T/w: mentions of physical & mental ab*se (trauma tiiiiime~)
After Gakushuu calmed down enough, for Karma standards, they let go of his shoulder & smiled at him is their normal Karma way.
Not too long after, Kayano asked Gakushuu a question.
"Hey, Asano, do your most prefered pronouns change?," she asked.
"Yeah, sometimes I guess, although he/him are good today," he answered.
"Ok. Would you like me to make coloured bracelets so we can see which ones are good for you?"
"Sure, if you wanna. But you don't need to."
"Nonsense. I would be glad to do that. I'll have them done by tomorrow!"
Gakushuu was surprised by that. He was even more surprised when Karma laid their head on his shoulder.
"That is how Karma shows affection after a long day of work," said Nagisa.
"Is this normal?," asked Gakushuu.
Kayano & Nagisa said nothing, but just smiled. Gakushuu looked around the coffee shop & saw Isogai smiling at him & Karma.
"It's just affection. It won't kill you," mumbled Karma.
"I'm not used to positive affection," admited Gakushuu.
"Do you wanna talk about it?," asked Nagisa.
"Yeah, actually. Wait. You're not gonna use it againsed me will you?," Gakushuu said to the group.
"Why would we? We've told each other our traumas, & we have all agreed not to tell anyone else," said Kayano.
"I may be cruel, but even I wouldn't stoop to something that low," said Karma, "Isn't that right?"
Nagisa & Kayano both nodded their heads.
"Well, ok then. I'll tell you."
Gakushuu then started telling them, "Well, I'm not actually used to positive affection, mainly because of my dad. When he's mad, or I do something wrong, like get something under a perfect score on a test, he likes to take his anger out on me, physically. He also liked to tell me how much I've failed him, & that I should do better, or that he doesn't know how he could consider me his 'son.' He does this stuff often too. It's not like my mom can do anything to stop him either, since she left when I was a little kid."
When Gakushuu finished, he looked like he was gonna cry, & Karma decited it would be a good idea to get off of his shoulder.
"You ok Asano?," asked Karma.
Gakushuu just nodded his head & decited to try to brighten the mood.
"Well, I think today was a good day of class," he said while putting on a pretty fake smile.
The other three weren't fooled by it.
"Can I give you a hug or something?," asked Karma.
"Yeah sure," replied Gakushuu.
With that, Karma gave Gakushuu a light hug, as to not make him uncomfortable.
"You know, I remember you to be a lot more feral," said Gakushuu.
"Yeah? Well I remember you being a lot more of an ass," said Karma back.
"How pleasant," said Kayano at the two as Nagisa just quietly laughed at them.
"Hey, do you three want to come over so we can do our homework together?," offered Karma.
Kayano instantly agreed, but Nagisa & Gakushuu both said that they would need to text their respective parent, to which they both said yes, mainly because of the power of lies. But never the less, they both said yes. Actually, with Nagisa's lie, his mother also said that he could stay over night if he wanted to, since he did say it was Kayano that he was staying with, but he said he'll see.
The way to Karma's was much more lively than the time when it was just Nagisa & Karma, but that was because Kayano & Gakushuu were coming with them that time. Although, when the four of them arrived, things turned pretty crazy, because Karma's parents were home.

Haha. Ok. This is the second chapter I've finished because I didn't wanna write chapter 4. Also, yes. I am writing chapters in advance. Very productive I know. Anywho, I got out of taking two state tests, for different reasons, but hey! It's fine. I totally didn't stay up all night doing my makeup, hair, actually getting dressed, & emailing my assistant principal just to be told that I wasn't taking a test. Haha, totally not. But at least I look cute! I FUCKING HATE MONDAYS. Also, I forgot to mention that in this story, Gakushuu is genderfluid, but I myself am not gender fluid, so if I make a mistake, please correct me! Now, go drink water kids!
update: i uploaded this eight months later than when i finished this. sorryyyyy

Damn Right
FanfictionNagisa looked like any other student. He wore the uniform. He did the work. He even participated in class. What the class didn't know, they would soon find out. Karma was very open about themself. Everyone knew of their identity & it wasn't a secret...
