A/N: thanks all for the reviews, favs, and follows :)

Just to answer a question: I came to like the shipping Itonami when I decided to try and write a one-shot requested by Litari. I was really contemplating on whether or not they would work, and I looked at the relationship chart thingy for the class, and I misinterpreted something - I thought that Itona was scared of Okuda and vise versa xD And I thought about how cute it would be to see them try and be brave and talk to each other, and learn that they have a lot in common; fun fact: they share the same favorite subject, science.

I feel like they'd be that hilarious couple who are just so honest and get embarrassed when they try to flirt - very poorly and obviously. I can imagine a protective Itona, and an angelic Manami trying to get Itona to be less violent and be nicer to Terasaka xD

Moving on!

This one's for Quilla xD I put a lot of puns in here, just for you, girl!

Pairings: Karmanami!

Hello, I Love You

~ Chemical Reaction ~

There relationship wasn't going anywhere, that, Karma was certain of. Why? Well.. this morning was a good example.

Karma was standing by Nagisa's desk, talking with a few of the guys before class started when Okuda Manami walked in the door. Turning his attention towards her, he couldn't help but notice that her hair was down, and that her cheeks were a crimson red. She had probably slept in today, and had run all the way here.

She was adorable, he thought, walking over to the girl.

"I feel like I've been hit with chloroform, because you just knocked me out when you entered the room." he said casually, leaning against the door frame, that characteristic smirk on his face. The flirting game was on.

She paused, looking at the schedule for the week and gave him a sideways look. "Eh? But how would you be able to recover so quickly?"

The flirting game was off.

"That was quite the ... reaction." Nakamura said to Fuwa, grinning. "Oh wait, wait, I've got something better for this situation: It seems that old chemistry jokes don't die.. they just stop reacting."

"Sttoooooop!" Fuwa begged, noticing that Karma was glaring at the two of them. "He might not find them... sodium funny." She couldn't really help it. The opportunity was there, and Karma might not be able to torture them yet as Manami is talking with the boy about something related to assassination.

Karma sighed in annoyance. All morning the girls had been making chemistry jokes, successfully teasing him about his poor attempt at flirting.

Well, this time he would get a positive reaction!

During a science lecture, Karma whispered close to the chemist girl: "You must be made of Uranium and Iodine, because all I can see is U and I."

She didn't react at all.

"What did the element say to the police?" Korosensei laughed, his face turning green and yellow striped as he passed by Karma and Okuda. "I CU Copper!"

Manami giggled at the joke, and Korosensei gave Karma a triumphant look. It would seem that he was the better jokester.

After class, when the two of them were walking home, Karma tried for the third and last time to get a reaction from the girl to one of his jokes.

"Okuda-san, you must be negative.." he said in a seductive voice.

"Eh?" Okuda gave him a weird look.

"Because I'm positively attracted to you."

Silence.

Karma looked at her expectantly, hoping for anything.

She then smiled up at him.

Success?

That smile turned into an extremely uncharacteristic smirk, as she reached up and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, bringing his face closer to her as she whispered, "Take all of your lame chemistry jokes... and Barium." She placed a kiss on his cheek, and then let go of him. She walked ahead, leaving him there dumbfounded.

Or should I say he... nah I got nothing, all the good puns ... Argon. ;D
