Although Nagisa was pushing the other away, he found himself feeling safe and secure in the other arms. This feeling, he had it before. Just a few times, a long time ago. When he calmed down, the blue haired male was slightly disappointed when he pulled back. The baby blue eyes that Karma knew so well met sharp golden ones.

"Karma… you hurt me before… didn't you?"

It was silent before the older male looked down on the ground and back up. His eyes were a bit sad but his tone was quiet and confident.

"I did."

"You're going to do it again rig-"

"Listen to me Nagisa. Listen."

The red head took a deep breath as he looked seriously at the male in front of him.

"You're right. Absolutely right. I did try to hurt you, no, I tried to kill you. But as I tried you taught me many things. From little things like laughter to big things such as love. And I…"

He extended his hand out and took the other delicate hand into his. Nagisa eyes widened as the warmth he had been feeling every day came back to him.

"-never got to thank you. So this time, its my turn. I will make you smack yourself for ever thinking that you have no purpose in life. I'll make your days joyful and happy like you never been before. If you have no family, I will become one… Those are the words you said to me. I'll repeat them back for you."

The room was silent until the red head finally let go of his hand and tilted his head smiling.

"I'll teach you the things you taught me."

Standing up, he ruffled the other male that was on the bed's hair and was just about to leave.

"Wait."

"Hm?"

"How.. can I trust you?"

".. I suppose you can't. But I do hope you do. Get well soon."

The blue haired male heard the door closed as he looked out of the window. He knew he was missing important memories. According to Karma, he said those words to him. He could barely believe that he would say such cliché words to him, or to anyone in general. Furthermore, this beating of his heart was hurting him as well as making him overjoyed. What's up with all these weird things that was suddenly going on?

Sighing he closed his eyes knowing he want to trust the redhead for some odd reason. He scrunched his eyebrows as he tried to remember what was so good about the other male. Of course his looks and skills for underhanded tricks doesn't count. Wait. Underhanded tricks? E-class? What exactly was that class again?

"End class…"

His eyes reopened with some recognition in them. Koro-sensei.. was his teacher. Groaning he rubbed his head feeling a headache coming up. Looking at the door, he proceeded to put a foot on the ground. The moment both of his feet met the ground Nagisa grinned happily. He could at least stand. Taking one step forward, he immediately fell down on the cold ground. Despite that, he slowly got up again making his way out of the door.

By the time he was actually outside, he was panting and headed toward the men's bathroom. Holding onto the wall for his dear life he somehow found it easy to slip past people even though he was in this condition. Looking at the mirror he was a bit shocked. He doesn't remember looking this mature and old. Even though he hated to admit it, he looked more like a girl back then. Now… he look like in his 20s. Just like… Karma?

Making his way back, question filled his mind about what he should do. And for the next few days he decided to go with the flow. Let's see what the future brings.

About a week later, he was finally allowed to go out and walk normally. Karma took him outside and the first place he showed him was of course, the school. Pointing at the now abandoned building he smiled as he showed the blue haired male around. Suddenly Nagisa crouched to the ground.

"Nagisa, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just…"

Tears spilled out as he looked up into the red head eyes.

"Karma… who are all those people? Terasaka… Bitch-sensei… others… I remember them. Who are they to me?"

Crouching down with him, Karma smiled as he pulled Nagisa onto his chest.

"Is it really worth crying for? If I have to answer that, they're your precious friends and second family. Its been a while since I last saw them as well. "

Then a laughing prank loving red haired male came into his mind as well. He greatly resembled Karma, except the Karma now seems much more mature and understanding. But he remembered that person to be fun and secretly caring for everyone. Karma. They're the same person. How long ago was that?

The two of them sat down in front of the school as Nagisa asked questions after questions.

"Hey… is it really okay for me be alive at the moment?"

"What are you saying? You're the one that told me everyone have a purpose in life no matter how small."

"Did I?"

"Yeah. It was at the rooftop. Good times. But your words really saved me."

"Somehow I can't imagine that…"

"That's okay. Just focus on what is ahead of you. Really, I just want you to remember me though."

They both then enjoyed the peaceful silence as Nagisa fell asleep leaning on the red head's shoulder. Smiling, he leaned over and kissed the lips of the person he cherishes the most. Karma lifted the other up effortlessly as he went back to the hospital knowing Nagisa wasn't completely recovered yet.

Even after so many years, his feelings never changed. Biting the corner of his mouth, he looked up at the sky. Remembering his promise to his former teacher he smirked a little.

"After I kill you, I promise. I'll look after Nagisa heart and soul. Count me on that."

Its okay if Nagisa doesn't remember him. Its okay if he doesn't like him back. As long as he is safe, healthy, and protected, that's already enough for him. Even if they both have to face hardships, he would still like him all the same. Putting his hand in his pocket and clutching a small black box, he took a long deep breath.

Karma will wait until the time is right.
