KARMA WAS WALKING you back to your house after going to McDonald's with you. To say the least, he was over the moon. After your talk with Irina, he could sense that you weren't as happy as you usually were. So he made sure that you had the best time when you went for another unofficial date.

You reached the doorsteps of your pretty large house, you turned towards Karma and hugged him.

"Thank you for today..." you grinned at him, making Karma blush because of how close you two were.

The boy smiled at you in return and looked into your (e/c) eyes, a loving look present in them.

Karma took this moment to properly study your beautiful features up close. His vision then travelled down to your lips but then quickly went back to your eyes. He didn't want you to notice his growing love for you without knowing whether you seem him the same way or not.

Unbeknownst to him, you were also looking at Karma the same way he was looking at you. Oh how badly you wanted to take advantage of this situation and kiss him right then and there.

Abruptly, the boy leaned in, movements you followed. Your eyes closed as your lips neared his... Until a car loudly honked, making you flinch backwards.

You were annoyed that the stupid car had ruined your only chance to kiss the redhead, but also embarrassed over how badly you flinched.

Your cheeks lit up in a perfect pink colour as you looked away.

Wanting to get out of the awkward moment, you kissed the boy on the cheek, bid him farewell and ran into your house.

Karma just stood there wide-eyed, a shaky hand rising to touch the cheek you had just kissed. His whole face was red, due to the event that occurred.

The boy sighed in happiness and turned away from your house, walking back to his own.

-✧-

"(name)? Why is your face so red?" You had just walked into the living room, where your mother was sitting, watching a show.

"Oh, uh, no reason!" You sped walked into your room and shut the door closed, leaving Irina to drown in her confusion.

You sat on your bed and took out your phone, immediately opening Rio's chats with you.

Irina had just called you into the kitchen to help her make a cake. You had asked her why but she just replied saying that she was just in the mood for it.

You brushed off her weird actions and reached to get the flour out of the cabinet.

"(name), do you like Karma?" The sudden voice behind you scared you so much that you dropped the slightly opened flour on your head, making everything fly everywhere.

You were covered from head to toe in white flour, making Irina scream in laughter. She sat on the floor, tears of joy escaping her shiny eyes.

You frowned and threw some of the remaining flour at your mother, who was barely covered in flour despite being right behind you when you dropped it.

Irina let out a sound of surprise as the flour went into her hair and covered her face.

You let out a laugh as you turned around to look for more flour since the other one, well, yk.

Irina got all the necessary ingredients such as eggs, milk, butter and optional stuff too.

"So do you like him or not?" Irina repeats as you firmly set the flour on the table and walk towards the sink to go wash your hands. Can't have you contaminating food, can we?

"Yeah, I do . . ." In all honesty, you were scared of how she would react. You know she didn't really like him due to the fact that he gave her the Vitch-sensei nickname, which wasn't a very kind one.

He had also teased and embarrassed her multiple times, another reason to add to why Irina hates Karma list.

There's some more stuff, but they were redeemed when the redhead saved you after you got kidnapped.

She's also noticed how much happier you've been lately with everything you hang out with the boy. Irina knew you definitely liked him and he liked you back, but she wanted to hear you say it yourself, just to confirm whether you're aware of your feelings or not.

The woman clapped her hands in delight.

"Oh my, you're growing up so fast! It feels as if it were only yesterday you stabbed your cousin in the leg, now you're already in love!" You were confused as hell.

"I stabbed my cousin!? When?" Shock was evident on your face.

"Hmm, it was around the age of 3 or 4. I'm pretty sure it was three. Your cousin gave you one of his katanas from his ninjutsu classes. You know Fuji? Hitoshi's brother? That one." You nodded, showing that you knew who she was talking about. I mean, Hitoshi and Fuji were one of your favourite cousins.

"He taught you how to use it and while showing off, you accidentally stabbed him in the leg." Irina smiles fondly at the memory as she mixes all the dry ingredients together.

You pour in the milk, she mixes and you prepare the cake tin with butter. You thought things would be awkward between the two of you since you haven't had any mother-daughter time in forever.

You were glad about that.
