The Serpent Inside (A Karmagisa Fanfiction)

10: Dinner

The doorbell rang.

Karma went to it and opened the door to see Karasuma and Irina waiting outside.

"Karma, nice to see you!" Irina pulled the tall boy into a hug.

"Nice to see you too Irina, come on in." He motioned the two inside.

"There are four plates, who is joining us?" Karasuma asked, instantly taking note of the extra plate.

"Are they here yet Karma? I'm almost down!"

Irina and Karasuma's eyes widened as they heard the voice.

"That sounds like..." Karasuma breathily muttered.

Nagisa came down the stairs just to see Irina and Karasuma staring at him wide-eyed.

Instantly he started looking sheepish as he stopped at the bottom of the stairs.

"H-Hi..." He stuttered, waving.

Not waiting another second, Irina sprinted over and clasped Nagisa into a hug, crying her eyes out. Karasuma joined the hug not long after, crying as well. Nagisa began to cry as he hugged back.

"I've missed you." He sobbed out.

"We've missed you too Son." Karasuma looked to his son with joy in his eyes.

"It's been years, Nagisa! Years! And you just now came back to us!" Irina sobbed as she held Nagisa close.

"Sorry... I didn't get the chance to leave until now..." Nagisa admitted.

"Where were you?" Karasuma asked.

Nagisa looked down, having been released from Irina's hold.

"I was working with the Reaper... to become a professional... he'd been training me until I started thinking about quitting. He told me about Kayano-chan being Yukimura Akari, and I went to kill her... I didn't! But I was going to until Rio and Karma convinced me she was sorry. It's only been a few days since I've been staying with Karma." Nagisa explained.

"Nagisa and I have a deal that if I can fight off anyone who tries to take Nagisa back to the Reaper for a whole month he'll stay with us permanently." Karma added himself to the conversation.

"Karma you better not lose this deal."

"Because I swear..."

"Don't worry I won't. I only make bets I know I'll win." Karma smirked.

"Well we'll have to trust you boy. Make us proud." Karasuma looked to his other almost-son.

"Wouldn't dream of letting you down. Shall we eat?" Karma motioned towards the table.

"Looks good Karma. A lot of meat." Irina stated.

Nagisa laughed and took a step backwards, turning his face into his left hand to hide as the other curled around his middle.

"Yeah that's my fault, my diet's a little different now that I'm even more snake-y than before."

"Well that's not going to stop us from loving you. Come on, let's eat." Karma gave Nagisa a small kiss on his hand before sitting down and passing out food to be eaten.

Nagisa sat down as well and ate his food happily.

At the end of the night, Irina spoke up.

"Hey Nagisa, why don't you spend a night at our place."

"Well I don't want to leave Karma alone if someone comes for him." Nagisa admitted.

"Karma can come as well." Karasuma inserted.

"Come on Nagisa, it'll be fun!" Irina bubbled. Nagisa looked to Karma, who nodded.

"Alright, why not!" Nagisa smiled as he and Karma went upstairs to get some clothes and the things they'd need for an overnight stay.

"LET'S GO!!!!!"
