Nagisa stood and looked at the different kinds of teddy bears. He smiled at them and thought they were cute. I want to buy one for Karma! He then found a red one that was a little less cute, however, he thought it was perfect. Happily, Nagisa grabbed the bear and turned to look for the check-out. He realized too late that there was someone behind him and Nagisa's spinning around made them spill their soda. It did not take long before he felt a fist connecting with his face. The force of the punch sent Nagisa towards the ground.

"What the fuck is your problem!?" he screamed at him. The guy, along with two others that Nagisa hadn't noticed, kicked him multiple times in the stomach and once in the face as well. Nagisa gasped, he could not breath after the kicks. He trembled as he started to get scared. They could easily kill him. He was too scared of fight back.

"I-I am sorry!" he managed to apologize. They stopped kicking. The one who seemed to be the leader, smirked in a haughty way.

"You are sorry? You are nothing but a stupid kid! You are just trash" he yelled and made the bluenette freeze as he heard it. He is right… Nobody around us tries to help me... I am worth nothing… He felt himself start trembling even more in fear. Karma ran as fast as he could to get over to the bluenette before they would hurt him more. Sugino ran to help as well.

"Stop it!" Karma screamed and gave the leader a punch in his face and forced him away from the bluenette. He kicked the other guys as hard as he could to get them away from his beloved. He hurried down to help the bluenette up and looked at him. He was bleeding from his mouth, probably from the kick to his head.

"Nagisa, are you okay?" Karma caressed his cheek and then noticed how much fear there was in Nagisa's eyes. Nagisa was completely frightened and did not react to the red haired's presence. Karma glared as his head heated up in rage and his blood started boiling uncontrollable. He rose and rushed over to the group and started punching and kicking them as hard he could. Sugino ran over to Nagisa and squatted in front of him. He could see the fear in his whole face and he was trembling all over his body. His eyes were big and he did not react to anything around him. He was just sitting and trembling while staring into the mid-air.

"Nagisa…" he whispered in concern. He then looked towards the fighting boys. Suddenly more guys came and defended their friends. Sugino feared that they would hurt Karma and considered calling the police. As he saw how Karma beat them all to bloody pulps, he knew that if somebody would die in that battle, it would be those who attacked Nagisa. He rose quickly and ran over to stop Karma.

"Karma! Stop now! Let's get out of here!" Sugino yelled and grabbed him by the shoulders. He trying to hold him back from hitting Nagisa's attackers again. They were all almost dying from their injuries. Sirens were howling in the distance making everyone around them run away. Sugino knew it was the police and pulled Karma away.

"Forget them! Let's get Nagisa out of here!" he yelled. Karma was trying the whole time to get over to the attackers, but as he heard the name of the bluenette, he stopped. He looked back at the baseball boy, confused, and then realized what was going on around him. He then nodded and rushed over to the bluenette. He tried to ignore the trembling. Karma took Nagisa into his arms and held him bridal style and hurried away. They got away before the police caught them. Sugino looked worried at the two of them.

"That was a close one…" he sighed heavily. He looked at how Karma looked worriedly at the bluenette. He could see something that he had not seen before. The look in his eyes was filled with love and helplessness. They were both concerned for the bluenette. Karma sighed out as he looked at the bluenette. Nagisa was not reacting to anything at all. It was like he was locked up in his own body and all he could do was tremble as if he was freezing.

"I am nothing… I am worth nothing…" Nagisa started whispering. Karma heard it and did not like it. He looked at the bluenette with a look that he hoped would break him out of his trance and cheer him up.

"Hey, don't say that… That is not true…" he whispered, but Nagisa did not react at all and whispered on. He sighed heavily and looked at Sugino.

"I will take him home… Remember not to say anything about Asano or about what happened just now." He said to Sugino who nodded. They parted.

Karma got through the check-in point with the bluenette. He walked up to the track and got on the first train that would be leaving. He sat down the bluenette and let him stand on his own. Nagisa just stood there like he had seen a ghost and did not move at all. As the train drove, Nagisa lost his balance and was caught by the red-head. Karma hoped that there would be some kind of reaction and the bluenette looked up at him, confused. He was surprised and then relieved. Even with a big bruise in the face and blood slightly out of the mouth, it was good that the bluenette was this strong.

"Karma?" Nagisa asked seeming tired. Karma smiled a little, sighed, and then just wrapped an arm around the bluenette's head and pulled him into his embrace while having his other hand holding onto a handle. Nagisa felt it and then looked down while slowly grabbing the back of his friend. He felt safe but still very sad. Karma did not mind and looked around to see people look confused at them. He did not really care and just waited for the train to arrive at the station they had to get off at. It was quiet between them all the way. Karma just made sure that the bluenette felt safe and no one got too close to them. They finally arrived at the station and got off. He let go of Nagisa and waited for the people to leave first and then get of himself along with the bluenette. As soon the train left and the platform was empty, he looked concerned at the bluenette.

"Are you better now?" He asked and got the bluenette's attention. Nagisa nodded shortly and looked down, great sadness radiating off of him. It was clear that he was not okay at all. Karma slowly moved a hand lightly over the bluenette's face and Nagisa looked surprised at him.

"What-?"

"Stop looking like that… I know you were attacked just now. But normally, you do not get so depressed after something like that. You usually just smile as soon as you know you are safe…" Karma said with a serious look. Nagisa was surprised over what the red head told him and then smiled a little sadly.

"Karma… I don't think that you understand… Everything changed after the rape. I am not like that anymore…" Nagisa said and then started to leave the platform. Karma quickly grabbed the bluenette's wrist and then pulled him into his embrace. He did not mind that the bluenette tried to get out of the embrace.

"Even so… Cheer up. I hate seeing my boyfriend look so sad…" he whispered. Nagisa flushed and froze as he heard the B-word. He looked confused up at the red haired and was not quite sure if he heard right.

"B-Boyfriend…?" he asked.

"Of course… Now that we both like each other, why not just become lovers?" Karma said and smiled to cheer up the bluenette. Karma caressed Nagisa's hair and played a little with one of the pigtails; he then kissed the bluenette on the tip of his ear. Nagisa was still blushing but then felt his fear of being touched take over as he felt a hand grabbing his butt. He quickly went into defense-mode and shoved away the red-head. Karma looked confused and concerned at the bluenette. Nagisa saw the look and smiled sadly as he felt tears stream down his cheeks. He covered his face to hide it. It is not true… I am not his boyfriend. Who would want to be my girl- or boyfriend when I am so weak…

"Those fears will never disappear… Just stop trying to cheer me up with those kind of lies…" he whispered while sobbing, Nagisa continued to cry.

"Why the hell do you think I am lying?" Karma burst. He had enough of the negative attitude. He wanted the bluenette to stop thinking like that. He was about to give up on him, but he loved him too much to do that. Nagisa backed off as he got frightened by the screaming. Karma saw the reaction and then calmed down.

"Listen, Nagisa, I want to make myself clear. I have no intention of lying to you, you are the one I love. That means that you should stop being so negative and try thinking positive. People around you care about you… We already had this discussion once before." He said, approaching the bluenette.

"Then explain me why people keep attacking me…! I must be worth nothing when all people want is to have me gone!" He exclaimed and made the red haired stay away. He embraced himself and then faced the ground. He was feeling sick. Karma sighed heavily and went over to him. He wrapped his arms around him.

"Nagisa… Those people are not close to you, they do not even know you. Everyone in class likes you a lot… Remember the good things instead of the bad things…" He said and held him tightly into his embrace. Nagisa listened to Karma's and sobbed as he knew the red-head was right. He nodded.

"I am so sorry…" He whispered and hid his face in Karma's chest. Karma heard it and sighed heavily. He caressed the bluenette's hair and kissed him on the top, right between the pigtails. Nagisa felt it and he started to get better as his heart felt lighter, he relaxed in the embrace. He is right… At least… I have my friends… Kayano, Sugino and the others… And of course… Karma… He smiled warmly at the thought. He lifted his face and looked up at the red haired without saying anything, he just smiled at him. Karma smiled warmly as he knew the bluenette was alright now. He tilted his face and connected their lips. Nagisa closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss that soon became more lustful. Nagisa felt the kiss turn into something else and blushed a lot. Karma sucked on the bluenette's lower lip and then cupped the cheeks of the bluenette to make him open his mouth. Karma stuck in his tongue and tried to play with his partner's tongue. Nagisa gasped as it took away his breath. He enjoyed it but started drooling as he could not swallow his saliva. Karma felt a pair of hands grabbing his shoulders and tried to shove him away. He pulled back just a few centimeters.

"Are you better now?" he looked at the quite aroused boy. He chuckled as he took the look he got as a yes. He kissed him once on the lips and then moved down to the neck to make love to it. He kissed it multiple times. Nagisa giggled as it was tickling.

"Stop it… not here…" There was no one around, but it was still weird for him to do something like that in a public place. Karma pulled back and then looked with a little blush in his face.

"Want to go someplace else? We are a little far from my house…" He knew it was not today that they might find their way to a bed. He let go of the bluenette. Nagisa felt loved and his heart had healed once again.

"Maybe I should get home… I do not even have a phone on me… who knows what my mother is doing by now…" He said smiling. Karma sighed shortly as the bluenette was right. He nodded.

"Let me walk you home then…" Nagisa could not say no and then let the red haired follow him on the way to his home.

They walked side-by-side all the way. As they had walked a little, Karma softly moved closer to the bluenette and reached for his hand. He grabbed it and looked down with a little nervous look. He glanced at the bluenette to see how he felt about it. Nagisa looked down and blushed as he felt their hands holding onto each other. He felt how their fingers were plaited. He enjoyed it fully. Karma kept his eyes on the road afterwards and just walked. They walked further and as they reached the apartment complex, Nagisa made Karma let go of his hand.

"What is wrong?" Karma asked and stopped to look confused at the bluenette.

"I do not think my mother would approve it…" Nagisa explained and smiled at little unsure.

"Why? I love you and that woman has to accept that…" Karma mumbled irritated and crossed his arms. Nagisa could see it was hard to make him make up his mind and just let him go with him up to the door. They came up to the right floor and now stood in front of the door.

"Please… stay here…" Nagisa said before reaching out for the handle. He opened the door and went inside. He closed the door behind him. He went into the living room and looked around. Everything was dark.

"Mother?" he went to her room and saw her sleeping. He sighed shortly and then quietly exited the door. He did not get to close the door before he heard something.

"Nagisa? You home?" Nagisa's mother was awake. She sat up in the bed and looked at the almost closed door which Nagisa decided to open again to face his mother.

"Yeah, I am home…" he answered and went over to her bed, she looked confused.

"You suddenly disappeared after telling me about that… Akabane-boy…? I heard he was released. Somebody properly paid caution" She sighed tiredly and then looked at her son, Nagisa shook his head.

"No. I told them that I did not want to report the incident…" He had to correct her. She looked confused at him.

"Huh? Nagisa, turn on the light… I cannot see your face properly…" she said to him and waited for him to do as he was told. Nagisa turned on the light and then faced his mother, she looked shocked at him. He had a bruise on his face and his clothes were dirty.

"What happened to you this time!?" She burst. This time, however, she was not worried. She actually thought it was his own fault. Nagisa looked surprised at her as he got the reaction, he sighed as he did not really want to talk about it.

"Wrong people, wrong time… Mother… I want you to apologize to Karma for accusing him without any evidence. It was really wrong of you to tell the principal without letting me know first…" He said with a serious voice. His mother turned all dark in her face as she met a disrespectful attitude. After all I did for him, he wants me to apologies to a brat who raped him!? What the heck is that I raised? He is nothing…

"Apologize, you say?" She forgot all about what he had been through and just wanted to punish him. She rose from the bed and then walked over to do nothing, but giving him a slap in the face. He did not move anything but his face in the direction it was shoved.

"Don't you dare tell me what I should do! I am your mother! You are nothing but a little disrespectful child!" Nagisa heard the word again. Nothing… He backed off. The slap was nothing, but the words were harsh. He had enough. He stood up and face his mother properly.

"You accused Karma without asking me if it was true! The real culprit has apologized twice and I forgave him. I want to forget it all now!" He said, defying his mother. Hiromi gave him a furious look and quickly grabbed one of his pigtails and pulled in it to punish him. He gasped in pain and tried to get her to let go of him.

"You little spoiled brat! I gave you everything and now it is my turn to get punished? Forget it!" She pushed him into the wall behind him and backed off herself. He fell to sit down up against wall. She then laughed as she knew what she had done was not right. She felt crazy and then looked at the red haired boy who now stood in the door, looking pissed.

Okay... I hope you will forgive me to make this woman a person we all will make... again... xDD

I hope you liked the chapter~ Tell me what you hope for next~
