Hey guys. Thanks for reading and putting up with all the crappiness. I'll try improving my writing over time, promise. I'm not using any beta (since i don't even know how) so if there's any error, i'm sorry. i did try my best to make sure its minimum error though.
The redhead and the blonde walked together, side by side, under the moonlight. Yes, it was exactly like one of those cringey romantic fairytales if not for the awkward silence between them. Few minutes into the walk, Karma couldn't help it anymore. The silence was too overbearing. "Let's take a seat there". He motioned to a park bench overlooking the water fountain. Rio nodded, still not saying anything and eyes glued to the ground.
"Y'know. I'm glad you still remember me," she said, when he sat down beside her, a respectable distance between them. If it was up to him, he would've sat closer but thinking it might scare her, he decided against it. "Why wouldn't I?" he asked. She sighed, "I don't know. I was never stand out too much in class and not after that either. In fact, i don't think i ever went to any reunions you guys threw". He turned around a little bit in his seat to look at her. He could see her flinch when his legs accidently brushed hers. "Hard to forget someone you love".
Her head whipped around, now facing him. Shock was clearly written on her lovely face. She looked so cute he wanted to kiss her. So he did. A hand on her cheek, he leaned in and claimed her lips. After a while, she kissed him back, clearly had gotten over the shock from his confession earlier. As the kiss became more heated, they both moved forward, decreasing the distance between them until she ended up straddling his lap. What started as a soft kiss became a ferocious and passionate one. He smiled against her lips. If it was up to him, he would never wanted to wake up from the dream. Wait, what?
Karma's eyes flew open. His heart was beating heavily against his ribcage. He took a deep breath and drank some water to cool himself down. He tried to sleep, but failed. His mind was too occupied for him to rest. His rapid heartbeat didn't help either. He kept thinking back to the dream earlier, how their lips mashed together, how good she tasted. Wait, why is she in his dream? And why can't he stop thinking about it? Sure, he used to have a little bit of crush on her (who wouldn't? she's just that pretty), but that was years ago. He's over it, right?

Earlier at the office
Rio cursed herself. How can she be so dumb by letting herself believe that whoever opened the door earlier had not sneaked in while making it seemed like he/she left. Simple. She was not expecting the person to have skills as an assassin! Once she got over her shock, she took in his appearance. He looked the same as he did years ago. Same scarlet hair, same smirk (damn she loved that mischievious smirk of his) and he was sitting in his usual slacking off style. At lost for what to do (she was bad at greeting old acquaintances), whether she should act formal or casual, she made a face like that of a person who was caught doing something bad (you know that one smiley which showed its teeth, thats the face).
"What are you doing here? This is not your room," he asked. She looked at him, surprised. How did he knew. She was about to ask him that when he added, "Unless your name is Mr. Tanaka, which i'm pretty sure its not". Oh yeah. How could she forgot. There's a name on the table. "Sorry Mr. Akabane," she gave a slight bow. She decided to act formally. Its a lot safer. Plus, who knew if Karma remembered her or not. For all she knew, he might think she was just some random girl who sneaked into the office. His laugh brought her attention back to him. "Whats with the formal act? There's no one here Nakamura-san". She smirked to hide her shock. Guess he still remembered her.
She immediately straighten up and stretched her back. "Ah, thank goodness. I'm so tired of acting formally," she said as she arched her back. She then moved around the table and placed herself on it. Karma's eyes followed her every move. "By the way, I knew you remember me," she said. He raised an eyebrow. "How so?" "Who wouldn't remember the amazing Nakamura Rio!" she exclaimed, which earned her a scoff. She laughed it off. Within seconds, they were both engaged in a laughter-filled conversation, talking about random things, as though they were close friends who did not just met again after more than ten years.

The next morning, Rio had the day off. But seeing as she got nothing to do, she decided to drop by the office to see if she could find Karma and maybe, they can grab something for lunch. Its what friends do, right? So she hop off the bed and into the shower. After that, she went to her closet and looked at her choice of clothing. Seeing as it was looking sunny outside, she opted for a light pink lacy blouse and a pair of tight black jeans. After putting on some light makeup and her black platforms, she grabbed her car key from the dresser and left the house.
The drive to the embassy was surprisingly short, even with minor traffic jam. Still in her car, she typed her red-haired friend a text. Then it hit her. She didn't have his number! She groaned. How stupid can one be. Now she had to find him herself to ask if he's free. But wait. He's the freaking Prime Minister! And he was on a diplomatic visit! How can he have free time? She groaned again, annoyed at her own stupidity. How could she not think of that earlier?
Meanwhile, Karma had managed to sneak out for a while from the meeting. He had excused himself for a toilet break for a while, saying it was dead important. The other ministers were clearly disturbed by his lack of seriousness in the matter of discussion, but he's the prime minister. He's the boss. Karma knew that he must start to be more profesional and serious in his job, but hey, he's only 25! And at the end of the day, he still get the job done right?!
Using his stealth skill, he sneaked out the toilet from the small window to avoid the two bodyguards stationed outside. At first, he had refused the company of the black-clad men, but the ambasador had insisted. Remembering one of Koro-sensei's advice, he relented. Now, he was climbing the window to free himself. Within seconds, he did it! Still in stealth mode, he estimated the route to his car. Then he saw her. Rio was in her car, lightly hitting her head on the steering wheel. He smirked. Now what got her so worked up? With unusual speed, he sprinted to her car. He was glad to find the door unlocked.
"Ho- wha-," Rio stuttered, clearly Karma had caught her off guard. "Go. Hurry," he instructed. Knowing better than to ask questions now, Rio drove the car out of the embassy compound. She only stopped when they were a safe distance away. She turned to ask him question, but was cut off by the red. "What are you doing at the embassy? I thought today's your off day". She smirked. "I thought i was gonna play good host today. Y'know, show my friend around town. Then i remembered that he is the Prime Minister and he wouldn't have time tobplay tourist with me". When he didn't respond, she asked, "Why are you here? I thought you were supposed to be in a meeting or something?" Then it dawned on her. "You're ditching aren't ya?" His smirk was all it took to confirm her suspicion.
"Now, you wanna play host? Lets go. Show me around".
'And Nakamura, i'll always have time for you'.
