Coffee and Asano

"I love you, mom."

You lied in your bed, comforting yourself with the thoughts of your mother. You felt yourself drifting off..

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The sound of your alarm ringing, woke you up from your slumber. "Ugh~" You say out loud. "I don't wanna get out of bed..." you thought to yourself, "once I get out of this bed, its another painful day of pretending to be someone I'm not.."

You stay in the bed until a ping! Scared you awake a little. Your phone lit up, you reached your hand out to grab it. Your eyes took a few seconds to adjust to the phone's light before you could read the notification....

Karma 6:04

You awake? Wanna grab coffee at Lil' Bean Café before school starts?

Coffee? Well, you can't start your day without coffee.. you unlock your phone and type a reply back, "Sure, 6:20 works, right?" A few seconds later, another ping! Comes from your phone, "Yeah sure, 6:20."

You get up and quietly walk to the hallway. You shower for five minutes and tiptoe back to your room. You put on the school uniform and then tie your hair in a ponytail.(if you have short hair, ignore this)

You walk to Lil' Bean Café and as you come through the doors, you see Karma is already there, waiting. You sit in the seat opposite to him, "Hey." You say with a small wave. "Hey." He responds.

"What drink do you want?" He asks. "Umm... ill take a....hm.. surprise me." You tell him. You give him a $5 bill for him to use for your order. He smirks and throws away the bill. You quickly go to pick up the bill, "Dude, What the fuck?!" You say. You look up and he's already ordering the drinks. Before you could get to the cashier and hand the $5 bucks, he had paid.

When he comes back to the table, he smirks at you. "..you... didn't have to.." you mumble. "Just felt like it." He shrugs. "God damnit, Karma! Stop being so nice to me!" You say, with an ashamed face. He looks at you, he gives you a smile, "What's wrong with being nice to you?"

"..Just don't.." you look away. Karma reaches his hand towards your face and twirls a strand of your (h/c) hair around his finger, "Aww~ Don't be ashamed,

(y/n)~"

"Order 132!" A cashier calls, "that's us!" Karma stands up, you sigh. Karma comes back with two coffee's in his hands. Karma had Black Coffee, he got you French Vanilla. You've never tried a French Vanilla. You took a sip and....Karma watched as face lit up.

"Like it?" He asked. You nod your head vigorously and continue to sip down your coffee. "So good!" You exclaim after drinking half of the mug.

Karma's POV

I saw her face light up after taking a sip of the French Vanilla I ordered her.

I watched as she drank half her cup. Her face full of energy. "So good!" She exclaimed. You couldn't help but chuckle at seeing her so excited over this cup of coffee when she's usually so calm and collective.

This side of her, I wanted to see more of..but it's like she purposely hides it. When she sees me watching her, she goes back to her calm self and a tint of blush comes onto her cheeks. "Don't be embarrassed~ it's actually cute~" I tease. She looks down and her face is even pinker.

—————————————————————

Karma and (y/n) walk out the café. It's 7:00, the two decided to go to the train station and get to class earlier. They scan their subway passes and sit on the benches. The train wouldn't come until 20 minutes.

—————————————————————-

Back to (y/n)'s POV

"Hey, I'll go get us snacks and drinks." Karma points to a vending machine across the subway waiting area. "Save my seat." He says. "K." You respond. Karma gets up and takes one more look at you before making his way to the vending machine. You place your school bag where he was sitting.

"Hello, Miss, Would you happen to

know someone named Akabane Karma?" A voice asks. You look up to see a strawberry blond male with purple eyes looking at you. He wore the school uniform. You recognized him.

"Excuse me?" You look up. Asano sees your face and recognizes. "(Y/n)...it's you..do you know where Akabane is?" He asks. "Yeah, Karma.. I know where he is.." you say.

. "First Name basis? You must be close with him."

"I wouldn't say 'close'...Why do you need him?"

"I'd just like to chat with him."

"About?"

"Personal Matters"

"..."

—————————————————————

Karma's POV

As I walk back, I see (y/n) talking to someone. I walk faster, in case it's a douche trying to hit on her again. I recognize the strawberry blonde hair and quickly stride over to (y/n). I put my arm over her shoulder and give Asano a quick stern look before going back to my smirk.

"Is (y/n) trying to sway the principal's son now?~" I tease.

"He was asking for you." She ignores.

"Mhm, you sure you weren't the one

asking for me?~"

Asano spoke up, "Karma, a word if you wouldn't mind?" he says.

"What do you want?" I say at him. "I need to have a chat with you" Asano responds. "*yawn* just speak up already." I say. "Fine, you have to attend the assemblies. We've noticed your absence" he says, sternly.

I smirk, they notice my absence but not (y/n)'s? Hah. "Ok, I'll go" I say, sarcastically. (Y/n) smirks, she probably thinks she's so good because they didn't notice she didn't go. "But hey, Asano, there's another person not coming to the Assembly wanna know who?" I smirk. Asano raises an eyebrow. (Y/n) gives me a side death stare. "Haha, Just Kidding!" I say.

—————————————————————

(Y/n)'s POV

He better be kidding! I stand up, "Karma, let's go. The train's coming in 5 minutes." "Okay, Okay." He says, standing up. " Bye, Asano-kun" I added an icy sound to the word kun. Asano doesn't respond 'nor wave. He just looks away from you.

I walk side by side with Karma, He puts his arm around my shoulder.
