-At Okinawa-
You: We've finally arrived!~ It's beautiful right, Karma?~
K: Yeah~
You: When's the last time I went to a place full of water? It's been such a long time~ I can't wait to play with the sand!~
K: You're not gonna swim?
You: ...Let's see if I feel like it later~
Koro: Okay minna-san, let's put our things first, then we'll start the assassination.
"Okay!~"
-Time Skips-
The others were playing in the water while you were playing with the sand. You're building something. You were using a cute swimsuit, but you covered it with your jacket.
"(Y/n)-chan!" The blue-haired trap running and waving towards you.
You: What's wrong, Nagisa-kun?
N: Aren't you gonna go in?
You: Go in? The water?
N: Yeah.
You: Nah, I want to play with the sand~ It's fun!
N: Okay then. Karma-kun! She said that she still wants to play with the sand!
K: Eh~~
Karma walked towards you.
K: Come on (y/n), let's dive in~ You look so dry, let's make you wet~
Karma grabbed your hand.
You: Nuuu!!! Let me go, I still wanna play with the sand! I'm not finished building it yet!
K: Don't tell me you can't swim?~
You: I can! I can!
K: Let's go then~
You: No!!
K: You need to get wet!~
-At the ocean-
Okajima and Maehara looked at you two with jealousy eyes.
"What are they talking about?" Okajima ask.
"I don't know. Something about getting wet..." Maehara answered.
"Maehara, you know what I'm thinking?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
"I know~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
-Back to you-
You: I want to stay dry!
K: So, you really can't swim huh? You don't need to hide it (y/n)~ It's fine~
You: ╬ ╬ Fine! I'll show you!
You opened your jacket and Karma blushed at how cute your swimsuit is. It's not exposing so much skin but it's cute.
K: You're still wearing the necklace huh? *Giggle
You ran and stopped when the water is in front of your feet. You closed your eyes, took a deep breath and ran to the ocean. You started swimming and go up.
You: See?! I told you I c-
You saw a big wave. Your eyes widened. It's not near you, but you stopped floating.
'Huh? My legs are...I'm...I'm drowning..!' -You
K: (Y/n)!!!
Karma swam as fast as he could to save you. Everyone gasped seeing you drowning.
N: Koro-sensei! Help her! Quick!
Koro: ...
"Koro-sensei!! What are you doing?! Save (y/n)-chan!"
Koro: ..Let Karma handle this, he can do it.
N: ...*Gulp *Nod Okay.
You opened your eyes, seeing the sun rays from the water. It's beautiful to watch.
'This feels like déjà vu..' You closed your eyes.
'So..stupid...'
Karma grabbed your hand and went back to the surface. He brought you back to land.
K: (Y/n)? (Y/n)?!
No answers.
K: …
Karma's face is leaning closer to yours.
'Huh? Didn't this..' -Karma
Just as Karma was about to give you CPR, you opened your eyes.
You: *Cough *cough......
K: (Y/n)! Are you okay?!
You: I'm..fine...
You were shivering. Karma hugged you tightly.
K: Don't scare me like that you i***t!
You: Hehe..Sorry, I guess I'm still not ready to be in the water....
K: Do you still want to play around or would you prefer to go change?
You: I'm going change.
You looked at your classmates. They looked so worried.
'Ah..I'm ruining their fun..' -You
You: ..Sorry for ruining the atmosphere...
You left.
After you took a bath, you curled yourself up at your room.
You heard the door open and look who it is.
K: Hey.
You: Karma, what are you doing here?
K: Checking up on you~
You: I'm fine.
Karma put at towel at your head.
K: Dry your hair, properly will you?
You: It doesn't matter.
Karma rubbed the towel on your head.
K: ..Reminds me on your birthday~ It was raining and you were crying. I dried off your hair like this too~
You: Right..
K: I was surprised. I didn't think you would be sacred of lightning~
You: ...When I was a kid, I was seeing out through the window. There's a lightning that was so close with my face, but there was a glass between me and the lightning. I thought, 'What would happen if the window was opened? What would happen if I was stroke by a lightning?' I got scared of those thoughts. It's stupid, but I got scared of it.
K: It's not stupid.
You: That time, when you guys were trying to distract me with the gun noises...I hated it. It's not like I was scared of it or anything, it's just very disturbing. My ears are very sharp sometimes, but sometimes it's not sharp at all. That time my ears were just really sharp..I have lots of holes you know?
K: I see..And then? What happened back there? Why were you drowning?
You: ...I'm just not really good with the ocean.
K: Really?
You nodded your head.
K: ..That...
He pointed at your necklace. It's black.
K: What does that means?
"...Fear.."
K: I see....Why didn't you tell us? We could just choose another place to go to.
You: Because I didn't want to ruin the fun, but at the end I ruined it...sorry.
K: You didn't, don't worry.
You: What do you mean?
K: Look at there.
Karma pointed at the see-through door.
You: ?
You looked at the door and smiled. They are continuing what they did earlier.
You: I see...it's not bothering them..That's good.
You sighed in relief.
K: Yeah.
-A couple of minutes ago when you left-
"What happened to (y/n)-chan?!"
"Is she okay?"
"Let's check on her."
K: You shouldn't~
"Why?"
"But Karma, your girlfriend is.."
K: Didn't you hear her earlier? She said sorry for ruining the atmosphere. It would be better if you just continue to have fun. Otherwise else she'll think that she ruined the atmosphere and she'll feel guilty about it. I'll go check up on her later, so you guys go have fun~
-Back to the present-
K: (Y/n)...Why are you scared of the ocean?
You: It's not that I'm scared of the ocean or anything..It's just...things..
You looked down.
K: ..Well, what are you gonna do now?
You: I guess I'll just sleep. I'm not in the mood to do anything..Or should I just watch an anime?~ Haha~
You looked at Karma with a smile. You tried to liven up the mood.
K: You should be sleeping~
You: Anime it is then!~
K: I said sleep.
You: But anime is life~
K: Sleep.
You: Hehe, fine I'll sleep.
Karma smiled and patted your head.
K: Good night~
You: It's not even nighttime yet.
K: Whatever~ Bye~
Karma walks towards the door.
You: Bye~
He stopped when he's already at the door.
K: You know...When there's time..I'd like to hear more about your life~
Karma left.
You: ..I guess I'll sleep.
You went to your bed.
You: My life..huh?
You closed your eyes.
'I feel like something bad is gonna happen..' With that, you fell asleep.
