Chain Reaction (Karmagisa) [ON HOLD]

2.9|Homecoming

*Nagisa's POV*

"Na... gisa..."

His eyes rolled to the back of his head, his eyelids slowly closing. He collapsed once more on his side.

I didn't have any combination of words to accurately explain how I felt. A dam of tears released over my features, both tears I've bottled up from my life, and now his.

I couldn't stand to see him like this.

... I felt so broken.

I was panicking, yet not doing anything for a few minutes.

What happened? Is he okay?

...IS HE OKAY!?!?

I snapped back to my senses, almost yelping as I pulled him to sit up. I was... so small compared to him, but you could obviously tell he hadn't been taking care of himself.

He was much thinner... It's like he didn't have any meat anymore. Laying here in my arms, he looked so fragile... That was a sight I was sure I'd never see.

He looked so weak...

So... vulnerable.

Soon, Karma had both tears of his and tears of mine decorating his features. I slowly brought a finger up to his neck, checking if there was a pulse.

If there was none, I'd surely die myself, out of sadness... but there was. It was faint, but there was. I smiled a little, the smile faltering from my sudden little outburst.

Positioning myself on my knees, I stood up and tried to bring Karma up with me. It was way too easy to raise him, he lost a lot of weight...

When was the last time you ate?

I sighed, my hands positioned under his forearms to bring the guy to his feet. One arm slid around his torso to his back, the other fitting in the space behind his knees. I lifted him up that way because I knew how it felt to he thrown over someone's shoulder. Being in his condition, it'd hurt much more than it did to me.

What? I'm not a weakling... And I know Karma better than anyone else...

Seeing Karma's phone further away on the bench, I sighed, cursing silently. He's the only one with that phone case, since he has--or used to have--this crazy way to get whatever he wants. It showed the main cast to his favourite anime/game, although he claimed to like the game more. It was Tales of Symphonia, I believe. I couldn't remember, the title was written in a different language.

I walked over and retrieved the phone, with much difficulty, but I did it. I set it on the sleeping Karma's stomach, taking a little glance at his expression. He looked so peaceful... I smiled. Then I frowed. I had to stop wasting so much time and bring him home!

... Whose home...?

...

His home!

People are never at his home, so his home!

I began to march my way down the street.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

... Dang it.

I was already panting; why did he have to live so far away??? Well, we walk home together sometimes, so we don't live that far... I guess I was just already tired... I groaned, picking up my pace a little bit.

I turned the corner, realising the city was oddly unoccupied. It felt really strange, just a huge lack of inactivity. The redhead I held shifted a bit, nuzzling against my chest while my face grew a bit warm. I could feel the blush threatening to completely seize my facial regions if I continued to stare, so I looked up.

If I said he looked cute, I'd be lying.

... But if I said he didn't look cute, I'd be lying, too...

...

... What was I thinking...!? There were better things to do than stand here and debate on whether I should k-- I mean, on whether he looks cute or not...

After a few more minutes dragging myself along with him, I saw his apartment complex come into view, and wasn't too pleased at what I saw.

...

Stairs.

... Welp.

I stood him up against a nearby brick wall, sliding my hands in his front pockets and getting his keys.

Uhm...

... Not awkward at all.

There was an anime character on his keychain. Looking closer, I didn't recognise the character. He was a tan boy, with a light blonde and messy hair style. There seemed to be a line that split in the middle of his face. The first half of him had a nervous expression, his eyes emerald. Then the other side, there was a dark shadow over sharp red orbs. He looked insane... Were they the same person? A scarlet-indigo scarf hung off from them.

I slipped the keys into my own pocket, huffing in confidence as I picked him back up to cross the last street. I could always locate Karma's apartment since he used to take me there a lot after school. Now, it was even more obvious. His door was painted a deep velvet, the colour slightly shadow-like, but still bright enough to stand out. The other doors were white.

... And it was funny, his apartment number. I'm usually not the one interested in this type of humour, but... Let's just say, it was an odd 4 digit number... The first three were all the same, the other being the first divided by two, then multiplied by itself--

I need to stop hanging around Karma.

... But I love being around him.

... But he's messing me up...

... But I think I enjoy it.

... But why the heck does his apartment have to be on the highest floor???

That's it, I need to talk to him about this. Maybe get him to convince the manager to install an elevator. Or help him convince the manager. His way of negotiating is... crazy..

... I think I like that.

...

...

...

What the heck, go away thought bubble...!! I mean, it's not like people are just going to read all of my thoughts like a book, but...

NO.

STOP, NAGISA.

At least my thoughts were enough to distract me from the dreadful experience of carrying Karma up loads of stairs. And I mean LOADS of stairs...

LOADS.

But at least I've got Karma at home. Leaning him up against my front, I took his keys out. I thought I'd better get him inside and on his bed before he wakes up. He's been flinching in his sleep, probably because of me, but he needs all the sleep he can get. I'll probably look around the kitchen and make him a meal too, since he seriously needs to eat something...

... He's growing too thin.

/A/N: HEY!! Sorry about the filler chapter!! I just wanted to lead them back home, because we all want Karma to wake up, Riiiiiight? Ja! Und we need him awake to continue the storyline
^--^ Und once again I apologise for any mistakes I make, writing isn't actually my strong suit/
