: WELL. they're on a first name basis with each other (implying they're good buds), they have similar interests, and it is literally like someone pulling the pigtails of their crush.
Rio is like DAMN. DAMN. And Nagisa remains clueless until Karma grabs his hand during a tense Assassin Moment and makes a squeaking noise when Nagisa automatically squeezes back.
Also Karma immediately wins Nagisa's mom's approval when he tells her that Nagisa makes a great girl, maybe I can convince him to wear skirts more often~?

: FOR NAGISA'S GENDER SHENANIGANS my eventual opinion was that if it was causing dysphoria or flashbacks to his mom, he wouldn't let his classmates keep doing it.
Nagisa is REALLY SHITTY AT ADVOCATING FOR HIMSELF but after confronting his mom about it, I think he would have had the (no pun intended) balls to tell the same to his classmates.
But yeah, despite all of Karma's successful attempts at flustering Nagisa and bizarre flirtation, Nagisa only figures it out at a FIGHT!! moment and gives Karma a warm and dangerous smile
"Just like you always aid me, Karma-kun, let me help you out once in a while, okay?" or something else devastatingly smooth and suave and KARMA HAS THE WEIRDEST BONER RIGHT NOW.
And for the next two days that they're... idk... rebuilding the school building. again. THE ENTIRE CLASS IS JUST FUCKING DELIGHTED AT NAGISA ABSOLUTELY INADVERTENTLY
(And Irina is THOROUGHLY LECTURED by Karasuma who DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF KARMA'S LOVE LIFE, THAT ITALIAN BISTRO EXPENSE CAME OUT OF HIS SALARY)
