Just the Two of Us (Karma x Nagisa)

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

"Nagisa!" That was the only thing Nagisa heard before literally all of his classmates ran him over. He yelped, slipping and completely missing Karma's chest to catch his fall, as he fell on his already sensitive ass as many classmates piled onto him. It almost reminded him of those soccer players or football players, or something, all piling on each other as a sign of affection and happiness.

But Nagisa wasn't feeling the happiness. His legs lost their feeling eventually, and the pricks like needles being stabbed forcefully in his legs were becoming more painful and weirder by the second. Some of his classmates were crying, some were smiling, and some were very confused. The ones that were confused were probably being pulled into this without consent. You know, like Itona.

Nagisa has never seen a more lost boy.

Karma smiled a bit, moving to his seat. Nagisa watched him retreat from the scene. He gawked at the taller boy, sending a look that said, how dare you not try to help me? I'm being assaulted, your boyfriend is literally being crushed under his classmates. Not only am I offended even more now, but I feel betrayal.

It took some wiggling, but he finally made it out of the messy pile of limbs and skin. He silently thanked his height.

Kayano was the second one to get out of the mob, patting down her hair. "I can't believe you came back! What happened? Where the hell were you?!" And soon, Nagisa's worst fear came true. His class untangled themselves from each other. Their heights intimidated the blunette, and he suddenly cursed his height. Everyone stared down, waiting for a legitimate story. Even Itona was a bit curious, even though he was roped in.

Nagisa opened his mouth, then closed it. He couldn't speak. It was happening too fast. He couldn't think.

"Guys, leave him alone. He really can't even breathe with you guys harassing him, and then asking questions like the police. Give him space." Karma's voice sliced through the thick air. And just like that, everyone backed up and walked away, muttering apologies and bowing their heads in shame. Nagisa waved them off nervously, laughing slightly at how everyone seemed more careful around him.

Leave it to Karma to intimidate the class more than they could.

Nagisa met eyes with his savior. The red head had on a goofy smile, his eyes answered Nagisa's, which said, I'd never leave you with these buffoons even on my worst day. The blunette nodded in thanks, taking his seat quickly.

With little chatter in the room, a yellow octopus arrived. He smiled at Nagisa, glad to see he was back. He wasn't too surprised, since Karma had called just the other day to inform him and Karasuma that Nagisa would be returning.

"Nagisa! Glad to see you joined class today." Not once did he seem to ask about his absence, which let Nagisa mentally relax. Koro-sensei was at least polite enough to not deserve answers as quickly as his class, although it was touching that they cared so much.

He nodded, giving a signature smile to his teacher. "It's good to be back."

Koro-sensei, satisfied with his answer, proceeded with his lesson like nothing was different.

With a small sigh, the small assassin glanced out the window. He'd stared at this window so much, but it had been a while. Weeks? Time sure flew.

Once upon a time, he would be bored. The view was always the same, always staring out of the clearing where they had PE with Karasuma, with the forest on the outskirts and on the opposite side, the entrance and exit to the mountain where the End Class trekked their way back to or from school.

It was nostalgic, and Nagisa found himself studying the environment, taking interest in every crevice. He never was this attracted to it.

It suddenly wasn't so boring.
