Love Triangle
Chapter 17. Flustered
Nagisa woke up.
It's the middle of the night, he assumed, as everything was dark and quiet.
The whole room was pitch black, with the only thing that he can see is that single red line that signify his life.
He lied there, on a cold bed, with wires connect to his skin, scratches and scars all over, his right leg hung up into the air, and his left hand held tight.
That was when he noticed the slight snores and warmth emitting from someone near him. The hand seems to squeezes Nagisa's hand tighter every now and then, as if scared that he will just dissapear.
When his eyes finally fit in, he already knew who is it that was next to him.
"Hey…" He whispered, gently tapping the other boy on the shoulder.
The boy flinched, almost fell, but then adjust himself back up. He opened his eyes sleepily.
It took him a while to registered what was happening. But he was relieved, as he sighed.
"Nagisa" The words he softly lets out traveled into the air between them, into Nagisa's earlobes.
The blue head was overwhelmed with so much happiness.
It has been so long since he could hear Karma's voice in peace, and he was so glad that the first word that Karma said was his name.
Tears easily rolled down Nagisa's cheeks. He covered the bottom half of his face with two of his hands and bent down a little.
Even though Karma's face showed that he worried, and the tears were sparkling in his eyes as well, his teasing words were still there.
"Why are you crying, shorty? It's just me" Karma said as he smirked.
"Dumbass, I'm crying because it is you. You're the real Karma right? I'm not hallucinating right?" Nagisa scolded, even though he was smiling.
"Of course it's me. Who can even begin to recreate such a handsome face?"
"Stop boasting yourself!"
Karma chuckled, Nagisa giggled, and their hands were still connecting.
When their teasings and scoldings have finally stopped, Karma's voice suddenly turned a bit sad, a nit worried.
"So you're not mad at me?" Karma's glimmered golden eyes looked straight back at Nagisa's. His feelings and words were genuine, and he's not sure how to express them, but he tried to.
"No, I'm not" Reasurrance words.
"Why?" The red head questioned, not sure of what's he expecting.
Nagisa looked up into the distance and recalled everything he saw in his dream as he hesitated "Well, it's obviously because I can remember everything now"
"You can? Even the time when we confessed, and kissed, and hugged?You really can?" Karma blushed, with his tone rather excited, yet trying too keep it down at the same time to not get his hopes up.
"Yes, I definitely do" Nagisa confirmed, nodding quickly and squeezed Karma's hand just a bit more.
"I remembers you pushing me against the walls, asking me if I like you. I remembers you being super romantic on that ferris wheel. I remembers you, and I missed you, a lot"
They stayed in silence for a little while, simply being too happy.
"Does that means I can do this though?..." The red head muttered and put his hands on Nagisa's cheeks.
A chaste kiss, as smooth as butter and as light as a feather, but butterflies have started to form in their stomachs.
"Yes. Yes, you may" The blue head smiled.
Nagisa felt flustered, if only this moment can go on forever.
