Chapter Text
Soft baby blue hair with eyes to match.
Smooth pale skin that remained unblemished for the most part, but appeared so delicate and easy to taint.
Some would describe their height as ‘petite’ or like that of a child, but it was of no fault of their own that they were only 159cm.
Often mistaken for a girl, Nagisa Shiota was a male third-year at Kunugigaoka, much to everyone’s surprise and sometimes horror.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, he found himself fall from the main campus and Class 3-D to what students tended to call the ‘End Class’, formally known as Class 3-E.
Nagisa’s status immediately fell when he was notified about the class transfer, many of his classmates refusing to speak with him at all and deleting his contact information because Class 3-E was considered to be for delinquents and underachievers who didn’t deserve to be a part of the rest of Kunugigaoka.
When the blue haired boy had received the letter, he felt devastated and mortified; however, there were advantages to being in Class 3-E.
An advantage was meeting one of his closest friends, Kaede Kayano in that very class just before they were assigned Koro-sensei as a teacher and their target for assassination.
On one warm spring afternoon, just after Class 3-E were dismissed for the day, Kayano took Nagisa to a small café on the outskirts of the main city to try the unique drink flavours they had there.
Nagisa sighed softly as he loosened his tie slightly; he loved it when it was warm, but when it got to the point where he was starting to sweat profusely, that was a problem.
To Nagisa’s dismay, he didn’t have any time to get changed before Kayano brought him to the quaint establishment and so, he had to suffer a little longer with perspiration.
“Ah, it’s here Nagisa! Look, isn’t it adorable?”
Kayano pointed to a café front, its sign bright with pink calligraphy letters spelling out the name ‘Café Ans’ and its soft blue background complimenting the writing.
“Café Ans? As in ‘ansatsu’? The Japanese word for-”
“Yep!” Kayano beamed proudly, rocking on her heels energetically.
Although she wouldn’t admit it, it had taken hours for the green-haired girl to find a suitable place for the two to visit.
Of course, with each café she had found at least slightly suitable, she had face-checked and inspected the establishment thoroughly before making a final decision.
Café Ans was a quaint little café, specialising in hot drinks and homemade cakes; despite this appealing attribute, the café itself was only popular with Kunugigaoka students and few others, as the owner of the establishment was an alumnus from Kunugigaoka.
The current students at the middle school flocked in groups to meet with the owner and discuss what they did in order to graduate and become a successful owner of what was a secretly prestigious café hidden within what was thought to be a humble and simple place.
Nagisa chewed his lip, thinking of what he could possibly order from a place he was unfamiliar with and whether he’d be behaving like a child by ordering what he used to ask for when he was young.
The blue haired individual was starting to develop a complex over his looks and how his body hadn’t developed as much as everyone else his age.
He found that people tended to mistake him for a girl due to his long blue hair and petite figure, which embarrassed him to no end, especially when he had to explain to them that he was a third-year male at a middle school.
That caused people to become sceptical of whether Nagisa was lying in order to get people to stop paying so much attention to him.
Kayano looked over at Nagisa’s face and noticed that he was biting his lip and was frowning slightly; a hand made its way to a boy’s arm, causing him to snap out of his reverie and focus on the smiling girl beside him.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll have what you want, Nagisa!” Kayano’s smile widened in a way that made Nagisa’s negative thoughts immediately subside.
“Ah… I’m not worrying, but thank you.” Nagisa smiled softly, tilting his head to the side a little and making multiple strands of hair fall across his face.
“Come on, let’s go inside before we waste away here!” Kayano gently tugged on Nagisa’s arm, causing him to stumble slightly but followed her inside.
