Flirt (Hiroto Maehara X Reader)

Outcome Time

A/n
Hello, and thank you for 9.1k+ reads and 335+ votes! Also, a special thanks to VentisCecelia for voting! I currently have six chapters left to write, and I have to say, I'm really running out of ideas for Maehara. I feel so bad about it, too, but I'm just so excited to start writing for Isogai. That means I need to finish Maehara's, though. It also doesn't help that these last few episodes were my least favorite to write with Itona and Karma, and likely for any Assassination Classroom fic I will ever do. Also, I'm sorry because this chapter is mostly Nagisa and Karma beating each other up. Anyways, here's today's chapter :)

"What in the world..?" I whisper, looking around to see that Nakamura, Terasaka, Muramatsu, and Yoshida were all hit as well.

"A-An attack from behind at point-blank range?" Nakamura stutters. Then my eyes fall on our assailant: Nagisa. I spot Mr.Karasuma on the ledge above us. Wait, was he hiding behind him the whole time?! Karma stands in the opposite direction, making eye contact with him. So it's down to the two of them, anyways. Karma's eyes narrow.

"That's why I was so tense—because he always pulls stunts like that." He stands up with a smile, flipping the anti-sensei knife in his hand. "Anyway, now it's one-on-one. Let's finish this, Nagisa." With that, me and my former group exchange glances before quickly heading the the rendezvous platform with the rest of them class.

"Thank goodness you're here!" Okano exclaims, grabbing me by the shoulders. "Make him shut up!"

"Huh?" I say, my eyes wide in confusion.

"She means Maehara. He hasn't stopped talking about how 'awesome' you are since he got here." Kataoka clarifies with an amused smile.

"I mean, yeah I was a little sad to get eliminated and everything, but she was all like..." Maehara mimics my stance as he tells him story. "And then she blew me a kiss."

"I know. I was there." Isogai says with a sheepish smile as he pats his friends' shoulder.

"Hey..." I say, announcing my arrival.

"(Y/n)!" He cheers, appearing at my side in an instant. "I didn't even know you were there until you shot me!"

"Thanks, I think? You're really enthusiastic about this." I laugh. He throws his arm over my shoulders. "You were cool when you got Itona out, too."

"Do you really think so?" He beams.

"Mhm." I hum in response.

"So now it's down to Nagisa and Karma." Sugino comments.

"Pretty gutsy of Nagisa to hide behind Karasuma like that." Ms.Bitch says, confirming my earlier suspicions.

"The referee is the one with the least presence in the players' eyes." Korosensei points out. "Nagisa zeroed in on that, blended in with the referee—and waited until the moment when he could score the most kills. He has the instincts of a natural-born killer!" Korosensei explains before moving on. "And what about Karma? If we compare them on the basis of regular school grades, he's got Nagisa beat on all counts. But he must have realized by now: when they're facing off in this assassination classroom, Karma's greatest foe is Nagisa." Yeah. And logically speaking, right now Nagisa has the higher odds of winning.

Below us, Karma had wandered out into the very middle of the field whereas Nagisa had fled back into hiding. Suddenly, Karma smiles, spreading his arms out.

"Nagisa! Put down the gun and come out! We'll settle it with these!" Karma announces, holding out his knife, the blade covered in red paint. Nagisa would be stupid to not take the shot. However... Something tells me he's not going to.
