Study sessions(Completed)

10

Karma didn't focus the entire class, and he didn't pay much attention during assassination attempts, or at training either. When they were assigned to pairs for a one on one, Karma purposely lost to Nagisa. It was painfully obvious the red head wasn't even trying, and he just seemed so full.

Actually, Karma has been like this for a few days now, and it was worrying his friends. What happened to their red haired devil?

"Maybe he's having problems at home, do you think his parents are giving him a hard time?" Rio whispers to Nagisa and Kayano.

"No, I don't think that's it" Nagisa sighed, thinking of possible reasons why Karma wasn't his usual self.

Even Koro-sensei couldn't get anything out of him and the yellow octopus was getting more worried by the day. Everyone was sure he would gladly welcome a wasabi and mustard prank if it means getting their old Karma back.

Then Nagisa remembered Karma's crush on Asano and thought bringing up the strawberry blonde would make him happy. "Karma-kun! Why don't you go hang out with Asano-kun after school? Didn't you say you've become really close now?" To his shock, the red head lost his entire color and he looked close to crying

What happened to Karma? Karma never cries! What's going on?!

"So it really does have something to do with Asano then" Itona said blankly. "He probably got rejected and now he's going through what every teenager goes through when the person they like doesn't like them back. Enter depression and eat giant buckets of ice cream"

Nagisa sweatdropped when he remembered the many months Karma would stuff his face with bucket filled ice cream while moaning about how he "....Don't like Asano-kun!" Or " as if I would ever like a square like him!" Before becoming... "he'll never like me back" and then...

"He's so hot damn it! Just thinking about his gorgeous face is giving me a nosebleed"

And  "Why doesn't Gakushu like me back? I'm good looking am I? And I'm as smart as him!"

Then-

"Gakushū's eyes are so pretty, I could stare at them all day"

"I like him so much Nagisa-kun"

"I really really like him"

"He's not as bad as I thought he was, it's his damn father that's corrupting him!"

"I can't believe I'm acting like a lovesick girl, this is embarrassing"

"Fuck it, I'm making a move!"

Aaaand weeks later he did make a move. Nagisa saw Karma ask the student council president to study with him.

Asano looked reluctant, but Karma was pursuasive and, in the end he got Asano to agree.

It was the happiest he's seen his best friend. For a whole week Karma would brag about his day with Asano(study study study, games, eat out, study, study, talk shit about Asano Gakuho)

It seemed like everything was going well, so what happened?

"Did Karma confess and got turned down?" Nagisa thought worriedly as he walked down the mountain.

"No. Knowing Karma, he wouldn't take no for an answer. Heck, he'd probably annoy Asano-kun to the point of insanity until he agrees to date him! Something else happened between them...but what is it?"

Meanwhile, Karma still hadn't left for home. What was the rush? There was no one waiting for him back home anyway.

"Not leaving yet?" Came Itona's voice from behind him. Karma turned his head and smiled at the smaller boy.

Itona took a seat on top of Karma's desk and stared at the red head with big eyes. Karma actually found this cute, but at the same time unnerving because of how intense Itona's stare is. "Umm...what's wrong?" Karma asked.

"I should be asking you that. What's wrong with you?" Itona crossed his legs in an idian position. "You're preformance in class has changed. You're not paying attention, at all, and you don't seem remotely interested in killing nii-cha--.... Koro-sensei" Itona stopped himself just in time before he called their octopus teacher 'brother' again.

Karma frowned and looked out the window. "I don't see how that's any of your business"

"It is if it'll affect future assasination plans" Itona retorted. "We can't focus with your bad vibes ruining everyone's mood. I found myself emotionally eating with Koro-sensei earlier" that was Itona's way of saying he cares for Karma.

Karma's frown deepened. Itona leant closer to the red haired boy, secretly admiring his handsome features. "Nagisa says you and Asano had gotten close. I have a feeling something happened between you two"

Karma's face whiplashed to face Itona. Bingo. Itona's lips quirked. "Did you confessed, kissed him, and then got turned down and slapped?" Itona sounded giddy at the idea, Karma realised. "No, it's...something else. But what you said is close to what happened, and that's how I feel. I feel like I got rejected and then slapped even though he didn't hit me or technically reject me" Karma realised he didn't actually confess his feelings either. He thought maybe Asano might get the hint through sex!

Maybe Asano was denser than he thought.

Karma's thoughts were spinning in his brain, and it was making his head hurt.

Just then, the door slid open with a loud 'Bang!' and in came a panting and sweaty student council president who looks like he just ran a marathon.

"K-Karma!" Asano gasped, taking deep breaths.

Karma glared at him. "Oh so we're back to first name basis now?"

Itona looked at Karma then at Asano confused.

Before Asano could get another word out, Karma got up from his seat, picks up his bag and ran out of the classroom.

Asano followed after him.

Itona stood alone in the classroom still confused.
