Chapter 14: Tension

~To The Story~

"Ow, (y/n) why are you dragging me-- hey!"

With one final push, you manage to shove Nagisa into your room and never hearing his cry out when you did. Before you entered, you took a quick scope around. Everyone else was still busy in the living room, either talking amongst themselves and or eating the rest of the snacks that were leftover.

Thinking you were in the clear, you closed the door of your room.

"Am I really that easy to be pulled around?" Nagisa quietly asked himself with a dejected look on him. Brushing those words aside, he turned to you, knowing full well that you dragged him in here to tell him some sort of secret.

You clasped your hands together and gave your dear friend an apological smile for treating him like a ragdoll for a moment there.

He sighed and let you know that it was no big deal.

"I didn't want Karma-kun to know what I'm talking about." You signed.

Karma? Nagisa couldn't help but have a quizzical look on him. He couldn't come up with an idea as to why you don't want Karma specifically to listen in on this.

"What about Karma-kun?" Nagisa signed.

From Nagisa's question, the temperature on your cheeks began to overheat. It was the same feeling you had when you outed your crush to the three girls at the mall not too long ago.

"I have a crush on him." You quickly signed, keeping your eyes shut. Nagisa, however, was able to catch the sentence you made with your hands.

"Eh?" He didn't sign back at all. He was just at a standstill.

You went on though, despite his lack of response. "It kinda happened a little while ago." You pressed your hands against your cheeks, feeling a goofy smile creeping up on your face.

At this, Nagisa's eyes soften and a small smile. He loves how happy and giddy you got. That aside, he begins to go over what you said. You have a crush on Karma? Karma of all people? Okay, he was getting suspicious between the two of you over the past week or so. He does catch you glancing at Karma from time to time, those small bashful gestures you do whenever Karma is around and giggle whenever you're reading a funny/cute text message from Karma.

Though, Nagisa just brushes those off, trying not to think much of it even though it will always nag him in the back of his mind. But now it's confirmed. And he doesn't know how to feel about that.

"You like Karma-kun?" Nagisa signed, making sure he isn't talking so no one can listen.

You nodded, the colour red clouding your cheeks. "Sorry, is it weird that I like your friend?" You signed, bashfully.

Nagisa immediately waved his hands and head. "No, no, no." He then cleared his throat, then went on to sign. "It's not weird. I'm just surprised."

You smiled. "I thought I tell you since I told the other girls already." Your thumb pointed at the door.

'So, Kayano, Nakamura-san and Okuda-san know?' Nagisa mused. Knowing those three, they must be all in on shipping you and Karma. All you need next is Koro-sensei and the rest of the class and then you'll have the whole package.

"You didn't have to tell me, though." He signed.

"I did." You signed with a sure look on you. "You're my best friend, so it's only fair."

"Oh."

"Also, since you are his friend, you should be able to help me get closer to him." You signed back.
