Chapter Text

11:49 P.M

        It was like any other day, a terrible inability to sleep but that doesn't mean a certain someone wouldn't have a desperate mental plead for it to change some day, at this point, anyday would be spectacular for him.  As long it changed, that'd be far more than enough to please a certain yellow-eyed redhead.  That was Karma Akabane's everyday night life for about a little less than half a decade of facing the power of insomnia.  Since 2 months after turning 8 years old, the vibrant redhead could never be able to sleep when he wanted to.  Even with reasons he even gained it were unknown, Karma accepted the fact he got it one way or another.  Maybe not fully in acceptance because if he had, there'd be no reason for him to go in a bed and give an attempt to rest those mercury eyes of his.  Karma recognizes the helplessness of ending the insomnia and decided to be productive with his time of unwillful awareness.

12:07 A.M 

        "It's been what?  Two weeks?  I haven't slept since 2 days after my suspension days were over.  When I get my favorite pass out session, I am going to enjoy every part of it down to the last milliseconds.  I know that I'm about to lose my mind from this dumb-  Well there's still not an inkling worth of sleep to my name.  What was I expecting, of course I couldn't go to sleep.  Insomnia is truly, such a troublesome pain in the ass." 

        Reluctantly, he got out of his bed's comfortable, dark purple blanket and went to his clearly not as comfortable study desk to be productive.  The only reasons he even owns that nice bed was to be able to keep the image he sleeps when someone comes over and, to simply lay in it to read the assassination classroom's messages and and for praying that one day, he'd fall asleep of his own will.  For now, Karma would read and study the various books he found in the three contagiously different libraries worth rollerblading off to.  Tonight, he decided to start the day off with what feels like an unreasonably long book despite being completely uninterested in it.  The redhead only grabbed it since he saw some group of teenagers that people could only assume were around his age grab it as well.

3:21 A.M

        "I can't believe I decided to spend all that time on this stupid book.  Half the stuff I already knew from the other books I read on the same dumb subject.  I should've grabbed a book on a new language.  Like German.  Can't hurt to add a language among the 13 other languages I know.  If not another language, maybe I could've just played some random video game?  I heard the store added a new big shot.  Hopefully it'll live up to its hype.  Sounds like I actually have a plan for the next midnight session."

        With the amount of books he read out of boredom from the endlessly supplied energy, Karma always found it in him to draw himself to books on all sorts of cultures or learn languages of other lands.  As a kid, becoming an anthropologist wasn't a bad idea in his mind.  While looking back at his childhood dreams, it really wasn't a horrendous thought he stored since he became a natural at it.  Nowadays, most of him wants to work on being a bureaucrat to be able to help the citizens in need of support.  Being a person that could be relied on is his current dream even though he shows his ways of helping out in every way violent.

6:51 A.M

         "Wow.  Guess I should get ready though-  maybe being late wouldn't such a bad idea.  My eyebags probably look at big as this empty house.  Well- there is no way, that I, Karma Akabane, would actually let myself be seen with such a depressing look.  I'll just cover it up one way or another.  Everyone in this world is too blind to see them even if I did nothing about it.  Nobody pries into these kind of things."

        Karma got up anyway since he felt like being a civil student for once in his life.  It was also to see if he was able to steal something from Korosensei since the teacher's lounge practically always contained something of the octopus'.  If there is something to steal, the redhead would either flail it in Korosensei's face, eat if when nobody is around, or leave it alone because he couldn't find anything useful of the usually snack item.

7:01 A.M

        "Should I get something I to eat?  Well.. actually- no.  I haven't eaten in 6 days just to speed up the process of passing out.  Why should I eat to ruin my plans?  I'll just go to school as usual.  Who cares if they see me looking like a ghoul?"

        On time periods like this, Karma starts to starve himself until he passes out since he thinks it slightly speeds up the process to faint.  Being able to pass out was also the reason Karma dared to challenge so many tormenting bullies.  If they win, at least the random person getting bullied could have a chance to escape and the bullies would beat Karma up until he passed out.  It was a complete win-win in the redhead's mind.  Even if others believed that Karma was not gaining anything, he'd do anything to pass out. 

        However, the problem with fighting is that the opponent had to win against him.  Karma has only lost two fights and both times, he had to face a gang of grown-ups with all sorts of weapons like baseball bats, metal pipes, and even knifes.  His mercury eyes could tell when he was going to lose a fight, and when it just looks like putting bullies into their place out of some sort of sense to serve justice.  Well, that was if Kunugigaoka had a reality check and cared to figure out who was right or wrong instead of going off the words of the student in a higher status.

7:10 A.M

        "Time to get to school-  I guess.  I wonder when somebody will actually catch me rollerblading to the mountain.  Maybe nobody goes from the side I do to get to the front.  Or maybe they're just too blind to see I actually have wheels on my shoes before I change them out.  Whatever the case is- it's not my business.  Besides, who cares if I can rollerblade?  Most people think and know, it looks elementary as hell."

        And thus, he got his violet rollerblades on and went to school.  There was yellow-orange ones looked better on him but, who cares?  To the redhead it's barely seen so colors wouldn't matter.  Well, he has like 3 different pairs being the violet ones he decided to use, ivory white ones that just looked beautiful alone, and black ones that Karma would use the most purely for the fact nobody actually sees dirt on them.  Again, who is looking?
