||Chapter 26!!||
||Y/n's P.o.v||
After the play, I quickly left without saying goodbye to my classmates, specifically Nagisa. I thought that now that the whole accidental kiss was kind of cleared up I'd be able to act like things were normal, but my brain wasn't having that...I couldn't stand to be around Nagisa without thinking about how I accidentally kissed him!! Anytime I think about it, I get super flustered and run away from him...I knew that running away from him and avoiding all physical contact from him was severely hurting my chances with him, so the next day I figured it'd be best to actually talk about the kiss with him and apologize properly for invading his space and ruining our first of---hopefully---many other kisses.
When I walked into class the next day, Nagisa, along with some of my other classmates were standing around Sugino who had his head on his desk.
"Yesterday's drama festival was fun, wasn't it?" I heard Nagisa ask.
Quietly, I crept over to my desk and set my bag onto my chair. I then slowly made my way over to Sugino's desk to interact with my other classmates.
"Sugino gave a really enthusiastic performance, huh?" Karma added.
I stood beside Karma, and felt him put something in the palm of my hand. It was breakfast!! I tried not to look too excited as I opened up the food he had brought me per my early morning request. On days like this, it was nice to have a friend like Karma because when I asked him for food, he always delivered!!
"I didn't know he could make such an evil face." Hazama teased him.
"I tried too hard thinking about co-staring with Kanzaki. She probably hates me after seeing my face like that, though." Sugino complained right before he put his face back in the desk.
I looked at him, then at Kanzaki who was only a few inches away from Sugino. I tossed more food into my mouth before saying,
"Sugino...Kanzaki is right next to you..."
"Yea." She said, "And it's not true, Sugino. I thought it was really cool that you could act."
Instantly Sugino's head sprung up from the table and he looked at her. He head a look of determination on his face, "Seriously? Maybe I'll quit baseball and become an actor!!" Sugino told her quickly. I couldn't help but chuckle at how much of a simp he was...But then again, if Nagisa told me I was good at something I'd change my career path for him too. Speaking of Nagisa, because I was thinking of him my eyes couldn't help but accidentally glance at him. We were standing across from each other so it was inevitable for me to slip up.
When I looked at him, he almost instantly looked at me and gave me a smile and wave. Instead of waving back like I usually would, I turned my head away and focused back on Sugino. My face was hot and I instantly regretted my decision, but the damage was already done. Looking back at him now would only allow for me to see the disappointment that was most likely on his face. I couldn't bare to see that look.
"Pitchers need to be able to act, too. I'm happy to see my students show unexpected talents." Koro Sensei said.
I turned my head towards him, and in the corner of my eye I saw Kayano coming in through the doorway. This prompted me to subconsciously look at Nagisa and he was looking at her too. I couldn't help but feel jealous and wonder why he didn't turn away after he first saw her...
There was still a while before class started when I saw Kayano approach Nagisa. They began talking, then they left the classroom. My heart skipped a beat and I assumed the worst. I figured that because I was so cold to Nagisa these past couple weeks, he had finally moved on and went to Kayano and they were probably doing God knows what who knows where!! I wanted to cry, and so I did. I sat at my desk, buried my face in my arms and cried. This cry was unlike any of the others that I had done. This was actually sad and I wanted to keep it hidden, so I cried quietly and tried to keep my heaving to a minimum. Of course, since I was crying the classroom, it was only a matter of time I was interrupted by an annoying redhead that I've grown to hate not as much. I felt him poke me in the arm,
"Hey, Y/n...What are you doing?" He asked.
I sniffed and swatted his hand away without revealing my face. "Leave me alone!!" I hissed. He hummed in confusion before then asked,
"What? Are you upset because you saw Nagisa and Kayano sneak off to the shed outside the classroom?" He asked.
Instantly I sprung back out, "They went to the shed??" I asked. Karma's eyes widened a bit in surprise,
"You didn't know?" He asked.
My lip quivered and my eyes started watering again. Quickly, I slapped my hands on my eyes and started crying again. Why would they go to the shed if they weren't doing something completely inappropriate!! I quickly turned away from Karma, not wanting him to see me in such a lame crying state. I felt my nose running, so I quickly sniffed to suck it all back in.
"N/n-chan...Are you seriously crying over a boy, and Nagisa at that??" Karma asked.
I sniffed again,
"Leave me alone!!" I hissed.
Karma wasn't taking and hints, and I felt him grab my arm. I was about to snap at him but then he yanked me out of me seat.
"Come on, dumbass..." He told he while he was pulling me along.
I didn't bother to uncover my eyes as he pulled me around the classroom, "Wh-where are we going??" I asked.
"Outside..." He replied.
"Bu-but what about Koro Sensei, and class!!"
"Koro Sensei went to look for Kayano and Nagisa, so we're skipping."
I cried and told him I didn't wan to, but Karma didn't listen o me and instead kept pulling me down the school's hall. When Karma stopped pulling me I continued to cry. Everything about this situation was totally lame, but I couldn't help it. "Stay right here..." He told me. I then heard him walk off. I listened to him and leaned against the wall and slid on the floor. Even though he said we were going outside, I don't think we actually did, seeing as how the trip was short and when I sat down there was no grass. At the time though, I was too flustered with grief to care.
When Karma came back, he sat beside me and put something soft in my hand. "Here..." He said. I sniffed and slowly uncovered my eyes to see what it was. He had gotten me tissues. They were probably from the boy's bathroom, but I was still greatly appreciative of it.
"Thanks..." I told him before I blew my nose.
"Mhm.." Karma hummed, he sounded bored.
He then put his head on my shoulder. I jumped a bit, but let him stay there seeing as how I was sad and touched starved. That, and there was no one else to witness this. All Karma had done was brought me to one of the unoccupied classrooms . "Why do you always get so worked up over Nagisa when you don't even know if he likes you back..." He asked.
"But...he does like me back..." I told him.
I told him that, but a part of me didn't believe it. I was just telling myself what I wanted to hear...I blew my nose again, and let out a sigh of defeat, "At least...I thought he did..." I finally admitted.
"Just as I thought... You're in denial..." Karma sighed out.
"Denial? What do you mean?"
"Has even said he likes you back yet? Or claimed to be your boyfriend??"
I thought about dinner with his mom before I answered, "Yes...Kind of...It's complicated..." I explained. I glanced down at Karma who gave me a confused look. I felt my face heat up and I quickly looked away,
"What do you mean?" He asked me.
My face heated up more as I recalled what had transpired between me and Nagisa which felt like an eternity ago...Still, it would probably be good to hear an opinion from a friend,
"I don' know..." I sighed out, "Everything is so confusing because of the dinner..."
"With Nagisa's mom? Did she not like you or something?"
I almost shrugged in response before I remembered that Karma was using my shoulder as a head rest. This made me sigh again and I wiped my nose with a new tissue before I explained myself. "I don't know...I don't think she didn't like me..." I told him. A smile formed on my face now that I was rethinking about what he had said, "Nagisa said that his mom liked me...He even tried to call me his girlfriend..."
"'Tried'?" Karma commented.
"She asked if we were dating...He said yes, and I said no...Then he said no and I said yes. He told her we were...still figuring things out...When I was leaving, I asked him if he liked me, but then we kissed before—"
Karma quickly got off of me, "You kissed Nagisa?!" He asked me in a surprised manor. I blushed and was quick to defend myself,
"It's not like that!!" I told him, "It was accidental!! He turned his head while I was leaning in and our lips touched!! I've been trying to avoid him ever since!!"
"You have?"
"Yea...I've been too embarrassed to apologize or even bring it up, so anytime he asks to hang out or when he wants to talk, I always turn him down...Now I think he's moved on to Kayano..." I explained.
Pointing all this out, made me extremely upset, so I buried my face back in m y hands. "Hey..." Karma said as he pulled my hands away from his face.
"Karma—"
He let go of one of my hands to caress my face and wipe the few tears that were on my face. "You shouldn't cry over Nagisa..." He told me. I felt my face heat up from his touch, Karma had never been this nice to me before. I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. I hadn't noticed it until now, but he had really nice eyes. It was like looking to pools of strawberry lemonade, something I wouldn't mind taking a dive in.
I grabbed his hand, the one that was on my face. I meant to pull his hand off me, but instead, all I did was hold it in place. His eyes widened slightly as if he wasn't expecting me to do so, but he quickly wen back to his look of confidence. Another thing that I realized about Karma was that he really wasn't as bad as I made him out to be...These past few months—with a few exceptions—he's been pretty nice to me. He's been there for me more than anyone else in my class, even Nagisa. It was almost as if...
I hadn't realized it, but Karma's face was extremely close to mine and it hadn't been before. 'Where is this going?' I was quick to think.
"Karma—" I tried to tell him.
"Just stop talking..."
That's when it happened. Karma Akabane kissed me. He kissed me in one of the empty 3-E classrooms...and I let him...
