Chapter Text
Nagisa woke up, he felt terrible like always, the burning sensation in his back almost made him want to scream as sweat dripped down his forehead, the tentacles were angry with him.
Mom was gone, like usual, she commonly went on business trips to different places all across the world! But when she got back, she tended to manipulate and gaslight the pained boy, the boy who wished he could disappear at this point.
Walking to the main campus, walking up the mountain, it was a pain due to the tentacles screaming at him the whole way there.
“WHY CANT YOU JUST FINISH THE JOB?”
“WHEN YOU DO YOU CAN FINALLY LIVE IN PEACE!”
“WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE? A USELESS VESSEL? OR SOMEONE WORTH SOMETHING?”
“Shut up…” he muttered to himself as the wind chilled him to his core, his body temperature was usually colder than most, the doctors never did find a reason why despite Nagisa being fully healthy, that was until he realized it was the tentacles. The tentacles. Tentacles…
“Yo, Nagisa.” A hand on his shoulder snapped him out of his inner battle with his emotions and tentacles, it was Karma, the one person he wanted to see just about now.
“Ah, Karma, you usually don’t come early, so uh… what made you come out here at this time?” Nagisa asked.
“HE CAME TO RID YOU OF YOUR PITIFUL EXISTENCE FOR SURE!”
The tentacles laughed away, they gave him a headache with how loud they were.
“Dunno, just felt like seein ya I guess.” Karma explained as he walked extremely close to Nagisa, sharing some of his body heat with the colder boy. Surely today would be better than most since Karma came early.

They arrived atop the mountain, “you’re actually coming in with me? That’s rare.” Nagisa half joked, watching as Karma smirked at him, that damn smirk, “well how could I just leave you here all alone! What a terrible boyfriend I’d be!” Karma joked around, although he wasn’t joking about the boyfriend part.
The pair had been going out since a few weeks after they met up again, the feelings they once harbored stayed, and allowed the birth of a simple relationship to flourish and grow, grow into something truly calming, something beautiful…
“Well anyways let’s go inside, it’s pretty cold out huh.” Karma said as he left Nagisa standing there, the boy catching up to him soon after.
Nagisa sat down at his desk, watching as Karma sat on top of it, “so…. Seems like we’re the only ones here right now.” Nagisa said, Karma nodding in response, the silence that followed was awkward as hell. God what Nagisa would give for class to have just started already.
“So, since we’re alone…” Karma said, leaning in towards Nagisa, their faces just inches apart, “how about we do a little something?” Karma offered, leaving Nagisa a bit flustered, “uh what exactly are you getting at?” Nagisa asked with a very suspicious look on his face, he didn’t know what to expect from this devious man infront of him.
“Well I was wondering if-“ the door opened, Isogai walking in to see Karma and Nagisa just inches apart, Nagisa’s face relatively red as Karma pulled back, “never mind then.” The redhead sighed, “m-morning Isogai.” Nagisa said, “good morning to you two! Hopefully Karma wasn’t threatening you or anything when I came in.” Isogai joked.
“You saw right through me…” Karma returned the joke, dramatically placing a hand over his heart as he looked down with his eyes closed. “So, Isogai, how’s the boyfriend?” Karma said out of nowhere, “I know you and Maehara aren’t just friends, after all, I did see you two ki-“ he got cut off by Isogai, “h-hey now! No need to uh… bring that up-“ “no actually there is a need, I’m surprised to know there’s another couple in this run down class of misfits.” Karma laughed a little.
“YOU SHOULD KILL HIM BEFORE HE REVEALS YOUR SECRET, NAGISA SHIOTA”
The tentacles…. Not again….
“Another?” Isogai questioned with a raised eyebrow. “Yup, although I’m not spilling who else is in a relationship, that’s for you to figure out yourself.” Karma said as he watched Isogai’s face flash multiple different emotions at once.

Pairs of feet could be heard as more students came in, Karma heading back to his seat after a while of chatting with Nagisa and eventually Kayano, Sugino sometimes bringing something to the conversation, mostly to talk to Nagisa though. “Good morning class!” Koro sensei exclaimed as the octopus slithered in the classroom, books in hand as he went to the chalkboard to write something down.
“HIS BACK IS TURNED! YOU SHOULD HIT HIM WITH ALL YOU’VE GOT!”
“Shut it..” he whispered to himself, the icy blue haired boy shivering a little as his back ached, the tentacles wanted out, they wanted to kill.
