Just the Two of Us (Karma x Nagisa)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Karma arrived at school only to ditch class again. He told Karasuma that Nagisa was just recovering and wouldn't like any visitors.

After that, he would leave to go home.

Once he arrived, he would immediately check on the patient. Nagisa was lying in the middle on Karma's bed, making him look smaller than he truly was. He got a cold from the distance to his house back to Karma's since his body was so weak. He had a thermo in his mouth and a cooling pad on his head. His injuries were healing slowly, and the sparkle in his eye was returning.

Karma would make him eat four times a day. He heard everything about what happened, and although that made him furious, he was in no position to get mad at a sick person.

So instead he only glared and growled, taking him back with a sour look.

Nagisa didn't mind the food, but he had always had a small appetite. Karma would force him to eat a little more, to regain his lost strength. He felt like he had come close to puking multiple times.

Nagisa realized that Karma played nurse really well. He knew what to do and how to do it, no matter how much Nagisa struggled to disagree.

So here he was, his body covered in bandages, his cheeks pale and his nose rosy from the cold, and his eyes droopy.

Karma came in, checking the bandages and the thermo in his mouth. "Wow Nagisa, you really went all out," was all he could mutter.

In any situation, Nagisa would have blushed and yelled, "It's not like I had a choice!" But instead he only nodded, feeling too tired to put a string of words together.

Karma smirked, popping the thermo out of his mouth and replacing the cooling pad. He drew up the sheets to his bed, covering Nagisa from shoulder to toe. He leaned in, kissing the blunettes forehead affectionately.

"You can sleep."

Nagisa gave out a small smile, closing his eyes as he saw Karma turn around and flick off the lights.

~~~

Nagisa awoke from his slumber, to find out he slept the whole day yesterday. Karma had left a tray and some food on it, with a glass of orange juice. He smiled, the twinkle in his eyes finally back.

The sleep did him wonders, even though his body felt sore and somewhat bruised, he felt some of his strength return.

He was given new bandages. Karma probably changed them over night. And his cold seemed to disappear.

He gulped down the orange juice, chewing his food very rapidly since he felt like he hadn't eaten in days.

Karma came into the room with a yawn, stretching his arms before wincing and rubbing his neck. "Damn couch," he murmured as he stared at Nagisa. He gave him a small smile, before leaning against the doorway. "Well look who's up."

Nagisa froze from eating his food, slowly shifting his gaze to Karma. "Hehe... good morning?"

Like always, Karma asked him if he felt any different.

"My cold is gone, I think. And I'm actually doing a lot better, I feel more stronger than last time." Karma nodded, checking his forehead to make sure.

"You're right about the cold."

Nagisa smiled happily. Karma could also tell my the color of his cheeks. They had that usual red tint to them.

Nagsua suddenly frowned, remembering what Karma said when he first came into the room.

"Karma, did you sleep on the couch?"

He scratched his neck. "Yeah, sorta."

Nagisa immediately moved over a bit, patting the side so Karma could sit.

He gladly took it, sliding into bed besides Nagisa. The blunette rested his head on Karma's arm, curling into a ball by his side.

"The bed is ashamed of you, you cheated on it."

Karma laughed, hearing Nagisa's nonsense was probably what he missed most. Nagisa popped his head up, looking at Karma directly in the eyes.

"I'm serious! Only I'm allowed to sleep on the couch, because the couch likes me."

Karma continued to laugh. "And- h-how do- you- k-know?"

Nagisa puffed out his cheeks. "Because when I first got here, it called out to me. Remember? You were like, nah you're sleeping in my bed, and I was like nooooo the couch likes meeee."

If possible, Karma laughed harder, his chest hurting.

Nagisa smiled, watching his lover laugh at his rant about the couch.

He missed these moments.

Once Karma has calmed down, Nagisa placed his head back in its place, Karma smiling softly as he saw Nagisa's eyes droop. "I'm tired."

Karma grabbed his chin softly, then moving to his hair. "Then sleep."

It wasn't long until the two were asleep together.

~~~

A few days past and the smaller the injuries were, the quicker they healed. Nagisa was slowly loosing bandages since he didn't need them anymore, and the only real injury was his head injury and a back injury.

Karma had some numbing cream he would always put on it, since he told the small boy that it would hurt like hell if he didn't.

The back injuries were pretty severe, so it took an extra long time for them to heal. Karma still played nurse, and Nagisa was still his patient.

The only difference was that Karma started to let him eat three times a day and he would now sleep with the patient.

He wasn't too excited to let the blunette go back to school. He knew that while he was gone, a lot of assassination attempts had been made and done, and he didn't want him to participate in something so dangerous, even after he just healed.

He only wished that no one would do anything when he got back, like a normal day of class. He smirked bitterly to himself.

Since when has he ever wanted that? He loved how his class was different from other classes. But no, this wasn't about him. This was about Nagisa, and whether he'd be okay or not.

He quickly made his and Nagisa's lunch, bringing it to his side and walked to the living room to eat.

Even if he did want to eat by Nagisa's side, He needed to think to himself.

He realized what he did and smirked.

"You're breaking rule number two, and we broke rule number one multiple of times," he yelled.

He heard Nagisa choke, coughing up the water. "WHAAAAAT?!"

Yep. Good old Nagisa.
