The Secret Life Of Nagisa Sensei

(5-2) Nagisa's Birthday

Nagisa awoke to a ray of sunlight shining through the gap in his curtains and resting over his eyes. He rolled over, reaching out to put his arm round Karma, but he grasped nothing but air. His eyes shit open, searching for the redhead. It's not like Karma to get up before me.

He rolled onto his back and lay there. It was the last day of term. Tomorrow would be the start of summer break. After the hectic first term, both he and his students needed a little time to relax.

Ahh, Friday. He thought. Such a sweet day. Saturday tomorrow, the first day of holiday. Then, a trip out of country the week after. We go away on the 28th of July, a week tomorrow. That's not a lot of time. I need to start packing soon. What's the date today? The 20th.

Wait. The 20th of July. That's my birthday. How could I forget.

Nagisa shot up and got out of bed. He knew know why Karma must have gotten up earlier. What the redhead was planning, he had no idea. He performed his normal morning routine and made his way downstairs, still yawning.

He saw nothing. Karma was nowhere to be seen. He shrugged. Karma had been through a hard time, what with getting kidnapped. He probably forgot. Who could blame him.

That was when he heard the front door open and a panting male rush in.

"He he." Karma wheezed. "Oh, Nagi, you're awake."

"I am. Good morning Karma. Where were you?" The bluenette replied, making out like it was just a normal day.

Karma walked up to the bluenette and embraced him.

"Happy birthday." The redhead whispered. This caused Nagisa to smile and shiver at the same time. "Come on blueberry. Follow me."

Karma took Nagisa's hand and led him back upstairs to the study. In there was a small arrangement of wrapped gifts.

"Oh Karma. You really didn't have to. You've had a stressful week." Nagisa said, despite being happy that Karma did remember.

"It's ok blueberry. I didn't have too much time, but I made it work. You were the one who had the really stressful time though. And you saved us. That deserves something don't you think?"

Nagisa smiled and turned to face his lover.

"I love you Karma. Thank you." He said. Karma smiled.

"I know."

Nagisa turned to face his pile of gifts and began to open them. There was a vase of roses on the table, which looked suspiciously like the ones the reaper had sold him for Irina's birthday. Still, the looked beautiful. Next to them was another vase filled with bright blue hydrangeas. He chuckled. They were exactly the same shades as his and Karma's hair. That was definitely something Karma would do.

The presents were mostly a selection of nice foods and chocolates. Karma only had a few days to gather the stuff so it couldn't be too big. He decided he would treat the bluenette a lot more when they went away.

In addition to the chocolate, Karma had bought him the new Sonic Ninja DVD. Nagisa giggled when he saw this, being reminded of the time Korosensei flew the both of them across the Pacific to go see Sonic Ninja 2 in Hawaii.

The last present was a dress. It was the same one Kataoka wore when they had to get through a party to get to Takaoka the first time he invited them. Nagisa frowned.

"A dress?" He asked. Karma appeared to grow devil horns and his grin stretched further across his face than Korosensei's did.

"Yeah. Your old one is a bit old now, so I thought it was time for an upgrade." The redhead chuckled. Nagisa frowned. After a few seconds however, the frown grew into a smile.
