Insecurities
Pairing: Nagisa/Kaede
Characters: Nagisa, Kaede, Bitch-sensei
Summary: To describe Kaede as insecure would probably be an inaccurate statement.
PROMPT: if it's okay, could I request for NagiKae (Nagisa and Kaede) from Assassination Classroom? Anything fluffy is fine. (Couldn't think up of a prompt, sorry)
To describe Kaede as insecure would probably be an inaccurate statement, and anyone who did so would be met with murmurs of disagreement and indignant protests from the rest of Class E. After all, Kaede is a chirpy and cheerful girl… Most of the time.
However, too often, Kaede finds her line of sight trailing downwards. She could be having a conversation with one of her classmates, or a neighbour, or the kind college girl who worked behind the counter of her closest convenience store, but then her attention would drop from the speaker's eyes, to their mouth. Lower, she'd look, until she finds herself inappropriately staring at the bulge of the other's chest.
And each time she looks up, with a pang of guilt, her heart would also sink a few inches lower.
Every day she looks in the mirror, knowing from her silhouette alone, she could easily pass for a boy instead. Her small boobs a constant reason for her to stare, then glare, at every other female she sees.
It became all too much when Bitch-sensei walked in one day with an extra-revealing shirt. It was too much, even for her, and the class definitely seem to think so as they whistled when she entered.
"She just came back from another infiltration project," Nagisa explains calmly as he slides down onto the seat next to hers. "She didn't have time to change, apparently."
Kaede turned to the bluenette, her heart skipping a beat. How did he know what she was thinking? And why does he even know so much about Bitch-sensei?!
"That's stupid, boobs are just fat. Why do guys care so much about it anyway?" Kaede complained, planting her head onto her desk with resignation.
Nagisa let out a non-commital hum, "Well, I don't think you should worry about that. There are so many other great qualities you have, you shouldn't let physical appearances bother you. There's a reason why everyone here in Class E likes you, and those reasons should be enough."
Kaede turns her head towards him, and finds herself face to face with a brilliant, warm smile. It triggers a smile of her own, her mood lifted as if there are a thousand wings supporting her weight.
"Thanks, Nagisa." Her reply is simple, but the words carry gratitude that's worth a million smiles.
