Strawberry Blond

✨[Act 3, Scene 4]✨

Honest.

Human.

Charming.

Those were words that could describe (Y/N) (L/N). Well, at least Karma Akabane could describe her that way. He never really thought about it that much, but if someone like Nagisa or Kayano asked, he would have said those words in that order.

The next morning at school, (Y/N) was handed a large cup of iced (coffee/tea).

"What is this?" She questioned.

Karma stood in front of her, holding his own cup of sugary ass coffee.

"Poison."

"Haha, very funny," She said plainly, "You really didn't have to get me anything Karma. I know you're not too keen on spending money."

"It's fine," He said with a nonchalant tone, "I don't mind. Seriously."

"You're being so nice all of a sudden?" (Y/N) raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, cut me some slack. I'm nice," Karma snickered, "I even stopped by that joint cafe-bookstore you like so much."

"Not always~" She hummed. She read the label on the cup, noticing that it listed all of the stuff she liked to add in her cafe drinks. The label had his name typed out at the top, indicating the name of the customer. In the open space of the label were words sprawled out in black marker.

"I'm sorry."

Many people had a hard time admitting their faults and apologizing. Karma was one of those people.

Karma had an odd way of apologizing. In fact, it was hard to even get him to seriously apologize. However, he does know when its time to admit his fault, especially when its slapped right into his face. In truth, he wasn't expecting Kyo or Seiji to call him out, but they were right. It had been too early to make such a joke, and he felt bad for having said it in the first place. He genuinely apologized through words and while (Y/N) did say that it was fine...

It was not fine, and she only said it to cut the conversation immediately.

The redhead bit the inside of his cheek as he watched her read the label. (Y/N)'s eyes widened, but then lit up.

"You know, I was hoping you wouldn't see that until later when I'm not here," He admitted with a sigh.

Actions spoke louder than words. And while buying her a cafe drink had nothing much related to insulting her "dateability," it did mean that he would have done many things to get her to forgive him for a minimal insult.

(Y/N) knew this and she was grateful to have him as a genuine friend. She took a sip, nodding after tasting the appealing flavor.

"Thanks, Karma..."

That was her saying she forgave him.

"...Thank you, (Y/N)."

"Good morning, (L/N)."

(Y/N) walks into the student council room, holding her cup of iced (coffee/tea). Waiting in the council room was Gakushu, Ren, and the bespectacled Araki. Gakushu was the first to greet her and typed away at this laptop. Ren read a book, while Araki was folding some boxes together.

"Morning, guys," She greeted, "What's the plan for today?"

"Well, Koyama and I were able to get some boxes for the daycare donations. We just need to get the word out and set out the boxes in different parts of the school," Araki stated.
