Death Note (OC x Light / OC x Lawliet)

Rebirth

"-rice? Maurice!" our teacher was calling my name. Oops.

"Yes?" I say, innocently as can be. I didn't want him to know what I was looking at, it was a black notebook that seemed to fall from the sky.

"Please enlighten the class by telling them the value of X in-"
"4. The value is 4." I sit down. Little to his knowledge I was able to solve that simple equation with a glance.

"Very good. Your homework today students is unit 1.84 pages 336 to 340." And with that, the bell rings. Light and I share looks, it seems he noticed the note too. We get up at the same time to go investigate.

"Death Note?" Light reads.

"This looks really stupid to me. Like a dumb prank. Just leave it." I suggest, but he ignored me.

"Welcome home, Light. And welcome, Maurice!" Mrs. Yagami welcomes me. This is my second home. I bow to her and Sayu and they bow back as I make my way to Lights room.

"Doubt it actually works. Go ahead and test it. There's no way it will work, it's just impossible." I inform Light. I get out my textbooks so we can study before our cram school tonight and Light turns on his TV and writes a criminals name.

"Relax. It's not going to work I'm sure of it." Light says to my surprise.

"-and, what? Okay. We just got word that the criminal has collapsed! What? Yes. We think he had a-"

"Heart attack?!" Light and I exclaim in unison. Just then, we heard a knock on the door. I'm sure it's just Mrs. Yagami.

"Light, Maurice, you're gonna be late for cram school! Come on down quickly!" We heard her say. We exchange worried looks, but I packed up our books and we headed out.

After another long class, I walk home to the Beitacle Hotel. I greet the bellhop and the front desk lady, Yukame, and get into the private elevator that leads to the penthouse. My penthouse.

"I'm home. Not that anyone cares." I kick off my shoes, set my coat on the coat hanger, and head up the steps to my room.

When I set my bag on the back of the chair at my desk, I get a call. It's from Light.

"What is it?" I ask, a little worried he did something wrong or messed up something. Then I hear another voice. It wasn't Lights, Mr. or Mrs. Yagami, or Sayu. It was lower pitched, growly, and nothing like Ive ever heard before.

"I am the shinigami Ryuk," A god of death informed me. Those exist? No way. There's no way.

I packed up my bag and ran to Lights house which was about a mile away from the Beitacle Hotel.

—————
"So.. this note.. everything.. you.. I cant handle this. Light get rid of it"

"No way Maurice. We could use this notebook for good. We could create a new world. A better world."

"Light I'm going to have to turn you in. This makes you a murderer. Just as bad as the other people out there."

"Look," he gets up, looks me in the eye, and grabs my waist. I can feel my cheeks burning.

"I love you. So much. So please, understand where Im coming from, and don't turn me in. I don't even care if you work against me, it might make it fun. Just please, either help me, or forget I even have it. And I know how we can do it."

I knew what he was thinking. And we both wanted it to happen. He had to relinquish ownership, give it to me, and then I had to relinquish ownership and give it to Light. That way, only he would know about the Death Note. And his secret would be safe, and I could work against him and he wouldn't have to kill me.
