Nagisa couldn't get the past few hours out of his mind.
He blushed, splashed his face with cold water, then blushed again.


"Karma, I need to tell you something...!"
"What, do you want more, Nagisa?"

Nagisa froze. He knew Karma was smart. How he couldn't be fooled. How well he knew Nagisa's face.
Actually, he had expected it, but since he hadn't given any signs of having recognized Nagisa...

He managed to get himself together.
"So you've known this since the beginning...?"

Karma grinned.
"It was quite obvious. Seriously, what did you expect?" The smirk grew even wider. "But you make a breathtakingly pretty girl, I couldn't miss this opportunity."
"To make fun of me?"
"Hey, you started it!" laughed Karma. "So do you want more?" He leaned closer.

Nagisa's face reddened and he tried to push Karma away, but actually it didn't look like he was trying so hard. He just turned his head away.
"I-I need to go... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... for this stupid joke." He was gathering all his will in order to be able to talk about something else, instead of further blushing and flirting. "I've apologized. Now please let me go."

Karma retreated and looked at Nagisa with widened eyes. His previous grin was gone.
"Alright." He watched Nagisa's back as the boy was heading towards the exit. "By the way, I'm not mad at all."


'I'm done! Karma knew it all along and he still said those things...! He must have decided to trick me instead of me do the same to him... It was only entertainment for him, nothing else.'
He buried his face in his pillow.
'Is it disappointment or what? Because the plan wasn't working from the start?'
He rolled onto his back, lifted his hand and touched his lips.
'Hot. His were the same.'
As he closed his eyes, he unconciously recalled that feeling.

He found it strange. He had been kissed by Irina and had kissed Kayano from necessity, but this time it felt entirely different. It was somehow pleasant. He wasn't even disgusted by the fact it was with another boy - to be accurate, his best friend.
What made him feel miserable was that he knew Karma hadn't been serious about it.
'He enjoys teasing me, so probably he used the situation to play around. Maybe he even knew about Terasaka-kun's plan and went to the date because of it...'

He couldn't fall asleep. No matter how hard he tried not to, he still recalled the feeling of Karma's lips on his, over and over again.
He had to admit: "I want it to happen again."


The next day was the same as usual. He went to school, saw some of his classmates make an assassination attempt against Koro sensei - although they already knew they didn't have a chance, still it was what made class E the Assassination Classroom and they wanted to spend the remaining few months the same way as before.

During Maths, a piece of paper landed on Nagisa's desk.

The voice of the octopus-like creature could be immediately heard:
"Karma-kun, please don't take Nagisa-kun's mind off the lesson, you can say it personally ten minutes later."
"Alright, sensei, I will" responded Karma with a smirk.

Nagisa looked backwards, then averted his eyes as he saw Karma staring at him.
He read the message on the paper and blushed.
"Tonight at 6, the same place. Don't need to dress as a girl (though I wouldn't mind it)."


After the lesson, Nagisa got out of the classroom in a hurry.
Suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.
"Oi, Nagisa, it took you too long yesterday!"
He didn't even have to turn back to know who it was.
Then Terasaka stepped in front of him.
"We were thrown out because of you!"

Nagisa first got surprised, then he chuckled.
"No, probably because you looked suspicious. And here I thought you left because you knew Karma would notice you... I suppose he was right, you're really a bit..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it from you!" Terasaka paused for a moment. "Doesn't matter, tell me how much you humilated him! It looks like he's in a bad mood." He grinned.

Nagisa didn't know what to say. The truth was too embarrassing and wouldn't satisfy Terasaka's thirst for revenge.
"So what did you do? Tell me already!"

Nagisa took a deep breath.
"Well... He actually kne-"
Out of the blue, the mentioned red devil came to the rescue: he appeared behind the two and grabbed Nagisa's waist, then said:
"He seduced me, revealed his identity and I ran away." He sent a dark glance towards Terasaka. "Now go home, I have an urgent buisness with him."
Terasaka's eyes widened, then after a few moments, he started laughing.
"Haha, you must be mad. Just so you know, it was my order, so go easy on him." Taking the threat seroiusly, he quickly went ahead of the two and waved back. "Good job, Nagisa!"

Karma sighed.
"Great, he left."
"Yeah..." Nagisa looked at the hand still on his waist. "Erm... you can let me go..."
"I don't feel like it, but thanks for giving me the permission."
"Hey... Karma..." yelped Nagisa as he felt the other boy's hand sliding down from his hips.
"Oops, my hand slipped."
"Are you doing it because of yesterday? I already said sorry!"
"That has nothing to do with it." Karma smirked. "I'm not mad at all, I told you when you left. It seems like you didn't hear it, so I came to tell you again, so that you can come tonight." He brushed Nagisa's hair. "See ya!" And disappeared between the trees.

'I wonder if he can get home faster that way' crossed Nagisa's mind then he switched back to the actual problem.
'Damnit, he said it like he was sure I'd go!'
He looked at the ground.
'Wouldn't I go anyway?'


Nagisa was way too anxious to do anything. He was thinking over the whole situation again and again.

'So he's not mad. Then why does he want to meet at the same place, only the two of us?' He hit the door frame. 'Ouch! He's really playing around, I know him that much!'
He stepped into the bathroom and saw himself in the mirror.
'So he wouldn't mind if I dressed as a girl?'
He let his blue hair fall to his shoulders. 'Or does he actually see me as a girl?'
His fingers unconciously wandered to his lips.
As he realized what he was doing, he freaked out.
'Why am I acting like this again? I don't have to play this role anymore!'

He ran back to his own room and started searching for proper clothes.
He was trying to find his most masculine piece of clothe while putting his hair into his usual pigtails.
'Just wait, Karma, I'm not gonna wear female clothes even if it's for you!'

Then his hand stopped in the air.

'What I just thought... Does it matter I'm meeting Karma and not an other classmate? Does that mean Karma's special for me?'

This sudden discovery relieved him so much he could've laughed.

'I'm a boy, so I definitely won't dress as a girl.'
He pulled a simple long sleeved shirt out.

'But for you, I can wear the same hairstyle as two years ago.'
He let down his hair again.

"Because you're special."


Hiromi wanted to know everything about the previous date, but his son didn't say anything since last night.

He suddenly came out of his room.
In casual clothes, blue locks swimming around his shoulders, wearing an honest smile.
"Mom, I'm leaving for a few hours again."

Before she could say anything, her son had already left.


Anxiety won against the previous pleasant excitement after seeing Karma in front of the entrance.

The other wasn't calm either.
His eyes widened as he looked at Nagisa.
The boy was wearing a dark, long sleeved V-necked shirt which made his s lender waist more prominent; and fitting jeans that emphasised his pretty blue hair down on his shoulders made his figure even more beautiful.

Karma let out a breath and said:
"I thought you wouldn't dress as a girl."
Nagisa hit him on the arm.
"Hey, that was mean!"
Karma chuckled.
"It was a joke." Then he leaned closer and whispered: "It suits you."

Nagisa blushed.
"Cut it out!" he whined, then looked at the building. "Anyway, are you planning to go in?"
"As you want." Karma smiled. "But just to remind you, we agreed on something yesterday."
"So you want to go in."
"Oh, you know me well."


They were sitting on the opposite sides of the quite long table, staring at each other's eyes.

Nagisa broke the silence:
"Tell me, are you doing this to revenge that thing yesterday?" he asked.
"Why would I?" Karma shrugged his shoulders. "If you're still worried about it, I'll tell you once more that I'm not mad." A grin appeared on his face. "And hey, I also tease you sometimes, why not do the same?"
"Then why did you want to meet only me and here of all places?"
"Can't I?"

Nagisa sighed.
"It's not that you can't, but I don't understand your purpose."
"What's wrong about hanging out with my best friend? We haven't done it for a long time."
"That's true, but I'm still not sure you don't have any ulterior motives..."

Karma raised an eyebrow.
"Do you want me to have?"
"Of course not!" protested Nagisa while shaking his head.

Karma chuckled.
"Actually, I do have one." He leaned closer, grabbed Nagisa's hand and placed a kiss on it. "I want you to be my princess."

"W-WHAT?" Nagisa freaked out, face reddening. "I'm not a girl!"

A wide grin appeared on Karma's lips.
"Oh, so your problem is only the female part?"
"No, no, no, that's...!"

Nagisa could've continued protesting, but that wouldn't change anything.
Instead, he said something else that left Karma surprised.


NOTES: So this was the second part. It's a bit too short and nothing really happens, but I wanted to split this part in two halves so that I can upload this one sooner. Just a little more and part 3 (the last) is ready, too.

Reviews welcome.
