Be Together (KarmaxOkuda Fanfic)

Chapter 30

Third Person POV

After Manami and Karma made it home, they both decided it was best to simply get ready for bed. It had been a long and tiring day after all, and the pair still had to attend classes the next day.

Manami sat on the bed, laughing while scrolling through her group's messages. It felt nice to have things go back to normal.

"Alright, I'm done getting ready for bed so now it's time to sleep." She heard Karma say as he walked out of the restroom.

"Why did you tell them about–"

Manami stopped mid sentence upon looking up at her boyfriend approaching.

"Yes? You mean the whole drunk thing?" Karma sat on the edge of the bed and smirked teasingly. "Are you mad? You did say you were gonna make me pay, didn't you?"

However, Manami's attention wasn't on what Karma was saying.

H-He... is wearing a tank top... with sweats. Manami thought while feeling her cheeks flush. My weakness ?

"Hello? Manami?" Karma waved his hand in front of her face. "Is everything okay?"

"Y-Yes!" Manami stuttered.

Karma looked at her quizzically and began to move closer to her. "Are you sure? You look red–"

"I'm fine! Go get me some water, that's your punishment!" She yelled out nervously while hiding her face on the pillow.

"Aw man..." Sighed Karma. "I thought it would be something racier, but oh well, I'll go get you your water."

Manami kept her head buried in the pillow until she heard Karma leave downstairs to get her water bottle.

My heart is racing!! Ugh. C'mon Manami control yourself! You've seen him shirtless before so this is LITERALLY nothing.

But... just something about it–

She heard Karma begin to make his way upstairs and instantly grew nervous again.

"No wait I didn't have time to collect myself!"

"Huh?" Karma said as he peeked his head through the doorway. "What do you mean collect yourself? Are you sure you're okay?"

Why do I keep saying my thoughts out loud?!?!

"N-Nothing, sorry." Replied Manami. "I was just thinking out loud haha, you know me."

Karma walked into the room and sat at the edge of the bed.

"Alright. Spill. What's wrong. We just fixed things so I need you to tell me if something is wrong. We can't make the same mistakes again."

The short haired girl lifted her head up from the pillow and met his gaze. He looked genuinely worried.

"Ah no. I'm sorry. It really is nothing it's just..." Manami's cheeks grew redder with every word. "Your ch-choice of clothing that's all... it looks good... on you."

Karma took a quick glance at what he was wearing and let out a small chuckle. "I'm literally wearing my pjs though."

"I know! But it's just... whenever you wear that specific combo... I can't help but get nervous cause you know... you look... good."

"Haaaa..." Karma leaned closer to the small girl in front of him. "Are you turned on?"

Almost immediately Manami's blush cleared and was replaced with an annoyed expression. "You see... now the magic is gone."
