Karma's POV
Two weeks has past since me and Nagisa were in each other's bodies. We're finally back to our true selves, and I am ready to ask Nagisa out. Yes, that day has finally come and I finally have the courage. Challenge accepted indeed Nagi, challenge accepted. "Afternoon Karma!" The short blueberry walks in after coming back from school. "Afternoon Nagisa."
"How was your day?" He embraces me. My cheeks flush. Dammit Nagi. "F-fine. Did more politics. How was your day?"
"Same as always. Interesting. Extended education is hard but rewarding."
"You're the only person I know who likes school." I remark.
"Everyone in my class does." He blinks.
"Well it makes sense becoming a teacher then." I hug him back. "Hey, um, Nagi?"
"Yeah Karma?" He looks up at me. Some people take time to fall in love with a person. I guess I wasn't one of them. As soon as I saw him across the crowded classroom, already chatting away to people like they were old friends, he looked over at me, gave me a big smile and the rest was history. That was it. I was hooked. Hooked on a little person that, at the time, I had no clue what they're gender was. I didn't care. I label myself as gay but maybe I'm pansexual. Or the only person I will ever love is Nagisa Shiota. So... that's why I've got to do this. I've got to confess to the boy I like that I know likes me back. Here goes...

"I like, no, I love-" The doorbell rings. Oh you've got to be freaking kidding me. You've got to be freaking kidding me. Un-frigging-believable. Un-absolutely-frigging-believable! "I'll get it." I huff and trudge to the door. Whoever it is, I am so shoving mustard and wasabi up their damn nose. After I punch them in the face that is. "Hey Karma!" My partner in crime smirks.
"Rio Nakamura!" A dark aura surrounds me. "I utterly hate you as of this minute!"
"Why? What have I done? Is it a bad time?" She frantically searches for any reason. "Bad time? Bad time?! No it would have been a splendid time if not for your intrusion! You say you want to help my love life but you have the worst timing in the world!"

Nagisa's POV
What going on out there? I can hear shouting and it's confusing the hell out of me. I slightly open the window, squeeze out and step onto the tree that just happens to be conveniently placed there. Shimming across, I hold onto the branch with both arms and swing upside down. Perfect. They won't suspect a thing...
It's times like this when I really do see myself as an assassin. I'm obtaining my objective through stealth, wielding my second blade. I feel bad eavesdropping but it's not like I have any choice in the matter. It's probably private. I know I shouldn't pry but it's impossible not to help it. I can hear them clearly. Nice. Thanks for shouting Karma because it means I can hear every single word. "Bad time? Bad time?! No it would have been a splendid time if not for your intrusion! You say you want to help my love life but you have the worst timing in the world!" He yells at her. Love life? What's he on about? "What do you mean Karma?"
"Oh maybe the fact that I was about to confess my love to the guy I like and you interrupted!"
"You were about to confess to Nagisa?" I almost fall off the branch. What... the... heck?! He calms down a bit, "Yes. I was. But now I've lost all my courage again. I can't go back and finish it." Karma likes me? That was going to be his confession?
"I like, no, I love-" Was he going to say 'you'? "Why can't you?"
"Every damn time I try, someone or something interrupts me. If my confidence wasn't the greatest for this thing already, it's now plummeted to zero." Karma... "Why are you here anyway, Rio? What do you want?" He sounds ticked off. I see him rub his eyes, they're slightly red. Karma was... crying?

He's really smitten with you.

-Really now.

What are you doing out here anyway Nagisa? Working?

-Not me, I'm eavesdropping.

Did you just reference...?

-Yes. Yes I did.
"Look Karma. I came here to invite the two of you to a party. It'll be fun, I promise."
He sighs, "Fine. But on one condition..."
He then leans over and whispers something in her ear. She grins from one corner of her face to the other, "Oh you know I'll agree to that!" They high five. Why do I suddenly get the feeling that I'm a target? "Ok then! I'll go ask him." Shoot. Gotta run. I swing back round and clamber back into the room I just recently exited. They have no idea that I was listening in. As I hear footsteps approaching, I quickly position myself exactly where I was when he left. Something's different though. This time I know things. This time I have a plan.

Tonight, I promise you Koro Sensei that I will confess my love to that red headed sadist. I will make it so flipping romantic that you won't be able to cope and you'll wish that you did blow up in the end. Because this will blow you away, octoperv, it will. I can guarantee that. And later in life, I will marry that man. If not then I don't deserve a life on this Earth, I really don't. So that, Koro Sensei, is my promise to you.

"Nagisa, hey." He approaches me.
"You gonna continue, Karma?" I glide up to him, gazing into those orbs. At first glance, they look cold, uninviting, dangerous. Seeing them after all these years, however, takes its toll on you. They suddenly become warm, compassionate, loving. I want him to look at me with those eyes, with love in them. It may sound selfish but I now know that he likes me, it makes a whole load of sense. My arms wrap around his waist. "Well?" I tilt my head to the side. He blinks, "Rio's inviting us to a party." Seriously? Come on Karma! "Is she? Ok. We'll get ready in a second." That's it Nagisa, dismiss it. Also, dismiss that slight wave of jealousy whenever he brings up Rio. It's not going to happen... right? Karma's hand catches me by surprise and cups my right cheek. Then the other cups my left. He pulls me close, our noses touching, hair mixing into one mass of red, blue and purple. The next part I kind of lose track of. Either he moves in, or I do... it happens all too quickly. We're kissing again. God, for people who aren't in a relationship with each other we sure do kiss a lot. It sure does feel right though, this is how we are meant to be. In a relationship. Godammit world. Stop controlling my life! The short, soft and chaste kiss abruptly ends. We break apart. He's blushing. Adorable. "So... um... Nagi? I'll continue. Like as I said before, I love-"
"Guys? You coming or not? If you don't arrive here in a couple of seconds, then I'm coming in."
"DAMMIT RIO!" We both shout. "YOU ARE LITERALLY SPAWN OF THE DEVIL!"
"I still don't get what I've done wrong!"

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Nagisa. Truth or dare?"
"Nakamura, I already told you. I'm not gonna play. Especially when it's with you and Karma."
"Hey! What's so wrong with me!"
"You're the Red Devil. Enough said." I retort. She and Karma still give me indignant looks. We're currently on the way to her and Kayano's apartment. I'm still annoyed at the damn blond. Interrupting Karma two times... seriously! "Truth or dare, Nagisa." She gives me a blood lust filled glare. Yikes. "T-Truth."
"Are you sure?" She gets closer and mumbles, "I'll make you confess you're undying love for Karma Akabane if you choose that." Oh that snake!
"Fine." I huff, "I choose dare."
"Yes!" Shouts Karma. "Great choice Nagi~" He grows imaginary devil horns and smirks. "This is going to be fun~" It feels like he's flirting with me. Please stop. Please. "Ok!" Pipes Nakamura. "You'll have to wear what I want when we get to mine."
"No no no no no no no. This was you're plan all along wasn't it?!"
"Could've been." She slightly sticks her tongue out at me. I turn around and try to run away but the demon pair grabs my arms and steers me in the direction they want to go. I was the target all along. I'm doomed!

Oh well.

Karma's POV
We have arrived at chez Rio Nakamura. Sorry Nagi but I had to make her agree to force you to crossdress. My phone vibrates. "Who is it?" Asks Nagisa. I look at the caller ID, Gakushu Asano. Hmm. "Just Asano. I wonder what he wants? We haven't spoken for a while."
"You have Gak- I mean, Asano's phone number?" He stares, dumbfounded. Probably thought we still hated each other. No, only sometimes. "Yup." I pick up.
"Hello Akabane."
"Asano. It's nice to hear from you after all this time." I smirk. Since when do I not?
"I was wondering how you've been."
"I'm good. You?"
"Great. Ren was just moving in with me."
"Wow. The two of you are moving fast. How far have you gotten?" The corner of my lip twitches. I wanna laugh so bad.
"W-what do you mean! Are you implying what I think you are?! Akabane you're disgusting!" I can clearly picture him blushing. Lol. "Yes I am."
"Then no! We haven't even kissed yet!"
"Tut tut. You've been dating for a while and you haven't kissed? Man up!"
"I can't man up. Reason: I'm gay."
"I know. But there's always a more masculine guy in a gay relationship and do you really see Ren as that guy?" I wiggle my eyebrows. "Yeah, no. You're right. I do need to man up and kiss him right on the lips." Karma: 1. Asano: 0. Ha.

"Nagisa. Get in here. You need to complete this dare!" Rio calls out.
He sighs, "Coming."
"Nag- I mean, Shiota's there?" What is going on? Why do they keep trying to call each other by their first names and then correcting themselves? Do they perhaps know the other more than I know about? "Yeah. He is."
"You confessed to him yet?" Yes, Gakushu Asano knows that I like him. Now that I think about it, he has the perfect blackmail material. "No."
"Dammit Akabane!"
"

I've tried! I keep getting interrupted!"
"Alright. Anyway Akabane, I gotta go. Keep trying to confess, ok? I really want us to double date. Just kiss the guy on the lips. That gets the message across perfectly."
"Bye." If only he knew. It's not that simple with me and Nagisa. We've kissed loads and look at us! We're both still single and not an item! Kissing him on the lips would just make things more complicated. I mean, how many times have we already done so?

"Hey Karma~" Rio's voice floats into the room as I pocket my mobile. "Meet your date to this party!" And... she shoves out Nagisa. My eyes work their way up from his shoes. They're pretty and look like girls party shoes. She did it. Rio Nakamura has probably pulled off the most incredible crossdressing ever! My eyes scourer further up. Tights and the hem of a dress. A red dress. As I reach the top, all the blood in my entire body relocates to my face. Oh sweet Lord. He's stunning. A side braid of blue hair, slight touch of make-up, the most innocent, purest look imaginable. "Hello beautiful~" I tease but I'm actually dead serious. My insides feel like jelly, butterflies work their way into my stomach and I'm pretty sure my heart just literally skipped a beat. "Please don't tease me. I feel ridiculous." He mutters, fingers clutching the dress hem and pulling it downwards; probably slightly self conscious that it's too short. It's not. "You don't look ridiculous though. You look amazing, in fact, amazing is an understatement in this situation. Any guy would be lucky to have you... and so would I." Was Asano right this whole time? Could the perfect confession happen right now? Nagisa's face has just flushed a deep scarlet. "So would you, Nagisa Shiota, be my date to this dance and possibly many more?" Damn self! That's not a confession! It may seem like one a bit but it's not! Just tell him you like him! "O-ok. I'm up for that."

"Cool." I glance downwards and twiddle my thumbs. "I mean, it's not like you're asking me out or anything. Just to hang out together at a party." Ouch. That hurt.
"Well maybe I am." I gaze into his eyes, "You're a great best friend Nagisa, but you would be an even better boyfriend."
"Wait... what are you?" He goes a darker shade when I take his hands in mine. "Will you go out with me?" Rio looks like she's about to spontaneously combust. Also, she's trying to keep really quiet; bet she feels guilty. Nagisa blinks, "Karma, if this is a joke I swear to God that I will assassinate you right here, right now."
"It's no joke. I can't keep quiet any longer. Who knows what guy will snatch you up before I try to get you?"
"You're serious... oh wow. Oh wow. This is happening. I'm not dreaming, right?" I pinch his arm, "Ow! What was that for?!"
"You're not dreaming. I'm literally asking you out now just give me a goddamn answer." Rio coughs slipping the word 'smooth' in there. "Oh just shut it, Rio." I glance back at the bluenette. "Well?"

"Yes. My answer is yes."

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
That's the end of this chapter. I wasn't planning on the confession but one thing led to another and here we are. This isn't the end of their suffering though, sorry.

Now for the Karmagisa picture of the day:

Awwwwwww. Adorable.
Hope you're having a good day, hope you enjoyed, I'll see you in the next one!

Bye!
