English isn't my native language. Sorry for grammar errors.

The characters may gone OOC in some occasions, so please notice me if you found anything weird. I dedicate this fanfic for my precious OTP, because they seriously lack of fanarts and fanfics.

The stories are somewhat connected from one to another. That way, this is not really one-shots.

Now, please enjoy~

Sketch 1: Pigtails

"Nagisa-kun," Kayano called a bluenette boy beside her. Nagisa turned to her.

"I don't understand this question. Can you help me?" Kayano passed her notebook to Nagisa.

It was a usual English lesson with Bitch-sensei, and she gave some quiz to the class. But Bitch-sensei seemed more bitchy today. Maybe something was up between her and Karasuma-sensei, or even maybe with Koro-sensei.

Therefore, Kayano didn't feel like asking to Bitch-sensei. Not to mention her hatred towards Bitch-sensei's big breasts.

"Umm… Sorry. Maybe Nakamura-san can help," Nagisa rejected. Kayano only nodded.

Something is off, thought Kayano inside her head. Not only Nagisa frankly rejected her without trying to help, but it was also another thing.

Why he doesn't tie his hair in pigtails?

Kayano was concerned. This morning, when Kayano greeted him, he only responded it with a smile, and then he went off to Sugino. He also didn't chat or anything with Kayano. Also his hair. He let it loose.

Kayano was still thinking every probability she could think as she walked to Nakamura's desk. She was afraid that he might already know her identity, so he didn't want to cover her up anymore. Other than that, she also felt another concerning feeling that she couldn't comprehend…..

Does he hate me? Avoiding me? What did I do wrong?

"You understand now, Kayano?" Nakamura's words snapped Kayano back to her reality.

"Uh-yes. Thank you, Nakamura!" Kayano thanked her.

Right when she was about to walk back to her seat, Nakamura pulled Kayano's hand back to grab her attention. "Kayano."

Kayano startled and turned to Nakamura. "Yes?"

Nakamura stared to her eyes sharply. "Are you in couple fight?"

"Huh?"

"You see. Nagisa doesn't wear that matching hairstyle with you."

"Eh? Yes. I'm aware of that. Maybe he wants to use another hairstyle today. Yeah," said Kayano uncertainly. Nakamura raised an eyebrow.

"So you're not in couple fight?"

"No way! And we're not a couple!"

"Heheh. But you will be a cute couple if you do." Nakamura giggled. Kayano sweatdropped and walked back to her seat.

"Time's up! Now get back to your seat," Bitch-sensei clapped her hands and the class sat back neatly.

"Now we'll test your conversation skill. Please find a partner in one minute!" Bitch-sensei commanded and knocked the blackboard eraser to the wall.

The class suddenly turned noisy. Seems like everybody already has someone in mind. Kayano too. And it was no other than the boy beside her. She glanced at him. He didn't move from his desk. Should she ask him to be her partner? Maybe that way, she could ask nagisa about his hairstyle.

"Kayano! Please partner up with me!" Kanzaki suddenly showed up in front of her desk. Kayano glanced again at Nagisa. He looked both at Kanzaki and Kayano, and then he turned back and asked Sugino to partner up with him.

Kayano couldn't help but feel concerned.

"Sure!" Kayano beamed.

O

Finally, going home. Kayano put all her belongings randomly to her bag. She still hadn't find out Nagisa's problem. Maybe this time, when they walk home together, she'll ask him for sure.

She was about to ask Nagisa to walk home with her. Nagisa was showing his back to her, which made Kayano could see his loose hair clearly. And so, a bother feeling started to fill her mind.

What if he doesn't want to talk to me?

"Okuda, let's walk home together!" Kayano exclaimed as she slung her bag to her shoulder. Okuda, who was still tidying her books, turned to her.

"Okay. But can you wait a moment? I want to submit my Japanese homework to Koro-sensei," Okuda answered.

"Alright! I'll wait in front of the gate!" Kayano stated. Okuda nodded. Then she walked out and waved her hand to Kayano.

Kayano waved back. When Okuda was out of her sight, she sighed. In the end, it was her who avoiding Nagisa. She was upset, and possibly disappointed. Literally, it was because Nagisa didn't tie his hair in pigtails.

It's not like I obligate him to tie his hair in pigtails like me. It's just….

Kayano grunted inside her mind. She was frustrated that she couldn't think any possible reason.

Shoot. I'm just selfish. That's all.

She glanced again at Nagisa who already walked outside with Sugino and Karma.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll ask him.

Kayano walked out from the class and go to the gate. When she got there, she saw Nakamura climbing up the mountain, to her direction.

"Why are you coming back? Are you gonna stay the night here?" Kayano asked kiddingly.

"Do you see me like I'm going to do that? No. I want to do an assassination plan," Nakamura answered. She took a bit time to pause and examine Kayano. And then she asked, "Huh? What are you doing here? Aren't you going home?"

"I'm waiting for Okuda."

"But Nagisa has gone home earlier. It's un….usual…..," Nakamura lowered her voice as she realized Kayano's change of face.

Her face was making an ugly expression. She shifted her eyes. Her lips not lifted up even a bit. She was doubtlessly uncomfortable with Nakamura's statement.

"Umm… You two are in fight for real, right?" Nakamura asked bluntly. But Kayano kept shaking her head.

"No, we're not. Maybe he just wants to go home with the others."

"Then why didn't you join them?"

"Eh…. And I want to go home with Okuda, perhaps?" Kayano forcefully grinned. Just go away please…

"Oh. I see. Well then, I'm going now. Wish me luck!" Nakamura patted Kayano's shoulder and walked to Class E building.

Kayano watched her from afar. Are we in a fight? I don't think so…

Not awhile after that, she saw Okuda walked to her direction.

"Let's go!" Okuda exclaimed.

"How was it?"

"Hm? What?"

"You homework."

"It's not bad. I still commit some failure though," Okuda smiled bitterly and scratched her head.

"You should learn from Kanzaki more." Kayano patted Okuda's back.

"Phew. I know. How about we study together this weekend?"

"Good idea. Where?"

"The town library? My house?"

"Alright!" Kayano showed Okuda thumbs up.

"Should we invite the boys too?" Okuda offered. Kayano didn't answer.

"Like Nagisa-kun, Karma-kun, and Sugino-kun….." Kayano still didn't say a word.

"Oh! What about we study at Nagisa's house? We never go there, right?"

Quiet.

"Kayano?" Okuda tilted her head. She shocked when she saw Kayano's uncomfortable expression.

"Eeh-um…uh…if you don't agree, maybe we should go to Karma's house then…," Okuda scratched her cheek.

"No! It's okay! I mean, your house is okay. No need to be anywhere fancy," Kayano grinned. Okuda only smiled. She felt it. Something was wrong with Kayano.

Okuda gazed in front of her and she noticed something yellow there. Swiftly, Okuda pointed at the something yellow.

"Oh! Koro-sensei!" Okuda exclaimed. Kayano lifted her head and frowned.

"Okuda-san!" Koro-sensei waved his tentacles and quickly approached Okuda.

"You made a massive mistake at your homework. Come with me and we'll repair it!" Koro-sensei lifted Okuda and tucked her inside his uniform.

"Eee….eehh?!"

"Wait. Nakamura was going to assassinate you right?" Kayano stopped Koro-sensei before he flew with his Mach 20.

"Nurufufufu. She failed. It seems like so. I sincerely apologize, Kayano. I think you have to walk home alone. Or maybe not! See you later!" Koro-sensei fled.

Kayano froze.

"…or maybe not?" Kayano raised an eyebrow. She wondered what he meant by that…

"Kayano."

Not until she noticed somebody was approaching her.

A petite frame walked to her direction. His long blue hair swung by the breeze. He walked hesitantly, but he kept on walking.

Kayano stunned in her place. She didn't know what to do. Run? Or say 'hi'?

That expression… Does he know my real identity? Is he going to interrogate me? What should I do?, Kayano sweated.

Nah. If he ever gonna do something, I'll use my tentacles. But I hope I can continue deceiving him.

But there was a feeling other than the later. It's not that she was afraid of him knowing her true identity. It's different…

I don't want to lose a friend.

"Kayano, wanna go home together?" Nagisa finally stood in front of Kayano and asked. Kayano pursued her lips. "Fine."

So then, they walked in silent to their homes. In Kayano's mind, she deeply wanted to ask Nagisa about his hair. And Nagisa himself, he was seriously curious to dead of why Kayano was avoiding him.

The silence was very annoying, and awkward, and unpleasant. Nobody was saying a thing. All they heard was their light footsteps and the soothing sounds of people chattering.

Kayano kept glimpsing at Nagisa's hair, still curious of his reason, and curious why she herself bothered by it. And Nagisa neither tilted nor turned his head to Kayano. He kept facing forward and walked beside Kayano, tried to match his footsteps with hers.

In secrecy, Kayano observed Nagisa's profile and bitterly admitted his beauty from aside. If it's Nagisa, people will probably think he is my female friend. Especially with his hair loose like this, Kayano smirked at the thought and giggled inside her head.

Nagisa was conscious with Kayano observing him. He wanted to talk to her, since it was his main objective for asking Kayano to go home with him. He had to talk sooner. Otherwise, he'd fail and separated with her before he even talks.

When they were already walked halfway, Nagisa stopped suddenly. Kayano stepped one or two before she realized that he was staying in his position. She stopped too, and turned back to face him.

"Um?" Kayano raised her eyebrows. She gazed at the bluenette who was standing anxiously. His one hand gripped his bag tightly, and his other hand scratched his temple.

"Do you want to buy an ice cream?" Nagisa asked, but he didn't look into Kayano's eyes. Kayano took this chance to get a nice mood.

"But you pay, okay?" Kayano smiled.

"Okay!" Nagisa smiled back.

They walked to a nearby ice cream kiosk, guided by Nagisa. Kayano picked an ice cream with bubblegum flavor, while Nagisa picked a regular chocolate flavor.

Kayano thought, they'd walk while finishing their ice cream. But Nagisa dragged her to a bench.

"Ng… Kayano, are you mad at me?" Nagisa asked Kayano straight ahead, right after they sat down. Kayano was surprised with the direct question. And also, she was surprised that Nagisa thought she was mad at him.

"Huh? I'm not! How could you come to that conclusion?" Kayano shook her head continuously. Nagisa shrugged and licked his ice cream.

"I thought you were avoiding me. Like when in English, you partner up with Kanzaki. And you also asked Okuda to go home with you, without asking me first…..," Nagisa paused. He suddenly sputtered, "W-w-well, it-it is not like you need to come to me first before you ask the others. O-oh! I see! You also want to make more friends right? Haha. Oh well, I'm sorry I was so easily jumping to conclusions. I truly apologize." Nagisa abruptly stood up and bowed down to Kayano.

Kayano wrinkled her forehead in confuse. It took her 3 seconds until everything snapped to her mind. She chuckled and pulled Nagisa back to his seat.

"You know, I did that because I thought it was you who were avoiding me." Kayano was amused.

"Why?"

"This morning, I greeted you, but you only answered it with a smile. You also didn't speak to me. All you did was talking with Sugino or the other. So yeah, I guessed, you were avoiding me," Kayano explained. She turned her head to the boy beside her. "Now you see, I was the stupid one," she added with a smile.

"Is that so? I'm sorry then," Nagisa apologized again. "Oh, and good morning!"

"…what?"

"That's the delayed answer," Nagisa smiled. Kayano smiled back amusedly.

"Before I went to school today, I was having a fight with my mom, again. So then, I think it ruined my mood and I acted ignorant towards you. Do you forgive me?" Nagisa apologized , again.

"This is a misunderstanding, so I forgive you. And anyway, how many times have you apologized?"

"A lot."

They laughed together. And then they finished their ice cream in silent, now a pleasant one.

Yes, Kayano hadn't asked one more thing. Because she thought it was humiliating. And it's possible that Nagisa would think she is selfish. She didn't want that.

When they finally ate their whole ice cream, Nagisa stood up and extended a hand to Kayano. "Let's go home."

Kayano accepted the hand and stood up. Then they walked side by side.

"You know…"

"Actually…"

They talked in an exact one time. They faced each other in surprise.

"You first," Kayano told Nagisa. But Nagisa refused.

"No, you say it first,"

Kayano doubted for a moment. She inhaled. And exhaled. When she finally found enough courage, she nodded.

"There is another thing that makes me think you're mad at me," Kayano admitted. Nagisa raised his eyebows.

"That is what I want to say too."

"Is it? Then, what's yours?" Kayano asked curiously.

"Umm…..," Nagisa took a time to hesitate. "I thought you were mad because I didn't tie my hair in pigtails," Nagisa grinned wryly. Kayano's jaw dropped. She was utterly shocked.

"And you know, I thought you didn't tie your hair in pigtails because you were mad at me," now Kayano grinned. Nagisa couldn't help but amused.

"So…," Nagisa scratched his head. "Our misunderstanding is majorly caused by my hairstyle today?" Said Nagisa. Kayano nodded and laughed. Nagisa let out a sigh.

"I woke up late today. And so, I prepared everything in rush. When I was about to tie my hair, I couldn't find my hair bands. I asked my mom, but she acted nonchalant. That's the root of our fight. She said that I should let my hair loose so I'd look more girly. So then, I went to school without my pigtails, and with ruined mood," Nagisa explained. Kayano nodded to his statement.

They continued walking in a pleasant silent. Kayano tried to think of something to regain Nagisa's cheeriness.

"If that's the case, then….," Kayano stopped walking and moved her hands to her hair. She pulled her hair bands and untied her pigtails. Her green long hair fell flawlessly to her shoulder. Then she tilted her head to Nagisa and smiled joyfully. "I'll accompany you!"

Nagisa was completely shut his lips. He was amazed by Kayano's action. Not to mention her cuteness with her hair undone. Bliss filled his heart and he smiled.

"Kayano…," Nagisa called her. "You're a very great friend, you know," Nagisa said gratefully.

Kayano stopped walking and stared at Nagisa. Her eyes shifted and her lips pursued into a thin line. A guilty feeling crept into her head.

Kayano nodded and smiled forcefully. "Thanks!" She exclaimed. Nagisa ruffled her hair. Then they continued walking.

This will only take awhile. After this, he'll hate me for sure. There is no need to be grateful towards his praising. I have to keep on deceiving him and the class.

"Nagisa, do you want to join me and Okuda in a group study next weekend?"

"Sure. Who else is coming?"

"I don't know. It's possible that Okuda or Kanzaki will invite the whole class," Kayano grinned.

"Oh, you should count me in then!"

O

"It's a success Koro-sensei! Thank you!" Nakamura yelped and hugged a yellow slimy huge creature while kept attacking him with her anti-sensei knife.

"So… Kayano and Nagisa were in a fight?" Okuda, who was standing beside Nakamura, asked. She was still confused. Yet she spied Kayano and Nagisa from afar with a telescope in her hands.

"Kind of. Maybe it was a mere misunderstanding. Koro-sensei, what were you telling Nagisa?" Nakamura asked.

"I told him that Kayano was upset at him. Nagisa didn't even notice that, you know."

"He is one of the dense guy?!" Nakamura shrieked.

"Yeah, possibly. And then, I told him to be gentle and stop acting like a girl. I never thought he'd ask Kayano to a brief date," Koro-sensei paused and his face turned pink. "But that 'undoing her pigtails' action by Kayano was very heartwarming. Maybe I should make them as second candidate other than Karasuma and Irina for my novel. Nurufufu," Koro-sensei let out an evil laugh. Okuda and Nakamura sweatdropped.

"That is a great idea! But you've to face me first!" Nakamura exclaimed and tossed three anti-sensei knifes to Koro-sensei. But, exactly like we hoped, he dodged it.

"Sorry, Nakamura-san! I don't have time! I have to continue writing my novel! Nyuaaa!" He fled.

"Tch," Nakamura snorted. Okuda patted her back.

"Nakamura, do you want to join me in a group study next weekend?"

"Hm? Okay. Who else is there?"

"Maybe the whole class!"

Nakamura smiled. "And we're gonna invite Koro-sensei too, right?"

Okuda nodded in excitement.

"Then, I'll help you invite everybody!"

"Thank you, Nakamura!"

O
