Karma pov
"You Idiot!" Nagisa yelled at me with tears in his eyes.
He was on his knees after seeing the state I was in
"....."
I could only look down in guilt....I hated seeing Nagisa in pain.

I had gotten into another fight, and although I won, I still took damage.
My head was bleeding intensely, my right arm was most likely broken and my body was covered in bruises.
"Why are you always fighting!?"
"....I'm sorry" I spoke softly and kneeled down infront of him, gently wiping away his tears away with my left hand
"Dont cry"
He only looked at me with a glare
"We're going to the hospital" he said before getting up and leaving to get his bag from his room
I let out a long sigh
The hospital again...
How many times have I been there this month?

Timeskip
"Why am I not surprised" one of the nurses, Nezumi, spoke after she saw me
"....."
"....."
Both me and Nagisa remained silent
"Who started the fight this time?" She asked
"Why don't you focus on your job instead of asking pointless questions"
"...." she remained silent before walking to me and grabbing me by the ear and dragging me away
"Ow! ow! ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Stop complaining Akabane"
"This isn't how you should be treating your patients!"

Once she finished looking at my x-ray she sat down and started filling out some papers
"You're lucky it's just a sprained arm"
"Yay" I said sarcastically
"....."
"Can I go now?"
"No, you still need a cast"
"Hurry up then, Nagisa is waiting"
As she was wrapping my arm she spoke
"You care alot about Nagisa, don't you?"
"Of course I do! You already know he's my boyfriend"
"Then why do you always get into fights and worry him?"
"...." I only responded in silence knowing that she was right
"You've been to the hospital six times this month and every time Nagisa by your side! Worry on his face"
"...The only reason why I get into fights is because-"
"You're helping other people aren't you?" She interrupted
"..." I only nodded my head
"But there's someone who cares about you Karma. Stop picking fights with thugs just to help a stranger who won't even thank you. Nagisa worries for you, don't loose him" she said
"....."

Once everything was done we were both walking out of the hospital.
Nezumi's words kept replaying in my head
'I can't loose Nagisa. I don't want to....'
I stopped and grabbed his wrist with my left hand
He turned around
"Karma? What's wrong?"
"Why don't we go somewhere, we could-"
"We're going home, you need to rest, besides my shifts today" he interrupted and continued walking
"....."
.

We had gotten home and Nagisa quickly heated up some food from the fridge before giving it to me
"Get some rest" he said before walking out the door
"...."
I was left in the the empty hallway
"....."
Nagisa's changed....because of me he no longer smiles, he's constantly worrying about me.

After an hour of doing nothing I stood up and walked to the door, putting on my shoes and headed out to follow Nagisa.

After 10 minutes of walking I was infront of the café Nagisa works part time.

I sat down outside and took a peek inside through the giant glass window
"!!!!" My eyes widened at what I saw
Asano and Nagisa were behind the counter talking to each other, smiles on their faces
'When was the last time I saw Nagisa smile? It's been soo long'

As I was watching the two exchange laughs I stood up and began walking back to our apartment.

I can't loose Nagisa.

I have to change.

Nagisa pov
After my shift was over I said goodbye to Asano and began walking back to the apartments, thinking of all the homework I still had to finish.
However, my mind quickly thought about Karma
'What if he went out?!'
'What if he got into another fight!?'
'He's still injured!'
'I should hurry!'
I began pacing faster and before I knew it I had reached the apartment
"Karma!" I yelled and opened the door
"Nagisa!? What's wrong!?"
Karma was on the couch putting down his book
"*pant *pant *pant" my knees couldn't support me much longer and I collapsed on the floor
"Nagisa!?" Karma ran up to me
"Thank goodness! Thank goodness you're still here!" I said, gently placing my hands on his shoulders
"....." he only replied with silence before embracing me
"I'll always be here for you. Ill do anything for you. I'll be more careful, so...so stop worrying about me"
"Karma?"
"Get some rest" he smiled
Something was different about him, but I was too tired to give it more thought.
I shut my eyes and ended up falling asleep in his arms

The next morning I woke up to a delicious smell.
"???"
Was Karma cooking?
I got out of bed and headed to the kitchen where I saw Karma cooking eggs
"....."
Am I seeing things?
This can't be real
Karma never cooks

As I was in the middle of my thoughts Karma turned around, a smile on his face
"Good Morning Nagisa"
"....good morning" I responded
"Sit down. This time I made you breakfast" he smiled again
"...."
I did as was told and sat down infront of him
Something was definitely off about him.
.

.

.

We sat in silence eating our breakfast until I spoke out
"How's your arm?"
"It's been better"
"...."
"..."
Silence
"I should go" I said, excusing myself from the table
"I'll pick you up after cla-"
"No!" I interrupted
"???"
Terasaka is in my class, the last thing I want is the two of them fighting like they normally did.
"...Maybe when your completely healed"
"....ok"

1 month timeskip
A month has gone by and I was surprised at how much Karma has changed.
He no longer fights as much and rarely misses class.
I felt relieved that I didn't have to worry about him like I used to.

Karma pov
Nagisa had left to his morning class and I was left alone in the apartment because today was one of those days where I felt like ditching.

Now that I think about it Nagisa works at the café today.
I should go surprise him.

I stood up from the couch and grabbed my jacket before walking out.

Ever since Nagisa noticed the amount of times I fought deceased he began to trust me  more.
.

Once I got there I took a seat outside and looked inside the glass window, hoping I would see Nagisa.

When I finally caught sight of him I felt my lips curl up.
He's soo cute.

As I was waiting for Nagisa to finish I couldn't help but overhear the guys in the table infront of me
"Isn't that chick cute"
"She sure is"
I looked over at the direction they were looking at and I saw Nagisa
"!!"
"Let's grab her number"
"What if she says no"
"We'll force her to"
"How?"
"If she doesn't give us what we want we'll just have our way with her"
After hearing that last sentence I lost it.
I threw my table gaining there attention
"I dare you to say that one more time!"
"What the hell!?"
"What's your problem!?"
In anger I walked up to the group and punched the one who looked like the leader
"If you lay a single finger on him I'll kill you!" I threatened before turning my back to them.
When I turned around I noticed that there were many eyes on us.
I better leave, otherwise I might loose my temper.
The last thing I want is Nagisa to see me change back to the person I was trying to get rid off.

As I lifting the table I had thrown earlier the group of guys walked up to me.
"..."
"So you like that chick too, huh?"
"...."
'Just ignore them'

"Well we saw her first so back off. Otherwise we won't let you go so easy"
"...."
Seeing that they weren't going to get a response from me they grabbed my collar
"What? Not so tough are you?"
"......"
"Come on boss, let's get her number"
"Yeah, it'll probably be too easy. After all, she looks like a slut"
After hearing those words I snapped.
I placed my hand over his and forced him to let my shirt collar go, twisting his arm behind his back.
"ARGH!"
"Damn you!"
One of his "minions" started charging at me, but I easily dodged and let his arm go
"You'll pay for that!" He yelled lifting his other arm up ready to punch me
I blocked his punch and flipped him over, knocking him down to the ground, but I didn't stop there.
I picked him up and threw him towards the glass window, breaking it in the process
"!!!" My eyes widened when I realized what I had done
.

.

.

.

.

.
It was dead silent.

When I looked up I saw Nagisa from the inside looking at the guy I threw in along with the glass that was now inside.
"Karma....."
I walked in and stopped infront of him
"Nagisa I-"
"Who is responsible for this!?" An older women yelled interrupting me
"...."
"....."
"I did!" I spoke out
"You! You're Shiota's boyfriend aren't you!"
"I am truly deeply sorry for the trouble he caused! I'll take all responsibility! Just please don't call the police!" Nagisa bowed
"Nagisa what are you-"
"I'm very sorry! I'll pay for any damages!"
"....."
'I screwed up'
Because of me he's apologizing in front of all these people

"You better! You're fired after you clean this mess up and pay for all the damages done!"
This bitch!
I took a step forward but Nagisa stopped me
"Nagisa-"
"I'll take care of it, you go back home" he smiled softly
"Nagisa I-"
"Just go"
"....."
I looked down and walked out the café not wanting to bring anymore trouble for him.
It's all my fault.
I guess I can't change who I really am.

I had gotten to our apartment and waited for Nagisa to come back.

After a couple of hours I was getting restless.
Why isn't he coming back!?

Before I knew it, it was already morning but Nagisa still hadn't returned
"..."
That's it!
I stood up from the couch, but when I did I heard the door open
"Nagisa!"
I began running over to the door
"I'm soo sorry! I never meant for you to-" I froze when I saw him
"Nagisa...."
His hair was down and I saw that his cheek was a visible red
"I don't want to talk about it" he said before passing by me and walking to his room
"....."
It's my fault.
I can't change no matter what.
There's no hope for me...for us
I only bring his misery
*Knock *Knock
A knock interrupted my thoughts and I went to go check who it was.

When I opened the door I glared at the person standing infront of me
"What do you want Asano?"
"I heard what happened today and I wanted to see how Nagisa was doing"
"He wants to be alone"
"....you're blaming yourself, aren't you?" He asked looking up at the sky
"....."
"Good, cause it's your fault all this happened in the first place. No matter what you do you can't change the person you are. You are and will forever be the person causing Nagisa's unhappiness"
"...." I could only look down, knowing that he was right
"But I'm pretty sure Nagisa isn't blaming you...just like you he does things for a reason"
"What are you implying?"
"....the reason why Nagisa was always worried about you getting into fights was because he didn't want you getting kicked out of college or going to jail"
"He didn't need to worry, my parents-"
"You're parents were the ones who told him to keep you from getting into trouble" he interrupted
"!!??" My eyes widened from what he just told me
"My parents?"
"I don't know the whole story, but I overheard Nagisa talking to your dad making a deal"
"Deal?"
"Your dad told Nagisa that if he was able to keep you from getting into fights and not getting arrested for a year he would allow the two of you to stay together and he would no longer force you to inherit his company"
"!!!!"
'Nagisa was doing all this for me....'
"....I should go now, just thought I should let you know" he spoke before turning around and walking down the steps
.

After an hour I went to go check up on Nagisa.
I was standing infront of his door
"Nagisa I'm coming in"
"...."
Pushing the door opened I stepped in.
There I saw Nagisa, huddled in his blanket, his back faced toward me
"Nagisa, I'm sorry....because of me you got fired"
"...."
"For the past month I was trying to change who I was...."
From the corner of my eye I saw Nagisa move
"I was always causing you trouble and made you worry countless times"
"...."
"I felt that I needed to change so you wouldn't have to always worry about me....and because I didn't want to loose you"
"...that's not true" he spoke finally getting out from under his blanket
"....."
"I love you for who you are. You were the person I fell in love with. Even though you get into fights I know that you are capable of defending yourself"
"....."
"The only reason why I was-"
"I know" I cupped his cheek, stopping him form saying anything else
"Thank you for caring about me"
"I love you" he said, taking my hand off of his cheek and kissing it
"I love you more" I told him, getting closer and lightly kissing his lips
