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

Period 11: Shattered

'Nagisa-kun?' Karma broke the silence between the two teenagers with oddly coloured hair, who were lying down on the same bed, staring up at the ceiling, both deep in thought. 

The blunette hummed in response to show that she was listening. 'Should I address you as Nagisa-chan, now?'

'I guess not.' The shorter assassin huffed after a moment of thought. 'I've grown to like "Nagisa-kun".'

There was another short moment of silence. 'How's your wound?'

'Nearly tore a stitch before, but it's fine now.' Nagisa responded, her voice coming out breathy and tired.

'That was a lot of information to take in. I think their undeveloped minds won't be able to take it.' Karma chuckled. 'Man, you've gone through some things.'

'Do you hate me?'

'..... What?'

'Do you hate me?'

'I heard you the first time.' Karma frowned. 'Why would you think I'd hate you?'

'You liked me as a boy, so you're gay. I'm not, and I'm a girl.' Nagisa sighed. 'Why wouldn't you hate me?' 

Karma laughed, actually genuinely laughing at the blunette's words, which surprised Nagisa a little. 'Yeah, I was kinda confused about my sexuality for a while there.'

'It doesn't really matter if I'm straight or gay now, does it?' Karma rolled to lay on his side, facing Nagisa, who refused to look back at him, partly because of her injury, but mostly because she couldn't stand to. 'It doesn't to me, so you can stop worrying. You've got a million other things to worry about, but this, I can't allow this to be one of them.'

The blunette glanced at the redhead, immediately flushing a light pink, turning her head away in response as she saw his smile. 'W-what's with you, today? You're not usually like this.'

'Come to think of it, you've been acting very weird lately.' Nagisa frowned at the thought. 'Helping me with cleaning the rooms is definitely not something that you'd do. It's more of something Gakushuu would d-'

'Don't bring him up!' Karma interrupted, face a little red as he pouted a little. The action took Nagisa by surprise as she figured he was probably blushing from the embarrassment. He had never done something like that before. 'I just did because I wanted to, alright?'

'Could you help me with doing the laundry tomorrow too?' Nagisa smiled fondly at the redhead. 'There are some curtains we need to wash, along with some bloodstained dresses to clean.'

Karma smiled back at the blunette, replying with a small laugh. 'I've never really done laundry before. You're going to have to teach me.'

'Sure.' Nagisa turned her head to face the ceiling once again, with Karma doing the same. 'You're a quick learner anyways. So it'd be no problem.'

The comfortable silence was back again, lasting a little longer than before.

'Nagisa-kun....' the blue haired assassin hummed in response to show that she was listening. 'I love you. You know that, right?'

She blushed at the question, turning to glare at the smiling redhead, huffing before turning back to face the ceiling. 'Yeah. You two aren't really very subtle with it.'

'Told you not to mention him.' The redhead muttered under his breath as he crossed his arms. 'You, on the other hand, are too subtle about it.'
