Summary: Cross-dressing Mistake

It was another forced cross-dressing Saturday for Nagisa. But fate turns on him when he's forced to be 'Ichigo' in front of Karma for a day.

Authors Notes: Jeezus, fuck. This one shot came out long. It's now in two parts, oops.
I was just in love with what I was writing and imagining ahhaha. If everyone loves it enough, there may be a small smut part three. x3

I hope you enjoy the awkward babies, I certainly do~ As always thanks for love and support.

This isn't AS edited compared to my main FF. It's only a side project, so pls excuse the mistakes ;w; I'm sorry about the POV jumping around, I just wanted to try to get both of their thoughts in.

Nagisa's POV

Once again it was another Saturday, not my favourite day of the week. I was always out with my mother, missing out on the boys day to the arcades. It wasn't the fact of missing out on a day out with them, it was what I was made to do. It was who could and may see. I felt my confidence drop lower as people constantly had to look and tell me how pretty her daughter was.

Yes, daughter.

Before we left on Saturdays my mother had to dress me up like a Lolita doll. My face was covered with contour, concealer and foundation. My eyes had sparkles around them, eye shadow, eyeliner and fake eyelashes. My eyebrows were defined and plucked like a woman's. My lips were lined and filled in with light pink lipstick. She drew freckles covering my cheeks. Hair expansions clipped in so my hair could be put up like Sailor Moons. The dress was tight up against my top half and puffed out bellow from my underskirt. It was covered in bears and bows. She tied a bow around my neck and around my ankles. I wore white tights which made my legs look skinnier and platform dolly shoes.

I sighed to myself as I looked in the windows, I could see my ridiculous reflection. I hated it. I hate it every fucking time. But as I looked at myself, I remembered the time I said I didn't want to and how she hurt me. I had to bear it.

My mother pulled me along with her hand in mine. "Come on Nagisa-chan we're going in this one to look for a new mummy bag" That's all mum wanted was a girl to drag shopping and do girly things with. We had already been in a nail salon to get our nails manicured and painted. Thankfully she knew I had school on Monday so I wasn't forced to have fake nails. I looked at the bags with mother, knowing fully well she couldn't afford them. My mother didn't have the greatest amount of money or the best job, it was a surprise she wasn't in debt. I sighed looking at them with a poker face so mother wouldn't tell me off for thinking.

"What about this one 'gisa?" My mother cooed trying another bag on.

"It looks lovely Mummy, it really suits your face" I put on a higher pitched voice so no one could tell I was a boy. My smile was so fake but thankfully she couldn't tell.

"Awww~ you always have such a good sense of style, I best buy it then!" She smiled at me going to the counter to pay.

I stood by side the clothing, so I didn't stand out as much. I hid my face in the bags. So fucking humiliating…

Karmas POV

This day was going so damn slow. It always did whenever Nagisa-kun wasn't around. I was always so used to the twerp being here to either compete against or tease, it just made the day feel a little more interesting.

I sigh taking myself out of the group to play Dance Revolution. I tried to beat my old high scores. That was another thing I was good at, Nagisa-kun was nearly as good as I was. As - played, I began singing and showing off. Usually, I was able to haul a group of girls over which was most amusing.

As the kids came over to watch, I turned around to play backwards. Flashing my good looks towards the girls. I smirked using my devilish looks to their advantage. As much as I wanted to tempt the crowd further. I noticed someone in the crowd who looked a bit lost. They really caught my eye, they were beautiful.

That was so rare...
I stopped once the song had ended "And with that, I bid you goodbye, for now ~" Which I rarely did, I smirked and found myself run over to the person. I only just managed to get past the crowd of people to get to her. It was unusually busy, must be due to the road works. I caught her hand and I was flashed a gorgeous face...

It was something I recognised but didn't…? I was nearly dumbfounded as the girl looked at me with a flushed face. She almost looked at shocked as I did. Did I do something wrong?

Fuck.
I could barely think of what to say.

I took her into the arcade out of the crowd. As much as she looked panicked, I could tell she felt relieved for some reason. Her hand didn't feel tense in mine anymore. I felt myself slightly blush as I kissed the girls hand. "I'm Karma, pleased to meet your beauty~"

Nagisa's POV

I was stunned and flushed red. What was even happening? Did Karma-kun even know it was me? Am I meant to tell him? Or is this a sick joke?

As much as I wanted to believe that, I could see Karma-kun was looking at me differently compared to normal... It wasn't like how he looked at other girls, it wasn't like he was plotting something...
It was like he had found a genuine beauty.

I curled my hair with my other hand, avoiding those eyes he was giving. "I-I'm Ichigo, and nice to meet you too Karma-kun" I had to lie, if I didn't he'd catch on… That would be far too embarrassing, I couldn't let anyone know I was a boy. I would never hear the end of it. I avoided his gaze, in a way I was glad as my mother would never think to find me here. I looked towards the games, acting shy on purpose.
I didn't want Karma-kun to catch on.

"So now that formal introductions are gone, why don't you tell me why you're here? You seem very lost? And I don't know why a pretty girl like you would be alone" I saw Karma's eyebrows wiggle in the corner of my eye, I didn't want to look at him directly anymore.

I couldn't shift the blush, let alone look at my best friend dressed so unusual. I quickly thought of the best way out of this to not let him know anything... Thankfully Bitch-sensei had taught me things like this.

"Well, u-um I'm a tourist. I don't live here, I only came here to visit. I heard there was a cat café somewhere around here so I really wanted to visit it… Or the market with clothes like this, it's kind of my style" I sigh, looking a bit disappointed to be lost. I was possibly grateful mother had given me money in my account for today. I side eyed the redhead who was smirking to himself, obviously going to treat this as a date.

"I wasn't doing much anyway today, so if you'd like I could show you those places?" He sent me a wink, Karma-kun was very curious about me. I could tell by how he was speaking to me. If I was a normal girl to him, he probably would have wanted something in exchange for doing good deeds but it seemed he was just interested in me.

I interrupted his thought, trying to be out of character. I realised thinking I was a character was easing the embarrassment. "W-what like a date? I've never been on a date before" I hid my face with the fan out my bag, it was covered in more teddies and bows. Possibly brighter than the dress I was wearing.

"Well, of course." I watched him smirk at me, slicking his hair back in response.

"You're too cute to not to take on a date. Then let us be off, Ichigo-chan~" He cooed lowly at me, his arm was out expecting me to take it like a lady.

Oh, fuck no. Oh god.
I felt my face flush red again... Was this really happening?

I took it, linking our arms together. It was weird seeing Karma-kun this way, we ended up talking about loads of different things... We never had a chance to talk like this at school. It was about our favourite bands, favourite foods, games and hobbies. We had a lot more in common that I thought.

Karma-kun was nice when he was like this, I have never seen a sweet side of him before. It was a really nice change that I liked...

He was a gentleman if he needed to be. I suppose that's what happens when you have a good upbringing. We were walking through the city, he was talking me through the nicest parts so I could have a look around. I pulled my pink disposable camera out my bag, taking snaps of our beautiful city. My mum really did pack this bag well.

It really was about who you were with to enjoy yourself.
As I was distracted by taking photos, I was about to walk into the crossing without realising. I was easily pulled back by Karma-kun. His arm had pulled him close onto his chest.

I looked up, shocked at Karma-kun. My face flushed red at being so close, I could feel his more muscular body. I could see Karma was also blushing at his action. Our eyes both met for a second.
"T-that was a close one, fuck. Sorry a-about being so close suddenly… Ahahah…" He nervously laughed, trying to shrug away how he'd never been this close to anyone before.

I laughed too, pulling away. Karma-kun pressed the wait button to stop the traffic. "Why not document us here too~?" He looking at me with a smirk. I nod, despite how I didn't want to. I really didn't want to. This wasn't a time where photographic evidence was needed. But I did anyway, I turned the camera around pulling a silly cutesy face, my other hand went up into a peace sign like all the cutesy girls did online. I didn't even realise Karma-kun had snuck a hand around me to pull us together closer. He smirked and I snap a few shots.

"I bet they're kawaiii~!" I mused to the boy, giving him a wink. I noticed he kept his arm around me as we walked across the beeping crossing.
Karma-kun give me a point "There it is~!" He smiled, amused.

Despite knowing we had a café like this, I had never been in it before. Karma-kun was eager to go in as they all politely waved and said "Hi, welcome to cat café. Take a seat wherever you want. You came during the best hour, it isn't too busy right now" As the woman lead us around the café to different places to sit she just had to comment on how cute I was.

"And aren't you the cutest girl I've seen all day, no wonder you pulled such a hottie" She gave me a nudge as we found a place to seat with all the cats on the second floor beside the window. I grinned in response not giving myself away. I'm glad we had found an upstairs seat, it made it less risky for my mother to see me.

"There's plenty of me to go around ladies~" Karma-kun had to add, winking and smirking at the girl. For some reason, I felt I didn't like that.

Maybe it was because of Karma-kun's changed attitude towards me, maybe it was because I was enjoying myself… I really couldn't tell.

"Thank you~ that's really kind of you" I blushed at her comment, once again hiding my face with my fan to cover my embarrassment. The woman grinned and passed me a menu for all the hot drinks including cakes.

"Whoa, that's a lot of choices! Could you maybe come back before I decide? I may be a while" I laughed and she nodded. Before I carried on looking through the menu, I looked at the redhead from across me. He was seating more politely than usual, he had also stopped the sly remarks from before. Usually, if he got a response from a girl, he'd carry on and tease them until they were flushed red.

I decide to ignore it for now and realised it would probably be for the best to check my phone. I'm pretty sure it was on silent. I opened my bag to take a peer at it, noticing all the missed calls.

Fuck. I'm in deep shit.
But can I just walk away from this situation? Am I supposed to? What should I do? What did I want to do?
