Lies and Deceit ( Karma Akabane x Reader) {Drabble}

"He set fire to the world around him, but never let a flame touch her."

"Karma?"

The tiniest of smiles crept its way onto his face. No matter how much time passed by, he didn't think he would ever be able to control that tingle he felt every time you spoke his name.

"Yes?" he purred, looking down at your form curled up and resting on your chest.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did," he teased.

"Shush. You know what I mean, Karma."

He couldn't help but chuckle. "Go ahead."

You bit the inside of your cheek, wondering if it really was a good idea to ask him or not. His pale gold hues stared expectantly into yours and you knew he wasn't going to leave you until hearing your question.

"I know I'm going to sound paranoid, but... is there something going on in Class E that I don't know about...?"

Without any sign of hesitation, Karma laughed at your question. "Something going on? I mean, it's just as boring as any other class."

"No, not the classes. I mean with the other students and that odd teacher. I've never seen you grow so close to such a large group of people before so I was just wondering if something happened-"

"What's this?" he interrupted, his voice full of playfulness. "Is my dear [name] jealous over me?"

"Wha- Karma, you know that's not what this is about."

Placing his finger under your chin, he carefully pushed your chin up and locked his lips with yours. It was a quick, yet sweet kiss; one that always reminded you why you fell in love with this red-haired boy to begin with.

"Don't worry," he whispered. "If there was anything going on, you'll always be the first person I tell."

Those countless lies he told you rolled off his tongue as easily as his own name. He had always sworn to you that you would be the only person he would never lie to, but even that promise eventually came undone the moment he was transferred into Class E. He couldn't tell you about the true circumstances unfolding within Class E; not about his classmates, not about Korosensei, nor even what his assigned job is to do.

In order to kill Korosensei, many people would get hurt. All he could do was ensure it wouldn't be you.
