Karma x Rio

Bento

Karma's POV
It was another day in class 3-E and Korosensei was buzzing around the classroom as he was teaching. I sigh as my gaze wanders over to the window. I half-smile as I remember Rio stressing out at our tree the day before her birthday, and how her face lit up as she ate the sushi I gave her.

"Karma-kun, please answer this question. If I travel to Paris and stop at Hong Kong on the way back, how long would that take?"

"An hour, give or take the wind conditions."

"Good, Karma-kun. Now..."*voice fades away as he goes back to talking*

I sigh. I'm bored, need some action around here. I get up and announce to Korosensei that I'm going to the bathroom.

"Hai, hai. Karma-kun, take the hall pass on the way out please."

"Mk octopus."

As I walk to the main campus, I see Okuda carrying a big stack of paper to the principal's office. (btw, in this story okuda became a class representative so she's been doing a lot of work outside of the classroom)

"Oh, Okuda-san, hello." I say. "You good over there?"

"Oh! Karma-kun! Y-yeah I'm fine what about y-"

She stumbles a bit and starts to fall. The tall stack of papers starts to lean perilously to one side. Before she hits the ground, I.......catch the papers. (hehehe i'm not an okudaxkarma stan) I hear a soft thump as she falls over. Luckily, the papers are safe with no dirt on them. I hand them back to Okuda.

"Be careful, the principal wouldn't be happy if he found out you got dirt on them." A squirrel pops out of the bush behind us. I dismiss it.

"H-hai Karma-kun, thank you!"

Rio's POV
I sigh, tapping my pen on my desk. As Korosensei drones on about who knows what, I look at the clock. It's been a while since Karma left, I wonder if he's alright...well, he can protect himself if danger arrives. I feel like going outside, so I tell Korosensei that I want to go outside to stretch.

"Wait! Nakamura-san, Karma hasn't come back with the hall pass!" (poor Korosensei, nobody listens to him much)

"love u too Korosensei see u later" I walk outside and smile, seeing rays of sunlight through the trees. As I walk toward the main campus to get a drink from the vending machine there, I hear voices. One of them sounds like Karma and the other sounds like...Okuda-san? I hide near a bush and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Be careful, the principal wouldn't be happy if he found out..." I didn't hear the rest of it because a squirrel jumped out of the bush I was hiding behind, rustling the branches.

He wouldn't be happy if he found out what? What were they talking about? After Karma and Okuda seemingly go in separate directions, I slowly come out from my hiding spot. I run to the vending machine and grab a Calpico. As I make my way back up to the classroom, Karma appears behind me.

"Hi Rio, what's up? Decided to get some fresh air?"

"Yeah, it's very stuffy in there. I just needed to get outside."

"I see."

Karma's POV
I look at her face, but she's not quite looking back at me. I wonder what happened to her while she was outside.

We come back to class 3-E with 5 minutes of class left. Korosensei yells at both of us for skipping class and how we missed a lot of information. I sit back in my seat, collecting homework for that day. The bell rings. As we start to gather our belongings to leave, Rio has already gotten her stuff and dashed out. Huh, that's strange. We usually walk back together because our houses are so close to each other.
