Why me? (Karma x Nagisa)

Bullies

Nagisa checked his phone while running. Shit, I'm 20 minutes late. She'll be so mad. He ran as fast as he could, but Nagisa knew the punishment wouldn't get any better.

"I-I'm home..." Nagisa practically whispered. He walked into the kitchen, but immediately regretted it. Because there his mother sat, a very angry expression on her face. "Nagisa, you know I hate it when you come home late. So, what's your excuse this time?" She smiled menacingly. "W-Well actually, I met someone who said he could tutor me!" Nagisa blurted out. "Oh? Tutor you? Who, in their right mind, would possibly want to tutor you?" Nagisa wanted to frown, but he didn't, knowing his mom would get mad. "He's really nice. And he has good grades!" His mother's face lightened a bit at the mention of good grades.

"Okay. I have a proposal. You go to this guy and get tutored until the midterms. If you get a passing grade on every test, I'll let you off the hook. If not, well, I think you already know."

It wasn't a proposal, it was an 'if you don't accept, I'll kill you'. "Thankyou!" Nagisa smiled and his mother, very unexpectedly, patted his head. "Be home everyday for dinner. Now, go do your homework."

Nagisa almost went to school skipping because of the excitement. His mother hadn't baked pancakes, but she was in a good mood as well. Finally, something to look forward to after school! He didn't really know why he was so happy. Maybe because I'll have a change of pace? Or maybe because someone is willing to tutor me? He didn't get it, and then a thought popped up. Maybe it's Karma? Nagisa blushed and quickly put that thought away.

-After school, in the courtyard-

The bullies, again. "Hey girlie, why are you so happy?" "Oooh! Maybe she got a boyfriend!" "Nah, nobody would be interested in someone like her, haha!" Nagisa somehow found the courage to talk back. "And what if I did?" He was stunned more than the bullies, but their faces turned dark right after. "Since when do little girls talk back to us?" "Why don't we punish her, huh?" Snickers could be heard from the entire group. They closed in on Nagisa. He regretted ever saying anything. He shouldn't have opened his big mouth. Now he was going to pay for it.

A/N there will be beating up, if you're not comfortable reading this, skip until you see 🫦 (I couldn't decide which emoji, so you get this one, hehe)

Two pinned him against the wall, one kicked him in the crotch. Nagisa fell to the floor and another punched him in the stomach. He rolled up to a ball holding his stomach and coughing.

The group laughed at his sorry state, but soon continued. Nagisa was stomped on in various places, someone pulled his long hair and it fell out of the two ponytails he had made this morning. Someone punched his face and another kicked his legs over and over. Nagisa started to tear up. No! I can't cry in front of them, this will only get worse... But the pain was too much for the fragile boy. Tears started to fall and, as he expected, the bullies started wheezing. "Hahahahhaha! We beat her so much she's crying!" "Awwww, does it hurt, wittle girl?"

🫦

This continued for about 15 minutes. It might seem like a short time, but when they left, Nagisa could barely walk.

He was on his way home when, not to his surprise, Karma showed up in front of him. He wasn't looking at Nagisa, though, so he didn't notice what the poor boy looked like. "So, did your mother say yes?" He casually asked before looking at Nagisa and gasping. "What happened?! Uh, let's sit on that bench over there!" He didn't let Nagisa reply, because Karma picked him up bridal style and sat him down on the bench. He crouched down in front of Nagisa expectantly and worried.
