Color

Deleted Scene 01 – Episode 01

Synopsis: In which Karma looks back and wouldn't dare to lose that color.

"Yep. Seeing Nagisa just then? Honestly, I was shocked. Not when he beat Takaoka. After that," said Karma, looking ahead, flashlight in hand. That memory was crystal clear still and as he thought back on it, it was like he was transported there. In that moment. "He wasn't the slightest bit afraid." The bluenette's smile back then was stuck in his head. "I mean, in a fight, I'd win for sure. But to an assassin, that kind of victory doesn't mean squat."

Okuda didn't know to react. She only kept silent as Karma continued to talk his heart out in the darkness.

"That's when I first realized, I'm actually afraid to lose that color." The same smile flashed inside his head. That blue hair in contrast with the dim light. "Him—he doesn't pay heed on danger when he can save his friends that way. Like the matter with Takaoka. I mean, he has the talent, doesn't he? He could turn out to be an assassin in the future. He could handle the job perfectly but what about casualties or mischances? He's too soft sometimes...that could get him killed."

"Still, I won't lose that color. I'll be the one to take that teacher's life. Maybe that would change his mind about being an assassin, if the thought ever crossed his mind." Karma looked up at the cave top where rocks glittered upon the faint light of the flashlight.

"Yes, I'm sure the class would agree too." Okuda smiled and cheered him on. The bluenette was precious to them as to the boy in front of him. But somehow she had this feeling…it wouldn't turn out as smoothly in the future.

Bonus:

"I wanted to grin at you holding hands and blushing, two by two!" Koro-sensei whined loudly while crying like he'd just failed at life.

"No need for that, Koro-sensei. Do you not observe your surroundings?" Karma said as he reached for the hand beside his. "You have us," he intertwined his fingers with Nagisa before raising their arms. The bluenette's face looked so red, it was unhealthy.

Koro-sensei's face turned white and blank. "I'm already used to you two, Karma-kun. Your sensei needs a breather sometimes."

A/N: Wonder why it turned out angsty. Probably the karmagisa deficit in the first episode. I want to make a scene with the opening HAHA the lyrics are sooooo lovey-dovey. I mean, "Question, question: why. Question, question: is it. Question, question: you are. Question, question: so close and yet so far away?" – doesn't that ignite your karunagi feels (remember the otp problems in the manga, when they were first years). I feel so crappy. Ugh, sorry if the chapter is not so good. I don't know if I'm tired or just don't have ideas. Anyway, welcome back to the fandom!
