Neutral POV

As time passed for the two, Nagisa realised they should probably head back to his to keep warm. As much as they could sit and talk for hours, it wasn't best for neither of them to just stay here. He also knew there were only one bed and the school wasn't exactly warm.
The small assassin also knew his mother wouldn't be returning tonight as she had texted him a few hours ago to let him know there was food in the house.

Rather than text his mother back, he thought he would just explain the situation in the morning, she was out having fun, possibly getting drunk with her co-workers. Even though they were both closer now, they also had a lot of free time without each other. His mother didn't force him to do anything he didn't want to do anymore.

They two had easily made it to Nagisa's home with no time to spare, they were holding hands on the way back. Not hiding how they felt about each other. It was making them both smile and feel at ease.

Nagisa unlocked his door, going in before Karma did. "Please take your shoes off before coming inside, mum doesn't like it when shoes are worn in the house" The boy shrugged, as he was used to strict rules. After they had both taken their shoes off, the bluenette turned on all the lights around his home.

Karma was left at the door, kind of staring at the place curiously. It was small but cosy. He knew his mother had an average job compared to his own parents. So it didn't shock Karma, he knew about the boys past, he had just never seen his home before.

"Did you want some hot cocoa?" His crush asked as Karma was out of it. He shook his head, sighing. Where the fuck did my manners go? He hadn't even realised Nagisa was getting food out.

"Oh fuck, sorry. Yes please, did you want any help with anything?" He moved from the front door to stand beside the fridge and watched Nagisa shake his head. "No, no, it's fine. I usually cook for my mum anyway, I don't mind it! But if you wanted to take a shower whilst I did, that may be for the best" They were really filthy from their day out today. It was nothing different from usual, though.

Karma nodded and looked around the place for the bathroom. He didn't even know where it was and noticed the boy laughing at him. Without realising, he had also mistakenly left his bag beside the front door, which contained all his clothes. "Hey, it's not my fault I've never been here before!" He scoffed as if it was Nagisa's fault.

"Well, the bathroom is the other side of the kitchen, there are towels in the cupboard. Just don't use the pink ones, they are mothers" Nagisa hummed to the boy and watched him go past to the shower.

"Thank you~" He hummed, and this shocking to Nagisa he wasn't used to the boy being so polite. Why was everything changing so suddenly?

Whilst the other boy was in the shower, he was making pasta for the two to share. Something quick, warm and filling for them both.


Karma's POV

His place was putting me on edge, I never got invited 'round other people's houses. It was either because I seemed rich and spoilt or I wasn't trusted.

I sighed, looking at myself in the mirror. Yeah, he's right, I'm filthy.

It wasn't that I felt on edge, it was more of I didn't know what to do with myself. My manners were in a scramble and usually, I pretended that I had none, so I came across rude all the time. If I didn't, my 'rich kid' self would come out and I hated it. I sounded so fucking spoilt and that wasn't me.

I took my dirty school shirt off with my trousers and then my bottoms.

I looked at the shower, it seemed simple enough. I got in and closed the curtain behind me. I turned it on with medium heat, humming at how relaxing it was. Their shower head was a power shower, making the hard pressure of the water run down my back. Oh man, this is good.

As I relaxed into the water, I noticed all the shampoos and shower gels. Fuck, which one was his? I picked a few up and started smelling them to get Nagisa's one. I realised which one it was as it smelt just like him, mint. The smell was so comforting. I began to use it on myself to wash the dirt away.

How did I even know this was the kid's smell? I didn't even realise I was paying that much attention to him. As I washed it off, I smelt amazing. I decided on washing my hair also with a strawberry shampoo.

I stood with a moment to myself. Was I really here for a few days? Would Mrs Shiota allow this? I felt a little uninvited. But I tried to get these thoughts out my mind, Nagisa cared and it wasn't my home. I didn't have to feel this way.

I didn't have to feel neglected around him.

Nagisa didn't have to see that part of me.
Nagisa didn't have to know I'm scared.

I sigh and stop the shower. I got out and used the blue towel, I quickly dried myself so I wouldn't drip everywhere and cause a mess.

"Fuck" I cursed at multiple things. The towel was far too small, it only just covered my bottom half… I must have picked up his hair towel. Well, that and Nagisa was much shorter than me. I chuckle at that cute fact about him.

I had also forgotten my change of clothes. I waited for a moment as I had caught myself in the mirror. I always did love looking at myself after a shower. My body always looked so much better when it was wet, I slick my red velvet locks back and give myself a smirk.

Oh, that gives me such a good idea… I chuckle, noticing what would cheer me up.
