I think the two main reasons why I wrote this fiction was because I was already writing Trouble Time (KarmaxNagisaxGakushu), and that Gakuho was a teacher before the manga started, Koro was the teacher in the manga, and Nagisa became a teacher at the end of the manga.
That connection. (:3)
(And the lack of God of Death!Koro-sensei fictions was killing me so yeah.)
~Moving on~

"Shiota-sensei, Shiota-sensei..." the melodious voice continued to probe at the still unconscious Nagisa until a soft murmur left the male's parted mouth.
"Mmm..." Still half asleep, Nagisa turned to hide from the annoying whispers that were disturbing his sleep. He buried himself in the comfort of his arms; his make-shift pillow, and tried his best to ignore the person trying to wake him.
"If you don't wake up now, I'll kiss you," said the offending voice.
Jerking at the 'threat', Nagisa found himself immediately awake and sitting up-right. He winced at the headache that accompanied his sudden awakening, hands instinctively reaching up to massage his temples. At the same time, he swept his head around to direct a menacing (or so he hoped) glare at his colleague who had disturbed his well-earned nap.
With a buttoned white collar shirt and a black jacket of a famous brand, the man in front of Nagisa easily towered over his short figure, looming over the blue head with an amiable smile plastered on his face.
It has been 2 months of interaction between Nagisa and Koro-sensei, and a few weeks of being placed into the same school as an official teacher, but Nagisa still could not get used to the enigma named Koro-sensei.
During the first month of being a student-teacher, Nagisa had been under the impression that Koro-sensei is a person that hides behind various masks and persona. The way Koro-sensei had treated him reminded him of how a professor would treat their favourite student, but Nagisa soon found out in the second month that Koro-sensei just had the guilty pleasure of having a student over 20 years of age.
In addition, Nagisa wished to have never praised Koro-sensei so much during the first month. Every time Koro-sensei hides his face behind his clipboard, Nagisa knew that he had to be thinking of something dirty and lewd.
It all happened during one of Koro-sensei's homeroom, when Nagisa was just crouching down to pick the pen he dropped. Maybe it was fated for Nagisa to find out about Koro-sensei's perverse side, but when Nagisa had heard the creepy giggle that came from his senior teacher, he could not help but take a look at what the giggle was for. Then, he saw Yukimura-sensei with one of her many eccentric T-shirts; at that time, she was wearing a very low cut long sleeved shirt printed with leopard spots, revealing two very plump flesh.
He blamed it on a non-existent bug that day, but Nagisa could not stop his instinct from using the file he was holding to beat the daylights out of Koro-sensei. Well, that was what he had intended to do if his swat didn't land on air and making him trip. If not for the strong arms which circled around his waist, Nagisa knew he would had received a broken nose.
Before he could hit the perverted senior teacher, the file he had been holding was out of his hands. Nagisa looked up to find Koro-sensei chuckling nervously, eyes darting elsewhere and sweating buckets. On his hand was the file that was once in Nagisa's possession, but failing to notice that small titbit of information was one Nagisa Shiota who had taken it to himself to admonish the older male's lack of decency.
It was only after lunch did Nagisa realise that he had lost his work file, when he found it lying innocently on his desk.
Then, did Nagisa wondered how Koro-sensei had taken his file without him noticing.
"Shiota-san, you are spacing out again."
A calloused had waved itself in front of Nagisa, making him blink stupidly for a moment before he stood up abruptly.
"Koro-sensei, please stop it with all your jokes. I'm already having enough trouble with you sexual harassing my students."
Ignoring Koro-sensei's correction of " 'Our', not 'my' students ", Nagisa folded his arms and gave his best glare at the taller male in the room. It was lunch break and to rest his eyes before his next class, Nagisa had been napping at his corner of the staff room when a certain someone had ever so nicely woke him up.
Though he is grateful for being woken up before his class, Nagisa found himself disapproving Koro-sensei's way of waking people up.
"But all of the female students enjoys my 'harassment'. I had thought you would, too, be happy to receive special treatment from your favourite teacher." Koro-sensei teased, smirking when he noticed how Nagisa's ears were starting to redden.
Nagisa once again wished that he could take back all the compliments he had given to this Egoistic teacher.
"Please excuse me, I have a class to attend to," said Nagisa as he tried to stand and leave the room. He was starting to become uncomfortable with the way the other male was staring at him.
"Shiota-sensei, I'm just here inform you that Akabane Karma is not going to attend class today. He's down with a fever, thirty-nine degrees he said."
Nagisa raised an eyebrow at Koro-sensei, silently wondering why he, of all people had information to Karma's absence before him, Karma's homeroom teacher.
Sure, Nagisa knew how efficient Koro-sensei worked, always seeing him marking countless stacks of papers tirelessly, working overtime for the few documents that were always handed in late. Nagisa also knew of how Koro-sensei would always take notice of each students' growth and tries to improve his teaching style so that his students could understand him better.
Yes, Nagisa hated to admit it, but he respects Koro-sensei with all his heart. Even after the short period of time as a student-teacher, Nagisa found his lingering respect for the hardworking teacher long-lasting. Even if Koro-sensei is a pervert. Maybe that explained why Koro-sensei knew of Karma's condition before him.
As if knowing what Nagisa's trail of thoughts, Koro-sensei immediately spoke up to defence himself.
"I can roughly guess what you are thinking about, but the reason why I knew of Karma-kun's fever is simply because you were asleep when his parents called." Saying that, Koro-sensei reached out to ruffle Nagisa's blue mop of hair. "You don't have to dig into it so much."
Whether or not Koro-sensei was implying something deeper with that last line, Nagisa didn't know. What he did know, was that Koro-sensei had been considerate enough to allow him a bit more rest time.
"Thank you…" Accepting the ruffle, Nagisa whispered his soft word of thanks, and hastily collected all his materials before he rushed out of the staff room.
Nagisa could only tell himself that the erratic beats of his heart was caused by his lack of exercise.
Absolutely not from the nostalgia he felt when that huge, warm, calloused hand landed on his forehead.
If Nagisa had looked back when his instincts were screaming at him to, he would have found himself staring at the lonely looking form of a black haired male staring longingly at his hand.
.'.'.
"…Shiota-sensei?" When he had dragged himself out of bed to stop the ringing of the doorbells, Karma did not expect to see his homeroom teacher to be by his doorsteps.
Wearing the same meek but determined expression, Karma's teacher was fidgeting by the doors, fiddling with the papers he had on hand.
"Akabane-san! Is it okay for you to be walking around with your fever? You look really awful." True to his word, Karma was looking weary, dishevelled and beaten up.
Then, Nagisa saw the huge purple spot underneath the collar of the shirt his student was wearing.
He does not do a good job in trying to be discrete, Nagisa found that particular fact out when the Karma's right hand immediately covered up the purplish black spot near his collarbone.
"I had already told you to just drop the family name. I don't like people calling me that."
Nagisa could tell a deliberate change in topic when he heard one. Although ideas and conclusions were rapidly forming up in his brain, Nagisa did not want to assume why Karma did not like using his family name, and what made that wound on his neck too quickly.
His curiosity was making Karma uncomfortable if the lack of eye contact was any indication.
"Then, here's your work assignments for today, Karma-kun." Nagisa tried to give Karma his best reassuring smile, but seeing how Karma was so determined to avoid eye contact, Nagisa knew he was unable to help Karma with his problems as of yet.
"…Thank you," was said by Karma in surprise. He had been expecting not been expecting anyone to deliver his assignments for the day to him, but someone had. Putting aside the fact that it was his home-room teacher who had delivered the papers, Karma cannot remember the last time someone had the initiative to deliver his assignments to his doorstep.
More than that, Karma had never got a single person to even come this close to his house before.
Removing the slips of papers from his teacher's hand, Karma found himself wondering why Shiota-sensei had taken his time to deliver the work personally to his house. If he hadn't known better, Karma would have thought Nagisa had too much time on his watch. But Karma knew better.
After all, Shiota Nagisa-sensei was the reason why he didn't drop into Class E.
"You are very welcomed. Here are some get well gifts, so take your medicines and I hope you get well soon." Again, Karma found himself baffled from the sheer thought of receiving a gift, or the famous 'get well soon' phrase from anyone he knew.
Handing the bag of fruits and food to Karma, Nagisa found himself being under the incredulous stare of his student.
"Is there something on my face?" Nagisa asked with a tilt of his head.
As if someone had slapped him, Karma flinched and shook his head rapidly.
Although he was confused by his student's strange behaviour, he tried a last attempt to direct Karma a smile. While doing so, Nagisa waved a goodbye to the red haired and internally did a cheer when he was acknowledged.
Again, if Nagisa had just looked a bit closer, he would have noticed the slight redness tinted onto his red haired student's cheeks.

End of chapter
I had found it weird how Karma and Nagisa were the only two characters whom were called by their first names, so I had used that small titbit of information and included a back story for Karma's family name.
I have the basic story already noted out in scribbles, but writing out the real chapter is the difficult part. Especially when I'm getting drowned in projects- I'm so not used to doing group projects.
I want my homework back ;_; (If it was possible, I just want to procrastinate every day.)
For the first chapter of a new fiction to have 6 reviews is very reassuring XD
So let's move on to the reply section~
.'.'.'.
Thecatleader- Thank you for being my first reviewer, and thank you very much for the multiple reviews made by many different personas! I had enjoyed reading the short interactions between each of you and I see someone likes threesomes (winkwink). I would make it a love triangle for the three mentioned, but it can only happen if the story proceeds along romantically. Hopefully, you would stick around either way.
ToonyTwilight- I'm glad to see a familiar name in the review list XD I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who ships God of Death!Koro-sensei and Nagisa together. They make a nice picture together if I say so myself. I can't really decide on my favourite shipping, but I just love pairing Nagisa with the different male characters in Assassination Classroom.
Qwertyyuiop- I like your name- Is the first thing I thought of. Aww, you like this fiction? Thank you :D! Although I do have things to write for this fiction, I have to warn you that my update speed is legit crap :P
Aithussa- The next chapter is here! Now you have to wait for the next next chapter!
Hino1Hyuga- First thing, I love your friend. Second thing, I love how you have decided to stick with this fiction! Only a chapter out and there's already recommendations for it? (I'm so happy!) I have no confidence in my ability to write smut, or anything ahemy, but if I could, I would. Even if I don't, do look forward to more of this fiction!
MuonMeow- Holy Trinity of Teachers. I really like that sound of that. I, too had always thought of how these three had the role of a teacher meant some kind of connection. Gakuho had been a teacher before canon, Koro was the main teacher in the series, and Nagisa became a teacher at the end of the series. If that wasn't something to point out, I don't know what is. I have no problems with writing about GakuhoxNagisa since I'm already writing one fiction about GakushuxNagisa, so do look forward to the love triangle involving him! Maybee the title should just stay as it is, but who knows? If you have any suggestions, do inform me either through reviewing or pming.
.'.'.
Too all my readers, thank you reading and I hope you have enjoyed this chapter!
