What The Future Holds For Us

Chapter 3: Nighttime

Kayano's POV

Nagisa and I were walking to his apartment so he could pack for a night at my place, he wanted to shower while he was there so it would only take probably 20-30 minutes. Then we would walk another few kilometers to my place.

I was really looking forward to tonight, this was going to be a very different experience for both of us, and something I've wanted to try for weeks now.

Nagisa means so much to me, and I really am in his debt for his heroics that day, so letting him stay over was the least I could do.

"We're probably only 5 minutes out, shouldn't be long before we will be there" Nagisa said, in that cheerful tone he maintains.

"So Nagisa how was school today?" I ask.

"Uhhh... I thought it was fun, economics has never been my strongest subject, but the Korosensei magic made it go well."

"Heh heh, I agree, he's a great guy."

"So Kayano, do you have any ideas on an assassination plan?"

"Well not really, the pudding and tentacles was all I really had, I'll probably just leave things in the hands of people like Isogai and Kataoka for the matter. They're much more creative than me anyway."

"You shouldn't think that way Kayano. You said it yourself, the pudding strategy was all you, and even if it didn't work, we got a glimpse of the real you. The Akari Yukimura you."

I blushed just a bit before looking downwards.

"Y-you think so Nagisa?"

"Of course I do, like I said, we saw the real you and loved you just the same. Regardless of how you see yourself, Class 3-E will always keep you in their hearts."

I was so happy hearing Nagisa say this. My heart is racing, Nagisa's words hit hard, but I loved it. I love... him?

No no no no that can't be it... right?

My emotional train of thought was interrupted as it started raining. Then it started pouring. Then it was getting to a point where we needed to run to cover. We were close enough to Nagisa's place that it was fine, but the walk back was miserable at this point, so we didn't know what to do.

"Well... we made it... come on in, we can't be out here any longer..." Nagisa said, out of breath. "I'll go get ready, and hope it clears up soon."

"Hey Nagisa..." I ask with absolutely no ease, "Can I shower here too? My clothes are soaked and I only have this on me."

Surprised, Nagisa said it was fine, he will just change clothes and wait his turn.

"Thank you so much!" I said with tons of excitement in my voice. Almost to the point it seemed weird, but whatever, neither of us seemed to think much of it.

Nagisa's POV

Kayano had just gotten in the shower, and I was changed and packing my bags for a night at Kayano's. This was certainly going to be something very different for the both of us, but Kayano wanted it, and I couldn't be a bad guest to her. Besides, talking to her about Korosensei's concerns was all that mattered in the long run.

"Nagisa!!!" Kayano shouted from the other side of the bathroom door. "I forgot to grab a towel, can you toss one over the door for me please?"

I was very surprised she asked with such confidence, but it wasn't a problem for me.

"Sure!!!" I shouted back, going to the laundry area for one. But they were all wet, since my mom had started a load before she left for the airport. Shoot, that's not good.

Luckily we always kept one or two in the bathroom for this exact event. In the bathroom, where Kayano is. Shoot, that's not good.

"Kayano!!!" I shouted. "The only towels are in the bathroom!!!". Kayano's silence worried me.

"Just quickly grab one and move it closer then!!!" She yelled from the other side.

There is a good chance I died right there, or at least wished I had. "Uhhh... Ok then!!!" I said terrified of what happens next.

I sneak in, perfectly rotating my body in a manner where my back faces the shower door, hoping it would go smoothly. I grab the towel from the bathroom closet and quickly toss it behind me, in a way to where Kayano should be fine with its location. I sprint out so fast that Korosensei would have been impressed by. Not exactly Mach 20 but it might as well have been that.

After she had finished I realized that the only change of clothes she had were in no condition to be worn at the moment. "Hey Kayano! Your clothes are still wet, what should I do!?" I shouted to her, still in the bathroom.

"I think your clothes would fit me well!" She said, with a little more doubt in her voice this time, but she was right, she and I are pretty similar in size, so it would work.

"Ok I'll get you something!" I scramble around to get her something to wear, hoping she will like it. "Ok you can come out now! When you're changed let me know so I can shower!"

"Sounds good to me!" Kayano said relieved things were working out.

Just one more issue, the rain looked like it was never going to end. The best course of action was Kayano staying over at my place. Hope this goes as well as the rest of this has gone so far... heh heh...
