Beep… beep… beep…
The sound of his phone's alarm was the first sound he could hear that morning.
He found his eyes slowly took a peak of the phone. Even without their owner's permission.
His body was unable to move. He asked himself would it be alright if he slept for a little longer. Just a little longer.
But his mind was then flashed with a familiar color of red. No, remember? The date.
He wrestled with his blanket. His blue hair turned into a bird nest as he used all of his energy to climb out of his own bed.
Miraculously, he found his way to the bathroom without his eyes open. With the price of his head getting slammed onto the bathroom's door, of course. This woke him up completely.
He took a quick shower. Brushed his teeth with his toothbrush. He picked up his good old hair brush and started to comb his silky hair.
After making a mess of his closet, he finally found a casual white, long shirt, buckle belt, a steady navy-blue jacket, and brown pants. They looked like what you would wear on a windy end-of-November day.
Perfect.
He headed downstair, putting the coat on one of the chair. His mother would wake up in exactly 20 minutes. Better hurry!
20 minutes later, you could hear the sound of footsteps going down the stairs.
"Good morning!" Nagisa smiled.
"Heh? What's with the dressing up?" His mother seemed surprise "Don't tell me…"
Nagisa's cheeks flushed.
"Is it a date with your boyfriend?" Mrs. Shiota put a hand on her mouth, unable to hold down a smile.
Nagisa introduced Karma to his mother right after the burn-down-the-campus incident. He also explained that even if he likes guy, that doesn't mean he wants to be a girl. His mother approved their relationship almost immediately.
"Mom!" Nagisa yelped out of embarrassment.
The teen placed the plate of pancakes, eggs and bacons on the table, creating the sound clik… clak.
"You're not going to eat breakfast?" Mrs. Shiota asked curiously.
"We're going to eat later at the new brunch restaurant near the station" Nagisa answered, not wanting to make his mother worry.
"So you're going to meet up near the station as well?" His mother asked the second time, only with more teasing tone in it.
"Ye… Why do you need to know where we are going to meet up?!" Nagisa's face, once again, was covered with a blushing redness.
His mother finished her breakfast rather quickly, as she said there was an early meeting that morning. She didn't forget to look at Nagisa and smiled a secret smile behind her scarf before saying goodbye and rushing to work though.
The teen just finished doing the dishes, putting on his coat and scarf. He wondered did Karma come to the meeting place ahead of time.
True to his predictions, the red head was already waiting there on the train station platform, against on of the pole, playing on his phone.
He was dressed in a red t-shirt inside, with a cozy black winter jacket, a black scarf, and some baggy trousers. Nagisa had to admit, he looked good in black.
"Karma!" The blue head shouted.
Karma simply looked up, wondering who is calling him. A grin appeared on his face when he found out that it was Nagisa.
"Good morning!" Karma greeted. His expression suddenly changed from pleasant to worry in less than a second.
Nagisa was about to open his mouth to ask why when suddenly Karma put his own scarf on Nagisa's neck.
"Eh?" The blue-haired teen was surprised and speechless. He couldn't find the right word to say even in the three seconds afterward. But who could blame him, seeing that Karma's face was inches away from him.
"Be careful, or you might catch a cold" Karma whispered. Mercury eyes were caringly staring at the blue head's neck, finding how to put the scarf in a way so that Nagisa could feel warm. His lips were so close, all Nagisa needed to do was to reach out. He could feel the red head's warm breath on his face. His breath smelled minty fresh…
HE COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
He leaned his head forward, to Karma. More and more. So close, the red-haired teen could sense that his face was growing hotter and hotter… and…
Nagisa bummed Karma's forehead with all his might.
"What was that for!" Karma yelled out, putting his two hands on his forehead.
"You…you were too close..." Nagisa mumbled. He looked down at the ground, not wanting to look up. His face was as red as Karma's hair. "Al… Also, you should care about yourself first…"
The red-head's eyes widen.
He then smiled.
Then laughed.
And instead of learning his lesson and keeping the distance, he just approached closer. He put his hand in front of Nagisa's face.
"I'm just worrying about you. And I promise that I'll be fine" Karma chuckled.
"If… If you say so…" Nagisa muttered, as he finally looked up.
"Besides, we should go buy a new scarf for you after breakfast at the mall!" Karma smiled.
"What!?"
And they slowly walked away. Hand in hand.
A small snowflake fell down behind their footsteps. The first snowflake to mark this wonderful day.
Author's Note: I think the next chapter of I Love You should be about when Nagisa introduced Karma to his mother and father. I would love to see Karma being a trusty and loyal son-in-law :3 What about you? Actually, why don't you leave a review on whether you want to see Karma meet Nagisa's parents or not. Please follow and favorite the story. And thank you for reading! See you soon.
