feel the tension

(Karma)

My house is empty over the weekend. My parents are on trip and it's boring in that giant house.

Maybe I could invite Nagisa-kun there, and maybe..

'Nagisa-kun.' I called to him when he was eating. He looked so cute focusing on his food.

'Eh! Karma-kun!' He jumped a little. Heh, such a cutie..

'Are you—' I got cut off by Kayano before I could say anything.

'Nagisaaaa-kunn!!' She called.

Nagisa-kun turned his head around. 'Ah, Kayano, hello.' He said. Kayano looked at me and gave me a disgusted look, before turning back to Nagisa-kun.

She smirked and said, 'Nagisaaa-kun! Are you free over the weekend!!! You should comeover and we could have a sleepoverrr!!'

I was shocked. What. No. She stole my chance.. if only I had been one step faster, and spoke up when she interrupted me.. GOD DAMN IT NAGISA-KUN...!

Nagisa-kun looked puzzled. 'Your house isn't big, you said that some time ago. Are you sure you have an extra bed?'

Kayano blushed and gave a giggle. 'Oh Nagisa-kun! We could sleep in the same bed!'

Nagisa-kun's face darkened. 'I'm sorry, but I don't wanna go if it's like that. As long as you have an extra mattress though, I can go.'

I was screaming on the inside but glad Nagisa-kun said that.

Kayano pouted. 'Nagisa-kunn! You're no fun! Okie then! See you at 2 the next day afternoon\~\~'

And with that she walked away.

Nagisa-kun turned back to face me. 'Karma-kun, what were you trying to say?' I swallowed hard.

'Uhm, nothing.' I'm such a coward.

The following week I decided to ask Nagisa-kun again.

'Karma-kun!' He walked in the classroom and greeted me. I smiled back.

'Such a long weekend! I have nothing to do this week.' He started.

'Me neither. Hey Nagisa-kun,' Here I go. 'Are you free this weekend? Since we both have nothing to do, why not come over to my place, we could hang.'

Nagisa-kun looked more relieved than shocked. He grinned and replied way to quickly, 'Sure.'

I felt like a grey cloud had just been lifted up from my mind.

The next day (Saturday), I arrived at Karma-kun's given location. I looked up. His house is hella big.. at least I will surely get a bed.

'Nagisa-kun, what are you looking at?' A voice came from in front. The door opened and showed Karma-kun standing there.

Karma-kun walked me to his room. His room is huge.. he ordered a maid to take a mattress. Wait. His house is so big and yet we're sleeping in the same room!!!

'Karma-kun... I.. uhm.. forgot to bring my pjs.' Karma-kun looked at me. 'That's ok. You can wear mine.'

As night fell, we were still chatting away, like we once did. We caught up on each other's current condition and was time to sleep. I snuggled up the soft mattress.

Karma-kun called out my name in the pitch dark room. 'Nagisa-kun.'

I replied, 'Yea?'.

'Wanna watch a movie?' 'Oh, y-yea. Sure.' I stuttered didn't I.

(Karma)

I have never been so close to Nagisa before. I wrapped my arm around his small figure.

Midway through the movie, Nagisa-kun fell asleep. His head was in my chest, and I couldn't help but stroke his hair. 'Nagisa-kun..' I whispered. 'I'll stay with you forever.. even if you hate me.'

I motioned to kiss his forehead.

Maybe I was a little to hesitant, and took too long, because Nagisa-kun's eyes opened when my lips were just a few millimetres away from him.

'Karma-kun? What are you..'
