Nagisa's POV: "So, would your parents care if you went on a field trip due to 'school purposes'?" Asano asked as he, Nagisa, and Karma had lunch.

Karma shrugged, "my parents don't actually care if I'm home or not, the only time they want me there is if they have a bad day. They act like model parents in front of everyone but me so I would suppose that they'd be 'delighted' to let me go."

Karma sighed and picked at his peanut butter jelly sandwich.

"Can we not talk about them, please?"

"Ok, sorry I mentioned them."

"It's fine. Why'd you ask?"

"Well... Koro-sensei mentioned that we might take a trip somewhere."

"Oh." They hadn't even asked Koro-sensei yet.

"We need to tell Koro-sensei about the trip idea!" Nagisa exclaimed to Asano.

"You tell him," Asano said. "The octopus doesn't like me."

"You have to do it with me!" Nagisa said. "Koro-sensei doesn't know I know yet, remember?"

Asano sighed, "alright, alright."

They knocked on the teacher's lounge office. Koro-sensei opened the door, his large yellow head and beady eyes poking out, grinning widely as usual.

"Yes?"

"We need to talk to you," Asano said.

Koro-sensei nodded, smile still in place.

"Come in."

Koro sensei turned to the others sitting in the teacher's lounge a man with spiky black hair and an attractive women with blond hair.

"Tadaomi Karasuma and Irina Jelavic, I'm afraid I have some serious matters to talk about with these students and need privacy."

They left, Irina rolling her eyes.

"'Important matter.' What important matters can you discuss with kids in the stupid class?"

"We have an idea," Nagisa started.

"Oh?" Koro-sensei said, interested. "About what?"

"I already told him, octopus," Asano explained.

"Ah, so you have a companion."

"Sure, you could call it that."

"I think that we should schedule a 'field trip' somewhere-we don't know where yet-but somewhere where we can show Karma really great things."

Koro-sensei tsked, "oh children, everywhere in the world has 'great things,' I should know."

"Do you know a slight more great place?"

Koro-sensei just looked at Asano and Nagisa.

"You boys do realize that the trip going anywhere could cost up to your lives."

Nagisa bowed his head. "I'm sorry Koro-sensei but-"

"then we go somewhere close and easy," Asano interrupted. "Somewhere where Karma hasn't been."

"Clever." Koro-sensei's smile curved. "And how do you plan to make up an excuse for this?"

Asano shrugged, "oh that's easy enough, 'blah blah close to the end of school blah blah promotion party.'"

"Hmm. That could actually work. Tell me, as soon as you can, about when you discover a place you are sure of going."

"Alright."

As they left the office Nagisa said "see, I told you you needed to go! You're the one who convinced Koro-Sensei!"

"You told me to go because he didn't know you knew."

"Same thing!"

They found Karma stumped next to a vending machine, sipping strawberry milk.

"So, where were you guys?" Karma asked.

"We were-"

Asano signaled for Nagisa to stop. Karma wasn't paying attention, he was absentmindedly staring out of the windows, into the clouds. The question had been more of a question asked on whim.

"Are you okay Karma?"

Karma snapped out of his daze and gripped the strawberry milk harder.

"I hate it when people ask me that-I'm not I'm not I'M NOT FRICKING OKAY!"

Karma turned to Asano and Nagisa.

Asano took a step backwards. "Karma..."

Karma's eyes were full of anger and sadness, his voice was the sound of anger being held too long inside. He was so full of anger that he was shooting it out like daggers at whoever was there.

"WHY CAN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT?!"

He lunged at Asano and Nagisa began to step for ward but Asano shook his head.

"It's okay, Nagisa," he said, quietly. "He needs to let his anger out."

Nagisa nodded but his body was still tense and alert, ready to step in at any moment.

Karma jammed into Asano, pressing him to the wall as their bodies collided. The touch was electric, sending shocks into Asano's body, putting his body in a sort of panic that he couldn't get out. He couldn't move. Karma pounded Asano's chest, his fists getting weaker at every contact.

"I can't-" he wheezed. "I can't keep on living... not like this."

He looked into Asano's eyes, his holding burning anger. Anger at his parents, at everyone, at the world. To Asano, it was like the sun appeared.

"Yes you can," he whispered and, as if on instinct, he kissed him.

It was like a firework had gone off in his mind: A blinding light of colors, seeing the sun rise, finally standing at the top of a staggeringly tall mountain.

It was all of these wonderful moments and the kiss sent so many mixed feelings in Asano that he could never even begin to describe that were wonderful and strange and foreign but none of them were disgust.

They pulled apart regretfully, out of air. Karma looked at Asano with a new expression.

Wow, I actually did it, Asano thought. I finally did it. I kissed Karma.

"Even if you don't feel the same way, you have someone who really wants you to live," Asano said, still kind of breathless.

Karma shook his head. "Wow. I never thought-I thought you only liked what you couldn't have."

He leaned in and kissed Asano again. Asano could still not get used to the kiss, the feeling, knowing that you loved someone for the first time and they loved you back. They heard the click of a camera and stopped kissing to see who it was.

It was Nagisa, holding a camera and taking pictures. He looked over at them, tears running down his face and smiling.

"Why are you crying?"

Nagisa sniffled and wiped his tears away. "It's just that you guys are so-that was beautiful."

Then he put up the camera, hiding his face.

"So, you guys wanna kiss again so I can get it on tape?"

Asano and Karma laughed but kissed again, savoring being with each other in this unknown sort of love.

Nagisa smiled. I'll get over it.

Author's note: I'm sorry the kiss took forever, I just don't believe in having the kiss as the first chapter: it needs to be a gradual add(I don't know if mine was). I was kind of writing and waiting for a moment to put it in! So this is the first kiss scene I've done and sorry if it's terrible but not writing from my experience because I've never kissed anyone so erm... hope you liked this chapter
