Nagisa couldn't believe the situation he was in, the poor boy was stuck in a changing room in the mall with a loose fitting magenta halter top which gave the illusion of breasts, and a tight black mini skirt, and gray thigh high stockings, with red pumps, and makeup to match it all. His mother had decided she wanted to take her daughter out to the mall to do some shopping.

Nagisa, not wanting to upset his mother lest she have an episode and abuse him; went through with the outfit. He was thinking, but more than anything, hoping that no one he knew was going to the mall at this time but he was wrong, horribly wrong. Asano and his 5 goons were out walking the mall.

He'd even seen a couple of class E students walking around and that's what lead him to his current predicament. The boy had ditched his mother and locked himself in the nearest changing room in a shop he hopes his mother won't look in or anyone from his school for that matter.

He has no spare clothes and is dressed as a beautiful girl, Nagisa thought to himself 'Even with the training we get in Koro-sensei's class this store isn't close enough to any exit that I could leave completely undetected from.' The boy sighed and sat in the changing room stewing in a rut wishing he had a better plan out of there.

Nagisa heard a knock on the changing room door and a familiar voice. "Nagisa, I know you're in there. Let me in if you want to escape with a shred of your dignity." It was Karma Akabane, while Nagisa was glad to have someone on his side he wasn't exactly sure how helpful Karma would be; especially in such a delicate situation like this.

But nonetheless he let the red head in and Karma. Karma spoke again "So, I see your mother has been treating you like a doll again." He tossed Nagisa a girl's wig, it was a fairly long wig filled with shiny black hair along with a pair of black sunglasses.

Nagisa thanked Karma and proceeded to put on the wig and shades. But then asked "If you had money to buy this stuff why didn't you buy me pants?" Karma shrugged.

The ace replied "I didn't have enough money for pants, have you seen how much pants costs here? Its highway robbery here I tell ya". Nagisa was side eyeing Karma because of the answer he gave but was still grateful he at least had a disguise now. Karma then said "Take off your stockings,"

"Why?" was the only word Nagisa could muster up at Karma.

Karma answered coolly "because you came here with your mother and she's going to recognize you with those on, and put on my jacket." Karma handed his crossdressing friend his jacket.

Nagisa had started to take off the stocking and sat on the bench in the changing room he lifted up his right leg and began to roll down his stocking. During this time Nagisa had noticed that Karma was still looking at him rolling his stockings down his legs, and was probably able to see his underwear briefs under his mini skirt. Nagisa asked dryly "Do you mind?"

Karma replied with a smirk "Not at all, but I'm a little disappointed, no panties? And it's a shame because your butt is the perfect shape for it too" Nagisa threw his right stocking at Karma and that made him snort. "Geez, Nagisa fine, I won't look."

Nagisa had finished getting dressed in piece and buttoned up Karma's black jacket. He and Karma walked out of the changing room and tried his best not to make eye contact with anyone working there. The red pumps were starting to take their toll on his feet so he ended up leaning on Karma and holding on to his left arm for support.

Karma was surprisingly quiet and helped Nagisa to find the exit of the mall and that's when they saw it. There was a type of trivia contest being held in the mall for various prizes a promotional stunt for a bookstore and clothing store who teamed up for the stunt.

One of the prizes was a purse that Nagisa's mother desperately wanted but couldn't afford. The crossdresser hoped that if he got his mother that purse then she'd be happy enough to excuse the fact he'd ditched her, and use the purse as an excuse as to why he did. He explained this to Karma who nodded in agreement, but the purse was a prize in who could answer the most questions in literature.

Nagisa in all of his wobbly red pumped glory went to contest as Nagachiko. One of the other contestants was one of the top 5 students from class A, Ren Sakakibara he had a bishounen good looks and smooth words, but Nagisa didn't care he was going to win that goddamn purse to much was on the line for him in his own life and he wasn't about to let this bozo get to him. Even more upsetting said bishounen wordsmith was trying to come on to him.

He now understood the full depth of why women hated guys who kept trying to come on to them even though they've made it clear they needed to piss off, now in the same vein that the brunette was doing. That brunette had grabbed his hand kissed it and prattled on some lines from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" comparing Nagisa to a summer's day before he finished his affected line Nagisa had yanked back his kissed hand.

Nagisa looked out at the tiny audience gathering around, and the people waiting around to compete in other contests and say the other virtuosos there along with Asano. He was glad to see that Karma hadn't picked a fight with them. Yet. Karma can't help himself, or anyone else sometimes and the blue haired boy was grateful that for today the delinquent could let things go.

The announcer started the contest and the first question was aimed at "Nagachiko"

"What author wrote a dystopian depiction of the Russian revolution involving farm animals and the name of said book?"

Nagisa answered in a voice which was an octave higher than his normal speaking tone. "George Orwell, and the book was 'Animal Farm'"

The next question went to Ren "Who wrote the book "Catcher in the Rye"?" Ren flipped his hair and answered "Earnest Hemmingway"

The rounds went back and forth between Nagisa, Ren and the other competitors. And Karma was pleasantly surprised to see that Nagisa didn't seem troubled at all up there answering those questions. Koro-sensei's teaching must have really been paying off. Unknown to Karma, Nagisa's feet were slowly killing themselves in the red pumps, as he was glad that he only had to stand in one place for the contest.

It came down to the final question with Ren and Nagisa the question was "What book is this quote from, who wrote it and who are the characters repeating the line? You two will both have the chance to answer, if you are both correct then we'll move on to a tie breaker question. Ren Sakakibara, is first to answer, here is the quote "As I left his mansion that day and returned to my home, I turned back to say one last time 'You were worth the whole damn bunch, you know that the whole damn bunch!' end quote Ren please submit your answers"

Ren answered saying "the book is 'The Great Gatsby' the author is Fitzgerald, and the character saying the quote is Tom Buchanan to Jay Gatsby the titular character." He was self-assured in his answer and the announcer went to ask "Nagachiko" the same question.

Nagisa answered "The book is 'The Great Gatsby' it's written by F. Scott Fitzgerald who also took some lines from his current wife at the time, Zelda Syre, and the character saying the quote is Nick Carraway to Jay Gatsby,"

The announcer went to get the correct answer from the bookstore keeper since they had lost the card that had the answer and, Ren took this opportunity to talk to "Nagachiko" saying "My, dear it seems that your beauty is only matched by your intellect, but don't fret though you've contested hard for that handbag I shall bestow it to you as a gift. And perhaps you shall accompany me, and my friends to the restaurant around the corner from the mall?"

Nagisa could not roll his eyes fast enough, or throw shade hard enough, at Ren, but before he could throw shade at Ren; Karma had chimed in to give his two–cents with all his sparkling wit. "Hey! HEY! Don't ask out other peoples' women I paid hard money for that girl, like hell she's going out with you."

Nagisa was blushing various shades of pink and red, and was about to yell at Karma but that's when the host and announcer came back and said "Nagachiko, had the correct answer; this purse now belongs to her!" Nagisa took his winnings and looked for Karma who had mysteriously vanished by the time he got out of the contest area. Asano and the four other virtuosos came to comfort Ren, well the other virtuosos were there to comfort Ren, Asano was more interested in checking out "Nagachiko".

Asano looked Nagisa from head to toe but it didn't feel like he was interested in "her" romantically, but more like a predator sizing up its prey. Asano walked over to Nagisa and stuck up a conversation "Why, you seem like a smart, young girl, are you aware of that the young man who thinks you're his 'woman' has a history of violent behavior, and even attacked a fellow member of his class?"

Nagisa kept up his Nagachiko voice and said "I've known Karma Akabane for a long time, I know the type of person he is, he knows the type of person I am and he accepts me for that person, as I accept him. I'm well aware that he's violent, but I can deal with it." After answering Asano's question Nagisa turned to walk away Asano pulled on the jacket sleeve Nagisa was wearing, Nagisa lost balance, and Asano caught him before he toppled over to the floor.

Nagisa was happy that he didn't fall on the floor, but was extremely uncomfortable with Asano holding him. And it didn't help that that had to be the moment when Karma came back into sight looking pretty pissed. And it wasn't till then that Nagisa noticed that Asano had put his hands on Nagachiko's hips suspiciously low almost on his ass, and that Nagisa himself was leaning in Asano's chest.

Nagisa let go of Asano, he did not want to see this train wreck play out and let himself fall to the floor. Karma then stopped looking at Asano and went to help the blue haired boy up. The red head smiled crookedly at his friend and helped him up. The other virtuosos seemed to have a bone to pick with Karma and yelled "How the hell did you get a girlfriend, you psycho!?"

Nagisa on his last nerve replied "I'm not his girlfriend!"

Karma nodded his head in agreement and said "That's right she's not my girlfriend," he got down on one knee and pull out a ring he'd gotten from a cracker-jack box and said " Nagachiko, if you would do me the honor of making me the happiest man in the mall, marry me?"

The current crossdresser answered "Sure, why not got nothing else going on in my life. Wait, what happiest man in the mall don't you mean world?" Nagisa couldn't even make an attempt to put up with anyone, at this point Karma would always tease him but come on still, if you can't beat'em join'em am I right?

Karma shrugged "I'll become the happiest man in the world on our honeymoon night, wink, wink, nudge, nudge you get the innuendo." Karma slid the cracker-jack ring on Nagisa's left hand picked him up bridal style and left Asano, and company.

Nagisa face palmed, and sighed.

Or well they tried as the 5 virtuosos were yelling at Nagisa and Karma about their relationship how Nagachiko's too good and pure for Karma.

Karma gave them the back the hell up death glare and all of them, backed off except Asano. Asano said "I know I've seen that girl somewhere before and I know she isn't in class E, where are you from and what are you doing here with him?"

Nagisa retorted "I'm from the land of dream, and maybe we've met before in a past life, I don't know, I know I've never seen you've before so you must be wrong."

Asano narrowed his eyes but his voice was calm and collected almost soothing "I know, I'm not wrong I've seen you and you've seen me and students at are school aren't allowed to date, much less marry, Akabane."

Karma just said back "Oh, well guess she's just my sex slave then, pretty sure we don't have any rules about that at school now do we." If sided eyeing could kill someone Karma Akabane would have been dead 1000 times over by now and the culprit would be, Nagisa Shiota.

Asano's composure didn't drop nor did he miss a beat "Having a sex slave is morally reprehensible and will get you expelled from school."

Karma replied "Well, I guess she's a prostitute, and I'm her frequent client." Without Asano missing so much as a twitch in his brow had a comeback

"That girl is about the same age as us so, being a client means you support child prostitution, and prostitution, are both illegal crimes so, still expelled." Nagisa had tuned out of the argument at this point and just wondering about all the things he wished he was doing instead.

Karma said "Then she's just some girl, who gives me lovin' no strings attached and no exchange of money."

Asana was again quick with a comeback "No students can enter a sexual relationship at all while attending school that includes vacations and days off so long as you will be coming back to attend as a student."

Karma slightly annoyed said "Oh, well can't prove stuff outside of school without physical evidence" Now a tiny group of class E students had formed around looking to see what had who was arguing with the top students in their school only to see Karma's altercation with Asano, not much of a surprise.

Although the class E students that were there Okuda, Kanazaki, Kayano were there shocked that Karma had a girl. Along with Teresaka's small gang that were also in the mall watching the conflict go down also confounded by this discovery. Though everyone had the same thought what girl was desperate enough to go out with a dangerous guy, like Karma?

Karma shouted " I don't care about any of you!" at Asano and the 5 virtuosos and looked over at his classmates "I need some privacy, guys clear out I got to have some serious conversation with my girl here. Seriously get lost."

Karma picked up the pace and ran out the mall holding Nagisa like a bride. Nagisa had to make sure he had a good hold on his wig, and save himself the embarrassment of being found out, the only person who seemed to have an inkling about who he really was Asano, and it's not as if they'd run into each other and talk to one another on a day to day basis. Nagisa thought that there had to be someone looking out for him today because he got out of this without anyone realizing it was him and a gift for his mother.

Karma stopped running when he felt he was a good difference from the mall about four blocks away to Karma's house, more specifically Karma's room. He put Nagisa down. Karma also revealed that he had brought a pair of pants and flat shoes for the blue haired boy. And in that moment, Nagisa felt as though he reached a zen where he could only feel joy finally the pain and humiliation of the crappy skirt and shoes would finally be over the kid almost felt as if he floated away to cloud nine. The disguised boy didn't even noticed that Karma was leading him to a room until the redhead had shut the door.

Karma pushed Nagisa on the bed. Nagisa while not scared was extremely confused. "Karma, what are you doing?"

The red head smiled at him honestly "I need to tell you something, Nagisa."

"What?" The crossdressing boy said while taking off his wig and shades, with wide eyes.

Karma sighed, and looked Nagisa in the eyes and spoke confidently in a soft voice. "I need you to know this time I'm not teasing you, or playing around. I know I mess around sometimes and back there at the mall was one of them. But I like you, Nagisa in a way that's more than friends. I know everyone in your life that was supposed to love you, ended up hurting you, like your mother." Karma grabbed the blue haired boy's hand.

"I know I can be an overwhelming person, but I promise to always be good to you if you'd have me, and I always keep my promises."

Nagisa didn't know what to say. But he could feel that Karma was being sincere throughout the entire confession though. And Karma holding his hand felt kind of nice. "Karma, I don't know much about relationships, but I think I could give this a try if you want to.''

A big cheeky grin plastered Karma's face, he pulled Nagisa in a hug "That, actually went a lot better than I expected it to." Nagisa blushed and hugged Karma back.

Nagisa, looked up at Karma and went in to give what he thinks is his new boyfriend a kiss on the cheek, but the ace had moved his face and it ended up on the corner of his mouth. Pulled Nagisa into a proper kiss. Now Nagisa hasn't kissed a lot of people in his life so far, but he like to think as far as kissing goes, it's going pretty well. Karma's being gentle but adding in pressure, Nagisa trying to keep up with the red head.

Nagisa broke the kiss, for air gasping he didn't even know how long they'd been kissing, probably wasn't more than two minutes but to a novice like Nagisa it felt longer. Karma started to place chaste kisses Nagisa's neck, nipping the blue haired boy in places he'd thought he would be sensitive in; trying to rile him up. Nagisa turning red and pushing Karma off him. "Karma, it's too much, please stop for now."

The ace backed off Nagisa, he wanted to make his new boyfriend hot and heavy not uncomfortable and untrusting of him. Nagisa smiled at Karma and looked at him with tired eyes. It'd been a long day for the crossdresser and he'd still have to deal with his mother later on. "Hey, Karma will you walk me home?"

"Whatever, you want, Nagi, I'll do."

Nagisa willed himself off the Karma's bed otherwise he would have fallen asleep. He put the get up he'd wore in the mall in a bag.

Karma put his arm around Nagisa's shoulder as they walked out of the red-head's oom. Nagisa

They had a peaceful walk home and none of their classmates saw them quietly walked. By the time Nagisa got inside the house his mother ambushed him. "Where were you?" she shouted.

"I saw some clothes I wanted to buy and that purse you liked was on special so I went to purchase it. Apparently they were out of stock so I waited all day until they refilled, also again it was on sale so I got it at a good price." The blue haired boy replied.

His mother nodded and grabbed one of his pig tails toying with the hair. Nagisa had small shutters with the action "That's sweet of you, but why didn't you call me?"

"My phone was dead and I took the train home." She seemed to buy the answer and let go of the boy's pig tail. Nagisa was about to go to his room until he heard his mother speak once more.

"Ok, sorry for overreacting, just one last thing though, who was that guy who walked you home he seemed to be getting awfully familiar with you?" Nagisa sighed and said.

"He's my classmate, Karma Akabane, he's known I've been your daughter for a long time, and didn't want to see a young lady walking home by herself in the dark."

Nagisa's mother seemed to be taken back by the answer, but nodded. "Nagisa, you should stay away from that kid there's just something about him that makes me feel like he's someone troubling you know?"

Nagisa said "I'll try my best mother." He didn't mean a single word of it and walked off into his room.

The next day at school Karma and Nagisa acted very casual around each other. Karma didn't care if people knew he liked guys or that more specifically that he like Nagisa, but he knew that people would harass Nagisa for being in a same-sex relationship and that's something that would bother Nagisa. Especially if people put two and two together and link Nagisa, back to the "girl" from yesterday. Karma could wait to the end of school to have a personal and private moment with Nagisa he'd have self-control, that's the very least he could do for his new boyfriend.

Nagisa, true to form had an amazing poker-face and didn't give any sign that him and Karma had changed in any way from what they were since last class with an occasional look or smile sent the other's way. Nagisa and Karma were going to Karma's house after school to play video games, maybe watch Netflix and chill, eat dinner just normal boyfriend things. Things were going fine until lunch break.

Kayano, and Kanazaki came up an asked "Hey, Nagisa do you know a girl named, Nagachiko we saw her with Karma at the mall yesterday? You're Karma's friend you'd know right?"

Nagisa replied without hesitation. "Yeah, that's Karma's cousin, he's always playing pranks on her."

Kayano asked. "So, her and Karma aren't dating?"

Nagisa stated. "Nope, Karma just thinks it's fun to mess with her. Why didn't you just ask Karma yourselves, you guys?"

Kanazaki answered "Because he's Karma, and quick to get aggressive."

Kayano and Kanzaki seemed to tell everyone else the ordeal so he would have to get his story straight with Karma before things could potentially get out of hand the lie was simple enough and not too complicated to cause much trouble. It pacified speculations about Karma, and what went on yesterday.

Nagisa afterward went on to find Karma and sit with him outside for lunch not too close, but explained the situation to him, they were far away from each other that they thought. Karma was fine with it was easy to remember and now he got to spend time with Nagisa. For now at least

Author's note: Hey review and feed back would be good, or if you don't it's whatever no pressure some constructive criticism I'm trying to get better at writing. Also this is a multi-chapter fic so there will be more chapters
