Karma's POV
"Rio, where are you taking me?! You do realise I'm still in Nagisa's body right?!" I fix my eyes on the blond. "I'm perfectly aware. I'm just being myself here." She retorts. "What? A meddler?" I smirk. She rolls her eyes and then stops, "Actually. Yes."
"Whyyyyy?! Why do you have to do this?!" I whine. "So you don't die alone. I'm getting you your future husband here so shut your gay mouth and follow me." She glares. Wow. "One: You're being quite rude there and you sound homophobic. Two: You're gay too. You think I don't notice these things? I've seen the looks you give Kayano. Those dreamy, I want to marry that person looks." Her jaw drops.
"Wha- No- Uh! Why do I bother?!" She tugs my arm harder. "Hey. You're going to give Nagisa's body bruises!"

You can't stop complaining can you?

I yank my arm from Rio's grasp just in time.
-Be more careful you stupid octopus! Only me, Nagisa and Karasuma know about this!

You're horrible.

-I know. I'm a sadist, it's my job.

"You ok?" I'm snapped out of it when a hand is waved in front of my face. "Yeah-"
"Rio! Hey!" I catch a flash of ash brown hair. Speak of the devil's partner in crime's crush. Get it? Because I'm the devil. "Kayano? What are you doing here?" She starts but is cut of when the short girl flings her arms around her. "Change of plans Rio! Let's go to the amusement park together!"
"Wait what about Okuda?" Kayano you sly little fox! I see what you're doing! "She's not invited. It'll just be us!"
"But... but... why? Why do you just want to be with me?" Here it comes...
"Is this a good enough answer?" I just about hear as Kayano leans in... and kisses Rio. My partner in crime reddens and her eyes go really wide. The kiss starts getting heavier and heavier until the two are making out. Me being me, I get out my phone and snap a couple of pictures. They break away panting. "All right! Rio, Kayano, I'm making a gay squad and we are the members!" I propose.
"What?" Kayano has a confused expression. "What about Nagisa? Aren't you going to invite him into it? He's gay isn't he?" Rio folds her arms and gives me one of her signature grins. "He doesn't know I'm gay."
"Then why don't you tell him?"
"No."
"But Karmaaaaa!"
"But Rioooooooo! No. That's my final answer on this conversation. I'll tell him when I'm ready and that will be when I confess." I stride off. "Where are you taking me anyway?"

She runs up with Kayano closely behind and grasps my arm again. "Here." She points. I'm looking at the biggest theme park I have ever seen. "Me and Kayano are going off somewhere so you're free to do whatever you want." They then desert me after we've payed and I'm alone. Like usual. Which ride should I go on first? I step into the queue for a huge rollercoaster with many different drops, twists, turns and loop-the-loops. Just my cup of tea. "Karma?" Huh? Who else would know it was me unless... "Nagisa?" The (formerly) bluenette smiles. He's decked out in a yukata covered in skulls, probably to convince people that it's me. He's so cute.

(I don't own the picture. It just gave me the inspiration for this.)

"Nice yukata."
"Thank you!" He beams. I just want to kiss him right there on the spot. "You want to ride with me?"
"O-ok." He casts his gaze downwards.
"Are you afraid?" I put my hand of his shoulder. "Maybe..." He scratches his head. Or my head. I hate this sometimes. "Hey don't be frightened. I'll be with you!"
"Because that gives me all the assurance I need." He rolls his eyes but stays with me anyway.

We get onto the ride. As soon as we've buckled up, Nagisa grabs my arm tightly. Oh, he's definitely a keeper. His cuteness is unbearable! I can't take it. No, Karma, keep it together. "Oh God. I'm terrified. Why did I agree to this? Why? Why?" He mutters. I pull him into a hug. His face promptly heats up and goes red. Koro Sensei is right, he does like me but I'm still too chicken to confess. What's wrong with me?! "It'll be fine. We're going to be fine." He looks at me with glittering eyes, "Promise?"
"Promise."
"Ok." And with that, hell erupts. The ride starts, we go whizzing forward and Nagisa is cutting off all circulation in my arm. Nagisa, don't you know that the blood still needs to get around my body? Apparently not. You're preventing it like a maniac. The ride gets to the top and shoots down. I'm laughing. This is so fun! Beside me, (still cutting the circulation off of my arm) is Nagisa, screaming to the top of his lungs. Damn, he can be loud. Or maybe it's just my body's influence. I don't know anymore. A thought quickly passes through, did Rio set us up. Probably. She's got us on, sort of, a date. Fine, if that's the way you want, I'll play along. I'll act like a loving boyfriend. That'll confuse her.

After the ride, Nagisa stumbles off wobbly and places his hand on my arm again. "You ok?" I frown.
He looks at me, "Karma, I feel sick." He looks really pale and slightly green. "The toilets are in that direction." I point. He nods ever so slightly and runs off. When he comes back, he looks a bit better. "I threw up. Please can we not go on one of those again? Your stomach seems to not have handled it well."
"Maybe it was just the person inside influencing it."
He feebly hits my shoulder, since he's taller now he can reach, "Knock it off." We start to walk and I start to get a really sly idea. Yes, see if you can handle this Rio! I reach over and take Nagisa's hand in mine. He stiffens up when he realises, looks down and blushes. "I quite like this." I smirk. He goes redder.
"So that's how we're playing it, are we?" He suddenly grins. Wait what is he...

He lent down and kissed my cheek. My cheeks burn, all the blood in my body rushing to them. Nagisa has gotten exactly what he intended to get back at me. "You're really cute when you blush, you realise that right?" He asks. I bury my head in my hands. "Says the one who looks irresistible blushing." I snap back. His face goes a brighter shade. We're even with 2 points each. "Shut up!" He squeaks.
"No Na-gi-sa." I stretch out his name. When he averts his gaze it's 3 points to me, 2 to Nagisa. "Please." He gives me these adorable eyes. "Still no. I'm not backing down."

"What if I do this?" He yanks on my yukata, pulling me forwards, our foreheads touching, lips centimetres apart. "Well? You going to back down now?" He speaks in a really soft tone. He has his hands curled around my waist, restraining my movement but also making me fall in love with the little guy even more, if that's entirely possible. I'm frozen, a complete statue. One of his hands brushes my cheek, tucking my new blue hair behind my ear. It's like time has stopped. I just want to stay here, under his spell, for the rest of my life. He has me mesmerised. Forget points, Nagisa has me in the palm of his hand, completely and utterly seduced. "N-nagi?" I utter out. "Yeah?" He flashes me and bright smile. "I- I..." Am I actually going to do this? Can I utter out the words 'I love you'? "Hm? Everything alright?" He looks concerned. I pull him closer to me, our lips practically touching. "Can we stay like this for a while, Nagi?" Karma just confess! What's stopping you?! You know he likes you too! Why can't you confess even then?! "Sure. I'm enjoying it." He is? Oh damn, I am too. But I can't say that. Why's life got to be so mean to me? Dangling this right in front of me and then pulling it away at the last second, I bet you that.

Our eyes meet. His auburn have widen and are sparkling. They catch me off guard, my eyes would never look like that. They would look sly and like I'm plotting something. But seeing Nagisa's effect on them... I will marry this guy. I promise you, I will. It will be more important than getting a good paying job. Marry Nagisa first, care about that stuff later. "Karma, I'm sorry for this, I can't help myself." Is that a warning that he's going to do something or is he apologising for this? When are lips connect, I realise it was the first one. He's kissing me. Nagisa Shiota is kissing me! My crush is kissing me! I curl my hands around his waist, pulling him into me. Continue, don't stop. Never stop. I just want to stay like this. Our eyes meet again through this, Nagisa's have a guilty look and mine, I'm pretty sure they are giving away to everyone else that I'm in love. I'm in love and I'm never going to stop being in love with this guy. If only Nagisa wasn't this oblivious when it came to people and their crushes. Otherwise, it's pretty obvious how I feel. I bite down on his lower lip. He gasps and I stick my tongue in. Yes that's right. You kiss me, I'll french kiss you back. It just occurred to me, I'm kissing my own body. Yikes. If Nagisa wasn't occupying it, this would be so gross.

When what seems like hours elapse, we pull apart, panting for air, our faces flushed. "G-gomensai Karma-kun..." He bows. "Wait '-kun'? Nagisa we're not being formal with each other anymore remember?" He apologised? But I liked it! I need to tell him, don't wimp out, don't wimp out. "Hey! Let's go on the Ferris Wheel!" He jumps and runs off. He's acting like that didn't just happen. Is he just as nervous as I am?

I guess so. He's never liked anyone other than you and he has no idea what to do.

I forgot about that guy. He just witnessed all of that.

I see he used some tactics that reminded me of Miss Irina, don't you think?

-Huh. Yeah I guess so. Oh, and same here. I'm going to ride the Ferris Wheel!
"Hey Nagisa wait up!" I shout and chase after the streak of red I see. We sit down in the set of seats, right next to each other. Why is he just trying to forget all about that? I am too and we're idiots for that. The sun is starting to set, has it really been that long? "So, uh, Nagisa?"
He glances at me, "Hm?"
"Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
"Ten years? Um let's see. I'll hopefully be a teacher-"
"You will be a teacher, you'll be just as good as Koro Sensei." I cut him off.

Aww thank you Karma that was so sweet! You really thought that?

-Go away you octoperv! I'm in the middle of something!

Waah! I want Nagisa back! He's much nicer than you!

-...I know, he is.
"Thanks Karma! Anyway, I hope to be in a relationship, maybe married, I don't know. And in that relationship I hope to be with the guy I've been in love with for about seven years." He's twiddling his thumbs, nervous. "Seven years?"
"Since the first year of Junior High." He's looking down, not meeting my gaze. He's liked me for that long? "Now, what about you? Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
"I'll have a (fingers crossed) well paying job, probably being a bureaucrat. I also hope to be with the guy I'm crushing on."
"Guy? Crush?" I cover my mouth. Damn, should have said person. Now it's only going to lead to... "Karma, are you gay?" This. "Yes..."
"Why didn't you tell me? For how long?" He's smiling, eyes twinkling. "I was gay around the same time you told me you were."
"Baka." Nagisa lightly hits my arm, "It would have been nice to know."
"Gomen. I was scared. I still am. Haven't told my parents. Only you, your sister, Rio and Kayano know."

And me!

"And Koro Sensei." I grimace.
"So this guy, is he nice?"
"Extremely, he's the purest, most adorable person I know." I smile when describing the very person next to me. "I love him." Why is that so easy when talking about the person when you're not confessing? "He's actually..."
"You're going to tell me who you like?" Nagi's eyes widen. "Yes I am." Am I actually doing this? Omg. Omg. Omg! "He's actually y-" The Ferris Wheel grinds to a halt... at the top. "What's going on?" Nagisa clutches my arm. "Karma I've got something to confess." What? Oh wow. Is he really...
"I'm terrified of heights." I sweatdrop. Oh that. I pull the not so little anymore guy into a hug. "Everything will be alright. They'll fix it. In the mean time, look at the sunset." The sunset in question is stunning and the perfect distraction. Reds, oranges, yellows, pinks and whites. "Oh wow." He breathes. "Fun fact, if a couple kisses at the top of a Ferris Wheel at sunset they will be blessed with eternal love."
"That's nice Karma but we're not a couple."
"I'm aware of that." Yeah, painfully aware.
"Sorry I was just joking about. The thing is, how are we supposed to know who we are going to spend the rest of our lives with? I mean, I really want to end up with this person but are they necessarily the one?"
"God, you sound like Ted Mosby."
"Who?" I gasp.
"You mean to tell me that you've never seen 'How I Met Your Mother'?"
"Yes. Never heard of it." I gasp again.
"That's it. We're watching it when we get back. I can't believe you don't know who Ted Mosby is..."
"Karma the point is that I can snatch the opportunity when I need to. This person, the only person I've ever been in love with, could be my soul mate. Do I have the courage to go through with it? Or will I regret it for the rest of my life?"
"Nagisa. I'm going to propose something. I dare you to confess to this man by the end of April, no lying involved. Otherwise, you have to tell the entire class."
"Karma they're in our class."
"Exactly."
"Fine. Challenge accepted!" I snigger. "What?"
"Now you sound like Barney Stinson."
"Why do I even bother? Anyway, I'll only do it if you follow the same conditions."
"You're forcing me to do it?"
"Yes."
"Challenge accepted!" We shake hands and hold each other's gaze for a while. The Ferris Wheel decides to go flying forwards and start up again. This causes me and Nagisa to kiss. For crying out loud, the second time today. A memory resurfaces...
"Fun fact, if a couple kisses at the top of the Ferris Wheel at sunset they will be blessed with eternal love."
Oh God. My own fact, thrown in my face. Maybe this is meant to be... We leap apart. "Gomensai!"
"Gomensai!"
And that led to the most awkward walk back to our apartment ever. In later years, I would find out that Rio caused the Ferris Wheel to break down and got multiple pictures, even a video, of the two times we kissed. She's also responsible for breaking off my confession. Dammit Rio!

Elsewhere,
"So he's an assassin like me, huh? This isn't going to be easy." She glares at the info she collected earlier that day. Her red hair slides forwards and she responds by tucking it behind her ear. "I just hope after this is done that I'll get to see him again." She looks at the phone contact, the one her bosses have blocked and she can't find the way to unblock it. "It's been years since I last saw him...

"Karma Akabane, my little brother."

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Ta da! You all thought that I was going to make the ship canon. No, I made a ship canon but it wasn't Karmagisa. The little guys are gonna have to wait a while longer.

Also, shout out to the HIMYM squad! I'm on the seventh season so please don't spoil it for me. I'll just make references here and there.

Another reference I made was when Karma said "the end of April, no lying involved." See if you can guess what he's talking about.

Here's the Karmagisa picture of the day!

Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one! Things will esculate pretty quickly.

Bye!
