Chapter Text

The old beat up wooden floors of classroom 3-E creak with the fresh pairs of footsteps trashing down on them. Though, not unrecognizable. Instead of it being 2014, everyone has grown 8 years later. Classroom 3-E students have moved on to Universities and soon graduating.

"Can't you smell the nostalgia?" Irina waved her hands in the air, inhaling. "Honey this is where it all started." She spread her finger across the old desks, collecting a fair amount of dust.

"Yes, this brings a lot of memories. Though Irina, these students are smart. They have bright futures ahead of them. What's to say they'll even come back?" Karasuma's eyebrows furrowed.

"Always a strict thinker my love." She pouted. "I have no doubt at least a few will show. At least the ones with promise in this career." Irina tapped the floorboards with her feet.

"I'll get started on cleaning this place up." He offered, and got a sympathetic smile in return from his wife.

------------------------------------------

Nagisa is now a traditional man, he attends university and is an upcoming senior at Keisetsu University. He is nearly stress free due to being away from his from and finally advancing in his life. He is far too busy to keep up with his old classmates from 3-E, but checks up in the group chat occasionally. Unlike his partner in crime, or correction, former partner in crime Karma. He hasn't heard from him in months! That isn't too bad, compared to his classmates who haven't seen him since graduation..

What a flake! Though the thought of his former junior high class hasn't really crossed Nagisa's mind. Not until he checked his email last Thursday.

"Dear students of Koro-Sensei.

This is Irina Karasuma, writing to the former 3-E students. Individually I have sent an email to all your former classmates wondering if you could come back for another year of Assassination Classroom. This is top secret, and this email will delete itself after 3 minutes of opening it. Meet back at classroom 3-E Junugigioaka Junior High on April 4th, 2022. Don't wear your old uniforms of course.

- The Karasuma's."

This can't be real. Nagisa's waited a couple of days to see if anyone has texted in the group chat about it. Every notification he pries his phone to check. But alas, nothing. He debated texting Kayano or Karma about it. They'd be able to sniff something fishy out. Though, looking back at him and Karma's texts it looks like wall of one sided conversation.

Karma just is busy, I heard he graduated early and works in a very demanding company. I couldn't imagine. These thoughts wondered around Nagisa's head until the day of. He packed his bag, figured it was worth it anyway. If it is fake, maybe they're doing a surprise reunion thing. What if he is the only one who shows up? His overthinking distracts him from his route to Junugigaoaka Junior High. He steps off his train and looks around. Maybe someone is on the same train as him.

Then he saw a familiar formerly green haired, now brunette, Kayano, also stepping off the platform.

"Kayano. Kayano!" He raised his voice to get her attention. She looked around until she spotted his light blue hair, now shorter. 

"Nagisa.. It's nice to see you." She went in for a hug, in which he returned softly. "What brings you to the area?" 

Nagisa stares around, unsure of what to say. "Uhm. I've decided to visit my mom and dad. What brings you here?"

A flutter of disappointment washes over Kayano's eyes. "You didn't receive an invite?" 

Awkward silence filled between the two, while what filled in was the clattering of footsteps of other passengers.

"No.. I did. I just didn't know if you did and that's really awkward also it could have totally not been real. I was debating going and I just got here intrusively." Nagisa sighed. He knew he was rambling. "Sorry. We should go together."

Kayano nodded, and just like old times they took the walk to the school, and then spotting Nakamura and Isogai both about to climb up the mountain.

"No way, you guys actually came too?" Isogai asked. Everyone laughed and reunited.

"It's been a while, last time I saw you Nagisa was when we all graduated high school!" Nakamura chirped. She grew into a tall young women, taller than Nagisa at least. Her pale complexion didn't change, but the fierceness in her eyes only hardened throughout time. Kind of hot. Nagisa received a punch to his shoulder from Isogai. He looked taller, refreshing, and still cheery. Something about seeing all these people gave him bittersweet nostalgia, the memories of being connected by this class, specifically their teacher, Koro-Sensei. 

Something about going up this hill, and not seeing the 8 foot octopus brought a lingering sadness across the former students. No amount of sadness will bring down their determination, not after seeing that this is not a prank. They are going to help out the world, as they've promised Koro-Sensei. 

Reaching to the top they can see Hayami, waiting with Toka who seem to be waiting for other people. Both girls grew up and matured, Nagisa focuses on how everyones face seemed to chizzle out. 

"Wow Nagisa! Didn't think you'd come." Toka remarked. She went up to greet each girl with a big hug.

"Huh.. Why does everyone keep saying that?" Nagisa pats the back of his neck, feeling this awkward stare on him. 

"Everyone totally expected you to be a top tier assassin by now. I guess Nagisa isn't cut up for that." Only one mouth has the nerve to utter the most complimentive insult. Karma Akabane.

Nagisa looked back, he saw the incredibly tall, broadish, red haired, albeit handsome, son of a bastard. Except he knows he's only joking, but why would Karma be here? 

"Wow you were behind us and didn't want to say hi? What a weirdo." Nakamura teased. "What are you doing here? Nagisa told us how you're working as a treasury for this big company."

"Nagisa, always telling my business.." Karma looked over to Nagisa who had been quiet, now a bit nervous but smiling. "We catch up on each other's life all the time." Karma smiled. It felt artificial. 

"Hm.. Let's just get inside. They're probably waiting for us inside." Toka gestured for everyone to come in, following behind everyone were Karma and Nagisa, far enough away where people couldn't listen in. 

"All the time?" Nagisa softly laughed. 

"Had to tell them something, didn't want to make it awkward." Silence grew as they continued walking in the corridors, slowly emerging onto class 3-E. "I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up though. Life has been busy. Work is all I do now."

"It's okay, it's incredible you've gotten such a prestigious job at such a young age!" Nagisa complimented. "How did you make time for this?" 

"Paid time off, I'll see how this works out and if it's even important. This top secret thing seems kind of bullshitting." Nagisa nodded in agreement. Nobody really knew what they were getting themselves into. Is it something small, like when the two went to space? Or having to save the world again?

Both the Karasuma's were at the desk. Waiting. A spot where Koro Sensei once sat, now replaced with a shrine full of memories.
"We can save the emotions for later, which one of you guys are willing to die for a mission?" Irina's eyes pierced through the students who walked in, and for a moment it felt like they were back to being prepubescent teens. Scared, and unsure if the world was going to end soon.
Everyone in the group froze up. None of them have been tested since middle school on being an assassin. They forgot this line of work comes with major sacrifice.

"We have a lot to do." Mr. Karasuma spoke up. "This isn't some cheesy 10 year high school reunion. We called you here because you were the fastest learning group the top assassins had ever seen. Leave if you're not prepared to take this on."
Nagisa half expected Karma to walk out, he is a busy man. I mean busy enough where he can't communicate in his free time with his best friend. Does he even see him as his best friend? But Karma was the first to take a seat. Nagisa took the honor of sitting next to him in the middle row. Something gnaws at him not many people are going to show up. Just as he thought that, Kayano excused herself.

"I am sorry Mr and Mrs. Karasuma." She bows her head, "I am extremely busy in my line of work."

"Oh you would've been lovely to work with. Don't worry about it." Irina assures her.

"We'll contact you if we need your amazing acting skills." Mr. Karasuma smiled. One by one many of the students excused themselves, busy with work, school, exams, life. Nagisa realized many of his fellow peers were forced to be assassins in middle school.

The only few remaining were Chiba, Isogai, Karma, Nagisa and Nakamura.

"What did I say? The one's who'd stay are the ones with promise." Irina got up. "The government has gone over a plan to slowly erase everyone from this world who knew about late Koro-Sensei. This means all of former class 3-E is in danger." Tensions rose up immediately.

"What does this mean?" Nakamura yelled. "Erase us how?"

"All we've received is that they're sending orders to erase our memory, or in the worst case us entirely. The government is worried that soon we will create a new Koro-Sensei, to continue on the assassination classroom. Our jobs will be to protect our former classmates, and to overthrow the governments plans. We will approach this like the space mission Karma and Nagisa went on." Mr. Karasuma spoke up.

Karma and Nagisa looked at each other, in confusion, the same confusion they felt when they first met Koro Sensei. How is their safety guaranteed?

Chapter Text

The room fell heavy with sudden realization. Their peers are in danger, and only they know.

”We didn’t want to freak out the whole class. That causes paranoia.” Karasuma began. “We knew you guys would for sure understand. We’re assigning personal missions to be completed in 30 days. This will mentally test you to care and sacrifice yourself for the safety of others.” 

“Don’t let the others know. We are not sure if these next few months are their last.” Irina put a finger up to her mouth. “No matter how much convincing me and Karasuma have done.. They truly think we are training you guys to create another Koro-Sensei.” 

The air felt heavier, and the natural noises that the building made felt intentional, eerie, and nerve wracking. Nagisa could only look at his peers for their reaction. Somehow, they never imagined they’d be in another situation where so many human lives are once again in their hands. 

“Who’s running this organization? How did you figure this out?” Karma seemed skeptical. “And most importantly.. why now?”  

Nagisa thought about it. It hasn’t been 5 years or 10. It’s been 8 years. Class 3-E is graduating university this year. What’s so special about that?

Irina and Karasuma looked at each other, worried but serious. “We’ve been aware they have been planning this since the day Koro-Sensei died.” 

What..?

”How could you have not said anything?” Isogai uttered. “We could’ve planned something for much longer.. with so much more help!”

”You were teenagers, barely entering high school. We figured that the government would realize their foolish ways soon enough.” Irina gulped. “All we need to do is secure the safety of each student and assassinate the politician who wants to pass the mission.” 

“Connections will take us far, for instance Karma.” Nagisa looked over at Karma, who was surprised but interested.

”Go on.” Karma reiterated. 

“You’re the treasury for Poli. International of Japan?” Karma nodded. “You speak to politicians everyday, have you heard of Yuji Koizumi?”

”He’s on the bench for our judicial system. I know people who have met him.”

“That’s good.” Irina said. “That is our target. Except Karma has too much of a public profile to be the one to assassinate him.”

“Perfect job for Nagisa.” Chiba said. All of their eyes turned to him.

”Woah. Let’s not assign roles yet. That’s our job.” Karasuma settled everyone down. “We’ll figure out your assignments by the end of today. Everyone here is important and necessary.” 

“Though, I already have Nagisa’s mission figured out.” Irina smiled. “Follow me outside, won’t you.” Nagisa got up out of his seat and followed Irina into the teachers office.

He feels like a teenager again. Something about that classroom and a mission gives him uncertainty. Can he pull off assassinating a highly public figure and not get caught? He’s only 21.. He wants to be a teacher! He has his life ahead of him. Can he really take a persons life? Is Koizumi innocent?

”I can tell you’re thinking about this a lot.” She assured him, “Your role is quite scandalous actually.” 

…

Something about that sentence makes Nagisa think about Irina and her techniques. Seducing men, acting dumb, being a complete object yet overcoming them by pure strength and beauty. 

“What does that mean, Mrs. Karasuma?” Nagisa gulped.

”So formal. You can call me Irina, we’re adults now.” She grinned. “I’m assigning you this because I am the most familiar in this tactic.”

Nagisa’s face flushed, he can only imagine the worst. Oh god, is he going to seduce the politician?

“Mrs- Irina. I am an adult, and most importantly male. I won’-“ 
“What a perv!! You won’t do anything like that with the target. Your target is Karma.”

“Karma? I’m going to kill Karma?” Irina shook her head.

”Your job is to seduce Karma in 30 days. Friends with benefits, lovers, get close enough with him. We’ll proceed from there.” She crossed her legs and composed her posture.

…

”I’m sorry?” Nagisa totally heard her wrong. Because in no world would Karma be attracted to Nagisa.. Short, thin, flappy, and in no way seductive?! “Why? How? What does that have to do with anything?” “Like I said, we’ll move on from there. I’ll teach you how these upcoming classes. You’ll get homework. I’m not very interested in the.. details you’ll have with him.” She smiled, just like Karma it felt artificial and persistent.

”Won’t it ruin my relationship with him?” Nagisa looked to the floor. “We haven’t caught up in a while.. but this is odd. We haven’t talked in months and then suddenly when we have an important duty to fulfill I want to get in his pants?!”

”The important thing is that you don’t stress. This will be the easiest part of your mission. Trust me, I can detect love from kilometers away.”

Why Karma? He has connections sure.. but dating him will also.. DATING?!? Whatever.. Nagisa thinks. Being in relations with him can tie the assassination back to everyone. What if Karma rejects him? Then he really can’t go back.. Wait. Detect love? This lady is delusional.

”Do you have any questions Nagisa?” Irina looked over at the embarrassed bluenette.

Can he really agree to this? Throw away a decade old friendship for the lives of his peers? Who is more important to him? Majority of his classmates don’t know. They could be living in the last months, and re-feel the fear they felt at the young age of 14.

”I agree. I’ll try and seduce Karma in 30 days. Do I have any homework today?” 

“Perfect. I’ll have you keep in contact with me and Karma daily. Incorporate your daily lives together, plan something within the next 3 days. We need to move fast.”

Irina got up and left the room, Nagisa expected to follow. But in the moment he just wanted to think. Plan. Maybe he could work on his appearance. It’s only 12. They could get lunch together..? Pacing around the room, he felt like a school girl planning around her crush. He hated feeling feminine. Is liking a guy really feminine? Hold up. Is Nagisa even queer?

He began to question himself, until a knock came to the door.

”Nagissaaa.. We’ve been waiting for you.” Isogai sighed. The door slid open and outside was everyone else. Nagisa’s eyes scanned for Karma who was behind everyone else. Nagisa stepped out half bowing,

”Sorry guys. I was brainstorming.” He sheepishly admitted. If only they knew the gravity..

”Wow, sounds like your first mission tests you out a lot.” Nakamura grinned. “We’re sworn to secrecy, so don’t even bother asking.” 

Nagisa smiled in return. She seems so unbothered. She probably didn’t get a task that humiliates her. 

“You took that seriously?” Karma laughed. “We’re still young and immature. We can spill a few secrets. Right?”

“There’s no we in that,” Chiba scoffed. 

“Yeah this is serious Karma. You probably have it easy for yourself.” Nakamura rolled her eyes.

”Suit yourself.” Karma tensed up. “Gosh Nagisa you’re so silent.”

”Yeah? Sorry.” Nagisa thought about it. Go for it, he thought. “Why don’t we catch up with lunch?” He was sure his cheeks flushed pink for everyone to notice. Karma looked at him and nodded. Relief fluttered throughout Nagisa’s body.

”Oh we’d join but my class starts soon.” The rest nodded in agreement and began making their way out of the classroom. They separated into two groups, Nagisa and Karma stayed in the back.

Nagisa couldn’t help but wonder why are they so normal about this? Do they not get the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness for the future? Are they concealing it? 

“Let’s get some barbecue.” Karma suggested. “You in the mood for meat?” 

Nagisa’s learned a few tricks from Irina, keep men on their feet!

“Only if it’s yours.” Nagisa laughs. This surprises Karma just for a second. “I mean your treat silly.” 

Karma laughs in return, “If you insist.”

DAY 1 - COMPLETE.

Chapter Text

“A little cute lunch date to catch up as old friends?” Karma asked.

Alright, calm down. Nagisa thought. “Only you,” he smiled.

Karma stayed silent for a second, “You never could take jokes well Nagisa..”

”Gosh, way to make me feel on our date.” Nagisa grinned at the taller man. Somehow, this felt natural. The nerves have subsided and the thought of potentially being killed off along with all of his classmates faded away. Flirting with Karma was easy, picking up a few tricks that Irina taught him years ago, he knows how to make any man go wild!

”Have you been to the spot by the station? On work trips I’ll stop by. I always get the octopus as a memorial thing.” 

Nagisa laughs at that, it’s bittersweet thinking about their old teacher.

“No I haven’t. I’m craving brisket.” Nagisa hums. “What are you hungry for?” 

“You can choose for me Nagisa.” Nagisa smiled at that. This will be way easier than he thought.

The barbecue spot itself was hidden between an alleyway. A spot only known to locals. Inside the aroma felt intimate and perfect for private discussions.

”Just a table for two please.” Nagisa requests to the hostess. She leads the two towards the back of the restaurant and handed them their menus, coincidentally they’re sat away from everyone else there. 

“Seems cozy.” Nagisa remarked.

Karma nodded and opened his menu. ”So.. are you gonna spill your mission?”

”I can’t do that,” Nagisa chuckled. “The food looks good.”

A few seconds later their waitress appeared.

”Hello, I’ll be your waitress today.” Her eyes catch Karma’s. “Mr. Akabane. It’s nice to see you.” Her eyes melt into his face, Nagisa can tell she’s smitten.

Always great at catching the ladies. Nagisa thought. 

Nagisa only smiled. 

“What could I get started for you two to drink?” She asked.

“Water is fine.” Karma spoke, “Nagisa?”

”A lemonade please.” He replied, and the waitress quickly ran off.

”Interesting, hm.” Nagisa hummed. “Karma.”

He looked up to Nagisa from his menu. 

“Have you had any lady friends recently?” Nagisa’s eyelashes fluttered, trying to portray innocence, but Karma knows what his devilish intention is.

He chuckled in response. “No I haven’t, work is too demanding for anything like that.”

“I wonder.. is it that Karma? Or is it trouble finding someone to get in bed with?” Nagisa smirked, he knew Karma had no trouble. The waitress was just fawning over him.

”Why do you want to know so bad Nagisa? Having trouble yourself? No one night stands, girlfriends, friends with benefits? Men..?” Karma’s eyebrow cocked at the last phrase.

“Men can only wish.” Nagisa ticked. He looked back down on the menu. “I think I’ll get a combo #2 with a side of rice and veggies. You?”

”Choose for me.” Karma replied.

”But what are you feeling like?” 

“Barbecue.” Karma said flatly. 

“You’ll just get the sampler platter. Looks delicious..” Besides the mission itself, the food did look really good.

“Yozi will come back soon. No need to wait too long.” Karma stirred in his seat.

“First name basis with the wait staff?”

”I come here a lot,” Karma’s eyes traveled to the bar up front.

”If you’d travel down south you could visit my university. It’d be such an honor to have a big success like you on campus.” Nagisa teased.

”You flatter me.” Karma thought for a second. “But you’re right. I haven’t been keeping in touch. Work isn’t as demanding as I’m leading on.”

”It happens. The past year I’ve been learning to teach a class full of delinquents.” Nagisa smiled, “Maybe Koro-Sensei thought the same when he saw you.” 

“Don’t remind me.” Karma scoffed.

”Are you still as strong as before?” An innocent question from Nagisa turned the warm playful air into a cold arrogant atmosphere. It felt like more of a challenge rather than a question.

”Why don’t you find out Nagisa?” Karma ticked. “Is that your mission? Are you going to kill me?”

“Is that what you want? My mission is classified information that you won’t get out of me. But it’s quite the opposite.” Nagisa huffed.

“Really? My assignment was to figure out everyone’s living arrangements, day to day life, schedules. I’m going to be an overworked security guard.”

”Karma why would you tell me!” Nagisa scolded. “This is top secret.”

”You’re way too serious Nagisa. Loosen up.”

”You should loosen me up,” Nagisa said playfully. 

Karma’s eyes shot up to his, and as if on cue the waitress Yozi came back.

”Ready to order food?” She smiled.

Nagisa piped up, “Yes, let me get a brisket #2 with a side of rice and veggies. And Karma, you wanted the sampler platter?”

The waitress took their orders down and went off.

“I can see you’ve changed.” Nagisa nodded with Karma in agreement.

”It’s only been two years that you’ve seen me. Am I drastically different?” Nagisa laughed.

”No. I’m glad to see that.” That last comment made Nagisa flush a little.

”S-So.. You’ve figured out anyway to find everyone?” 

“I’ve been in contact with Ritsu ever since I got the email. Majority of class 3-E is in Japan. With a few people like Itona and Sugino outside the country.” Karma played with his straw. “It’s demanding, because I’m out of reach for those two.” 

Nagisa only nodded in silence, offering his listening skills. 

“Is your assignment more than that? Is it really something you need to hide?” Karma’s eyes had this demanding curiosity, but instead of jealously like when they were younger, it sensed like yearning.

”No and yes. I am an important factor for the next steps we’ll be taking next month. Your connections are important for this mission.” Nagisa answered as honestly as he could without revealing too much. If only Karma knew, he just had to get him to fall in love with him.

Nagisa stared into Karma’s eyes, wondering if his sexuality will be able to protect his classmates. 

“Are you free tomorrow Nagisa?” Karma asked suddenly.

”I have a class in the morning, why?” 

“Meet me at my apartment in Tokyo center. I’ll text you the address, for now let’s enjoy our food.”

——DAY 1 OFFICIALLY COMPLETE.

Chapter Text

The morning wind was blowing the fragrance of grass. It was only a bit chilly, summer is starting soon. The trains started running over two hours ago, yet Nagisa looks around and barely anyone is there. It’s only 7:30 AM. He expected more of a rush. When he arrived in the center of Tokyo, it was extremely more crowded.

So much for peace and quiet. Nagisa thought. My class runs until 10 am.. I wonder what time Karma expects me there. Should I text him?

He arrived to his stop and began his walk to class. Still deciding whether or not to text Karma first. He headed to his first class and constantly checked his phone for any messages. He felt clingy, maybe Karma had something else going on in work. Suddenly they called him in?

—————

And like that his class was over, Nagisa hazily got up, only half paying attention throughout the whole ordeal. Still no text, call, or check up. I feel like an insecure girlfriend.. Nagisa chuckled at his own thought.

He decided to grab himself an early lunch and wait around in the Tokyo area. He didn’t want to go all the way back to his apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo. He decided to give Irina a call. Nagisa got up and went to a more private section of the cafeteria. He dialed in her phone number and waited.

[“Nagisa? Hello. I assume you’re calling for an update.”]

[“Yes.. I had lunch with him yesterday. We caught up on nice things.”]

[“How’d you act? Promiscuous?”] 

He could imagine her face on the other line, a grin that is just like Karma’s. 

[“I think I did a good job. He invited me over to his place today. I’m not sure when. I don’t even know why.”]

[“Eugh. Maybe to get in your pants. When you get there, don’t be afraid to—“]

[“Yeah that is not going to happen!”] Nagisa yell-whispered. [“I need advice. I need him to like-like me.”] 

Irina giggled. [“The two of you act like you’re still in junior high. Like-like you? This is a mission, not a fairy tale.”] 

Nagisa grew silent on the other end, maybe agreeing to this was a mistake.

[“Look,”] Irina started, [“I’m not a master of these crafts. I only used my skills for seduction. I had to chase a man to marry me. From the way I remember, Karma’s always liked you. You’ve just never given it any thought, the both of you liked the comfortability you had.”]

Comfortability? Nagisa and Karma? They remained friends, hung out, constantly talked. He always acted like a boyfriend— always there, just without the romantic part. Maybe Nagisa preferred it that way. 

“[I know Karma’s assignment. He’s going to be pretty busy guarding everyone and their whereabouts. Where does that leave time for me to swoop in?”] 

Irina paused. [“That’s not his assignment, either way it shouldn’t be shared. He lied. And to be honest, I don’t think there is any other reason to lie unless it’s to protect you. Go get him.”] She promptly hung up the phone.

It got him thinking what she meant about comfortability. Nagisa never thought about needing a girlfriend, he had Karma. Who else would understand like Karma does? He would have to explain what each inside joke means, or who is who, what his teaching life is like, assassination work. He has Karma! 

And only Karma. Nagisa finally realized. He lifted down the phone from his ear, he could feel his face warming up. He’s always liked him, but if Karma wouldn’t take it a step further, neither would he. 

This past year Nagisa has distracted himself by constantly being busy, and he knew he was running out of time before he can confront his problem head on. That’s partly why he took on the task by the Karasuma’s. It’ll keep him busy, and realistically give him another chance to see Karma.

A part of him is angry, it’s taken him so long to realize and only because he has to forcefully make Karma want him. He prefers his own terms on things, but he knows saving his classmates is more important. 

It’s now noon, almost 1 o’clock and still no word from Karma. He decides it’s best to return home and tackle future homework assignments for his actual education. He returns to the train station, but right before he stepped on board his phone rang. He knew it was Karma. He set his feet back and let the doors shut in front of him. He took a few steps back and sat down on a bench, and accepted the call.

[“Hello..?”] Nagisa muttered. 

[“Nagisa.”] Karma’s voice rang out, something about it was so refreshing. [“I’m sorry I haven’t texted you, something with work—“]

[“I understand, I just finished up some lunch and classes.”] The train loudly departed from the station, clearly translating through the phone. 

[“Where are you headed?”] Karma’s voice softened, maybe a little offended Nagisa’s going somewhere else.

[“Home. I was hoping to get some assignments done today.”] Silence grew between them, both waiting for the other to ask. 

[“How about I pick you up and then later I can take you home?”]

[“Sounds questionable,”] Nagisa smiled. [“I’m at Tokyo Station. Try and be here in 20.”]

[“I’ll be there in 5, I live nearby.”] With that, Karma swiftly hung up the phone and the antsy wait arrived.

——

Karma hung up the phone and immediately sprung up into action. He was at work, unexpectedly called in. He hadn’t been on his phone since 6 that morning, though he’s glad he got to Nagisa in time before he left the area. His office was only a 3 minute drive away from the train station, so he hurriedly grabbed his keys and told his assistant he’d be leaving for the day.

”I’m off, I’ll see you this thursday.” He roughly told his secretary.

“Oh? You’ve been off a lot recently.” She cocked her eyebrow at him. “As long as you don’t fall behind.” 

He nodded. She was this elderly lady who’s been in the industry to know not to question anything, but notice when something’s wrong. “Tell the Horimiyo’s client to hold off until I’m back.”

She agreed and shooed him away. Right, back to Nagisa. Karma thought.

He received his keys from the valet and pushed it to the medal, arriving at the station to find Nagisa waiting in front, sitting on a bench.

“Nagisa!” He called out, rolling the window down. Nagisa sat up and moseyed his way to the window. 

“Nice outfit,” he smirked at Karma. “can I apply to your office so I can look stupid?” 

“Oh shut up, I still remember when you wore dresses for missions.” His shit eating grin was smeared throughout his face. “I still have the photos..”

Nagisa rolled his eyes and walked over to the passenger side. He entered and settled his backpack onto his lap.

”Nagisa,” Karma handed him a flip-phone. “I want you to contact me through this cell.” 

“Real modern.” Nagisa flipped it open and went through the contacts. “Why? Is this for everyone?” 

“Just you.” Karma looked around and began reversing out of the parking lot. He shifted the gear back and began making his way back to his apartment. “I want to keep low profile, in case my job gets any word of this. Also, do you have a hoodie by any chance?” 

“No..” Nagisa looked around nervously. How important is Karma?! “Is someone like following us?”

”No, no..” Karma let out a soft laugh. “My job just doesn’t really.. recommend, that’s one way to put it, I guess, relationships of any kind. We can get bad press.” 

Nagisa thought about it. Something in his chest lifted, and healed an aching feeling in his heart. His mind raced, he wanted to ask a million questions. Though, he remained silent, nodding along.

”Nothing will happen, I’ll just say you’re a potential client. My apartment is funded by my company.” 

“That makes a lot more sense..” Nagisa sighed. He shifted in his seat. “So.. you went ghost on everyone?” 

“No just you Nagisa.” Karma playfully slapped the other’s knee and shook it. “I’m sorry, okay? This company really worries about their reputation. But I’ve figured out a few loopholes.” Karma pulls into the driveway of an apartment complex, where a doorman greets him and allows him inside to the parking garage. He parks and steps out, opening the car door for Nagisa to exit the vehicle.

”What a gentleman,” Nagisa rolls his eyes as he steps out. They enter the elevator to the main lobby. Nagisa keeps looking around, overwhelmed by the casual wealth surrounding him. Marble flooring, clean interior, simple decorations that scream expenses. 

“Welcome back, Mr. Akabane. Is this a guest staying with you tonight?” Another doorman welcomed Karma, and looked Nagisa up and down. 

“Oh, not tonight. Just talking to hopefully a future client.” The doorman smiled with relief. The two made their way to the elevator. I should’ve worn something better than casual.. Nagisa thought.

“Everyone’s pretty nosy, huh?” Nagisa playfully shoved his elbow into Karma’s side. 

Karma nodded, he too was a little nervous but didn’t want it to show. The doors opened and Nagisa followed Karma to his suite. 4th floor, all the way down the hall to the corner. Room 78. Karma unlocked the door and removed his blazer and hung it onto the coat rack next to the door. 

“Come in, don’t be shy.” His demeanor is inviting, but the atmosphere seems wrong, too intimate, scandalous. But Nagisa wanted to be lured into it like a vulnerable victim, and play the part of prey being hunted down by a dangerous predator, like Karma Akabane.

He stepped in and removed his shoes. Karma’s decor met his expectations. Simple, uniform and organized. He settled his things on the coffee table in the living room, near the entrance.

”You hungry for anything? I’m in the mood for takeout.” Karma asked, his voice treading away as he presumably walks to his room.

“Maybe something light. What about broth?” Nagisa called out.

Karma walked back in with comfier attire in, albeit just a long white sleeve and black sweatpants. “Sounds good, I’ll ask room service to call something in.” 

Nagisa looked back up at Karma who was plopping down onto his couch. 

“Soo.. you have any video games? Something to do?” Karma laughs.

”I don’t think I’ve owned a video game in years.”

Nagisa is kind of surprised. He knew Karma went down a very uniform strict path, but that’s something they bonded over. 

“Nothing?! Not even like, on your phone?” 

Karma shook his head. “Why don’t I..” He thought for a minute. “Let me make a quick phone call. What video games do you like?” 

“Anything from Nintendo is fine. Thank you.” Nagisa took his spot on the couch and settled in.

Karma picked up the phone and dialed in a short amount of numbers and let it ring in his ear. 

[“Hi, yes it’s Mr. Akabane. Can I request Holi?”] … [“Could you deliver a WiiU with multiplayer games to room 78? As soon as possible. Send me the bill afterwards.”] 

And as quick as he called, he hung up. 

“Did you get used to the rich life?” Nagisa laughed.

”I was born for it.” Karma shifted, “Do you want anything to drink?” 

Nagisa raised his eyebrow, “It’s only 3 o’clock.” 

“Well, nothing crazy. I’ll make sure. I have champagne.” 

To be completely honest, Nagisa’s only drunken sips of alcohol when celebrating people. Never outright did it. Would that be embarrassing to admit?

“Is that what people do?” Nagisa blinked. He can’t believe he said it. 

“You’ve never drank before?” 

“Not casually. Do you?” 

Ouch. Karma thought. Also hot, how can someone be so innocent? It’s stupendous.

”No..” Karma sighed. “You don’t have to but I will, it’s been a long day.” He got up and went into his wine cooler, pulling out a bottle of champagne, which Nagisa noted was already opened up. He poured himself a glass and looked back at Nagisa and decided to pour another one. He sat back down and handed the glass to Nagisa. “Just one,” he winked at him.

——

After a while, drinks just kept getting poured and it was 6PM. Nagisa probably only had around 5 over the span of 3 hours, compared to Karma who has had an undisclosed amount but still manageable.

The two were laughing, overly so of memories, recent events, family drama. The video game console somehow, remained untouched after being delivered. Nagisa appreciated it, in his drunken state he just allowed the conversation to flow so naturally, never allowing a breath of silence to interrupt a beautiful moment emphasized by something so taboo for Nagisa like liquor. 

But alas silence reached them as their eyes begin getting hazy and their senses start to tingle. 

“Somehow right now reminds me when I beat the soul out of you.” Karma interrupted the silence. 

“What’da ya mean you beat me?” Nagisa laughed. “I won!” 

“You left your back exposed.” Karma scoffed. “I let you win for metaphorical reasons.” 

Nagisa’s giggles echoed through the living room. His head threw forward as he clutched onto his stomach. 

“Alright it’s not that funny..” Karma looked away, embarrassed. 

Nagisa continued on laughing, angry, Karma grabbed his head and noogied it down. Nagisa looked up at him and his laughter slowed down. He thought back to the mission, his assignment. His goal. The dude date, how he has 28 more days to get Karma to love him. Does he even need 28 days? Maybe 2 months, maybe 2 years?

”Whad’ya thinking about?” Karma looks down at him. “Too plastered to think?” As he pours the both of them another drink. He handed off to Nagisa who laid a little back down.

“Sit up, Nagisa.” Worriedly, Karma put the glass down on the coffee table. He sat Nagisa up who leaned backwards, then onto Karma’s shoulders. 

“‘Am just adjusting.” Nagisa muttered. Nagisa makes eye contact with Karma for an uncomfortable amount of time, but doesn’t break it somehow.

“From what I remember, Karma already likes you.” The phrase kept repeating in Nagisa’s head.

”Karma.” Karma was staring intensely at Nagisa, and he could blame it on the alcohol but it drove something inside the both of them.

”Nagisa.” Karma subtlety gulped, antsy for what happens next. Nagisa leaned in closer, enhancing their eye contact. 

“Do you really want to know my assignment?” 

Karma hadn’t even thought about that all day. His mind has been going crazy with every file, budget, and status report needing to be submitted by the end of the day.. 

“Yeah.. you gonna tell me?” Karma looked down at Nagisa’s lips, inviting and tempting.

”Kiss me and I’ll tell you.” 

The atmosphere, hazy and delicate, shattered with temptation and sin. Karma took no hesitation to grab the side’s of Nagisa’s face to pull their lips closer together. 

They connected, shy and gentle at first, adjusting to the new sensation. But neither objected, instead getting a feel for the warm cavity they introduced themselves to. Nagisa pulled away first and looked back at Karma, who was as surprised as he was. Nagisa pushed Karma further down on the couch, laying him down and climbing on top of him using his liquidated confidence. 

As if instinctively, Karma’s hands went for Nagisa’s waist and hips, holding him onto his torso. Nagisa’s hands held himself up between Karma’s head, as he looked down. Karma, slightly sweaty, eyelids half opened, with a desire for more. 

Nagisa kissed him, allowing Karma to take control, opening his mouth slightly for Karma to explore. He felt vulnerable, in the most sensitive way he’s ever felt before. A rush flooded both bodies, and the heat was rising between them. 

Karma’s gripped tightened around Nagisa, pulling him closer onto his body. Wanting to connect their crotches. Karma sat up a bit, holding onto Nagisa’s head, who’s still drunkenly nibbling onto the man’s lips. 

Karma pulled away and shifted his leg’s a bit, feeling his pants get tighter with a growing erection being toppled by Nagisa’s legs. It let his imagination go wild. He notices Nagisa’s slightly growing bulge, grinning at the similarly received feedback. 

“Don’t get too excited.” Nagisa annoyedly said. 

“How could I not?” Karma squeezes his waist and drags his ass on his lap, “When I have you right here melting on top of me.” 

Karma groaned into Nagisa’s lips, who had been haltering his breath, moaning into each slobbery kiss. Nagisa’s hips began to move with Karma’s hands movements. 

Karma grins, “Where’d you learn this?” The saliva line breaks apart when Nagisa looked down at his body’s natural reaction.

”I.. I don’t know..” He moaned. 

“Fuck..” Karma rubbed Nagisa down against his bulge, fully erect and tightening his underwear. “Nagisa?”

”Mmm..” Nagisa hitched. He looked at Karma again and took off his shirt. “I’m not that drunk y’know..” and tugged at Karma’s long sleeve. 

God he could finish right there, Nagisa’s swollen lips, bulging dick, fuckable waist,  teary eyes staring back at him, desperately wanting to be fulfilled. 

“Let’s go to my room.” Karma whispered.

Chapter Text

Day 4 has now nearly been completed as Nagisa rolled over to look at his alarm clock. 11:56 PM. He should be getting some sleep, as he has to supervise a class tomorrow. He can’t sleep. And he hasn’t been able to since he last saw Karma. Maybe it’s the alcohol still in his system (highly doubt it) or the looming feeling of regret, but Nagisa has entered a state of quietness. He hasn’t received a text from Karma, and realistically the next time he’d see him is probably to meet up again the following Monday. It’s now going to be Friday. In two minutes. Somehow, he’s done the complete opposite of his task and became obsessed with Karma, codependent and needy. 

He’s updated Irina since the incident, where she shared her own suggestions– Nagisa obviously did not go into much detail. Not that he can remember every single movement, or overwhelming sensation of warmth that his childhood best friend brought him to his nether regions. Nagisa cursed this mission, all it brought was worry and confusion between his friendship. It’s now 12:05. He would call Karma to lean on his shoulder in situations like this. 

——————

“Let’s go to my room.” Karma whispered.

Nagisa nodded and allowed himself to be led to his room. He noted Karma’s room was organized, yet messy in the right places. Simple bedsheets, kind of like his whole apartment, bland. Somehow, in a drunken state Nagisa’s mind wanders to how put together a person is. 

The sexual tension was slowly starting to fade away, to make up for it Karma leaned down to Nagisa and cupped his face. Nagisa groaned into the kiss, allowing Karma to start using tongue. 

Easily, Karma picks Nagisa up and as if Nagisa’s done it before he wraps his legs around Karma’s waist and gets laid flat onto the bed. 

Nagisa lets go of his leg’s grip and sits up a bit, making unavoidable eye contact with Karma. He clears his throat, the proximity between the two steadily gets smaller and smaller before Karma reconnects both their lips. 

It bothers Nagisa, he’s only doing this for a mission. Somehow, during this racy encounter with what he believes to be the most attractive man in the world, he feels pity. Nagisa puts his hands on Karma’s shoulder, tugging a bit at the fabric. 

“Didn’t know you wanted to see me like this Nagisa.” Karma smiles. 

“Really? I’m just responding like how you want me to.” His response earned a raised eyebrow from Karma, reluctantly he still removed his shirt. 

“I have no idea what you mean,” Karma says with a hint of innocence. 

“I think your underwear says something different.” 

“Why are you looking?” 

“How could I not?” Nagisa starts unbuttoning his own pants, prompting Karma to do the same. Both nearly naked, vulnerable, but not uncomfortable. 

“So, what do you want to do?” Karma asks awkwardly. They’ve been playing footsie with eye contact, waiting for someone to pounce. “I mean I’ve never really had anything go up there but..” 

Nagisa flushed, and his body language seemed off putting. 

It was only his 2nd day, he didn’t expect to succeed so well. Maybe he should turn the fuel down..? Or up? Did he have to use all his 30 days.. Does he even go all the way? Maybe seduction is a slow race that ends in victory. Wow, thinking about such an innocent allegory while discussing who rams it up who. 

“Me neither.” Nagisa swallows. This is still an active mission, he reminds himself.  “You’ve always thought about that?” He grins. 

“Bending you over? Maybe.” Karma says flatly. “Is that how we’re going to do it?”

Nagisa said nothing, but it was still an answer. He looked down at Karma’s crotch. His grey boxers emphasizing his erection, needy for attention. Like his is any better. He gets himself off the bed and grabs both of Karma’s knees. 

Karma understands and opens his legs, inviting Nagisa in. From up close, Nagisa notices the wet patch that his tip seems to be growing. Nagisa dives in with his mouth and uses his teeth to try and remove Karma’s underwear. It only brings his underwear somewhat down, so much for the seduction points. He doesn’t hear any complaints from the man above him, actually he doesn’t hear anything. He looks up and it looks like Karma’s holding his breath. He nudges Karma’s upper thigh, and has him remove his underwear. 

Karma’s erection sprung out in full swing. Nagisa was kind of surprised, but he should’ve expected it. Karma is 6’1 and around 160 pounds, he should be packing downstairs or it’d be pretty disappointing. He uses his precum as a booster and starts to use his hand to stroke Karma down. 

Karma’s breath hitches and his mouth falls open. Nagisa keeps looking up and down, unsure what to focus on. He dives his mouth in and starts to suck onto Karma. Slowly licking up all the way to the head and sloppily using his mouth back down. 

“I.. don’t know where you learned this Nagisa.” Karma sheepishly groaned out. Nagisa continued to bob his head down a bit, focusing on Karma’s body language.

He pries one of Karma’s hands on the bed and puts it on top of his hair, feeling Karma’s immediate grip. He starts feeling his own throat out, testing how far he can take Karma down. He looked up with Karma still in his mouth and noticed how hazy Karma’s eyes were. He was obviously enjoying it, with Nagisa hearing him groan and bite back loud moans. Was he enjoying it because Nagisa was doing it or because the action itself is so pleasing? 

Karma ruffled his hair and shoved Nagisa’s head back down, taking Nagisa by surprise. It was more of a mood setting thing, but it’s also Karma. He used his hand to cover the extra skin that his mouth couldn’t absorb. 

Karma let out a moan, and Nagisa finds himself going back up to the tip and swirling his tongue around, trying to swallow anymore seeping precum. He pulls off trying to catch his own breath, being this is really the first time Nagisa has done something like this. He’s watched bad porn before and knows the simple basics to a blowjob. He also imagined what would be pleasurable to himself. He tucked his fly away hairs behind his ear and looked up at Karma, who now opened his eyes all the way, a little sexually frustrated that Nagisa stopped. 

Nagisa smiled cheekily at him and used his lips to grip back onto him. He adjusts himself and lowers his head down more, feeling Karma’s pubic hair touch his nose. His throat adjusted to the cock being bobbed up and down. 

Karma lets out a whine, Nagisa puts his hands on the other’s thighs, gripping onto him furiously. 

“Nagisa.. C-Close..” Karma grips onto Nagisa’s hair firmly, dragging his head closer into his crotch. 

Nagisa brings Karma further into his throat for one final bob before he releases into his mouth. The taste sets him off for a bit, never consuming semen before, this is a normal reaction. He swallowed what he could and wiped off whatever sprayed out on his face. He looked up after hearing Karma’s heavy breathing. Karma looked down at him, his eyes switched from satisfied to hungry in a matter of seconds. Nagisa gulped and sat back onto the bed. Karma reached over and grabbed the elastic band of his underwear and snapped it against his skin. Nagisa nodded shyly and slowly removed his own underwear. 

They reunite their lips together, Karma unbothered that Nagisa just had his whole dick in his mouth. 

“What do you want me to do to you Nagisa~?” Karma asked slyly. 

Nagisa looked away, his cheeks turning visibly redder. He was unsure, and didn’t know if he should be honest or stick to the mission. He obviously wanted to be with Karma, but his results are more important right now. 

“You obviously want to do something,” he said, referring to Nagisa’s erection. Nagisa nodded a him, still unsure what could be done to him. “Should I suck the soul out of you? Just like how you did to me? C’mon..” He slapped Nagisa’s leg a little bit. Nagisa spread his legs out a little more, embarrassed but determined.

“Whatever you feel like doing to me. Wreck me.” 

He hadn’t planned anything to penetrate him, but here he was having Karma finger him away. Karma behind him, his shoulders and back pressed against Karma’s body. 

“You’re pretty tight Nagisa.” Karma laughed to himself. Nagisa didn’t think it was particularly funny. 

“You’re the one who had lube in his drawer.” He rolled his eyes. Karma only had one finger in, knuckle deep. The stinging sensation passed Nagisa, and he breathed in. He got used to it, and actually began to somewhat like it. 

Nagisa bit his lip and began to roll his hips along with Karma’s thrusts. Karma lightly laughed,

“You think I can put another one in?” Nagisa nodded, and felt the slight burn of another finger being inserted. His breath hitched and let out a whine next to Karma’s ear, prompting to start going back and forth. 

Nagisa noticed his own erection left untouched, but spilling out precum every passing second. He reaches to give himself some attention, but Karma holds his arm with his remaining hand. 

“Don’t, let me see you come untouched.” Nagisa only let out a muffled moan, way too sensitive to form words. Nagisa suddenly moaned loudly and bit his lip, nearly to the point of bleeding. He found it, the already overwhelmed man’s prostate. 

“Right there, Nagisa?~” Karma bit the top of Nagisa’s ear, knowing Nagisa’s only melting further and further into his lap. 

“Ghn…” Nagisa muttered out. “Keep going, right there.” Karma pressed against his prostate and steadied himself at a pace, he didn’t want to destroy the boy. Embarrassingly, Nagisa spread his legs out the more and more he felt close to his orgasm. 

Preparing himself he held onto Karma’s arm’s, “I’m gonna.. I’m c-close..” Karma understood and kept at his pace until he saw Nagisa splatter all over his stomach and a bit on his forearm. 

“Wow.” Karma says coolly, and gets up to presumably grab a rag or something. 

If Nagisa had a tail it would be firmly between his legs, and probably remain there for the rest of his life. He can’t believe he just did that. He grabbed his underwear and carefully put it on, managing to not get any semen on him. Karma came back into the room, naked, Nagisa noted as he looked down. 

“Woah, what’s the rush? Let’s get you cleaned up.” Nagisa didn’t say anything but agreed and sat back down on the bed. Karma used the slightly damp rag and cleaned off Nagisa’s stomach. Somehow this felt more romantic than the whole encounter they just had. 

“Thank you,” Nagisa said quietly. “I should probably leave and shower at home.” 

“I mean I don’t want to force you but, you could always shower here.” Nagisa thought about it. He also thought about the advice Irina gave him, “Keep him wanting more!” 

“No it’s okay. I won’t be the only drunk on the train.” The two chuckled. He grabbed his remaining clothes and put them on, thankfully not stained. Karma watched him and also politely put his boxers back on. 

“It’s almost 11 though.”

“I can handle myself.” 

“Or I can handle you instead.” He saw Karma’s typical grin. It was really time for him to go.

“Don’t worry, text me though, okay?” Karma didn’t say anything, but reluctantly watched Nagisa leave. 

———

Now the start of day 5, and it’s now 12:30. He should really head to bed. He wonders if Karma knew that he’s never done anything with anyone. Sure, the kissing wasn’t hard to do. Nagisa’s thoughts began to spiral, interrupted by his phone vibrating twice. He checked it. 

[Karma]: What are you doing rn?

[Karma]: Kind of horny. 

Nagisa sighed and contemplated if he had the energy for it.
