New chapter yay. Thanks very much for the favorites ant followers. I hope you'll like this one. the final scene popped into my mind after seeing a fanart of these two. I will later on post the link of.
Enjoy the chapter and pls review if possible.
After leaving Karma and Koro-Sensei, Nagisa and Rin headed to the train station, Rin looking at her phone with a satisfied smile. Nagisa on the other side went through the scene that was happening just before his teacher interrupted him.
What was he going to do? Was he really trying to kiss… he shook his head to get that last thought out of mind. No he said to himself, that can't be. He was thankful for Koro-Sensei to arrive, even though one part of his mind was disappointed, but he wouldn't admit it. Besides he could swear to have heard him scream before, but nevertheless.
He glanced over to the girl next to him. She was pretty busy in her phone, Nagisa started to wonder what exactly was there, but didn't bother to ask. He was glad that Rin went to the restroom, it would have been embarrassing if she had seen them. But still, he wanted to be confirmed of that though. "Koro-Sensei is a horrible stalker, isn't he?" said the short boy, trying start the conversation at a point where it was surely unsuspicious. "Yeah, he is really annoying."
"Yeah", Nagisa laughed nervously giving it a chance to go further. "Karma and I were in an interesting conversation, when he surprised us."
"What conversation?"
Nagisa panicked, still kept calm. "Nothing in your interests, just Sonic Ninja." It was clearly a lie, Rin could say that even if she hadn't seen these two. "Oh really?" replied the young girl and it made him panic even more. "Yeah." Rin put her phone back in her jeans pocket, smiling like some kind of villain would do, when he had cornered the hero of a story. You little liar, thought the girl what to do about you?
"Besides, have something in mind?" she asked changing the topic and deciding to let Nagisa believe what he hoped. I wait until it's more fun.
She remembered his reaction when he realized that soon was Karma's birthday. "For that idiots birthday I mean." Nagisa let out a 'Oh' at remembering his earlier thoughts. He had something in mind. "Well, I wanted to make him a surprise. Karma doesn't really celebrate his birthday, neither Christmas."
That was kind of sad, but seeing Karma in his house Rin had an idea that being alone takes any will of doing that. It made sense. "So what are you going to do about it?"
Nagisa shrugged. "I'll text the others to help me plan an idea for it. Hopefully Karma will skip some lessons so all of us can do something." The black haired girl nodded. "If you want to, you could also help", suggested the smaller one nervously. He knew that she disliked Karma, but if Rin helped along they might be able to do something great.
"I'll think about it." Was the only reply when the girl went ahead. Ready to say goodbye. In that moment Nagisa realized something. She lived somewhere near Karma's house. Right now she was most probably going in the opposite direction than she usually went to get home. "Isn't your house in the other direction?"
"Yeah. There is something I have to do. Mind your own business" With these words the said girl left him behind. Her business? Repeated the short boy, she is always digging her nose into mine.
Next day
Everyone gathered in their classroom. Early enough so that they had time to discuss any ideas. Since Nagisa asked everyone to help him. Even Terasaka showed up what Nagisa would have never ever expected.
Fortunately Karma didn't show up early. Perfect. "So Nagisa", started the class rep. "Have you some ideas? In which direction we should focus on?" Nagisa thought for a while. "What about a special place?" suggested Kayano eagerly. "I'm sure celebrating in another place is a good start!"
Everyone let it go through their minds. True. It should be better to celebrate somewhere else instead of the big mansion in which he lives almost totally alone. Besides thinking about the opportunities of Karma's pranks to increase to an unthinkable degree sent a shiver down Nagisa's spine. It definitely is better to be somewhere else. And class E wouldn't do it either since they were there all the day.
"Well, sounds good. But I think best is to be somewhere where all of us can be. If we all are there with him that should make him happy", said the blue head. The others nodded in understatement. Turning their eyes to a certain someone sitting back in the class. Not bothering to listen to them she read a book. "All of us?" they all repeated in same time. "I hope you didn't count me on it", replied the girl. Cold. There was no way Rin was going to Karma's birthday party. Never.
"But you could use the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with us", said Nagisa. "What if I don't want to?"
So mean! "Then give us at least an idea what we can arrange." The girl finally looked in their direction. Ready to give her thoughts. "Fine" she sighed, leant forward. "I have an idea." "But nothing that would kill him or anyone else" said Isogai. Rin rose both her arms in offense "What do you think of me?!" She stared for a short while at her classmates. Looking at her with the expression do-we-need-to-answer?
"Don't worry I won't do anything like that" she promised "Do you want to hear my idea or no?" And so everyone came closer to hear it.
They all nodded. It was a good idea. Rin suggested something where they can take Karma to without making him suspicious and have everyone around. Nagisa was happy. In first and second year he was at Karma's home. Wishing him happy birthday and giving him a present. Karma's reaction surprised him, though. As if receiving a gift from someone for the first time in his life. It should be different to be with the E class. Hopefully.
Picturing his surprised face Nagisa couldn't help but smile brightly. Such a reaction would be seen hardly by others and thinking about the overwhelming happiness Karma will feel made him blush slightly. It deepened when he realized that he was fantasizing about his best friend. A weird thing to do rhough. He quickly glanced around. No one saw his sudden reaction. Luckily.
"Besides Nagisa", someone called from behind. Making his heart burst. Again his cheeks heated up. "Oi Nagisa!" He turned towards Kayano right beside him. "Y-yes!"
"Where you spacing out or what?"
"Yeah, sorry for that" he smiled sweetly in means of apology. "Well never mind. Have you thought about a present?" He thought. Did I? There wasn't anything he had decided yet. He was too busy with the idea how to celebrate that he totally forgot.
"Don't tell me you haven't thought that far?" she asked, which sounded more like scolding him. "W-well I think I'll give him something related to Sonic Ninja or so" he said. Kayano sighed. "I can't believe you guys." She shook her head. "You should give him something special, shouldn't you?!"
"But what? I don't know what else he could like."
"I think you would be good."
The attention went to the black haired girl joining them. Smirking an unusual evil smirk. More like Karma, but he shouldn't say that out loud. "What do you mean?" asked Nagisa slightly blushing. "What do you think though?" replied Rin still smirking with narrowed eyes. His blush deepened. "Wha… it's not that…"
"I didn't mean it in that way though" she hold a sheet of paper and put it down on his desk. "But seems like you have dirty thoughts on it." Nagisa slammed his face on his desk totally ashamed. "You are unbelievable."
The black haired girl just laughed while Kayano stared in confusion. Rin waved it off giving her a signal to talk to the ashamed boy. "Well I- no we had an idea for you." She leant in whispering something to his ear. She pointed on the sheet at the desk.
"What do you think?" she asked excited. Obviously expecting the other one to like their suggestion and agree. "But how are we going to do this?" asked the short boy.
Rin put an assuring hand on his shoulder. "Leave it to us." Kayano smiled one last time before going back to her seat when the bell rang. Nagisa stared at the left girl. "Um.." he turned to look straight at her. "I thought you hate Karma. Why are you doing all this then?"
"I have my reasons."
Somewhere after break time Karma arrived for one math lessons. Actually the final lesson of the day which made Koro-Sensei pout a bit. "Karma-Kun don't be always so mean! You should care a bit about my own feelings and show up in other lessons too!"
"Whatever octopus", replied the redhead with a cheeky grin. Since he wasn't there almost the whole day his classmates were able to discuss their plans and ask Koro-Sensei to help them. The only thing left was to decide where they need to go and what must be prepared.
Unfortunately there wasn't any time left for that, even though Koro-Sensei gave them some time to discuss. They had to stop immediately as the delinquent of their class arrived, gaining a weird look from him as they looked at him in silence.
Kayano was the one to cough off the silence and pretend like she had been talking about other things. So did the others and Karma didn't really bother to ask. So there everyone sat in relieve. They weren't discovered yet, but need to be on guard. Karma was smart, another situation like this and their surprise will flop.
After the math lesson everyone bowed for a goodbye to their teacher and start leaving the room. Kayano turned to Karma and Nagisa who like always were about to leave together. "You two are today on duty! Have you already forgotten?" Both boys sighed in annoyance. "So what?" replied Karma, "we could just leave. Who's gonna stop us, he?"
"We should do our duty" said Nagisa, "otherwise we have to hear Koro-Sensei's lectures." That was explanation enough for them to start cleaning up. After all with his Mach 20 speed there was no way to escape a stalking octopus. And not to forget that his lectures are painful to hear, especially for Karma.
So Karma was cleaning the blackboard while Nagisa was sweeping between the desks. Every time he got his chance the blue head would peek over to his friend at the blackboard, doing nothing but staring. And when Karma felt eyes focused on him he would turn around just a second too late to realize that his friend looked away from him. So he just shrugged it off to be his imagination (and sweatdropping at his teacher's weird drawings).
On the other hand Nagisa couldn't understand himself. Sure he was glad to be close to Karma, but it wasn't something new. He was like that before. So why was there that strange feeling? He admired Karma, even in the times back then he observed the bigger one.
He found himself staring at him for long while, maybe too long though. He always thought it was just out of admiration towards the redhead. So he did now. Just admiring him. Or was there something else. He wouldn't know.
"Are you done or do you want to sweep away the floor too?" asked the other one mockingly as he looked at Nagisa. Sweeping the same spot over and over again, even though it was already clean. "O-of course I am done", he said flustered. He put away the broom in his hand to head to the door where Karma was waiting.
They left the room. Locking it from the outside. Leaving the building. In silence. Until they reached the playground. "I wonder" thought Nagisa speaking out loud. Karma turned his attention to him. "I could swear to have heard Koro-Sensei scream yesterday when we left." He looked up to Karma. "And he was today late. What happened?"
A devilish smile climbed up to the redhead's mouth. Nagisa could literally see his horns and a tail. Indeed Karma had done something. "A little welcome for my uninvited guest." Nagisa shivered. Karma's mansion wasn't just weird and creepy it gave the boy prefect opportunities for traps and all kinds of evil thoughts this mind of his could have. He didn't even bother asking further.
In that moment Karma came up with something. He took out his phone unlocking the screen. He stared at it with a smirk. When his small friend realized he became curious. "What are you looking at?" The troublemaker turned his screen to the shorter one. He sighed in annoyance. "Not that again" he replied. "Why? Is the little prince charming ashamed or what?"
He showed the picture of Nagisa kissing Kayano. Back then when she had those tentacles in her neck and almost died because of them. He just did what he thought would be best to distract her without harming her. "It's not what you think it is" he replied calmly ignoring his friend's mocking eyes. "Don't tell me you really used Bitch-Sensei's technique!" he laughed. "Well it did work though."
Karma stopped not only his laugh but also walking. Nagisa turned around wondering why he stopped. "But indeed you're one hell of an assassin." Nagisa couldn't help but blush slightly at this comment. Even though it shouldn't be really that good to be complimented for something like that. "Since when do you compliment others?"
The redhead shrugged. "But you know. I think I could take you down", said the taller boy with overwhelming self-confidence.
"Really?" Karma nodded. "Your last tricks were admirable. But I know them by now", he grinned arrogantly. "Wanna have a rematch?"
"Aren't you getting a bit cocky?" replied Nagisa. True though he had already used his tricks and hadn't got time to come up with new ones. He was sure that Karma was aware of that. This time their match could end different. Then again how could he refuse this challenge? But…
"Don't worry I won't change my decision to listen to you. Just wanted to have revenge. Nothing serious." Nagisa nodded, "but you sound pretty confident, I am sure I know how to win." Smiled the shorter one. Even though he had no idea. A bluff should help, but sadly Karma does know when he says the truth or not. Karma laughed. "Come on. Who do you think I am? Terasaka to fall for every stupid trick? And that even twice? You can't fool me!"
Somewhere else:
"hatchooo." Sneeze. Terasaka looked up from his desk. Turning his sight to the open window for no reason. "You should close the window, or you'll get a cold" warned Yoshida when hearing his sneeze. The said boy rubbed his arms. "I somehow have got the feeling someone's insulting me."
"So the first one to draw the rubber knife to the other's neck wins" explained Karma while playing with the said knife. Still thinking what he should do Nagisa nodded. How to get Karma? There should be an easy way? It's nearly impossible to get him twice with the same trick. Just distract his attention. Distract his attention, huh? That's it!
"Ready?" Karma asked getting in position. "Yes." The shorter one smiled. He had an idea and couldn't help but smile with the thought if it's really going to work, besides Karma somehow gave him the idea whe he looked back at his phone.
"Okay! Start" The redhead was ready to attack when Nagisa moved first. Just running straight to him. Seems like no real plan to me he thought.
Out of curiosity he let the blue head dangerously close to him. If it was the Nekodamashi Karma was certain to block it. Then all of a sudden the smaller teen extended his arms. Similar to the last trick he pulled out against him in their fight. Except the bloodlust in his eyes. And this time it was even somehow attractive. Focus!
He was definitely going to do the same.
What?! Nagisa wrapped his arms around his neck. Pulled him closer. Cut off the distance until. They met. He felt warmth. Warm lips. A pressure on his mouth. It took a few seconds for him to realize what happened. Enough time for the other to break his balance. He kicked one leg of Karma away and pushed him with his weight to the ground. Still lips locked together.
Karma seemed to be stunned when he realized his best friend just kissed him. He came back to his senses when Nagisa let go off his lips and hold his knife to the other's neck. Over. Nagisa won. Again. "Y-you…" stuttered the redhead. Trying his best to hide the deep blush on his face, but he failed. Nagisa smirked at this sight. Pretty unusual for him though. He couldn't help it. He was able to knock Karma to the ground and made him even blush.
Besides he just realized how cute Karma can look. Another unusual thing. (After that last incidence in Karma's house they both didn't dare to look at each other out of embarrassment, so he didn't know if Karma was as red as he himself was.)
He was happy. "So, I have won, Karma." However the other one started to get irritated. "I didn't expect you to make such a move on me!" He stood up. Overwhelmed with anger. Nagisa took a few steps back. "Darn it! I thought Kayano was special to you"
"I told you before. I just kissed her to help her. I can't think of her more than a friend!" He paused for a moment studying his friend's anger. "Besides an assassin should be prepared for anything at any time." Karma stumped hard on the ground. "B-but that? Isn't it embarrassing for you?" Nagisa was silent. He had no answer. Just stared at Karma as his blush deepens. "Kissing someone isn't something to make fun of just like that."
"But you use that picture of mine to mock me."
"So what?!" He glared at him. Gritting his teeth. Nagisa thought to surprise the redhead but he didn't expect him to snap like that. However Karma slipped his hands into his pockets going ahead. "Just leave me be ok." With this words he passed the smaller one not making eye contact. His face remained red. Once he let Nagisa behind Karma covered his mouth with his right arm. That idiot totally got me! He thought, and even stole my first one!
You will get this favor back Nagisa.
