Chapter Text
Nagisa awoke a few hours later, "How do I tell him about what happened last night?" he mentally shouted, blushing furiously, he promised he wouldn't chicken out of confessing to him but now that he's totally sober, he has realized he has no idea how. He took a glance at the sleeping ginger, and sighed in relief when he didn't seem shaken by Nagisa's abrupt awokening. "I have to ask someone for help on this..." he mumbled, reaching for his phone to call a certain woman.
"This better be important Nagisa-kun..." the actress muttered, Nagisa can just feel the venom seeping through the phone.
"Ah-- sorry Kayano-chan, I just really need help with something right now..." the blunet sighed, whispering, hoping not wake up the man sleeping next to him.
He heard the woman sigh, "I could never deny you anything Nagisa-kun, what is it?"
"Hypothetically speaking... how would you confess to this close friend of yours that you know is as madly in love with you as you are with him?" he blushed, hoping he didn't sound too embarrassing.
He heard giggling, "So you're finally putting Karma's feelings into consideration? I thought you'd never,"
Nagisa groaned, grabbing the pillow to create less sounds; "Was I the only one who didn't know?"
"In all fairness, Karma doesn't know you like him either..." she shifts her position, "No one really knew about your feelings, except Sugino and I"
"Losing him wasn't really part of my high school goals yanno" he pouted,
"Just tell him Nagisa, he loves you and you love him, are we really going to have another 10 years of both of you pining for each other?" she said, finality in her voice.
"I suppose," he sighed but smiled, "I'll tell him. No running away this time."
"Atta boy! Once you do, we're going out to talk about it okay?" she giggled,
"For sure." he agreed, tapping the end button.
An hour later,
Karma groaned, the light hitting his face, "Close the damn blinds..." he groaned out. He heard a chuckle, "Someone slept on the wrong side of the bed..." his eyes shot open, sitting up almost immediately. "Nagisa..." he breathed out like he couldn't believe that he was still there. "Karma, a problem?" he had asked; Karma breathed out. 'Calm yourself Akabane, this isn't the first time you woke up with him...' he then curved his lips into his signature smirk, "Morning Nagisa~ You're up early, wasn't trying to leave me at the altar weren't you?" he teased, Nagisa coughed out to hide his blush, "Anyway Karma... there's something I'd like to tell you..."
That got Karma's full attention, as the red-head stared at him, void of his normal smirk or grin. 'Dammit, keep it together Nagisa, he already said that he loved you, you can do this.' "I just wanna start this by saying that I wasn't really that drunk last night-- and I wasn't really asleep" he muttered, keeping his eyes closed, hoping he wasn't really that angry at that confession, opening one eye, he was relieved-- okay, more than anything he was freaking out. Karma's face showed no change, no reaction whatsover.
'fuck.Fuck.FUck.FUCk.FUCK!!' Karma was internally screaming, this is the worst day of his life. 'Nagisa probably doesn't even wanna be friends anymore, I'm dead, he's probably so disgusted by me.'
Nagisa became a bit worried at his friend's reaction--or lack thereof, "Uh... Karma? I'm trying to say something here... could you pay attention?" he frowned, he could feel his confidence fading away, he had to get this over with as soon as possible. Karma still wasn't paying attention at all. Nagisa frowned again, 'Screw the perfect confession!' he thought. "Karma Akabane, I LOVE YOU!" He exclaimed.
Well that got the red-head's attention and now Nagisa wished he didn't just shout it out. "You-- you what?" Karma stuttered, Nagisa blushed, looking away, "Uhm... I-- last night-- I heard your... confession and well-- I---" Nagisa looked up, "I love you too!"
'Hey Akabane, did you hear that?' 'Yes, I heard that. I'm not deaf.' Karma squirmed out and went near the blue-haired boy, "Ah-- Karma? What are you doing?" Nagisa asked, backing away from the red-head's piercing gaze.
What Nagisa didn't expect was an embrace from the taller one. "I love you," he mumbled onto his shoulder, "I love you so much," Karma repeated and repeated, Nagisa smiled, finding the ordeal very endearing, he caressed the nape of the taller one's head. "I love you too Karma,". Karma pulled away for a moment, gazing lovingly into Nagisa's eyes, the latter blushed at the love in his partner's eyes. "I just realized something," he started, Nagisa smiled, "What is it?" he asked,
"If you wanted to kiss me, you'd have to stand on your tiptoes." the devilish grin was back and so was the vein that popped on Nagisa's head. "You sure know how to wreck the atmos--" and like most love stories, silenced with a kiss. "Ha. You fell in love with me too, you gotta deal with this mood-breaker for the rest of your life." he teased, Nagisa blushed, from the kiss and the subtle proposal, or was it just him?
"I have my entire life to practice dealing with you."
