(Karmas pov)

I walked Nagisa home, holding his hand, as his tears soon stopped.

You could clearly see he'd been crying by the stains on his cheeks.

"T-thank for walking me home..." He mumbled quietly.

"Are you gonna be alright?" I asked, letting go of his hand.

"Yeah...I just need to sleep..."

"Alright well...I'm sorry you had to see that..." My face flushed slightly as I lent down and kissed the bruise on his cheek.

He jumped in suprise, before looking away embarrassed.

"Well...uh...goodnight!" I said, quickly turning and running away. I can't belive I did that, I kissed his cheek! Better yet! I kissed his bruise! God he's gonna think I'm disgusting! God dammit Karma.

I got back to my house, slouching on my bed, letting out a sigh.

My face turned red just remembering it. What I'd he had turned his head?! Then I would've kissed his lips!!

I looked up at my ceiling, just thinking about what he had said.
'You'll always catch me!'
I let out a groan. "What does that even mean? Is he planning on jumping of something and expecting me to catch him?"
I sat up, and slipped my shoes back on. Guess I'll go make sure he's in bed safe and sound.

I snook to Nagisas window, it's about 11pm. I noticed that his light was still on, and he wasn't in bed.
My eyes traveled around the room and I thought he might be in the living room--until I heard a loud crash, that's when his bedroom door opened.

(Nagisas pov)

I tryed to quietly sneak into my house and into my room. But thanks to creaky floor boards, I failed.
"Nagisa-- where have you been dear?" My mother was sitting at the table, her eyes glowing a dangerous red.

"I uh...decided to hang out with someone after school..." I tryed to get past her, but it was no use.

"Oh really? Who was it dear?" She already knew, otherwise she wouldn't be like this...

"...K-karma..." I murmured quietly.

Suddenly she pushed me to the wall, and kicked me in my stomach.

I coughed, spitting up a bit of blood.
"Ack!"

"HOW DARE YOU! WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION THIS MORNING MY DEAR! LITTLE GIRLS LISTEN TO THEIR MOTHERS!! BECAUSE MOTHERS KNOW BEST!! NOW LET ME EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU!" She grabbed my hair, pulling the hair ties out. She then kicked me in the face, leaving blood marks.
"WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH AFFECTS WHO YOU BECOME! IF YOU HANG OUT WITH THAT PHYSCO, NO DOUBT YOU'LL BECOME ONE TOO!! LADY'S DO NOT STRIDE TO BE FRIENDS WITH SUCH ASS HATS AS AKABANE!! YOU THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED YOUR CHANGE IN ATTITUDE RECENTLY?! EVER SINCE YOU GOT SHIPPED OF TO THAT E CLASS, EVER SINCE YOU AND KARMA HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT MORE, YOUR BECOMING MORE AND MORE DEFIANT!! YOU THINK I ENJOY THIS?!" She slapped me. "YOU THINK I ENJOY HURTING MY PRECIOUS CHILD?! DOES MY PRECIOUS CHILD ENJOY HURTING ME?! " My body was shaking, everything was becoming blurred by tears.

She walked up to my bedroom door, dragging me along the floor, my blood leaving a thin trail.
"NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" She opened my door, throwing and locking me in.

My eyes fell dark, as I clenched my stomach in pain. My teeth gritted, as I wobbled over to my bed.
My tears were quickly falling, as I reached for my phone. My hands were so shakey,  I could barley type.

Nagisa: Hey

Karma😈😻: Hey...

Nagisa: Did you get home alright?

Karma😈😻: Yeah, you?

Nagisa: Yup! Just reporting my everyday goodnight!!😄

Karma😈😻: ...Hey Nagisa...Would you ever keep a secret from me?

I froze suddenly...I sighed before typing.

Nagisa: No, I would never dream of it!

Karma😈😻: ...Okay...well goodnight...

I sighed switching of my phone. A smile wobbled on my face, struggling to stay up.

I lay my head down on my pillow. It felt so uncomfortable, but it wasn't like I could move all that much. I didn't even change, I just slept like that, messily.

(Karmas pov)

I put my phone in my pocket, watching the blueberry wobble a fake smile.

My blood began boiling as I saw all the new injuries he had aquired from the front door to his room.

He's either really fucking clumsy...or his mother...

I got up, and began making my way home. I honestly didn't want to leave Nagisa in that place, but it's not like I could crawl into his window and steal him.

I just might have to get rid of his mother...

~Time skippe~

The next morning... Nagisa didn't ask if I wanted to walk to school, he walked with Nakamura instead. I know because I saw them walking.

I let out a growl as Okuda ran up to me.
"H-hey Karma! Good morning!" She smiled up at me a faint blush coming over her face.

So I walked with her. This is normal right? A boy and a girl? Yeah, you see that everywhere...so why can't I be like that? Why am I not happy even though she's clinging to my arm and saying such kind and cute things.

Maybe this is a new boring kind of love? No...I don't feel that way about Okuda...she's just easy to talk to.

"So uh karma...I uh..." I glanced down into her violet eyes. "I made to much food this morning...so I decided...since you don't usually bring food to school...d-do you want it?" She asked, blushing alot.

Normal huh? Can I give normal a try?

"Sounds delicious! Let's meet for lunch?"

"R - really?" She smiled happily.

I smiled back...

I prefer Nagisas smile...

All day, Nagisa didn't even look in my general direction. He had make up on again, covering his newly obtained injuries.

Lunch came around, and he was handing some papers to koro-sensei when Nakamura did...something.

"Hey Nagisa-- wanna have lunch together?"

Nagisa dropped his papers, as Nakamura stroked his ass.

My eyes locked, my blood boiled.

This was moving to fast...I know who's next...

I went to meet Okuda for lunch, still enraged about the nerve of Nakamura.

I sat down next to her as she handed me a bento. I smiled accepting, as we started eating.

"Wow Okuda! This is delicious!"

"R-really!? I'm glad you like it!!" Her face was slightly red.

Mine wasn't...its wasn't delicious either...It tasted like any other meal.

I spotted Nagisa sitting with the girls, a fake smile plastered in his face.

We made eye contact for about 5 seconds, before he quickly whipped his head away.

"Hey Karma..." Okuda put her bento box down and leaned toward me.

Our lips connected, suprising me.

I saw out of the corner of my eye, that everyone was starring and starting to come over.
I saw Nagisa was being dragged over, not really looking like he wanted to.

I didn't know what to do. If I push her away I'll have to explain myself! But if this continues, people will think we're dating! 

So I made the worse decision of my life. I kissed her back. This felt like a foreign concept, kissing a girl. I didn't like it.

I would consider Okuda a close friend, but I could never consider anything more.

Our lips parted as she looked into my eyes. She then sighed sitting back down.
"Sorry..." she blushed.

"It's...fine..." I tryed to smile, but it didn't work.

I then saw Nakamura and Nagisa talking, and it was obvious Nakamura was flirting.

I unconsciously stood up, and stomped over to them.

"Karma?" Nakamura asked.

I grabbed Nagisas wrist, and dragged him into the classroom. 

"What's wrong? Why have you been ignoring me all day?" I questioned, gently letting go of his wrist.

He walked over to his desk and started rummaging through his bag. He pulled out the blazer I had given him for cold days and handed it to me.

"S-sorry...We can't be friends anymore..."

My heart sunk. Why?! Was it because I kissed him on the cheek?! Does he think I'm gross?! Or is it...
"Nagisa...why?" I questioned.

I saw tears form in his pearl eyes.
"M-mother said no..." He mumbled, falling into my chest.

My heart was aching so bad. It felt as if it was chipping away, or someone was about to rip it out.

"Nagisa..." His tears washed of the make up,  revealing a few new cuts on his face.

(Nagisas pov)

How pathetic. I'm so pathetic...I'm not even in control of my own life...
All theese chains, slowly yanking me away from the person I deeply care about. It's physcological torture.

"I...I just wish...She would...go...away" I shook, my hands tightly clenching onto Karmas shirt.

"Who? " Karma whispered, hugging me.

"My...mother... I wish she would..."

He lent down and whispered even quieter.
"Die?"

I flinched at the word but all my head did was nod. This was a new type of feeling. I felt like I was still being Controlled, but maybe by vines slowly wrapping around My heart, pulling on it.

An intoxicating feeling.

I began leaning forward as an attempt to kiss Karma...but it was interupted by Okuda.

"K-karma?!" She jumped at our faces close proximity. "W-what is this..?" She question, her face a little red.

"O-okuda,  this is nothing we were just talking." Karma let me go, and tryed to apologize to her.

She smiled in understanding and left us alone once again. Not that the moment could've recovered. There's no way we would go back to that position purposely.

Karma handed me his blazer back and smile.
"If you ever need somewhere to stay to get away from HER nagisa, your always welcome at my place." And with that he left the classroom. My face turned red, as I buried it in the blazer. I took a sniff, before backing into my seat.

I lay my head down, the blazer still over it, soon falling asleep, thanks to the comforting smell.

Karma...I think I have feelings for you...
