017: CONTAIN.

Attempting to control himself was hard. Seeing you with L so secretive, whispering in each other's ears as if you were hiding something from everyone else. What possibly could you have found out? Together? The two of you? Light, once again eye twitching as he pitifully tries to listen in on your conversation, was at his most stressed peak.

Did you find out his true identity?

He wasn't sure. It didn't seem like it. But now that he thinks about it, you're awfully aware of things. You and L both suspect him, him, of being Kira, out of the hundreds of billions of people out there. Maybe he took his little tease too far, and drove himself into a corner. No, he can't back down yet. He's going to be the God of the New World, he can't let himself lose, what God would he be if that were to happen?

Should he have kept his eye on you? He can't let anyone ruin his plans for the future. No, it's okay, as a good person that you are, he'll be able to convert you too into kneeling for him. Kneeling for him.. You would look good doing that.

But that's not important! He snaps back to reality, his mind melting for a second, and anyways, what exactly is the problem with you? What's so special about you that makes him so cautious, so weary about making himself seem presentable. Was it the perfectionist in him?

He is striving for perfection, for things to go his way, what in his perspective is just. An ideal world, an ideal justice system, an ideal society, and..

An ideal partner to share it all with.

Maybe that sounds crazy to think about, "but Light, you need to devote your time towards becoming the God of the New World," but who are you to deprive me of my needs? And before you start with the "a god wouldn't need humane inconveniences", don't forget I'm still rising my way into divinity.

These people will watch my uprising into sanctitude.

WALKING IN AOYAMA.

"You really wanted to go with us, Ryuga?" You tilt your head, walking in between the two glaring boys. The three of you walked in a group with the rest of your college friends. 

Light represses an irritated sigh, but you could sense it within the tension in the air. "Yes, now, I can't let my two main suspects be at the scene without me, can I?" He says, still with his awful posture as usual. No, I bet you just wanted to be near (Y/N) for more intel. Or for.. Other reasons. Wait, don't they live together?! Light thinks."You make us look even more suspicious. It would've been less risky taking Matsuda. He's more... teenage-like." Light says, vein popping out on his hand, but hiding it slightly behind his back.

"I'm in my 20s, I believe that's teenage enough for a college student, no?" He says plainly, creeping up closer to you. You just look at him, not really minding after knowing how he's like. "Your creature still makes me jump a bit." He whispers into your ear, just for you to hear, and Light immediately jolts. "Hey, what are you two always talking about?"

"Nothing for a suspect to ask about."

Even more suspicious.

As the three continued with their banters, a certain disguised maiden laid low in a coffee shop nearby, staring at people's names and two certain hovering creatures behind them. 

2 people.

A woman and a man, both of their lifespans hidden from the maiden, a significant sign of her two heroes. Well, hero and heroine. (Heroin? No.) And she almost thought the creature behind the girl, she read, (Y/N), was a human. Luckily, the creature did not have their lifespan displayed either, meaning it was either another holder or a Shinigami of the user.
