirks and all I don't care if you hate my accessories!" Minako told him honestly.
"I'm still not doing the blood wine," Gakushū said going back to work.
"Yes, yes, you've made that quite clear," said Minako amused.
Finally done, Gakushū dropped off everything he finished at the office before joining Minako. Grabbing her hand, he took her umbrella and opened it, holding it up above the two of them. Walking slowly Gakushū peered over with a curious expression, "…So, did something happen between you and Akabane?" he asked her. While he was all for spending more time with her she usually hung out with the devil child when he was busy.
That was the one benefit of their arrangement, when he couldn't hang out he knew she wasn't getting in too much trouble because Akabane was with her. It sounded like a paradox but at least when she was with him, she wasn't being harassed. Watching as an expression flickered across her face he paused, "Did you two get into a fight?" he asked her curious. While he wasn't for smoothing things over for Akabane, he would at least help Minako out with her feelings.
Shaking her head Minako turned to face him, "…No, not really…" she told him. Biting her lip, she felt butterflies dance around in her stomach. Looking into Gakushū's eyes she smiled, "I…sort of broke up with Karma…" she told him.
Watching his eyes widen Minako flashed a nervous smile, "I want to be your girlfriend…or your fiancé, whichever one you want," she told him.
Blinking his eyes, Gakushū frowned, "Are you telling me you love me…not Akabane?" he asked her.
Frowning at that Minako shook her head, "Karma-kun is my first love, he'll always be my first love and a small part of me will always care for him…but you're the one I want to be with. I love you now, I want to be with you…and if it's alright with you I want to be your fiancé…I just don't know about our parents plans for marriage right after high school," she told him amused.
Smiling at that Gakushū leaned in and capture Minako's lips in a kiss, leaning into the kiss Minako felt a happiness bloom deep in her soul. Pulling back after a minute Gakushū smiled, "I always told you I would rip up that contract when you finally chose. I intend to keep that promise, so you're not my fiancé you're my girlfriend and one day I'll really propose to you!" he promised.
Laughing at that Minako wrapped an arm around Gakushū waist as they once more started toward home, either his or hers she didn't really care, "I expect you to wow me then, Mr. Asano!" she teased.
"You can count on that!" Gakushū promised easily.
Walking along happily, Gakushū felt a pause when someone walked by with a red umbrella. Seeing a certain red-head flash through his mind he looked over to Minako, "What did you tell, Akabane?" he asked her. While he and Akabane had their differences, they had come to gain a respect for each other and while he didn't want to lose that didn't mean he wanted to needlessly hurt him.
Letting her smile dim slightly, Minako sighed, "…We both agreed, the fire we once had for each other was gone…so our break up was mutual. What we have now is nothing but a lighters flame compared to the bonfire I feel for you," she told him honestly.
"Always with the fire metaphors," said Gakushū shaking his head.
"It's the best way I can describe my feelings!" Minako cried defensively.
"That itself is bad," said Gakushū.
Pulling her hand from him, Minako crossed her arms, "You do realize you're about to ruin this day, don't you?" she asked him annoyed.
Smiling at that Gakushū stepped closer and reached for her hand, "Sorry, I won't talk to you about your frightening love for fire. Instead we'll talk about your love for me, we should celebrate your sanity and do something to commemorate this day," he said.
Gazing at him with a raised eyebrow, Minako gave him a small smile, "Sanity," she probed.
Smirking at that, Gakushū leaned in, "Get angry and slap me but we both know I'm the sane option of your choices!" he said happily.
Rolling her eyes Minako sighed, "Your lucky your so damn cute," she told him.
Chuckling at that Gakushū and Minako made their way through the rainy streets finally arriving at his house, finding themselves alone. Slipping out of her shoes and putting out her umbrella while Gakushū went in search of his parents, the blonde finally came back with a smile, "Seems we're all alone today," he said holding out a hand to help her up.
Stepping closer to him Minako wrapped her arms around his neck, "Something tells me there is no such thing as alone in any place the chairman inhabits," she told him with a smile.
Smiling at that Gakushū pointed around the foyer, "Yeah, I've checked every inch of this house and the only cameras are the security cameras watching the outside. So, no worries," he told her.
Leaning in Minako pressed a chaste kiss to Gakushū's lips, "I'll take your word on that then, because you do know your dad best!" she told him.
Heading upstairs thy entered Gakushū's room, the large roomy room had change since she first saw it those couple years ago. It had been given the breath of life. It finally looked lived in. Sitting on Gakushū's bed, Minako peered up, "I've always found it strange that no one ever worries about me being alone in your room with you behind closed doors," she said watching him.
Smiling at that Gakushū reached up to loosen his tie, "Our fathers, trust me to be smart and not do anything that could potential throw our futures off course. Not to mention your father trust me to not put your life in danger," he said entering his closet.
Frowning at that Minako watched his closet door, "What do you mean by that?" she asked him.
Stepping out dress in casual clothes, Gakushū sat down next to her wrapping an arm around her waist as he peered over to her with a serious expression, "It's dangerous for any girl to get pregnant at a young age, but it's especially dangerous to you because of your health. I've looked into those kinds of things, to help me remember what needs to be done should we ever…get together," he told her.
Looking at him surprised Minako blushed a little, "So you've actually thought about that?" she asked him with.
Smiling at her he stood up and made his way to his desk, picking up a remote he pushed a button making the heater turn on. Gazing at the heater he looked back down and nodded, "Despite my control I'm still a teenage boy underneath everything. I've…thought about it a lot," he admitted. What guy didn't think about doing that with their girlfriend. Well he supposed a gay guy might not, one who hadn't quite figured it out his own sexuality quite yet and dated girls.
That's aside from the point though.
Letting out a sigh he rejoined her on the bed and sat in silence before long they both laid out on the bed listening to the rain falling on the roof. It was heavy enough to make noise. Relaxing into his bed, Gakushū only moved when he heard a soft snore emit from Minako. Peering over he found her fast asleep clutching his shirt as she snoozed using the pillow she made him their first Christmas.
Good thing he finished his homework before the council meeting. Pulling out his phone he began to play games and that's how his father found them. Jumping when a knock jolted him out of the zone he peered up and over when the door opened and the chairman peered in, "Your mother told me to tell you were home," he said before catching sight of the bed.
Raising an eyebrow, he walked over and peered down finding Minako drooling away, something she seemed unable to stop due to her long years of having her sinus clogged while she slept. Looking as well Gakushū sighed he was going to have to wash that pillow now…but whatever. Watching his son who struggled to sit up without jolting Minako who clung to him, Gakuhō smiled.
Nodding down to Minako, Gakuhō smiled, "Always the picture of grace, so will Minako-chan be staying for dinner?" he questioned his son.
Frowning at that Gakushū shook his head, "She'll be going home soon, she has to cook for the rest of her family otherwise they all starve to death," he told him. Getting a nod from his father, Gakushū watched as he started to back out of the room. Before he left however Gakushū called out to him stopping him in his tracks. Clearing his throat, he frowned, "I'll be needing that contract," he told him.
Pausing with his hand on the door, Gakuhō peered back and watch his son for a moment. Smiling at him, he turned back, "You'll have to clarify which contract," he said. He knew of course but he wanted to hear his son tell him what he wanted to hear.
Giving his father a look Gakushū peered down to Minako, "The one that involves my connection to Minako, I assume there is only one. I promised her when she made her choice I would rip it up no matter her choice and today she's made it…so the contract by dinner if you don't mind," he said.
With that a smug smile touched Gakuhō as he exited out of the room, rolling his eyes Gakushū sighed and look downed when Minako snorted. Finding her opening her eyes she smiled at him, "He's hearing wedding bells already. I really wouldn't be surprised if he has the wedding planned out better than the wedding planner's papa will hire," she snorted. Sitting up Minako wiped her mouth and sighed before looking over, "So now our parents will know, not going to keep them guessing even for a little while? I was planning to do that to papa, but the chairman will probably call him before long…ugh I really hope he doesn't do something like celebrate. I hate to think of what he does in a reality where I choose Karma-kun," she muttered.
Sitting up with a snort, Gakushū grabbed the owl pillow and tossed it to the floor, "First you need to learn to stop drooling so much, second, if you think he doesn't have spies at school your sorely wrong, I'm quite sure he would have found out your choice by this evening if I wasn't so accommodating. Third as far as I'm concerned I'm your choice in all realities!" he said watching Minako blush in embarrassment.
Sitting up Minako wiped away an sigh of her drooling, "Shut up," Minako said embarrassed.
Reaching over Gakushū grabbed Minako's hand and pulled her closer, "So is this really alright?!" he asked her quietly.
Smiling at him Minako laughed, "Is what alright?" she asked him.
Shrugging he pointed around his room, "Just staying in my room and napping, after years of being friends with the five I've come to an understanding that you have to celebrate everything," Gakushū told her unsure.
Laughing at that Minako leaned over and kissed his cheek, "All Ren's influence I'm sure, he picked that up from Usagi who felt the need to celebrate everything. She in turn got that from papa, but I'm good with this, spending time with you even if it's just napping or sitting beside you while you work is enough for me. If you would you rather we go out somewhere to celebrate, we can though" she told him, because as long as they were together she was perfectly content!
Shaking his head, Gakushū smiled at her, "I'm fine with this too!" he admitted.
"I guess this a good start for our relationship then, Blondie Bear!" said Minako teasingly enjoying the slight blush Gakushū gave her.
"Shut up," said Gakushū embarrassed.
Tell me your thoughts!
