Deadly Decisions

I think I love you

{Light's point of view }

Misa asked me up to her room today for a date.  This should be interesting with Ryuzaki connected to my wrist.  Before we went to Misa's room he had dragged me to the kitchen to grab a cake to take with us.  I'll never understand his addiction to sugar. 

"Oh my God,  Light,  you're here!!! I've missed you so much!  uh...oh... hi Ryuzaki..."

"Hello Misa, I'm sorry for this inconvenience" I can see him smirking while he apologises. What's so funny? Misa drags me (and Ryuzaki) over to the sofas and sits us both down.  L's presence made the date an unpleasant and awkward situation and despite Misa's best efforts to get him to leave,  he remained cuffed to me.  Perfect.  His dedication to the idea should help me with my own plan. I looked over to him,  and he didn't seem himself.

"Are you okay Ryuzaki?" I turned myself  toward him with a concerned expression. 

"No, I'm feeling...depressed of some sorts...With reducing progress on the Kira case...I can't help but feel that the police were right... my only motivation was my suspicion of you... however the probability of you being Kira is decreasing with every push in the investigation... maybe I cannot solve this case..."

I was astonished, does this mean he'll stop chasing me?  but wait, what if this is a test to see if I really am Kira... No...He seemed genuine.

{L's point of view }

"So that's it?! you're just gonna give up?!"

Light's face showed he was angered,  I stared back at him, not knowing how to respond. I hated upsetting him, I've never felt like this about anyone...

"People have DIED for this case,  for you!"

At this moment I felt Light's fist fly full pelt into my face. I can't believe he just hit me, and with a force to transfer enough momentum to push me backward a couple of meters.

"Light, an eye for an eye, my friend" I spun round and kicked him in the face, with twice the amount of power he'd hit me. He fell backward and onto the floor,  dragging me with him as the chain would not allow us to stray far from one another. I landed on top of him,  with my face hovering not even a centimeter above his. I stared down into his eyes,  his deep,  welcoming eyes.  He's so beautiful. I'd never even considered that my partner, best friend, suspect, could be so magnificent. I need to reevaluate my feelings for Light,  could I be attracted to him in a new way? Misa screamed in the background,  but Light made no attempt to move me, could he feel the same?

The phone rang, so I was forced to remove myself from Light to answer it, holding the device cautiously by it's corner in my usual fashion.

"Hey Ryuzaki! I've got great news! Misa-Misa has been voted number one in 18 magazines!" It was Matsuda. That idiot just dragged me away from Light to tell me how successful his girlfriend is?!

"Okay, Matsuda. Very good." I slammed the phone down onto it's base.

"What was that?" Light questioned.

"Oh, nothing, just Matsuda being stupid"

"Well that is his speciality"

I couldn't bare to stay up here for much longer, under the pressure of Misa's glaring gaze; did she notice our connection? I instructed Light to end the date ad dragged him out the door with Misa clutching his arm. I do wish she was never suspected of being the second Kira, quite frankly I coud do without her presence here.  We walked, in silence, to the elevator: this was too painful. I want him to say something, I want to know ifhe felt the connection too. The elevator doors opened and we both stepped inside simultaneously. As they closed, I went to press the button to take us to ground floor, but Light grabbed my wrist and prevented me from doing so. I looked up at him questionably, and saw him considering his next move.

"L...Light?..."

I didn't take my eyes off of him as he forcefully held my wrists against the elevator wall and pressed his body close to my own. I've never seen this side of him before, but I think I like it. He took both of my hands in one of his and used the other to hold my face, as he leant towards me, slowly, until his lips were in parallel with my ear. I could feel his heavy breathing on my neck, what is he playing at?  I muttered his name once more before he delicately whispered "I think I love you..."

That confirms my theory, but, where do we go from here? Light reviewed my expression to discover whether he had made a mistake or not, the return of burning lustful eyes was enough for him to realise I felt the same way. We embraced as he allowed me to press the button for 'Ground Floor'.  Today I coud not care less about the Kira case, but Light's love has inspired me to carry on.
