Straight Note

getting used to having power

The sun had just begun to rise as Light walked to school, his usual arrogant smile on his face. He felt strangely satisfied, the memory of the night before fresh in his mind. He tried to imagine the three men he had encountered turning straight, the thought of it exciting him even further.

He stepped into the school building, the usual sound of chatter from his classmates surrounding him. But it felt different today, as if he was on a completely different level to everyone else. He had power now; he could control people with just a name. It was a thrilling thought, one that made him almost skip as he walked towards his classroom.

When he got to the classroom, the room was already crowded with students. The noise was loud as students called to one another across the room and chatted about anything and everything. Light ignored them all as he took his usual seat in the back. He didn't bother getting out his school supplies, he wasn't paying any attention to class today. He was just thinking of his experiment the night before.

Light was pulled from his thoughts as a shadow loomed over him. He looked up, a bit surprised to see his usual gay bully standing in front of his desk, looking down at him. Light's heart immediately started racing as he wondered if the results would be quick. 'What do you want?' he asked, trying to keep his voice neutral.

The bully looked him up and down, his expression almost scrutinizing. Light's heart started beating faster as he wondered what the bully was thinking. 'You seem different today.' the bully said, his voice surprisingly calm. Light tried not to look surprised at the statement.

He tried to play it cool, trying to hide the sense of excitement and anticipation rising in his chest. 'I'm the same as always.' he said, keeping his tone neutral. The bully just chuckled softly, leaning against the desk and studying Light's face.

'You don't look the same.' the bully said, his gaze piercing. 'You look different.' Light took a breath, trying to ignore the sweat now beading the back of his neck. 'Maybe I just got a new shirt.' he said, aiming for a hint of sarcasm. The bully just chuckled again.

It's not your shirt.' the bully said, his voice slightly amused. 'You look excited.' Light felt the panic start to set in as he realized that maybe the bully actually looked through him enough to know something was different. 'I'm not excited.' he said, trying to sound uninterested. The bully just smiled, clearly knowing he had gotten to him.

'You're lying.' the bully said bluntly, raising one eyebrow at Light. He looked like he was having fun messing with Light, clearly enjoying the fact that he was making him sweat. 'What are you so excited about, huh?'

Light was starting to feel uncomfortable, his palms sweating as he tried to keep his cool. He wanted the bully to stop interrogating him, but he refused to show how much it was affecting him. 'Why would I be excited about anything?' he said with as much nonchalance as he could manage. The bully just smirked, his eyes still trained on him.

'I don't know.' the bully replied, almost sounding playful. 'Just a guess. But you're definitely excited about something.' Light started biting his lip without realizing, his heart rate increasing rapidly as the panic and tension continued to rise.

As soon as recess started, Light rushed out of the classroom with an excuse, ignoring the other students. He made his way to a corner of the school that was out of the way, making sure no one was watching him. When he was sure he was out of sight, he grabbed the straight note out of his pocket, his hands shaking slightly.

The thought of writing the bully's name down felt oddly satisfying to Light. He took a deep breath and grabbed the pen from his pocket. As he looked down at the note and began to write the name, he tried to imagine what the bully would be like after turning straight.
