It was beautiful ;-;

Third Point View

Nagisa walked down the road. Heat was practically rushing at her face. And if there was one thing that made it worse, it was the hot wind.

She reached for her pocket and fished out her phone. "I wanna see Karma."

Opening Karma's chat, she told him that she was coming over to his house. To her surprise, he told her he was already out, buying snacks from the convenience store near his house.

After giving him a short reply, Nagisa sighed. "I hope he doesn't get sick eating all those snacks..."

But who is she kidding? She's probably also gonna join him later on anyway, right?

As she made her way to the convinience store, she spotted the red head from afar, going out. She quickened her pace.

"Yo, Nagisa," he greeted her with a smile. They started walking together. "Sorry you had to walk. Must've been tiring, with all this heat."

"It's fine," Nagisa replied. She looked at the plastic he was holding. "Did you buy ghost pepper again?" She asked suspiciusly as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Karma smiled, "Uwah, busted already..."

"Karma, please. You know how hot those things are!"

"Yea, I know! Isn't it great? Even more reason to use it against people, right?" He chirped happily.

"Honestly..."

Karma glanced at the shorter girl. "Good, it doesn't seem she notices that the reason I wasn't home was because we were spying on her and Yamaguchi..." He sweat dropped.

Thinking back, he was now urging to hold back a smile.

Later

"We're here!" Nagisa ran inside like a child, feeling relieved for the AC.

Karma chuckled at her and gave her head a pat. "Sit down, I'll make you something."

"Really!?"

Nagisa smiled widely. "I don't care what other people say, but he can cook!"

Instead of sitting down like she was told, she followed suit towards the kitchen.

She could only dream of having a kitchen as big as Karma's. There were multiple fridges, and there were tons of spices, probably from Karma's collection. She was blessed with the permission to grab anything from the kitchen, because what she craves for, they probably have it.

"I found this cool recipe yesterday on carbonara," Karma explains, bringing out the ingredients from the fridge.

"Does it have sausages?"

"Well, if you want it to."

Nagisa sat down on one of the stools as she watched her boyfriend go around the kitchen. "Well, I guess it's fine to tell him now..."

"Say, Karma..." She trailed off.

"Hmm?" He was mixing things into a bowl near the stove, his back turned on her.

"So, I went out with Yamaguchi-kun today," she started.

Karma flinched, but didn't think she noticed. Instead, he gave her the usual tone. "Is that so?" He said as he turned the heat on the stove to boil water.

Nagisa nodded. "...Yeah. He told me why he liked me, and asked me out."

"What happened after that?"

Nagisa looked up. "Well, I rejected him, of course," She says. "Then after we parted, I felt the need to come over, so here I am."

Karma turned to look at her. She decided to tell him right away. The thought alone made him feel somewhat touched. Despite that, he says, "You could've told me tomorrow or something, it's fine." He put the pasta in the water.

"But!" Nagisa clutched the stool between her legs. "I really didn't want to hide it from you. It wouldn't feel right to just wait for the right moment... I think I would've thought about it all day at home until I met up with you." She fidgeted her hands, feeling a blush spread across her cheeks. "O-oh, and, I promise nothing happened between me and Yamaguchi-kun! So don't go hunting for him, okay? We just talked, and then walked together..."

Karma's lips curved into a smile as he gave her a chuckle. He went closer to her. "Is that so?" He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"...You're not mad?" Nagisa questions.

"No," he pulled her closer, resting his forehead on hers. "I'm happy, Nagisa... Thank you."

Nagisa looked at his closed eyes for a moment before giving him a big smile.

Honestly, what did he do to deserve such an angel? All he remembered is that he was always a boy who just couldn't fit in, a boy who got into fights... Always in the dark. But Nagisa noticed him and forcefully pulled him out, joining her and the others in the brighter side.

He felt something soft against his lips. He opened her eyes to see that Nagisa was closing hers, kissing him as she put her hands on his cheeks.

"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you?" She gave him a cheeky smile when they parted.

Such an innocent kiss, Karma thought. He quite likes it whenever Nagisa initiates.

"Aw, did I influence you too much?" Karma snickered.

It made him feel a bit guilty that he's hiding the fact that they spied on them. "Hey, Nagisa."

"Yes?"

"The truth is..." Karma smiled. "Me, Tanaka-chan, Shiraishi-chan, and Sasahara were all spying on you earlier." It would feel like he would be betraying her kindness if he didn't tell her.

"Huh!?" Nagisa moved backwards.

"I'm surprised you didn't notice~"

The bluenette sighed. "No wonder I felt someone watching us... It turns out it wasn't just one person." She poked Karma's cheek and narrowed her eyes. "And here I was, somewhat proud of you because you took it so well..."

Karma tilted his head. "Aw, forgive me?"

Nagisa looked at Karma who had an apologetic smile. "Alright, alright." She forgave him.

To be fair, Nagisa was also glad Karma was being honest. It was better than having him keep it by himself. She didn't regret coming to his house right after her talk with Yamaguchi.

She may have kept secrets from him before, but that can change, right? Nagisa doesn't want to hide things from him. It just felt... right.

Her train of thought was interrupted by Karma suddenly lifting her off the stool and spun her around. "W-wha..."

He hugged her tight, then landed her on top of the counter. All with a smug smile on his face. "You're so cute, Nagisa..." He cupped her cheeks with his hands and leaned closer. "I want to be the only person you show those expressions to..."

The blue haired girl's eyes widened. Her cheeks became a dark shade of red, and she avoided his gaze out of emarrassment. "I... I also don't want Karma to show these expressions to anyone else... I want to be the closest person to you..." Her blue eyes went back to his mercury ones. "...Is that selfish of me?"

Karma's heart fluttered at her statement. He closed his eyes. "If that's the case, then let me be selfish, too."

Oh, how his words made her happy.

He gave her another kiss. It was a chaste one, one that was meant to express love, fondness. It wasn't anything passionate.

Feeling Nagisa's lips against his just felt so right. Karma feels like his only purpose in being born was just to keep Nagisa in his arms... Sweet, innocent little Nagisa.

It was only once they parted Karma saw how red Nagisa's cheeks were. Her cute expression made him want to hug her all over again.

At that moment, they saw a figure walking towards the kitchen. "Oh my, am I interrupting something?" Mitsuru's eyes widened as she touched her mouth with the tip of her painted nails.

"Yes, very," Karma looked at her as he still held Nagisa.

The bluenette retrieved her hands back from Karma's shoulders and looked into Mitsuru's eyes. "M-Mitsuru-san, you're home!? I'm sorry for barging in so suddenly..." She says, moving a bit from Karma, much to his dismay.

"It's fine, Nagisa-chan!" The maroon haired woman smiled. "I thought I smelled pasta from upstairs, so I came to check in. But you two were having such a wonderful time, I regretted not bringing my phone..."

"I-is that so?" Nagisa stuttered, sweat dropping.

Mitsuru came closer. "Karma, how long has the pasta been in there?" She looked at the stove.

Karma looked at the clock. "I dunno. Long enough?"

"Here, let me help you..." Mitsuru grabbed a strainer from a cupboard.

Nagisa smiled at the sight. She always liked seeing Karma spend time with his parents.

"By the way, Karma," Mitsuru said while checking the consistency of the sauce and the noodles on the stove. "Your father has been itching all over recently, especially after last night. Do you happen to be responsible?"

Karma gave her a smile. "Hm... Who knows? But I guess I did found some itching powder the other day..." He stuck his tongue out.

"Karma!" Both Nagisa and Mitsuru said in unison.

"Your prank wars are fine and all, but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed," Mitsuru told him sternly. "Also, please don't bring Nagisa-chan into this. She's already troubled enough being your girlfriend."

"Karma, you know better than to play pranks against your own father!" Nagisa also told him.

"Right, Nagisa-chan?" Mitsuru turned to her. The two started conversing on why he shouldn't have prank wars against his dad. But really, he saw it as harmless fun between father and son.

"I suddenly have two moms now..."
