3 Chapter 3 Nakamura's Home
I've never actually been to Nakamura's house before, although I was more afraid of how my mother would react if I didn't come home tonight. I insisted on going home but Nakamura refused and Karma escorted us to her house to make sure I wouldn't try and run back to my house (that and I think he wanted to check out her house ).
Once we got to there Nakamura stepped onto her porch unlocking the door.
"Nagisa," Karma whispered, glancing in my direction.
"What?" I whispered back looking up at him.
"Are you sure you don't wanna stay at my place?"
That would seem like the normal choice but I couldn't stay over at Karma's for the night. He might find out my little secret. I went over to his apartment once before it was kept well cleaned and it was nice although the last thing I needed was him to walk in on me changing and find out that I wasn't actually a guy. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because of my gender.
"N-no I'm fine..." I whispered back.
He shrugged before shooting me a weird look...he leaned back to me ear, "Do you got a thing for her or something?" he paused grinning, "is that why your staying the night at her house~"
I felt myself blush feeling embarrassed. "W-what no!" Nakamura turned around hearing me yell. She raised an eyebrow,
"Karma what are you telling him." She said shaking her head.
"Nothing," he said sticking his tongue out playfully.
"Alright well come inside it's a little cold out here." She said opened her door and stepping aside, me and Karma walked in I looked around her living room hearing her close the door behind me.
She had a nice white carpet and a large couch in front of a big T.V with a coffee table between them. I sometimes forget Nakamura lives with her parents and older brother...
"My parents are out of town for the week, and my brother is away at college so I got the whole place to myself." She said locking the door behind her. She turned to me and Karma while smiling
"You guys want something to eat?" She asked,
"Nah I'm good." Karma said causally.
"I-I'm fine too." I added shyly, Nakamura shrugged before walking into her living room and sitting down on her couch me and Karma followed sitting down with her.
"So while you two are here let's talk." She said grinning turning to us, we were sitting next to each other.
"Who do you like most in the class!" She said, Nakamura was always one for gossip...neither of us said anything,
"Aw come on." she said still smiling, Karma shrugged,
"Okuda seems alright." When he said that I felt my chest tighten...was I catching a cold?
Nakamura looked at me before laughing shortly. I looked at her confused before she just waved me off,
"What about you Nagisa?"
Someone I like in the class...I couldn't think of anyone...I glanced over to Karma before I saw him quickly turn away from me. Was he staring at me? I looked back at Nakamura,
"I can't think of anyone to be honest.." I said rubbing the back of my head nervous. She raised an eyebrow,
"Come on there's gotta be somebody." She said, I shook my head, she shrugged and sighed.
"What about you Nakamura~ Got a special someone in the class?" Karma asked teasingly, she shrugged,
"Nah. Nobody catches my interests." She said putting her arms behind her head, "I heard Chiba and Hayami are going out." she said leaning into the couch.
"Are you serious?" I said carious, Nakamura shrugged, "'It's just a rumor, but who knows...it might be true~" She said grinning. "I'm gonna go get something' to drink, you guys want anything?" She said getting up and looking at us,
"A soda," Karma said simply,
"Um..do you have juice?" I asked hesitant
"Yea, I'll be right back." Nakamura said before leaving the room.
Karma turned to me "Hey.." he began his tone a bit serious. "So...what are you gonna do...about your 'mom'?" He said, I shrugged…
"I-I don't know yet to be honest...I-" I paused as Karma leaned forward brushing his hand against the bruise on my forehead.
"Ow.." I said aloud, he narrowed his eyes to my arms dragging the sleeves of my shirt up his eyes widened as he saw a few more bruises on my arms. He looked up to me I was avoiding his gaze.
"Nagisa...why do you let her do this to you?" He said slowly...I didn't answer fearful of what he might say or do. His hand grabbed my chin slowly moving my head so that I was looking at him, his eyes were filled with concern and a bit of anger he was trying to hide. He waited for me to responde,
"She...she's too scary...I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm around her.." I said quietly, Karma brushed his thumb lightly across my chin the touch of his hand felt...comforting.
"Nagisa...I won't let her hurt you..." He said slowly. I felt my cheeks grow red gradually, his serious expression melted away, a smug smile took its place.
"Well this is adorable to watch." Me and Karma nearly jumped back from each other when we heard Nakamura's voice. We both looked at her slightly blushing she laughed before placing our drinks down on her coffee table.
"You know, you two would make an adorable couple." She said grinning,
"W-w-what!" I said nervous, Karma glanced over to me before grinning, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"Well Nagisa is adorable," He said...laughing...he was teasing me…
"I-I'm not adorable!" I said annoyed not able to help but blush. They both laughed at my flustered expression I just buried my face in my hands...oh my god...Karma's bad enough but the two of them teasing me is worse! Lord of all sushi come and help me, save me from these two devils...even if they did tease me...I was glad they were my friends...
