Chasing For Love (Karmagisa)

Chapter 8

NAGISA'S POV

"W-w-w-what!! I-I c-can't be i-inlove with him!" I could already feel my face burning again.

"But you are, Nagisa. You can't deny what you're heart is saying." Kayano said.

"Hmm... There's no question about it. Even guys fall for Karma." Nakamura said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"So, even you guys feel this way about him?" I asked.

"Well, on your condition Nagisa. You're actually falling for him. Your feelings are romantic. I'm only just a fan of Karma. I just admire him. I actually like someone else..." Kayano said her voice suddenly sounded sad.

"Don't worry. We'll support you all the way, Nagisa! There's no doubt you guys look good together." Nakamura said patting my back.

  Our class began, but I didn't listen to Koro-sensei's lesson. My mind just continued going on about what Kayano and Nakamura said.

"You. Are. In. Love. With. Him."

Those words just kept on replaying in my mind like a broken disk. My heart just won't stop going crazy.

Do I really love Karma?

Even if I do, its an unrequited love from the first place. He would never love someone like me. I'm just a depressed low-grade junior high student. Not to mention, I'm a boy.

If the medias and press finds out that Karma Akabane is dating a guy, that will absolutely ruin his image and popularity. And also his career. I also bet his straight. Straight as a ruler.

Those thoughts hit me. I felt like I'm being stabbed by hundreds or maybe thousands of really sharp knives. It actually hurt more than I expected.

Maybe I do love him...

Another day of classes ending. I stood up and I saw Karma approaching me. And there it goes, my heart is beating rapidly again.

Just calm down, Nagisa!!

"Ready to go, Nagisa-kun?" Karma smirked down at me, when I nodded he suddenly snatched my bag away from me.

"K-karma-kun! W-what gives! Give my bag back to me!" I reached out for my bag that he's holding up high. Even when I jump up I can't reach it.

Just because he's way taller than I am he can do this to me...

He leaned down forward to my ear, "Would you rather let me carry your bag or let me... Carry you?" He whispered, his hot breath gave shivers up my spine.

My face felt like its on fire. For sure I'm blushing even redder right now, "O-okay you carry my bag." I stuttered stepping back.

He chuckled and began walking, "Come on now, Nagisa-kun." I puffed my cheeks and followed him. On the corner of my eyes I saw Kayano and Nakamura giving me a thumbs up that made me look away in embarrassment.

  Karma and I walked down the concrete sidewalk of town side by side to the newly opened cafe Karma was talking about. I just looked down on my feet as my blush went redder and redder (if that was even possible) everytime our arms brushed together.

Crap! Crap! Crap! My heart is pounding so fast and so loud it feels like Karma could even hear it.

I continued looking down until Karma grabbed my arm pulling me to a stop.

"Where are you going? We're already here."I looked up and saw a cafe. Karma walked in still holding my arm so he's technically dragging me.

We both sat down in a table near the window then a waitress came and gave us both a menu. I looked at the menu and my mouth just gaped when I saw how expensive their cakes are. This is way beyond my budget! But... They all looked really delicious.

"Come on. You can order, Nagisa," Karma said, "Don't worry, its my treat!"

I suddenly looked up, my eyes sparkling, "REALLY?!"

I blushed when I just realized what I just said. I looked down, beginning stutter, "I-I mean, o-okay... I-if you say so,"

Man, I just embarrassed myself!

"So, what shall be your order?" The waitress asked patiently. A note pad and pen in her hand, ready to take our orders

I scanned through the menu, finding the least most expensive cake they got here, when I found one I turned to the waitress to give my order, "Uh, c-can I have one slice of blueberry cheesecake, please?"

Karma chuckled and looked at the waitress, "One slice of strawberry shortcake for me."

The waitress smiled, writing down our said orders, "Your order will be here shortly." She excused herself and left.

I looked at Karma, "Are you sure this isn't too much, Karma-kun?" I asked whispering his name softly cause we don't want to attract any fans.

"Nah, don't worry." He smiled.

Finally, our orders arrived. My eyes stared at the ice cream sundae that was placed on our table together with the cakes. I looked at the waitress in confusion,

"Um... We only ordered two cakes. We didn't order an ice cream sundae." I said.

The waitress smiled. "Yes, but we have a limited promo of giving free ice cream sundae to sweet couples like you for our opening." She said and left.

My eyes widened in surprise my face just heated up to the max.

S-SWEET C-C-COUPLE?!!

I looked at Karma and he's just smirking. Maybe she just mistaken me to be a girl.

"K-karma-kun, we should-- W-we know we're both guys. We should--" I stammered already internally panicking.

"Its okay. Its not that bad. At least we got free ice cream" He shrugged and said it like he doesn't mind the misinterpretation. "Don't worry,"

We quickly ate our cakes and we ate the sundae before it melted. My heart is going crazy. Karma and I are sharing one ice cream sundae; mistaken to be a couple.

As we ate, I heard Karma chuckle, I looked at him and he was staring at me. I gave him a confused look,

"What is it, Karma-kun?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"Stay still for a sec, Nagisa-kun." He cupped and held my chin up as he leaned forward, his face just centimeters away from mine. He tilted his head to the other side.

"K-karma-kun, wh-wha-what are you--" Then I felt him lick the side of my mouth.

He sat straight, licking his lips and smirked. "Tastes really good, isn't it, Nagisa-kun?"

My face automatically turned beet red that I bet it could battle against his hair, I stuttered, "Wh-why d-did you d-do that?"

"There was ice cream on your face." He answered, the smug smirk still plastered on his face.

"Y-you sh-should've just told me. I-I could have wipe it off," I said, still stuttering as I looked around trying to avoid eye contact.

"C'mon, no harm done." He laughed and caressed my cheeks, "Beside, you look extremely cute when you blush." He said and winked cockily

"Sh-shut up!"

He just laughed and we continued finishing the ice cream. After eating, Karma paid and I promised him I'll pay him back but he rejected it. Then he walked me home.

Out of all people in the world, why do I have to fall for someone like him?
