Just the Two of Us (Karma x Nagisa)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

When Nagisa awoke again, it was mid evening. The small boy blinked a few times and sat up slowly, pulling off the warm blanket that was mysteriously placed on him.

Where am I?

"Ah. You've finally woken up." Nagisa heard a plop! and saw a taller boy with distinct red hair.

Karma?

"Care to tell me why the hell you were at my door half-dead?" Nagisa's eyes widened as he remembered.

He was thrown out by his mother, and the only logical place to go was his ex-best friends house. Nagisa remembered that Karma's parents were usually never home. They were usually on vacations around the world or something. That explained the absence of cars, but just to be sure...

"Your parents aren't home, right?" Karma's eyebrows furrowed.

"No, but what does that do to answer my question?" Nagisa's expression saddened.

"Sorry Karma, I really don't feel like explaining right now." And just like that something snapped inside Karma, his eyes softened, his posture seemed to relax, all playfulness in his eyes dissolved.

"I see. Are you okay?" Nagisa was surprised. It was like they were small kids again, when Karma showed his care. Nagisa forgot there was even this side to him.

Nagisa smiled gratefully. "I'm fine. I'll explain it as soon as I think I can. I'm really sorry." Karma gave him a wink.

"Don't be. Anyway, did you have breakfast? In your sleep, your stomach was growling. You hungry for lunch?" Nagisa gazed at a clock. Lunch at 3:15, eh?

Nagisa nodded and removed his blanket completely, standing up slowly. He knew he could trust Karma to take care of him. Karma led the way to the kitchen, a big place with expensive equipment. "What you want to eat?"

Nagisa shrugged. "Whatever you want, I'll have." Karma nodded his head and shooed him out so he could cook.

"By the way, Nagisa-kun!" Karma called from the kitchen, stopping the blunette from returning to his cozy couch. "If you want to take a shower, use the one in my room! You remember where my room is, right? You can use some of my clothes. Just go through my dresser."

Nagisa yelled back a thanks and made a bee-line for the taller boys room. Nagisa sighed in delight as he walked in, seeing nothing had changed. It was a plain room, with dark blue walls and a white queen bed with a dresser to the side and a window on the other. On the opposite side of the door, a bathroom was kept with a shower and toilet with sink.

Nagisa quickly undressed his skimpy girl clothing and hopped in. The warmth of the water relieved tension in his muscles and his long hair clung to his back.

After his shower, he wrapped a white towel around his small frame and peeked outside, just to make sure no one was in the room. When he saw no one, he stepped out, feeling the hair on the back of his neck stand.

He rummaged through Karma's clothing. It was all a size too big, but he picked out some jeans and a black v-neck shirts, Karma's usual attire.

Unfortunately, Karma didn't have anything to hold up his hair, so he opted for the 2 red ribbons that he was forced to put on that morning.

The blunette put the towel back and folded his clothes, flushing pink at how Karma must have reacted to him in girl clothing. Boy, he won't let that go.

He put them in the hamper near the sink and slowly walked out, seeing a very busy Karma in the kitchen. Nagisa would have helped him set up the plates if he already didn't do that himself.
