(A/N) So apparently it ended up like 3000 words-ish and so yeah, enjoy. Also sorry if the formatting is weird and you can't comment or something. I'm (Starling) out in the mountains so I don't have wifi so I had to write the chapter on a notepad my computer has. So the formatting may be off. I'll fix it once I'm back home.

Hope you enjoy!

---------------------

Progress was slow, but there was in fact progress. Iyuka began to feel more confident in her safety, and soon stopped asking to check the locks every time.

At the moment, Karma had taken Iyuka to the park to meet up with Manarou while Nagisa did a quick job. It wasn't about the money, Karma made more than enough of that. It was more to do with bloodlust. Nagisa hadn't been losing any bloodlust over the years, and he preferred to let it out periodically rather than bottling it up and allowing it to explode every now and then.

Iyuka had a massive little smile on her chubby adorable face as she and Karma neared the park.

"Mana-nii!" She called out, detatching herself from Karma to run over and give her dark-skinned friend a hug. Manarou's eyes lit up as the small form which was Iyuka tumbled into him.

"Iyu-chan!"

The two laughed as they hugged happily before removing themselves from one another. "Wanna play tag?" Manarou offered. Iyuka smirked before putting her hand on Manarou's shoulder and declaring "you're it" and running off into the park.

Manarou giggled as he ran after Iyuka, who had darted under the playground, using her smaller size to her advantage, slipping through tunnels and through bars with ease. Manarou chased after her intently before deciding to run to the left while she went right. He managed to bump into Iyuka where his path met hers, and he playfully booped her nose before running off once more.

Isogai Yuuma and Akabane Karma watched their children play with fond smiles on their faces.

"Iyuka-chan is getting along well with Mana-chan." Yuuma smiled. Karma nodded.

"Thank you for coming out here so often. I know you and Hiroto-kun are a bit busier these days."

Yuuma waved his hand in a "it doesn't matter" gesture. "After what Iyuka-chan went through, both Hiro and I want to help her as much has we can. And if letting her meet up with Mana-chan is the way to do that, by all means. We can make time."

Karma smiled. "Thank you Yuuma-kun."

Yuuma returned the smile. "So, how's Nagisa-kun? Still in the same business as E Class?" He asked, disguising his words.

"Yeah, he's on a job right now. Nothing big, just something to get some action. With Iyu-chan in the house he's been taking a job every month or so to get out so he never scares her."

Yuuma nodded. "I see. Does she know about his other side?"

"Mhm. We told her a few nights into her living with us. It wasn't practical to keep it from her. She's a smart girl though, she won't tell anyone. She also knows Nagisa's job too. After Takaoka and all it was best to just explain."

"I see... Takaoka-sensei was a horrid person, wasn't he. Going so far just for revenege, when all Nagisa-kun did was protect us. I'm glad Nagisa-kun won back in E Class though... I still remember the bruise Takaoka-sensei left on Hiroto back then. Though I do wish he hadn't gone so far..."

"Don't we all. He was sick. Seems that makes four people in Nagisa's life that were. I just wish he could finally be done with people having ill-will towards him, but I doubt fate is so kind."

Yuuma shrugged. "You two will manage. You're the 3E power couple after all."

Both men laughed at that notion before turning to watch their kids some more.

"You two have been really busy taking care of her, haven't you." Yuuma stated after a moment of silence. Karma nodded.

"She's only recently becoming open to the idea of not being with us. We think she'll go back to school in a few weeks."

"That's good. Mana-chan has been mentioning he misses her as a classmate."

Karma smiled.

"If she's more open to being without you, why don't you and Nagisa-kun have a date night? You two sure could use a night out." Yuuma noted.

Karma shrugged. "That would certainly be nice. Though I'm not sure. We'd need to find a babysitter."

"I'd offer, but I think both Hiroto and I wouldn't be able to watch her for more than an hour or two."

"It's fine. I'm sure Nagisa can think of someone."

"That's good. Hey, I should get to work. It was nice to see you though Karma-kun."

Karma smiled. "Nice to see you too. Iyu-chan! Come on honey, we gotta go home. Mana-chan's Daddy has to go back to work."

Iyuka nodded before saying good bye to Manarou and returning to her father's side.

--Time Skip--

Nagisa sighed as he flopped onto the couch next to Karma, curling into his husband after an annoying job. It wasn't particularly hard, more tedious over anything. His target was quite paranoid and had lots of security, but none of it was especially good. There was just a lot of bad security. Meaning Nagisa had to deal with the same issues five times instead of one harder issue. That wasn't fun for him, but he did the job and got the cash. More importantly he got some bloodlust out. Right now all he wanted to do was cuddle with Karma.

"Hey Nagi?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think we could find a babysitter for Iyu-chan and have a date night?"

Nagisa turned to look up at Karma hazily before cuddling deeper into Karma's chest.

"Maybe. I could ask Sakura-chan if she could watch her. She's at that age where she could use some cash and babysitting is about the right level for her."

A small smile bloomed on Karma's face as he began to softly run his fingertips over Nagisa's scales.

"That might work. Why don't you call her tomorrow and see if she's available."

Nagisa nodded softly as he enjoyed Karma's warmth and soft touches.

Soon enough, he fell asleep on Karma's side. Karma smiled as he lifted Nagisa up and put him in bed, cuddling with him as the redhead pulled the covers over the two of them.

--The Next Night--

Nagisa smiled as he heard a knock on the door. He walked over to open the door to see the pink-haired teen he had called earlier.

"Nagisa-sensei." Sakura smiled happily.

"Hello Sakura-chan. It's been far too long." Nagisa replied as he gave Sakura a quick hug.

"Well I'd like to see you more. High school is really tough. Especially Kunugigaoka."

Nagisa smiled as he remembered how she had applied for the tough school he had attended for both junior high and highschool.

"Yes, it sure is. But you did know what you were signing up for when you applied."

"Yeah I know, I know. But still, the can't give us a little break every now and then?"

Nagisa merely laughed as he heard some shuffling behind him to see Iyuka and Karma had come down the stairs.

"Ah, Iyu-chan, this is Sakura. She was Papa's student back when Papa was 15. She's going to be watching you while Papa and Daddy go out for the evening."

"Hello Iyuka-chan. Your Papa told me a lot about you. I hope we get along." Sakura greeted.

Iyuka gave a shy smile before nodding. "Uh-huh."

Karma gave Iyuka a kiss on the head before grabbing his jacket and swinging an arm around Nagisa's waist.

"Okay Iyu-chan, Sakura-chan, we're off. We'll be home by midnight. Any extra information you should need is on a paper on the table, and Iyu-chan knows all the house rules. You have both of our numbers if anything goes wrong. Bye honey." Karma smiled as he and Nagisa gave their last goodbyes before walking out the door.

Nagisa smiled as he and Karma got into the car.

"So, where are we off to?"

"I reserved a table for us at the new French resteraunt downtown. I've heard it's really good and the owners and chefs are all French in origin."

Nagisa smiled, he enjoyed French food, though most of it he bought in Japan wasn't quite as good as the stuff made in the actual France, but it was much better than the attempts at French food other counties had.

"That sounds wonderful Karma. Thank you."

"Anything for you darling. We really needed this night out."

"You can say that again."

Karma gave Nagisa a quick peck on the cheek before turning his focus back to the road while Nagisa fiddled with the radio, looking to see if anything good was on.

Eventually, the two pulled up at a fancier-looking resteraunt before parking and getting out.

Karma and Nagisa walked up to the main desk.

"I have a reservation for two, under the name Akabane." Karma stated. The lady at the desk looked at her tablet to check the information before smiling.

"Right this way."

The couple was lead to a nice table by the window, where glasses of water and plates with menus were already set up. Karma looked over the drink menu before selecting a sake and ordering it for the table.

"Oh, we're getting sake? It's been a while since I've had any... I think the last time I had alcohol was in Italy where I had to go into a party to get my target."

Karma shook his head fondly, not responding verbally as he looked over the menu for what he wanted to eat.

Later on the server returned and Karma and Nagisa both ordered. They waited a while before the food arrived.

Both of them agreeed the food was pretty good, even with their high standards. Afterwards they ordered a creme brulee for desert to share before going back to the car.

Nagisa had been expecting them to return home, but another check on the clock said there were still three hours until midnight, when they planned to return home. When Karma turned on a road leading away from their house, Nagisa had a feeling something was up.

Karma pulled up to a hotel, parking the car before getting out and opening Nagisa's door for him.

"A hotel? Is this the kind I think it is~?" Nagisa purred.

"What other kind would it be?" Karma teased as he used the automated room reserver in the front room before grabbing the key desepensed from the machine and leading Nagisa upstairs, hand in hand. Karma opened the door to their room before entering and locking it behind them. The television was on, and showed a menu screen of two sections. One section was set to turn the tv into television mode, where they could watch movies or shows, and the other would pull up a screen for the visitors to order extra things from the hotel. Karma picked up the remote and pulled up the menu.

---SMUT SMUT SMUT---

The menu showed a list for the visitor to specify what types of items they were looking for. Karma sat on the bed and beckoned Nagisa to his side as he opened up the "sex items" part of the menu. Karma clicked on the bottle of lube to add it to his cart before returning to the main section.

"Want to get anything?" Karma asked. Nagisa snuggled into Karma's side and Karma wrapped an arm over Nagisa.

"Maybe. Who's topping?"

"Up to you. You've been dealing with more than I have. If you want me to take care of you I'd be more than willing, but I'd understand if you want to take control."

Nagisa shrugged. "Being pampered sounds nice, but at the same time I would love to finally have some control over a situation for once. What would you prefer Karma?"

"I'm open to either, but I won't say that I'm not in quite the submissive mood today. I'm a bit tired myself after the long workday so letting you do all the hard work is quite appealing."

"Then I guess I'll top. Want to go over the top BDSM or just light?"

"Something light. We only have a few hours after all."

Nagisa nodded. "Then just handcuffs or some sort of restraining thing, a blindfold, and gag. You pick what ones you want. Same safeword as normal?"

Karma kissed Nagisa's temple and nodded to answer the question as he flipped through the options on the screen, selecting a padded set of handcuffs, a basic black blindfold, a ball gag, and some cleaning wipes from a different section before checking out.

A few minutes later, which the pair filled with heated kisses, a small ding alerted them to their ordered items' arrival.

Nagisa smirked as his eyes began to light up with bloodlust. His last target was too easy, leaving him with plenty of pent-up bloodlust to spare for his lovely husband.

The materials were clearly made for people who had more money than they knew what to do with. Nagisa unlocked the cuffs and smirked as he pinned Karma down.

Karma's face showed a slight uncertainty that he always showed when Nagisa's bloodlust came out. He wasn't afraid anymore, but he was nonetheless put on edge.

Karma let his hands be pulled upward and pressed against the bedpost before they were locked together. Karma gave a testing tug before nodding. The next thing applied to him was the blindfold. The gag would be added later on as Nagisa played the dominant role and punished Karma for being too loud after things got heated up.

Nagisa was slow and methodical in his unwinding of Karma. Karma's muscles were pulled tight from hours of work and stress, and his mind was always running one hundred kilometers an hour, thinking up new plans and thoughts of what the future would hold. Blinding the redhead would help remove some of those thoughts, though not all. It took a skillful hand only Nagisa had to bring him to his knees and bare his neck in submission for Nagisa's bite. They had vanilla sex every so often, but neither of the boys had an especially high libido and would go for a while without wanting sex. For them, sex was more of a way to unwind and show the love they shared in a physical manner. Both of them enjoyed having more rough play and the occasional BDSM, but that was saved for special occasions. Tonight, for example, even though it was light.

Karma was quiet at first, small breathy moans escaping his lips as Nagisa sucked hickies onto his bare chest. Both of them were already naked, having removed clothes before Karma was restrained.

Nagisa moved down to softly suck at Karma's nipples, earning louder cries from the redhead.

Slowly, god, ever so slowly, Nagisa worked Karma up to his peak where he was on the verge of screaming. That was when Nagisa put the gag into Karma's mouth, and Karma's entire body relaxed into true, pure submission. Being restrained and having his speech and sight taken from him, Karma was able to drop his thoughts and give his body over to his lover, turning himself into a pretty porcelain doll for Nagisa to play with. It wasn't something that happened often when they had kinkier sex, as normally, when bottoming, Karma was in the role of a submissive, actively trying to please his dominant, rather than allowing himself to relax into a doll-like mindset. Nagisa had his own version of this mindset as well, though he allowed himself to go into it just a little bit faster than Karma did.

Nagisa smiled as he coated his fingers with lube and pumped Karma's dick with him, coating the hard flesh. He decided to skip out on preparing his ass this time, and just sunk down onto Karma instead. Karma gave a moan through the gag as he bucked his hips up a few times before going limp as Nagisa began to bounce on his cock.

Nagisa brought his hand to pump his own dick as he bounced on Karma, bringing himself to completion and causing Karma to come as well.

Nagisa relaxed onto Karma's chest after pulling out. The two remained in silence, cuddling happily for a while before Nagisa pushed himself up and un-did Karma's restraints and grabbed the wipes they had ordered earlier. Nagisa cleaned off his own chest before tossing Karma the box so he could do the same. Once decently clean, though they would still shower at home, the two checked out and got back into their car to go home.

---END SMUT END SMUT END SMUT---

The car ride home was silent, as Nagisa kept his eyes on the rode. His thighs hurt a little bit from the exercise but he was in better shape than Karma.

The two arrived back home at 23:52 where they opened the door to find Sakura sitting in the living room doing what looked like homework.

"Ah, welcome back. How was the night?" She smiled.

"It was good. Thank you for taking care of Iyu-chan. Did everything go okay?" Nagisa asked.

Sakura nodded. "She's still awake though. She didn't want to go to sleep without you. The note said that was okay, so I let her stay up. She's just in the restroom right now, she'll be back in a moment."

And as if summoned, a little dark-violet-haired girl came walking into the room, smiling as she saw that her parents had returned.

"Papa! Daddy! You're home!" She smiled. The pair nodded and engaged in some friendly chit chat before Karma gave Sakura some cash and drove her home, since her parents would already be asleep. Nagisa put Iyuka to bed as Karma and Sakura were out before going to his own bed to wait for Karma.

Karma came into bed and quickly got into his pajamas before curling up next to Nagisa, the two of them falling asleep happily, having very much enjoyed the much needed date night.
