Not Everything's A Joke (Complete)

Invitation Time

- Kayano's POV -

With my sister's approval to invite a few people over, I held the five invites in my hands. Of course, Aguri needed to check over them to make sure I wasn't inviting a stranger over. And as expected, she gave me a wink when she read over Nagisa's name.

"So, you're inviting.... Okuda, Sugino, Kanzaki, Nagisa, *cough cough* future husband *cough cough,* and Karma?"

"I heard that ya' know. And yeah, are they alright?" My puppy dog eyes sure changed her answer if it wasn't already yes when she looked at me.

"Yeah, of course. Just no drinking or making out. Unless it's you and Na-"

"Okay Aguri I get it!" I took the invitations back and ran out the door with a blush on my face and a bento in hand. In no time, I reached my usual table, now containing a Karma.

They waved at me as I sat with Nagisa, leaving Karma an extra space.

"Yo, Kayano! Watcha got there?" Karma pointed to the invitations in my hands since I placed the open bento on the wooden table. Nagisa gave me a curious look as well.

I giggled with a sly look on my face. "These are invitations to my birthday party! And you two lovers are invited!" Karma looked surprised as Nagisa just realized what I said.

"Woah, happy birthday then Kayano."

"W-Wait just a sec, lovers?!?"

"Oh Nagisa, have you ever been more innocent in your life I wonder," Karma sighed. He stretched his joints and the sound hurt my ears worse than foot tapping. "So let's take a look at that paper shall we?"

He took out his and Nagisa's and laughed when he saw the cover of the one that wasn't his. He eyed me and leaned across to me, paper in my face.

"Why does Nagisa's invite have a heart next to it?" He started laughing hysterically as I snatched the paper away.

"Huh? It does?" Nagisa looked over my shoulder as I desperately tried to cover up the evidence. He turned a bit red at that sight. "Oh, well....."

"It was my sister I swear it was her!" I tried wiping the crayon-like material off, but it was stuck on like glue. Stupid Aguri! >_<

Karma rolled his eyes with doubt written on his face. "Suuuuuure, Kayano. That date you went on proves that perfectly now doesn't it?"

Flashes of what happened on that day made me recall that horrific event. Same thing with Nagisa as his eyes widened with terror and fear.

He looked up at Karma with an angry glare that Karma picked up on. "Karma, for today, can you just shut up please?" He pouted while taking the invitation out of my hands.

Nagisa probably didn't hear it over him opening up the folded paper, but Karma mumbled something I heard with ease.

"Sorry..." he looked at Sugino winning at playing soccer in the field. Even though baseball was his specialty....

'That was definitely my fault just then. Why can't I just keep my mouth shut?'

"Oh sorry Kayano. I think I'll have to be an hour late to this slumber party. I'm gonna be on a date with Matcha-chan," the bluenette answered.

I stood up as a response. "Eh?!?! But I thought we were dating!"

"And didn't that make-out session at the movie theater mean anything to you Nagisa!?"

"Eh?" I looked at Karma, who was eating strawberry Pocky while he replied so nonchalantly. "Wait wha??? My brain's confused here!"

"K-Karma!" Nagisa started blushing badly as he almost dropped his chicken and rice. "N-Nothing happened Kayano I swear!" Nagisa dug his face into his invitation for his face to recover and turn back to its original color.

"Lying Nagisa is a liarrrrr," Karma insisted. He pulled down the paper to reveal an even redder Nagisa.

"Shut up you sadist!" Nagisa took the Pocky from his mouth and chewed the other end, leaving very little hanging from his petite mouth.

Karma eyed at me, his eyes gazing upon my astonished face. He smirked his signature smile and looked at Nagisa with seductive eyes.

"Hey Nagisa, let's show this fangirl what we did at the movie theater."

"Huh? What does that mean?" He inched back as Karma inched forward, not leaving much space between them. My senses processed what Karma meant.

"Wait," I commanded. "If you said you two made out at the movie theater, then does that mean-!" My interrupted question was soon answered as Karma chewed on what little Pocky was left. His lips soon connected with the still processing bluenette.

This time, Nagisa fully dropped his bento as he tried to pry Karma's roaming hands off him.

All I know was that my fangirling senses made me faint, hearts floating from my head as my head touched the cement floor.

'What the heck did I just witness?'

- Nagisa's POV -

In time, Karma and I disconnected when I pulled at his hair. He came out with the leftover Pocky stick in his mouth.

"Delicious still, though," he gave me an 'okay' sign with his fingers along with a wink.

"Why would you do that in front of Kayano?!"

"Why wouldn't I do that in front of Kayano?" He picked up the almost dead-looking girl while glaring at me. "I mean, she was a fangirl of us, ya' know?"

I smiled at him while scratching my head. "Yeah, I guess. Hehe..."

"Jesus Christ, did you give her that fake smile?" He pointed at my not genuine smile with rage on his eyes. "What does it take for you to give this woman and actual smile?"

Admittedly, it's true...

He was right. I never really smiled at Kayano anymore ever since I started hanging out with Karma more and more. Only on our date did I actually stopped fretting over my worries.

"Well, I'm getting better at making them believable."

"That's not the issue dumbo. It's that you've been worrying about your mom and when she's coming home. You never let that cross your mind when you were with me though. I don't wanna be the only person you smile at you know?" He looked genuinely hurt at what I wasn't doing to him-

But Kayano.

Before I could apologize, he poured my bottle of water conveniently on the table onto Kayano so that she'd wake up.

"AGURI I SWEAR IF YOU POST MY OTP LIST I'M GONNA-!" She stopped screaming and looked at Karma, with strange eyes.

"Nagisa did it."

"Ehh! Don't blame it on me you jerk!"

Still don't exactly know how this party is gonna go done..... that's it really. But who do you think this Matcha-chan is? An important character perhaps? Hmmmmmm.... you won't know of course. Btw, I've got an idea for this book now. So, a hiatus for this book should be off for now. But I'm almost cetain it'll come back during the worst time. Like if I end it on Nagisa walking in on his mom finding a new husband and suddenly gets writer's block, fans would kill me. Probably through comments though. Bye bye!
