Chapter 25

Today's the day. If Karma didn't gather up the courage to do something about this thing going on between them, Y/N has decided to stop putting efforts whatsoever. Winter vacations were over a month ago and all the students gave the entrance exams in the respective colleges they wanted to go. She already gave him enough time to study and get through the exams but if he didn't give her any kind of proper answer on Valentine's Day, she has decided to end it.

Ofcourse it would hurt but it was more painful for her to hang on to this unconfirmed relationship they had. Realistically, she would be more happier with someone who had mutual feelings and where she can finally call someone her boyfriend. Yes, Karma was her friend but with all these feelings it made her feel self-conscious every time she told someone that he was just her friend.

"You're still not sure, right?" Asano said as they entered the school together, "You don't have to force yourself."

"At times, we should force ourselves to do things we don't want to for our own good. You told me that everyone deserves a second chance and I gave him one, so I'm allowed to be pissed right now."

"Exactly. Don't do things out of anger that you're going to regret later."

"Don't lecture me," Y/N pouted, "You don't know how I feel. I can bet your locker is gonna be full of gifts and chocolates so-"

"Yeah but I don't want them, do I? You don't know what it's like to turn them down and hoping they won't have hard feelings stored in for me."

"Well you can stop pretending for starters," Y/N said, "And don't tell me that you don't pretend to be nice cause you sure as hell do. You want to keep up the image, then you've got to deal with these stuffs too."

"The thing is no one actually wants to know the real me. They all just know me as the son of principal and the topper."

"Look, that's a part of you and you need to accept that. If you want people to know you then let them step in your life. Besides, you are going to receive a gift from someone genuine," Y/N opened her backpack and gave him something neatly wrapped up, "Here you go! Had the feeling that you would feel down with all these 'no-one-knows-the-real-me' thing. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Gakushu smiled and took the gift from her, immediately tearing up the wrapper. "This...must have cost a lot right?" he asked, looking at the new game - Life Is Strange.

"Eh, I saved up my pocket money. By the way, it's a choice based game."

"We can play it togeth-"

"We can't. You have to play this alone Gakushu," she said and patted his head, "I...don't exactly have the excellent grades to get in the college same as you. I have to...make it work with the second or third best ones. Besides, neither do I have a scholarship, nor do I want to take a huge student loan that I have to pay for half of my life."

Gakushu stood there looking at her, his smile faltering. Both of them knew it was coming. He would obviously get in the best college - probably somewhere out of the city. That's how reality works though, right? You make friends, you promise to keep in touch but then you grow up and realize all the other responsibilities you have. Sure, it hurts to think about how much time passed away but the memories with them stay with you.

Y/N sighed and said, "Oh my god, don't be so down. I'm not letting you go that quick. I gotta keep Mr. Prodigy in my pocket incase I need his help."

"I mean...we can meet sometime, right? I swear my dad won't be a pain in the ass," he laughed.

"Okay you gotta go cause those girls keep glaring at me and I'm not gonna let them off easy if they come at me," Y/N muttered, and signalled him to their direction.

"Alright, bye!" he laughed and walked towards his building.

"Uh BYE BRO!" she shouted, loud enough for the girls to hear. Yeah, they were gonna be in touch. No way in hell, he's gonna let her off the hook after everything goes down.

She kicked the stone in front of her and started strolling towards the bus stand. Y/N noticed the incredibly cute couple standing on line, holding hands. Ah, she hates couples.

The whole day passed and she didn't see even a glimpse of either Rio or Karma. You can say, she spent her time talking a bit with the other classmates and then reading a storybook. Yeah, it's kind of lame but it looked like that was the most action she could get in Valentine's Day. The only regret she had is to wait that long to be with a guy, who would probably never propose her. Like, she actually had no relationship in her whole school life.

As she stood watching the couple silently, a taxi stopped in front of her.

___________________________________________

"Cherry~"

She heard a familiar voice call her out. As much as she felt happy, she was actually a bit mad too. Quietly, ignoring the taxi standing in front of her, she started walking away.

"Shit," she heard him cuss under his breath as the taxi slowly started moving forward and matching her pace, he continued, "Can you atleast look at me?"

"I didn't look at you the whole day, so I don't think I want to look at you now. Go home," she said.

"Okay, come on. You can't just walk home..."

"Oh yeah? Watch me."

"Then," she heard the car door shut and footsteps behind her, "I'll walk with you too."

"I'm sorry," he said, "Look at me."

Y/N sighed and looked at him, and he looked different. No, it was the same uniform but there was something different about him. She could feel the happiness radiating from him, with his body language and the huge smile plastered on his face. She couldn't help but break a small smile.

"You don't look sorry," she said crossing her arms.

"I've got something to ask, and I just hope you'll say yes."

That's it! It was this moment she waited for so long.

"I want you to come to my home,"

Y/N stared at his face for a whole minute processing the words he said.

"Huh?"

__________________________________________________

"I knew you were loaded but...this," Y/N said looking around and observing the surroundings, "is a huge ass house to live in when you're alone."

"This way," he said and pulled her arm excitedly making towards the dining room. The room was dark.

"I didn't have the time to prepare but I tried my best," he said and lit up the candles kept all around the room. Near the glass window from where she could see the bustling city, a dining table was neatly arranged with plates, a rose in a small vase and a candle.

"You...prepared candle light dinner for me?" she suppressed her laughter at his adorable gesture, "How will I tell my mom? She'll kill me if I'm late."

"Rio can handle it," he said and pulled a chair, "sit down."

"You made plans?"

He came with food from the kitchen and kept it on the table. "I can't forget about the most important person in my life." They started sharing the food and putting it on their plates.

"Really? Most important? I mean..." she chuckled taking a bite, "I can be one of the most important, not just...the most important person."

"No you are. I mean, look around. I don't see why you can't be that. My parents barely see me. I'm not even sure if they know how I look like now."

"Oh I'm sure they know."

"What do you mean? Look you don't need to sugarcoat your words, I know you don't mean it."

"No, I'm saying they probably know how you look like because they might have some kind of spy hired. Maybe not someone professional, but someone who lives around you. Trust me, if you were in trouble they would be the first ones to come home."

"....you can't be serious."

"Like I said, it's a possibility. You don't spend time enough with your family to know what they are actually like, no offence."

"Okay, I didn't prepare a romantic dinner for you to talk about my parents. I wanna see you getting flustered," he smirked and looked at her.

"Can you be more cheesy?" she chuckled and concentrated on her food, a blush covering her face.

_____________________________________________

Turning the page of the photo album, Y/N came across a picture of Karma with his parents. She smiled as her fingers glided across the photo of him smiling; he looked younger but he didn't look happy. The smile on the photo looked fake.

Karma sat down beside her, "I went on a trip with my parents that time."

"You.."

"I wasn't happy, you noticed?" he chuckled, "Can you blame me? They don't contact me for so long and suddenly take me on a trip as if that's gonna make everything okay."

"You're allowed to feel that way. They had their reasons and so did you," she said and looked at him. He was sitting close, their noses were inches apart. He smiled and pulled her closer towards himself, hugging her from behind as they looked down at the photo album on her lap.

She leaned back, resting her head on his chest. She turned to the next page and the first picture made her giggle, "Awww naked little Karma~"

"Can we turn-"

"No wait!" she laughed and pushed his hand away as he tried to take away the photo album from her hands, "I want this picture!"

She unlocked her phone and tried to take a picture, while Karma tickled her and tried to loosen her grip on the album. "I knew this was coming," he laughed watching her face turn red from laughing too hard but her grip still tightened on the album.

Unable to get it away he pushed her on the bed and pinned her hands down. He panted and scanned her face as she stopped laughing and looked up at him, her face still flushed. She looked down at his lips and up at him again. Karma leaned down, but stopped as soon as their noses touched. Y/N slowly leaned up and kissed him, pressing her lips softly on his.

"Are you sure?" Karma said when they pulled apart, his nose sliding up her neck as he placed a small kiss, "You did place the no kiss rule."

"I wouldn't kiss you if I wasn't sure," she whispered and brushed her hands up his hair to the back of his head, "I want this."

And that was all that he needed to hear.

He started kissing down her neck and then back to her lips, pulling her up slowly. They undressed themselves from the uniform they were still wearing. She pulled him close holding his hips and leaving small trails of kisses from his collarbones to his neck.

He slid his hands on her hair and pulled off her hairband, kissing her softly and then pushing her on the bed again. She could see the imprint of his hardened member on his boxer. He brushed her hair away from her neck and bit the part of skin he previously left a mark on, sucking on it.

Karma steadily moved down to her chest and marked up, and looked up at her. He wanted to see all of her expressions, and this was the one he wanted to be the only one to witness. He kissed her right breast and sucked on her nipple as she let a moan out. Nipping and pulling it lightly as he observed her panting, he moved to do the same on the left.

She gripped his hair as he slowly moved down and pulled her legs apart. "You're dripping wet," he said huskily, "all this for me babygirl?" He watched her pussy clench as his hot breath hit it. He came close and started breathing heavily, sniffing and taking in her scent.

Y/N whined and looked down at him, "Please.." she panted between her words, "please Karma, do...something."

He smirked at her needy expression and dived down licking her clit and sucking on it harshly. She tightened her grip on his hair and panted his name out loud. He put his tongue inside her, as she cursed under her breath while he continued sucking on her clit in between. "Karma!" she said huffing, "I-I feel...hah..something."

He pulled back and slid in his two fingers, stopping and looking at her to see if she was in any kind of pain. But the way she started panting, it didn't look like it. He pushed his fingers in and out of her, trying to find her spot and-

"Ah!"

There it was. He smirked and put in another finger, as he watched her breathing heavily for a moment. He gave her some time to get adjusted to it and then started fucking her, in the same spot over and over. Y/N who never felt this kind of pleasure started moaning loudly, as she felt something build up in her. She read about it before but to get the experience was something very different. She held his hands tightly as he whispered, "Almost there babygirl."

But as soon as she thought the thing in her would burst he pulled away. Karma slowly slid his boxer down and revealed his hard pulsating member out. Y/N moaned at the sight and touched it, sliding her hands up and down his member. She heard him grunt and stopped her.

"Today's about you, okay?" he panted. He opened the bedside drawers and ripped open a packet and put on a condom, positioning his cock he said, "Look at me Y/N."

She looked at him, into his eyes as he slowly slid in her. Karma felt the warm walls pull him in, both of them moaned. He observed her face for some kind of discomfort, even though he prepared her for it just before this. She panted and said, "W-wait, just-" she moved a bit and adjusted herself as he moaned at the movement. She nodded her head in approval.

He slowly moved inside of her, their hearts pounding against their chest. Y/N hugged him close when he pulled out gritting his teeth, and slammed in again. She let out a strangled moan in pleasure and felt him sliding out. Karma pushed himself in again, slamming straight into her spot. He heard her scream his name.

Yes, that was a sinfully beautiful sound. And he wanted everyone to hear the name she was chanting. Picking up his pace, he thrusted in and out of her while she struggled to keep her hands on him, nails digging on his skin.

"Fuck," she cursed as he roughly fucked her, "don't stop, ah- yes!"

"Didn't know you could be this filthy babygirl," he grunted and thrusted in hard, "You like it rough huh." Y/N could only scream and moan in response as Karma continued, "Shit, ah- gonna fuck you till you can't walk. I'm gonna make you a slut for my cock, mine." Possessiveness dripped down his voice as he pulled her legs up more, speeding up and fucking her rough. They could hear the skin slapping and feel the sweat off their body.

"Mine," he said hearing her chant his name, "Mine, mine, mine,"

"Ah-ah-Karma, ah- I feel weird,"

Recognizing what her words meant, he sped up and felt her walls clenching on his cock, sending him over the edge, while he continued fucking and hitting her spot over and over till he felt her cum. After a few hard thrusts he felt himself release and dropped down on her, both breathing heavy.

Y/N hissed as she felt him pull out of her and dropping next to her. They faced each other, observing their hairs sticking onto their faces. Karma slowly slid her hair to the back of her ears and gripped her hand. He wanted to cherish this moment of them together. The moment after they made love - how she glowed, the way a tired smile spread across her face and her flushed body. He wanted every bit of this moment burnt into his memory.

Kissing the back of her hand he said, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I am," she smiled wider, "Not gonna lie, I'm glad I got to do it before the world ended."

"And I think it's best if I say it right now. I love you Y/N," he looked at her radiating smile and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"So..sex is what finally made you do it," she joked.

He laughed and got up brushing his hair back. Watching him, she got up wincing at the pain between her legs, and covered herself with a bedsheet. "We should get cleaned up," she said.

"Need some help?" he asked, smirking.

"Maybe?" she laughed and turned to look at him. "Oh," she noticed the little blood stain on his bedsheets, "Uh, sorry..about that."

"Oh it's okay baby," he smiled, "I popped you today....get it cherry?"

Y/N sighed and rolled her eyes, "On other note, I'll do it alone."

"But it was funny-"

"I can't take your bad jokes," she laughed as Karma held her arm and pulled her in the bathroom.
