Karma x Reader || Appearances

(Your POV)

The loud beeping of your alarm clock woke you up from your deep slumber. Groaning, you rolled on your bed and turned it off rather harshly. Ugh. You were so tired. You just wanted to sleep... Maybe you could skip class...

'As if that's ever going to happen,' your subconscious said.

You sighed. Of course you couldn't skip class just because. Huffing, you slowly opened your eyes as you adjusted them to the bright rays of sunshine.

Karma!

You had completely forgotten he had come to keep you company last night. You looked around your room and quickly spotted your brother's pajamas folded on top of your desk.

'He must have left quite early in case mother came to my room,' you thought, biting your bottom lip as that feeling of guilt engulfed you. He barely had any sleep...

'Wait!' You stopped yourself, your eyes widening. 'He spent the night here... We... slept together...'

"Ah! What am I saying!" You shot up from your bed and ran to the bathroom to splash some cold water on your face.

Once you had calmed down, you returned back to your room where you suddenly took notice of a piece of paper sticking out from underneath your pillow. Curious by what it was doing there, you unfolded it. Your eyes skimming through the paper, heat quickly rising up to your cheeks as you processed the words.

'You never mentioned you drool when you sleep ;) ' It said in a messy and careless handwriting.

"Dammit!" You cursed under your breath as you fought back the playful smile threatening to form at the corners of your lips.

Shaking your head, you folded the note and placed it inside the book on your nightstand. You were quick to change into your school uniform since you didn't want to waste anymore time. One thing was for sure you couldn't be late to class.

Once you were ready, you quickly sorted out your backpack, your stomach growling loudly, begging for food.

You thought about yesterday's events. You had really doubted yourself, hadn't you? It was such a weird thing to think about... To think that you and the God of Death had so much in co- No!

'Stop thinking about that (Y/N)!" You reprimanded yourself, forcefully zipping your backpack.

Yes, that would be for the best. The God of Death could no longer make you doubt yourself. You would never become as emotionless as him. No. You knew who you were.That wasn't you and Karma's words backed you up.

You smiled, just the thought of him was enough to make you happy. The way he had reassured you that night, how close he had held you. Your heart seemed to pump faster than ever as you recalled those events, that same warmth invading you. You were so lucky to have hi-

'Kaori!' You stopped yourself.

With everything that had happened with the reaper, you had completely forgotten you were still dating... well, fake dating... Oh no. What should you do now? You couldn't just break things up with him or your mother would send you back to the main campus. Dating him was the only thing that was keeping you in the end class... But you didn't want to continue faking a relationship. It wouldn't be fair, neither for Kaori nor Karma.

'Why is life so complicated!?' You screamed internally as you exited your room and headed to the stairs.

You had been so caught up in your train of thought that you hadn't seen where you were going and you abruptly bumped into your brother which nearly caused the both of you to go tumbling down the stairs.
