In the darkness of (Y/N)'s room, a silent figure stood above her sleeping form. Their presence almost went unnoticed as the curtains framing the window fluttered from the soft breeze of the night, the distant sounds of rushing traffic in the distance a constant white noise.

But she wasn't asleep.

So she was able to notice this person.

Wrapping her hand around the handle of her knife that she always kept hidden under her pillow, she swiftly sprang upward and pressed the blade against the intruder's neck, then reaching over and turning on the light, surprised when seeing their face. Arata lay beneath her, his face a mask of stone, not even seeming to care about the threat to his life.

"The fuck are you doing here!?" (Y/N) hissed quietly as she clambered off of him, her gaze sharpened into a deadly glare.

"I'm here for answers," he said as he too stood, straightening his now ruffled clothes.

"Huh!?"

"I keep seeing you and that fucking transfer student together..." he started, his lips twitching as his fingers flexed, a slow and steady anger starting to build within him no matter how hard he tried to quell it. "What the hell is going on? Don't tell me you actually have feelings for that bastard, right? After everything between us... that can't be, right!?"

(Y/N) scoffed at his desperation, running her hand through her messy hair.

This fucker...

He came to my room in the middle of the night to ask this dumb question!?

"To think you would interrupt my sleep and ask such a shitty question..." she trailed off with a small exhale of breath as she tucked away her knife and crossed her arms over her chest, scrutinizing him. "You have some balls, don't you? No matter, just get the fuck out of my house."

"Not until you answer me first," Arata stepped forward, his expression dangerous.

(Y/N) scowled.

Where the hell are Ryuk and Edu when I need them?

Recently, she had begun to realize that the two Shinigami never stuck around after she went to bed, having woken up in the middle of the night multiple times in the past months and having never seen them in her room or anywhere else in her house. She assumed that they were probably somewhere else in the city, but now when she actually needed their help they were gone.

Typical.

"I see no reason why I have to listen to your demands after you broke into my house," (Y/N) rolled her eyes at Arata, not caring at all about his increasingly unhinged behavior. "So, get out."

Arata lunged forward, grabbing her by the shoulders and pushing her down on her bed, his grip almost suffocating from how tightly he was holding her. Her eyes widened, and immediately moved to try and grab hold of her knife that she had set down not too far away. Unfortunately, Arata already saw what she was doing and shackled her hands to the bed with his own whilst also making sure she couldn't kick him.

She was stuck.

"Tell me..." he began lowly, his glare burning into her. "Who is Nathaniel Rokuta to you?"

"He's nothing to me," (Y/N) answered calmly.

"You're lying!" He spat, veins scrawling across his forehead as his anger piqued. "I've seen you two together... I've seen how he looks at you... how he smiles at you... it's so fucking obvious! But you can't feel the same, right? You don't love him, right? Not after everything we've been through... not after every intimate moment shared between us... you can't..."

She merely continued to stare at him as he babbled on and on about his undying love for her and how he would do anything for her.

Her eyes then widened.

That's it.

I can still use him.

Even if he no longer has the eyes...

I'm not willing to risk him getting his memories back if something happens, but there is still something he can do for me...

And besides, I have to change my plans anyway because of L's unexpected appearance at school...

So this should work.

"My dear Arata," (Y/N) crooned as she reached upward and twined her arms around his neck, something that sent a scattering blush across his pale cheeks. "How can you even think of accusing me of cavorting with someone else, hm? Not when I already have you, right?"

"You... mean that?" Arata's grip loosened, allowing her to sit up.

"Of course," she tilted her head with a soft smile, her palm warm against his cheek as he closed his eyes. "Why would I choose him when I already have you? Is that even a question?"

"I'm sorry, then..." he murmured.

"Don't be, I don't mind."

"I just can't have you go to him..." he clutched at her clothes tightly, his green eyes taking on a tint of desperation. "All this time, I've been trying to hold back, especially since I didn't want you to look at me with contempt. But when I saw you two together... I couldn't take it anymore."

Her eyes searched his.

He's telling the truth.

I've always known that he's completely devoted to me, but this is extreme.

Even now with his memories lost...

She smirked.

It's such an enjoyable sight.

Standing up, (Y/N) rounded Arata so she could push him back down onto her bed, slowly climbing on top of him with a seductive smile and a tantalizing look in her eyes that made him swallow thickly. His fingers trembled as he grabbed the back of her thighs and pulled her closer, his gaze wavering between her eyes and lips. She then leaned down so that her mouth brushed against his ear, shivers racing up and down his spine at the contact.

"Arata... will you do something for me?" She whispered lowly.

"A-Anything..."

Her smirk broadened.

"Rokuta has kept clinging on to me like you've seen even though I don't want him to..." she continued, her hips grinding into his own that made him moan softly in contentment. "I hate it. So... I want you to kill him for me."

Arata grabbed her wrist, stopping her actions.

"'Kill' him?" His brows furrowed.

"You won't?" She pouted. "Fine, then."

Just as she was moving to get off of him, resulting in all pleasurable feelings disappearing as quickly as they came, he stopped her again.

"I... never said I wouldn't..."

(Y/N) kissed him slowly.

That's it, Arata...

That's it...
