Light woke up to find Ryuk sitting over him.
"You know someone's watching you right Light?" he blurted out
"What?" Light murmured sleepily
"Someone's been following you for a while now"
"Okay"
"OKAY?! It's freaking me out!"
"Calm down Ryuk he'll come to the conclusion sooner or later that I'm innocent… I do nothing out of the ordinary anyway."
"Okay fine. Can we get apples to calm my nerves though?" He said as sweetly as a shinigami could.
"Fine" Light groaned loudly.
Light got up and dressed himself in comfy clothes, he was tired. Writing names in the death note all night was starting to wear him out. Ryuk looked at him as he performed this act, just then light thought about the shinigamis sexuality.
Do gods of death even have romantic feelings? He pondered.
Surely not.
He finished getting ready and went downstairs. He said goodbye to his father, who was the only one awake at this time, and went on his way.
"So Light, do you have a girlfriend?" the shinigami asked while sniggering
Light paused.
"No" he said after a minute.
"Really?" Ryuk said in surprise "A strapping young man like you?"
Light didn't want to talk about this for some reason and even he didn't know why.
"Ryuk, if someone is following me they're going to notice if I'm talking to myself."
"Oh right okay"
They reached the grocers and Light bought a bag of apples. There was about ten in the bag but he knew it would last Ryuk five minutes if he was lucky.
"Thanks Light"
Light merely nodded and kept walking. He was starting to get different feelings towards this being and he didn't know if he liked it. It was almost as if he was starting to like, dare say love, this… thing… and as he thought about this Ryuk stared at him.
"What's wrong Light?"
Is the feeling mutual? Both Ryuk and Light thought this as the silence drowned them.
They kept walking.
As the pair reached the Yagami house they looked at each other, but quickly looked away.
They walked up the pathway and got to the door and as Light opened it Ryuk said something but Light didn't quite catch it.
"I'm sorry what?" Light asked
But the god of death stayed silent.
They walked up the stairs to Lights room and Light slumped onto the bed, exhausted, as the shinigami watched over him.
"Light?"
"Yes Ryuk?
