This Much I know is True
Warning- Mello has very 'colorful' vocabulary

A/N- The phrase 'This much I know is true' seemed like a great title so I wrote a story around it.
Misa lay on her back on top of the huge soft bed, staring at the ceiling. It was past eleven… how long did Light have to work? She wore a skimpy black nightgown and had been for the last three hours. She thought about asking Light to come sleep with her; but he would just yell at her…. Poor light, she thought, Being L and Kira must be so stressful on him. She sighed and rolled over to grab a fashion magazine on the bedside table. Misa flipped through it listlessly, smiling slightly when she saw her own face staring back at her. But she had read it already, twice, it bored her. She threw it on the ground. Dumb magazine!
Misa sighed again, longer this time and sat up. It was midnight! Was he going to be gone all night? No, she told herself, he will come home soon. She ran to the bathroom to fix her hair and adjust the nightgown, which really wasn't, much more than an undershirt. That should cheer him up! Returning to their room, she flopped back on to the bed just as the door handle turned. Light walked into the room looking sour.
"Light!" she exclaimed.
"Misa, did you finish your Kira duties?"
"Of course, darling," she purred. "Light come sleep with Misa!"
He sighed exasperated. "Not now Misa, I need to finish some more things with the task force." He got some papers out of a cabinet and started towards the door again. Misa felt stung, she had waited for him all night! Hot tears burned her eyes momentarily. Light stopped before reaching the door and turned around. He noticed her expression. "I just came in to say goodnight. Get some rest sweetie." The words sounded unnatural on his lips but Misa didn't noticed.
"Oh Light! I love you! Misa will be a good girl and go to sleep," she said adoringly, already over it.
He sighed again. "Yeah, I love you too." And he left the room without looking back.
Of course he loves me, she thought, he's just busy and stressed. Once we make his new world he will have more time to be with me. And I love him more than anything in the world; that much I know is true.
Light is a terrible person. That's all I have to say. Reviews?
