"Akabane"

You whispered and he looked at you in question.

"What?"

"I hate you."

"Come on... you are just in detention with me. How bad can it be? In your place, I would consider myself lucky~" he said and winked at you.

An hour ago

When the bell for the last lesson rang, you entered the classroom with Kayano. Apparently, Yukiko was too busy today talking and laughing with Isogai, since the yesterday' s date was an ultimate success.

"Y/N" Kayano said and pointed at your desk" look there"

You noticed a blue letter and a rose over there. You approached and took the letter in your hands.

"Y/N, I am sorry I am not brave enough to ask you from up close... I have been thinking about it for days, and I would like to ask you to date me for a week. The truth is... I have a feeling that you are my soulmate. I will appreciate it even if you consider the chance... I promise I will not let you down.
If you accept, meet me today after school outside the school gate. If you don't appear after 20 minutes... I will take it as a no. I will accept your answer no matter what it is, so don't let it burden you."

"I find it cute though" Kayano giggled, looking at the letter and you blushed slightly.

"Indeed. I think I will accept."you said smiling in embarrassment and your friend clapped.

Right then, you heard a hand slapping a desk. You looked behind you and noticed an annoyed Karma. He approached you dangerously and lowered his voice so that only you would hear him. Kayano stepped behind shocked by his actions.

"So you accept this whatever guy in just a second, but denied me three times in a row? You need to know, I don't like where this is going."

You pushed him away. The whole class was secretly staring at you.

"I will not explain my every date move and reason to you, Akabane. Leave me alone."

You sat on your seat and he did the same, but you heard him warning you.

"Oh, I won't let you off so easily."

You didn't really pay attention to that back then. All you were thinking about was your date after school. Who could that boy be? And could he possibly be what you were looking for? Karma was what mattered the least...

Until he destroyed everything.

"Teacher" he interrupted the lesson and the whole class looked at him. He had some pink folded papers on his desk. "Y/N has been sending love letters to me non-stop during class. I can't focus on the lesson."

You got up from your seat and glared at him.

"I did what?!"

"Teacher, see yourself" Karma said ignoring you, and the teacher approached him and took some of the folded papers.

"Akabane... why are you so hot today?"

He raised an eyebrow and stared at you. The whole class laughed.

"I didn't write this! Teacher, believe me! I can't even stand him, how would I possibly say that?!"you said but he didn't seem to believe you.

He kept reading more of these letters.

"Akabane, outloud I always say that you annoy me and that I can't stand you, but you know... it's just because I am embarrassed to say... how much I like you."

The class laughed again. Your eyes were wide open. Karma gave you an innocent look and you wanted to open his red head up on the wall.

"I didn't write any of this shit! Akabane did it himself!"

"Y/N!" The teacher yelled at you, and only then you realised what you had said"This is your handwriting, I know it too well to misunderstand, so don't deny it. You are a model student, but speaking in that manner and blaming Karma-kun... I have no problem with students in love, but disturbing your classmate and behaving like that... I can't take it. Come to my office after class."

He gave you the papers and went back to teaching. Only then you noticed that the handwriting of the letters was indeed the same as yours. You stared at Karma and he showed his tongue to you.

After class, you dragged Karma out of class, ignoring the" AWWWWW" your classmates were screaming.

"You even memorized my handwriting?!"

You yelled and he shrugged, smirking again.

"Even your signature, but I haven't used it yet. I am amazing, aren't I?"

"Why did you do that?! Why do you keep making my life a mess?!"

You felt a hand dragging you from behind. It was the teacher, pulling you to the office.

"You will come with me, little miss" he said.

Right then, Karma shouted the name of a classmate of yours.

"Terasaka!"

Terasaka looked weirdly at him and approached him.

"What?"

Karma punched him hard in the face. Terasaka passed out and fell on the floor.

"Akabane!!!" The teacher yelled" To my office, now! For God's sake, what the hell is wrong with students these days?!"
--

"Wait for me right here. Don't move. Y/N, don't flirt with him, and Akabane, don't punch anything."

Those were the last words the teacher said before leaving you alone with Karma in his office. You really wanted to vomit.

"As if I would flirt with him!"

"I know I am a temptation, but try to control yourself" Karma said, enjoying your ultimate annoyed face.

"Because of you, I will end up in detention. I haven't been in detention for one and a half years! What did I do to deserve this?!"

"Maybe if you had been nicer to me, you wouldn't be here right now. Oh my" he said and looked at the clock on the wall" 5 minutes have passed already. This is bad, isn't it?"

My date...

"Akabane!"you got up and stood in front of him.

He looked at you amused. He eyes locked in yours, you realised you couldn't look away from him.

"Why are you treating me like this? From the day I rejected you and on, you had been making my school life hell. Is it because I am a threat to your first place in class?"

He laughed slightly and you knew you were wrong.

"You are no threat to me."

"Then why? And after the incident with Nagisa-kun, you keep asking me to date you... you even brought us in the teacher' s office so that I won't go to my date! Can't you just tell me what you want so that we will peacefully end this war?"

For about a minute no one talked. Karma's stare at you was unexpectedly warm... you were slowly melting like ice cream.

Hot mess.

Why couldn't you stop repeating that anyways? It was really annoying. You cursed Kayano.

"What I want... is to take on your challenge."

And with then, he grabbed your wrists and pulled you towards him. You managed to stop yourself from falling from his armchair's arms, making your body stable, but your knees were on his lap and literally, you were almost over him. Your face was a little above his. You could even smell him. For a moment or two, you felt like you were aware of every cell of his existence, even though you were touching him only through knees.

Sitting comfortably on his chair, he raised his head and looked at you smirking again. Having him so close to you...

Right then the door opened.

"I am back and... WTF WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?!"

You quickly stepped back panicked and fell on the floor with your butt. Karma wore his innocent eyes again and shrugged .

"She flirted with me. Apparently, she wanted a kiss. I think she is dangerous."

You were about to protest, but the teacher's voice was so loud you couldn't even listen to your thoughts.

"Y/N! HOW DARE YOU BEHAVING LIKE THAT TO A TEACHER'S OFFICE?! DETENTION FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS!"

Oh c'mon... please someone kill me...

You looked blankly at the teacher, unable to say anything. Karma stood up and nodded.

"That's right. This was so dirty, Y/N, I almost blushed. Uh, teacher, is this laptop yours?"

Karma pointed at the laptop on teacher's desk. The teacher just nodded, still unable to get over the previous shock.

Karma took the laptop and threw it to the floor. You moved away surprised and the teacher screamed, watching his laptop shattering to pieces right in front of his eyes.

"WHY???!!! WHY MY LAPTOP???!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????!!!!! HOW IS MY LAPTOP AT FAULT FOR YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS????!!!! AKABANE KARMA, YOU ARE IN DETENTION UNTIL I MAKE SURE I WONT KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!"

Karma sighed and looked at you smiling.

"Looks like there is no date today, huh?"
