Le Author Note: I lost the bet :P greeat, anyways, here ya go.. this, story thing is heavily based on Rae Lynn's song For A Boy, because I just thought: eh, girl? boy who let's his guard down around the girl? KARMA AND MANAMI! *madly types up story* - Quilla

Intended to be a one shot. But.. I'm thinking multi-chapter now!

*Que Alice*

Alice: I APPROVE! *throws ideas into Quilla's inbox, spamming her*

Quilla: the-the fuck?! Ok.. so I guess now it's going to be co-written. Ahem. I don't think this was how it was supposed to go Alice. I was supposed to post my embarrassing one-shot on my own? Remember that?

Alice: details, details. TO THE PLOTMOBILE!

Quilla: again I ask: the fuck?

Alice: just go with it!

You're Not So Scary

Akabane Karma's suspension was up, and that meant that he was free to wreak havoc in the classroom, and out of it. Even worse, I sat only a couple feet away from him. I was terrified. Akabane - Karma, he was scary. He beat up a group of upperclassmen on his own. I've heard rumors about him - that he killed a teacher, he was a leader of a mafia gang, and he threatened his own parents until they let him live on his own.

I'm afraid he might pick on me, use me as a punching bag. He has this intense stare... I can practically feel his eyes piercing into the back of my head. Did I make him mad? I must have. No, worse, he's thinking of how he wants to bully me. Oh no. I can't take it. I turn around in my seat, bracing myself for whatever he has to say to me, a smirk, mouthed death threats?

I fidget and stare intently at the book on his desk, fumbling over my words, "G-good morning.. Karma-san."

"Morning, Okuda-san!" he says cheerfully. "Using -san at the end of my name is a little strange, don't you think?" He chuckles and I shiver.

Was I supposed to laugh along? If I didn't, he might start to hate me. I nervously force a laugh which sounds more like I'm about to cry. Dammit, I can't act! This isn't my forte.

"You ok?" he asks. His voice is softer, less happy, more concerned? No, angry. Angry. Is he angry?

I raise my eyes for a moment, and I see him looking at me intently, his lips curved into a frown. But he doesn't look angry at all. He's leaning forward in his seat, I notice, like he's almost waiting for something. He isn't eager. He's almost.. afraid?

Ridiculous.

I shake my head lightly, and look away from him.

Something warm touches my forehead, and I startle, my heart beating faster, I look at Karma, and he's out of his seat. He's crouched in front of me, a little bit below eye level with his palm against my forehead. He draws his hand back and stares at me. His mercury eyes. They're really such a unique color. Like copper. For some reason, I don't feel scared anymore.

"You don't have a fever." he said, putting his palm to his own forehead. "But you're kind of cold, Okuda-san. Do you want to borrow my sweater?"

It was a question, I'm sure. But even so, before I could give a response, he was taking off his sweater and he put it around my shoulders.

He's a kind person.

Who would have guessed that one of the toughest students would end up being the kindest?

"You're not so scary." the words slip out of my mouth before I can think to bite my tongue, and I cover my mouth in shock. Did I just?

"Eh?" he chuckles and pats my head. "Well I'll take that as a compliment. Please take care of me, Manami."

"Huh?" Did he just use my first name?!

"Okuda-san, did you say something?" he asks, sitting back at his seat, lazily twirling a pen between his fingers.

I must be hearing things.

"Oh, u-um, please take care of me too, Karma-sa-" It is a little weird, huh? But it'd feel awkward to call him Akabane now, and he isn't that close to me. So.. "Karma-kun!"

He smiles at me and chuckles. "That aside, Okuda-san do you want to help come up with a plan to assassinate the teach together?"

"S-sure!" I reply happily. It's kind of the first time anyone has really asked for my help. I can't be more happy. I get to help out! Who would have thought that we would end up as assassination partners?

"Karmadai shipt." Huh?

I look around me, hearing this whirring sound as a gust of wind comes from an open window. I could have sworn someone said something. I really am hearing things, aren't I?

Le note: Yesssss

In case you're wondering: Korosensei moved away from the window, taking notes on Karma and Manami's progressing relationship, saying "Karmada (Karma X Okuda) I ship it!" really fast. XD

So ya! Hope you enjoyed the first chappieeeee!
