The Serpent Inside (A Karmagisa Fanfiction)

11: Sleepover

"LET'S GO!!!!!" 

Irina took Nagisa by the wrist and dragged him from the house, Karasuma and Karma chuckling fondly over their lovers reactions.

"Oka-san you're going to pull my hand off!"

"Oops! Sorry Nagisa!" She let go of her son's hand before looking back at her husband and eventual son-in-law. "Well? What are you waiting for!"

The two responded similarly by muttering some form of "I'm coming" before stepping away from the large house and entering the car, Irina and Karasuma in the front (Karasuma driving, of course), and Karma and Nagisa in the back.

"So, you have to tell us all about the two years you were away!" Irina exclaimed after they all made it back to her house.

This peaked Karma's own interest, as he had never asked about what Nagisa had been through for the years he hadn't seen him.

"It's not that interesting." Nagisa rubbed the back of his neck, pressing the nail into the skin. Karma had picked up on that as a nervous habit of his lover, although normally he was much more discreet about it.

"It can't be boring, Nagisa! You were an assassin!" Karma piped up, flashing his best puppy eyes and hoping for the best (he even went as far as to throw in a pout for good measure).

"Well I guess I can tell you some things."

"Yay!" Lover and Mother exclaimed, eagerly awaiting the story.

"As you know it started with just a week or two, and in the beginning we didn't do much assassination actually. We actually wen't camping once." Nagisa laughed at the memory. "That's when I decided that since I was going to be seeing the Second Reaper a lot more, and I sure as anything wasn't calling him Master, he needed a name. I told him this and he actually let me pick, although he did state he could veto anything stupid. I decided on Silver after his hair color. He was fine with it, so he became Silver-sensei. A few trips after that, we ended up doing real jobs and in the beginning he would come with me, but he always had me deal the final blow. When I left with him for good, he let me have a name of my own and I started getting my own requests." Nagisa weaved his tale.

"What name did you choose?" Irina asked.

"I chose Blue Krait since it's my snake type." He answered.

"So you were Blue Krait? I heard some coworkers at the Ministry speaking of how you killed three high level assassins in one night." Karasuma joined in on the conversation after patiently allowing his wife to chat with his son.

Nagisa smiled. "Yeah, we found out that three assassins had all be hired on the same job, so Silver-sensei told me to kill them as a test. I succeeded, obviously."

"I see. So you learned more about your snake half then?" Karasuma asked. Nagisa nodded.

"Yeah, I learned how to control my venom and that I had a second type as well. I also learned how to activate my heat-seeking vision at will, and I also learned how to cope with my slight cold-blooded-ness. It's not much, I just can't take harsh temperatures as well as normal people, but I have the acting skills to make up for it."

"That makes sense, seeing as you are only half snake, you only have half of the animalistic repercussions."

"Yeah. I also found out the drug used on me was actually supposed to fully turn me into an animal, but it was only a prototype and I killed the man who made it, along with destroying all of his research. Lucky for me I was the only human test subject."

Nagisa yawned as he spoke, which caused Karma to instantly wrap his arms around Nagisa and pull the smaller teen into his lap in a position where Nagisa could hear Karma's heartbeat.

The steady sound quickly lulled Nagisa into a light sleep as he went limp in Karma's arms.

"It is getting late..." Karasuma whispered as he looked at the clock on the wall.

"Come on Karma, I'll show you to the room you two can sleep in." Irina smiled as she kissed her son on his forehead and lead the two to the guest room.

"Thank's Irina." Karma smiled as she bid him goodnight and shut the door.

Karma placed the still-sleeping Nagisa into the bed before changing into the pajama's he'd brought and changing Nagisa's clothes, all the while being very confused at how hard of a sleeper Nagisa was being as usually he would wake up if anything moved him or made a sound.

Karma was too tired to think on it more, so he just slipped into the bed beside his beloved and fell asleep himself.
