Warning: This chapter contains a few mentions to sexual activity briefly (there is no actual smut, just mentions to the practice (and all the characters think it's gross))

Nagisa was currently wondering why humanity was made up of such useless creatures that he even started to play with the idea of ending the species entirely (thinking about it further, he had the strangest feeling that there was some other world in which he and Karma did that... (*Starling shamelessly promotes her favorite book*)). Except for the select few who were decent or contributed something of worth, of course, but he couldn't help but internally smile at the thought of skinning several people alive. No wonder he was an assassin.

One of the many people he wanted dead was an annoying blond who had been set on pestering on the blue-haired boy.

Nagisa could count on one hand the amount of people who had seen him before he killed them, and all of them had asked for a mercy they didn't get. He was now seriously questioning why he learned to use this "mercy" again after Silver-sensei had taken it right out of him.

His face was blank on the outside, excluding the slight scrunch up of his nose of disgust, but he was full on hurling on the inside. The light haired male that stood in front of him was grinning, showing off his perfect set of white teeth, and some light freckles dotting his nose and cheeks. He was attractive, objectively, but all those features crumbled under the weight of his horrendous attitude. He guessed that's what some people used to think about Karma when they didn't know him as anything but the Kunugigaoka demon/delinquint.

"I know it's kinda sudden, but it'll just be a moment. You're pretty small, but I know how to be careful. It's not my first time after all~."

Nagisa, despite bluntly refusing upon many occasions, was given the offer often. Actually, given would be an understatement. It was more along of the lines of shoving the idea into his mind until he gave in.

But let us be very clear, he was not going to give in. It made him uncomfortable just to think of being put in that kind of situation, and although it wasn't as if he hadn't done it before, it was... different this time. He was in love the other times.

The taller boy leaned over in his direction, lowering his voice so he was murmuring into the bluenette's ear. "Oh come on. It's just for a night, and if you enjoy yourself, you can certainly come back. I'm always open. And I'm extremely gentle for the first time..." He trailed off, letting the appalling thoughts settle.

Karma, appearing beside Nagisa suddenly, gripped his lover's arm and gently lead him away from the blond. There were no words to be spoken, no hidden messages, no glance at one another.

Just being there was good enough, and they headed home in a comfortable silence.

"I have a couple new toys at home, you know. I bought them just in case you wanted to stop by." Eyes looked the assassin up and down, taking in his appearance. A tongue licked dry lips wet. "I've heard you moan pretty loudly. I'm sure a night at my house and little bit of pain and I could make your throat sore."

Karma came to save the day.

Or rather, to give the blonde a black eye.

Nagisa smiled warmly as the boy fell harshly to the ground, Karma kicking his face so to knock him out.

Karma turned to smile back at Nagisa and link their arms before walking them home.

"Thanks for that love, he was quite annoying."

--- (le time skip brought to you by an Owl snacking on cookies) ---

Karma was fuming, and Asano could even see the smoke rising from him.

Asano turned his glance to look where Karma's eyes were locked, to see a boy flirting with Nagisa.

He offered Karma three words of advice and a message of worth before walking to his car to go home.

"Don't get caught. I'll get his files ready to be removed from the school's database, and I'll make sure my Father turns a blind eye when his grades suddenly drop."

Karma turned to his recolor, giving him a curt nod of thanks before walking towards Nagisa.

The first time, he could make good attempts to deal with. He wasn't that surprised that people were flirting with Nagisa. He was quite beautiful, and while he wanted to shred anyone who did the unforgivable act to pieces, he had to admit that if that were the case, he would have been caught 30 times at the very least. Shredding someone is quite difficult to get away with, even if Nagisa had done that a few times when it was the requested method.

But the second time was too much for the redhead. And it was so lewd. So upright, blunt and disgusting, not to mention how it incredibly lacked personal space. So it wasn't a surprise when the kid went to school the next day with a huge bruise on his face. But it wasn't that he came to school that pissed him off. It was the way that he still thought, even after the beating he got and the multiple rejections, that he could get Nagisa to become his slave for his own pleasure.

At first, Karma wouldn't be so quick to accuse the male of being that horrendous, but from the way the guy was acting and how he continued to push Nagisa around, it became known quickly that the blond didn't actually want anything to do with the bluenette other than having Nagisa as his toy.

So when Karma went to go pick up Nagisa, having skipped the last class out of boredom (it was English after all), and for the third time in a row the blonde was there, he nearly smashed something. He could hear his words clearly from where he was standing multiple meters away, he was that loud.

"Come on, babydoll. My pants are getting tight, and it would be unfortunate to bend you here where someone could easily walk in on us and interrupt the fun~. I can see how much you want it too."

Karma turned to look at Nagisa's face, almost laughing at how far the boy was from being correct, the bluenette's face showed the same emotionless mask he wore when he was a very second away from killing whoever was getting on his nerves.

Nagisa was close to snapping, however unlike Karma, whose anger could be related to a raging volcano about to burst forth angry magma and immediately kill everything in it's path, the former's anger was as sharp and cold as ice, and almost more dangerous in that sense as it wouldn't give a moderately quick death, quite on the contrary, in fact. Instead of allowing them to die, he'd slowly freeze them from the inside out, their blood turning solid before shattering out of their skin, and if the cold didn't get to the source of his anger, the freezing of all their water sources, the uselessness of their crops, and lack of oxygen as even the air became cold enough to turn into a liquid would.

"No. I'm not interested. Now leave me alone- it's in your own best interest to do so." Before, Nagisa had used polite words, like "I'm sorry," and "no thanks, I have a boyfriend". Now, he was too irritated to do so, and in order to get his point across, he completely ignored formal phrases and got to the point, even throwing in an accurate threat for good measure. Karma, once again, could save the bluenette, seeing as the pervert still couldn't get it into his thick skull that Nagisa didn't care for him.

--- (le time skip brought to you by Owl almost falling asleep) ---

When the guy came next time, Karma was already there. Nagisa was about to leave with him when the lightest haired of the disunited trio opened his mouth again. He remarked something, standing right beside the bluenette with his hand on Nagisa's hip, of which wasn't relevant. Karma snapped.

He pushed the kid away forcefully, grabbing his tie. Several other kids glanced their way, but no one went to stop it. "Look, idiot," Karma snarled. "You better get the hell out of our hairs unless you want me to strangle you with your own entrails. Didn't my boyfriend already tell you it was in your best interest to leave him alone?"

Or something along the lines. Due to younger audiences, there were probably some swearing in there that was replaced or removed, by yours truly (Owl did all the censoring- Starling's a potato who would have just had Karma kill him there and write it as graphically as her writing-senpai does).

The blond sneered but left, a dark cloud hanging over him as he stuck his hands in his pockets. Karma grabbed a glowering Nagisa by the elbow and lead him back to his house. The blonde would come back, although it would be a week afterwards.

And karma will be a bitch to him for it.

And Karma will be a bitch to him for it.

--- (le time skip brought to you by Owl typing furiously) ---

Nagisa had just been harassed by the idiot again, after a week of peace and quiet, and he wanted nothing more than to sleep. But, as he rolled over in the middle of the night, he wasn't surprised to find that Karma was still up, on his computer, typing on his keyboard furiously. A camera was sitting on his bedside table, a high quality one that he didn't use often, charging.

One quick glance at the screen and Nagisa realized that Karma was hacking into the school and changing the blonde's grades all to zeroes. He smiled lightly, murmured "thank you" to him, rubbed his back for a few minutes before he let go of his assassination training and fell back asleep. He still didn't know what the camera was for, but he guessed it was for recording and taking pictures of the blond doing things he shouldn't be.

He was on point. Karma created a collage of the boy harassing all the students and perving in on the girls as they changed after gym (which both Karma and Nagisa found quite tedious and they usually skipped, as the workouts done in the class were rudimentary stuff, hardly difficult what-so-ever) and posted it on every school board available, making his image crumble into no more than just dust.

Asano also kept his word, and the Chairman said nothing at the sudden drop of grades.

--- (le time skip brought to you by Starling taking over)---

"So, how long are you going to make me wait~~ it's been weeks and we both know how this ends~."

"Yeah with my boyfriend killing you." Nagisa muttered before using his assassination abilities to instantly vanish from the sight of the damn flirt, he wasn't going to wait this time, he was more than a little done.

--- (GUESS WHAT TIME IS IT? SKIP TIME YAYAYAYAYAYA) ---

"He flirted with you again, didn't he?" Karma's eyes were blazing with the fire that stayed eternally alight within him.

Nagisa nodded, walking over to his lover and bringing his lithe fingers to run them through Karma's short red hair, softly bringing the two of them into closer proximity so to allow his breaths to ghost upon Karma's neck.

Karma innately relaxed under the touch, melting from the inside out as he moved to sit down on the bed, not trusting that he'd be able to stand for much longer, Nagisa following and lightly guiding Karma's head into his lap.

Nagisa slowly began to hum a little lullaby for his restless lover, knowing if he left Karma to his anger he'd get no sleep, and therefore preform a sloppy kill, quite possibly leaving some form of evidence and getting himself locked up.

The soft singing entered Karma's ears and he closed his eyes, no time in between him hearing the lullaby and him falling into a deep sleep.

Nagisa smiled softly, whispering to himself.

"Works every time."

Nagisa moved from having Karma in his lap to cuddling with him, enjoying the warmth as always.

Later in the night

Karma cracked open his eyes. It was about 3 in the morning, plenty late and not too early for a good skinning of an annoying asshole.

Slowly and as carefully as physically possible, Karma gathered all the necessary supplies, thankful Nagisa made sure he would have some rest before doing this, as he was sure he'd be forgetting simple things like gloves to keep his fingerprints off the victim.

He grabbed a random knife off of the table, (don't ask why there were multiple knives on the table) and right before he left the room a soft voice perked up behind him.

"That one's way too dull, take mine instead." Nagisa passed Karma a visibly sharper knife that had a few flecks of blood still staining the handle.

"Thank you darling, now go back to sleep. I'll be home soon." Karma kissed Nagisa's nose, earning a small peck on the lips before Nagisa walked back to the bed and went back to sleep, just as Karma exited the house.

The Next Morning

The TV was on, even though neither boy was watching, already knowing what the news would speak about.

"This just in, last night Kudaranai Meiwaku, an 18 year old student at Kunugigaoka High School, was found murdered in his home. The murderer left no traces of who they were, other than their odd choice to cut off Kudaranai's genitals. Police are searching for any signs on the identity of the killer so they can be locked up behind bars as soon as possible. Now onto the weather! It seems that the winter is over, and warmer temperatures are coming in..."

Nagisa turned to Karma and smiled.

"Thank you, Love."

"Anything for you, Darling."
