First to the last period of the day - assassination (a Karmagisa fanfic )

Period 6: Camouflage

The blue haired girl shot up straight, her eyes widened as she panted heavily. She placed a hand over her left eye as she calmed her breathing, grateful her dream was just a dream, and not reality.

This little action of hers woke up a couple of the students around her. They watched her in shock as she tried her best to calm herself down, her azure eyes threatening to spill tears.

'Shiota-kun... you alright?' One of the awake boys asked her carefully.

'I'll get you some water.' Karma didn't wait for a reply from the blunette and immediately headed for the kitchen, returning with a glass of water.

Nagisa, still shocked from her nightmare, received the glass of water and gulped it down in a matter of seconds. Her breathing finally returned to normal as she handed the cup back to the redhead. 'T-thanks...'

This was the reason of her insomnia. The boys finally understood why the blunette was never willing to fall asleep.

It had happened four times already, and the boys were clueless to what to do.

They often wondered what she dreamt about, but decided she would tell them when she was ready to.

They knew Nagisa was grateful for their help, but could never express her appreciation. After all, it was best to wake up to people who cared, rather than waking up to darkness and utter loneliness.

Nagisa wasn't used to such treatment and care. She's always faced her problems on her own in the past, but now she was constantly reminded of how she wasn't alone anymore. She had friends now, friends who all cared.

'I.... I'll go start doing something productive.... maybe breakfast. You guys can go back to sleep.' Nagisa got onto her feet with a little trouble, but managed to make it towards the entrance of the room. She wasn't planning on going back to bed anytime soon.

The redhead thought about it for a while, but too, decided to help the blunette since they were already awake. 'I'll help.'

'Sure.' Nagisa replied quietly as she headed towards the kitchen.

The blunette was definitely not healthy, from disturbed sleeping patterns to impossibly small diets. The redhead was getting quite concerned about the blue haired girl, they all were.

'You've gotten better at cutting those mushrooms of yours.' Nagisa stated as she broke open some eggs into a bowl, breaking the silence between the two as well.

Karma chuckled at this. 'I've been practising.'

It was a comfortable silence at first, but Karma wasn't exactly comfortable with it despite Nagisa disagreeing.

'Those huge bags under your eyes are getting quite ridiculous. You look a lot like a panda nowadays.' He tried to start up a conversation, but the blunette only hummed in response.

The redhead sighed as he tried again. 'We're getting worried about you, you know? Even the teachers.'

Nagisa hummed again in reply.

'If you don't mind me asking, what's your nightmares about?'

The blunette stopped dead in her tracks, her arms stopped in midair as she was about to pour the beaten eggs into the frying pan.
