KARMA AKABANE RARE PAIRS

Okay, these are pairings that don’t have nearly enough fanfictions or art created for them, if any at all. They’re actually some of my favourite pairings, since the dynamics tend to work really well, and I hope that other people can see that. (And maybe even start shipping some along the way.) Feel free to add onto this list!

Karma x Itona: This one could be... a little strange, I suppose, but it’s mainly inspired by their earlier interactions (before Itona joined Class E).

Karma x Isogai: Less hard to understand, since even though they don’t interact much throughout the series, Isogai and Karma have great dynamics (look, it’s the ikemen and the delinquent, as if I’m not gonna fall for it).

Karma x Terasaka: Obviously, these two have loads of (mainly comedic) interactions through the series, though it’s mainly viewed as a BroTP. Who’s to say it couldn’t turn into something more, though? Come on, don’t pretend you’ve forgotten about the pool scene (commonly referred to by myself as ‘the scene where everyone realised how not straight Karma Akabane is’).

Karma x Nakamura: They’re the devil duo, what more could you ask for?

Karma x Kayano: These two would just be badass, okay? Although that’s not gonna stop me from imagining cute little fluffy scenes between them.

Karma x Maehara: I suppose this one is pretty nonsensical, but it’s a guilty pleasure, I must admit. There’s two fanfictions on AO3 and they made me fall in love with this ship.

Karma x Kanzaki: Another guilty pleasure, but I love their dynamics — the good girl is not who she seems? As if Karma wouldn’t love that!

Karma x Ren: Look, okay, I have nothing to back this up, they’re both just really pretty and total drama queens.

So I hope that list has provided some material for anyone looking for stuff to ship! I’d love to see more works created for all of them, and I will probably be writing quite a few of my own. Also, thank you to @elanafml for letting me ramble about a bunch of these over PM. Anyways, happy shipping!

Body Language (Akabane Karma X Horibe Itona)

AO3 Link HERE

As a car completed its final circuit, the crowd roared praise, and the TV speakers crackled. Itona remained in his curled-up position on his bed, thumb tracing around the edge of his lips. His eyes had been glued to the screen for hours on end, so it was no surprise when a foot began pawing at his duvet.

'Pay attention to me!’

At the action, Itona glanced across to where Karma lay on the opposite side of the bed. The redhead had been attempting to entertain himself while Itona watched the car races, but it appeared that his phone had run out of battery, and he certainly wasn’t about to rise from his comfortable position to go and fetch it. Besides, receiving Itona’s attention was a much greater reward than winning his mobile game.

And so, Karma shuffled closer to Itona, until he was close enough to place his chin in the space just below his boyfriend’s ribcage. That, to Itona, was one of Karma’s simpler forms of silent talk.

‘Cuddle!’

Although Itona wasn’t the most talkative person himself, that was usually because he was unsure how to articulate his thoughts. When it came to Karma though, he just had actions to symbolise the childish words he had too much pride to speak aloud.

But that didn’t mean Itona was going to give up an opportunity for extra warmth — he’d showered earlier, but the car races had begun quicker than expected, so there was no time to even towel-dry it. Therefore, it was still mildly damp; not exactly wet, but wet enough to make Itona colder than desired.

Giving into his want for warmth, Itona lowered himself from where he had been leant against cushions, and turned his body to face Karma’s. Patting around for the remote for a few seconds, he finally found it, then switched down the volume on the TV, letting celebratory pops of champagne burble in the background. Once Itona turned back to face his boyfriend, Karma smiled affectionately down at him, moving to wrap his arm around Itona’s waist.

It didn’t take long for the couple to adjust, since the embrace was an action they were both used to. After a second or two, Karma’s fingers found their way to Itona’s half-dry hair and tangled in it, seemingly analysing a few snowy strands as he picked them up from the pillow beneath both of their heads. That was their usual routine, since Karma knew that the gesture soothed Itona. However, Itona also knew how to calm his boyfriend after a long day of work, and so reached his hand up to rub circles into his shoulder blade. It didn’t always work, especially not when Karma was throwing a man-trum, but they’d both done little that day, so the only stress still present in Karma’s body was from previous days.

Then Karma leant down to Itona’s ear, pressing his lips close. He whispered something that he didn’t need to say — not ever — because it was a sentence present in everything he ever did when he was around Itona, and even often when they were apart.

It was in every thought and every smile, lingering with warmth and tenderness.

It was, “I love you.”
