"make karma stay the night, [ name ]!" begged your auntie, repeatedly tapping your shoulder while you slide your foot in your shoes. "it's probably so lonely back at his house! don't you think so?"

"i have a mild feeling that sooner or later you'll be asking him to live with us." you said, standing up from the gakuen, turning to your auntie who still has a pleading look on her face, her finger intertwined together.

"if i could, i would. ever since you've bought him here, you seem to be more joyful than ever." your auntie says, a smile forming her lips. "i'd love to thank him."

after moving in with your auntie and cutting off contact with your family back at your hometown, you have been mentally improving yourself. and all the thanks falls on your auntie because she played a huge role on your improvement and yet she still thinks what she does isn't enough and that the cause of your improvement is the people you've surrounded yourself with.

you never got to tell her that she was the only reason.

"he'd probably thank you instead." you said, twisting the main door's doorknob before walking out, leaving your auntie confuse with your last statement.

"hey! be sure to bring him home!"

karma raises his brows at the sight of you handing him a well wrapped bento that your auntie had instructed you to give it to him. "what's that for?" he asks.

"you never really eat breakfast, do you?" you ask, shoving the bento against his chest, earning an audible grunt from him "i mentioned it to auntie once. she never forgot about it and kept on pestering me."

karma grew rather quiet. having someone care and pour concern for him aside from himself is such an innovative change in his routine.

he doesn't know the term, but he knows the feeling.

and meeting you makes him feel at home.

"oh, it's gakushuu." you suddenly said, glancing over his shoulder to see gakushuu walking to your direction. "saying his name always sounded so odd. ga..kushuu.."

karma snaps his fingers. "that's sounds cute. shuu." he said.

gakushuu looks up from his pocket book, his brows furrowing at the sight of you and karma standing in front of him with wide grins completely visible on your lips.

"well if it isn't class-e." he says, shutting his book close. "what a morning start."

"good morning, shuu!" you gleefully greeted. hearing the nickname got gakushuu shoot you and sharp snd confuse glare.

"what?" he asks in an annoyed tone.

"what? don't like your cute nickname? i'm the one who came up with it." teasingly said karma. "shuu."

"no wonder why it sounds so stupid." gakushu spat out.
