Strawberry cake (Asano x Karma)

Chapter 8

Gakushu's POV

After 30 minutes, Karma has already left after telling me about how I should be more chill. But he was the one making himself comfy in my bed while I sat at my desk hearing him ramble.

When he left, he gave me a thumbs up and said "Don't be a prick all the time." And then he ran off. After he left, I went back to my room. My father then knocked on my door and came in.

"How was your study session?" He asks. Why the heck did he even bring karma. "I learned absolutely nothing. Why even ask him to come?" He starts to head to my bed and fix the covers.

"Find that out yourself. You are my son." He stares at me. It wasn't like karmas stare. It was that dark stare. The one he always gives me when he is serious.

He glanced at nagisa's notebook, the one I asked nagisa if I can borrow. "I see you're already trying to get caught up with e-class..." Has he already knew about the killing situation? What else is he hiding from me?

"Well then" He stood up. "I hope you enjoyed your first day at e-class. I'm almost done with dinner so I'll call you when I'm finished." He walked out of the door, his smile only grew. It wasn't like that twisted smile, it's more of a childish one. What was that?

I collapse on my bed. I felt so exhausted. Dealing with karma, my father teaching me a lesson but I have no idea what the reason is. Then I have to go back to e-class, with a task of killing a teacher. The one where I have no experience in whatever they are doing. Our teacher who is impossible to kill, who has un-godly abilities, who is amazing at teaching even though it's his first time I've met him. And the cherry on top, I had tons of work.

Dealing with all this in one day, wow it's way to exhausting for me. All of my thoughts merged together and made one big and nerve-racking thought.

Karma was different from most people.
He is very smart. A formidable opponent. To think about it, I've seen him the most today. Was that planned or was it chance? He may be sadistic but he is one of the most interesting person I've ever met. I can't wait to know more about him.

I then heard my father yell my name for dinner. We have been eating together for about a week. It's kinda hard to get used to. When I got to the dinner table, there was spaghetti.

The whole time I was there, it was just awkward silence until he said "You seem to be getting pretty close that Akabane kid." I glare at him, not hard just a stare.

"You helped me getting closer to him. What's up with that?" I say as my answer. He is the one that tried to make us closer. I mean, yeah we got a little bit close in class but other than that, we are still mutuals.

"Sorry if you misunderstand, I just thought since Karma is the smartest right now, I think you can learn something about him or from him. That's why I arranged the tutoring sessions." He gets his napkin and cleaned his mouth.

"Thanks for joining me for dinner." He says then walks out. I finished my dinner. He didn't intentionally make us closer? Something very weird is happening. But why would karma be included? He probably isn't. Maybe just an extra in the plan.

~Gakuho POV~

"Is everything going good?" This is one weird person. Why do they even want to do this. "Why do you want to do this again?" I ask.

"Nyufuffufufufu...... Gakushu seems to be too uptight. I want him to be happy here. A place where he can loosen up and have fun learning." I can understand him but why pair him up with this karma kid? Yes he is very smart but I want my son to be number one again

"Why Karma?" "I chose him because they seem to be connected. I notice them talking so I just automatically chose him. I don't think he knows anything about this." "Wow korosensei, are you playing matchmaker or just making them feel awkward?" I chuckle. I don't hate this plan, surprisingly.

"Nyeheehehhe I don't mind both of them ;)" I can practically hear the excitement in his voice. "Ok, ok just make sure gakushu gets his learning done before you settle you plan." "Got it sir, have a good night, goodbye." He hung up on me.

This is a plan that I might not need to interfere with. Just to think, gakushu, finally doing things he might want, having that conviction.

All he needs to do himself now is keep up his grades. My smile only grew. I should finish all of this paperwork first before I get all excited. I clear my desk, then I see a picture frame. It's me, gakushu, and..... "I miss you....." I take the picture frame, staring at it for a couple of seconds then put it on a shelf. I exhaled, let's get started.

Gakushu's POV

I went back to my room after dinner. When I entered my room, I flopped onto the bed. My head is hurting. I probably will have to do even more tomorrow, and today was just my first day.

I need to prove to my father that I can do better. But first, I need to know my fathers intentions. Why put me in e-class? Why is he fine with just telling me the most interesting thing that can ruin his whole career? I can't concentrate.

I'll think about this more tomorrow. I turned off my light and laid in my bed. My thoughts in disarray and yet, it focuses on one topic. "Karma..." He has been occupying my thoughts the whole day. He has been something that made my day exciting? I don't know the exact words but, I can tell we might be talking a bit more than what I have planned. Without even knowing, I was smirking.

(I just wanted to clear up the first day. Like, was I taking too long? I'm still trying to get used to writing this so bare with me. This is one of my first ship fanfics so please don't get that mad.)
