Training with the Devil

You paused and sat on the couch in silence. After a few seconds, you lookup with a large grin on your face, "Finally, that was taking forever!"You say, excited. "It's not my fault that you wouldn't come in my house, tried seducing me, and took so long to eat." He said, clearly a bit annoyed by the "wasted time". You say back to him, "Oh shut up, you enjoyed spending time with me" you sprawl HIS infamous smirk over your face. He just looked away and began walking, you followed.

He walked down some stairs and stopped at a wooden door. He opened it and... "Woahhh~" You say out loud. It was a large rectangular room. A giant mirror across every wall. In the room, was punching bags, dumbbells, and all sorts of sports equipment. "The heck, no wonder you're so good at fighting.." you mumble. "Acknowledging my skills already, I see~" Karma chuckles. You ignore him and just stare in awe at the room before you.

Karma walked in, "We've stalled long enough." You walk in. "Kay, Punch me" he says.

"Um..what?"

"Punch me"

"Why-"

"Just do it already. Full force"

"Ok.."

You pull your arm back and swing as hard as possible at Karma. He dodges, "Okay. You need to use more momentum when punching." He punches a punching bag near you, then does it again but slower to show what he means. "O-oh! Okie!" You say, trying to imitate his punch.

2 Hours of Training- Covered some punching/ dodging.

"Geez, you have slow reflexes. How do you suppose you can fight if you're that slow?~" he teased. "H-hey! I'm trying, alright?!!" You say. "Okay, now that you can somewhat punch better and harder. Try hitting me, full force, but this time I'll dodge. Land a one hit on me and we can move on to kicks." He challenges. "Okay.." You say.

You swing your arm towards him, he blocks it. You keep swinging and swinging and he keeps blocking and dodging. "You're being too predictable, (y/n)." He gives feedback. You try to change up your movements, still to no avail. He gets behind you and puts your arms down, "You can stop for now." He says. "Not fast enough and too predictable.." he says, "But you can hit strong."

He thinks for a moment to give tips. Suddenly he grabs your arm and pulls you towards him. "Ah! Wha-?!" You spout. "You were way to slow to react." He informs. "Can you stop telling me that already?!" You say, clearly stressed already. "Hey hey hey. Don't get so worked up about it! This is first practice, remember?" He smiles at you. You feel reassured, but also wary because his smile actually looked a bit genuine.

"What time is it?" You ask. Karma walks over to a bench where his phone lay. He picks his phone up and it lights up, "7:34" he tells you. "Hm, two hours.. and I still can't lay a hit on you." You frown. "Aww~

Is (y/n) sad that I'm too fast for her?~" he snickers. "Sh-shut up!" You retort, embarrassed.

"How long do you intend on staying?" He asks. "Long as you want, I don't care" you answer. This only makes Karma smile, "You want to spend time with me that much?~" he jokes. "Pft. No, I just want to get better at fighting so I can get that 10 billion yen." You spout. That was part of the reason, another was because you really didn't feel like facing your grandparents right now because they fucking piss you off. The other reason was because it was true, you actually were KIND OF enjoying Karma's company😏.

"Okay, let's take a break... think fast!" he throws a water bottle towards you. You catch it, "not too bad" he smirks, happy you improved. We go back to the MAIN living room of his house and you plop down on the chairs, sighing of exhaustion, "I'm burnt!" You say, closing your eyes.

"Stay like that for a second.." he says. You can feel weight being put on the couch next to your shoulder. You open your eyes to see Karma, his arms around you and he comes closer and gives you a little peck on the cheek. You blush deeply, "W-W-WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!" You shout, embarrassed. He just smiled and you saw that as a signal to calm the heck down.

Once you start breathing normal-ish again, you look him straight in the eyes, "..w...why..?" You ask. Karma stares at you blankly then his expression changes, "DONT ASK ME, I DINT EVEN KNOW WHY I DID THAT MYSELF. WHY THE HECK DID I DO THAT?!" He started ranting, while blushing. You take one look at him and giggle, "Calm down." He looks at you and begins to breathe normally again. "IThinkItWasBecauseOfaCuteSceneiSawInAnAnime" he blushes. "..anime?...wait...do you mean... TBHK?!!" You say, your eyes light up.

—————————————————————

After several minutes of talking about anime and teasing each other, you both noticed the time. It was 9 PM. "It's getting late, you should go home." He tells you. Your heart sank, why do good times always have to end with me going back to that wretched place?! "I don't want to!" You say, giving puppy eyes.

"Wow~ Like me that much already?~"

"Shut up!.."

"Fine, you can stay.."

"Hell yea-"

"Jk"

"Oh, Fuck you!"

"That's not what you say to people who let you over, y'know?~"

"WHAAAA, I don't wanna!"

"You look like a 5 year-old screaming to a parent that they don't wanna go to school."

You get up and sigh. "Fine, Fine. I'll go." You say, face drooping. He grabs your wrist, "wait..if you want..you can come over tomorrow then" he gives you a smile. "Is that a real smile or sneaky smile?" You ask him. "Geez, I try being nice for once and that's your response?!" You give him a hug, "Sure, let's hang out tomorrow." You smile. He's frozen, you walk out the door.
