Characters: Izaya, Light
Prompt: Death Note crossover. Someone is killing off his beloved humans. Izaya dislikes this.
Gravity
Izaya was not a happy boy. The mysterious deaths were all over the news, which was already annoying enough, but when he had one of his beloved humans die on the spot right before he convinced her to jump off a building Izaya just knew that he had had enough of this. It was about time he put an end to this.
That was how he found himself stalking a certain Yagami Light. Izaya figured out the deal with his magical note of wonders almost right away. Instead of wasting time with long soliloquies, dramatic music ensembles with Latin chorus and even more dramatic scribbling, he simply acted like the gossiping informant he was and got Celty to ask around the place where the Shinigami hung out. Headless riders were related to death gods, he was sure. After getting rid of the Mini-Lights (including a particularly stressed out bespectacled fellow that clearly needed to unwind a bit) and the creepy shouta detective (perhaps the creepiest person Izaya had ever encountered) he had cleared all the preliminaries. So he sent a letter to Light and waited for him on top of his favorite skyscraper.
Izaya had to give credit when credit was due, Light was punctual.
"Hello, Light-kun!"
"Are you the one who called me out here?"
"Indeed I am."
"Ha! Just as planned! I've written your name in my Death Note so you'll die in four, three, two, one-"
"Argh! Heart attack! No wait, I feel fine now."
Some wild gesticulation from Light.
"How can you be alive?"
"You see, Light-kun. I exchanged your death note with a fake death note, then I replaced that with another note for kinks, then I made confetti out of a few more notes, and then I took the real note and made origami."
Izaya produced a paper swan. Light thought very fast.
"I see. You must want to pledge your loyalty to Kira if you haven't used the real note to kill me yet."
"Not really. Look, I also made a bunny."
Light wondered, maybe this fellow was pretending to be an idiot to get him to lower his guard. Clearly he had some hidden agenda. All was well, all he had to do was figure him out to eliminate him. The weird unfaltering smile made him slightly nervous.
"An origami rabbit?"
"Oh my, I am floored at your power of observation. You clearly are a genius. Whee."
Izaya flapped around wildly as if he was about to take flight. Light was too stunned to even remember that he was supposed to be alert at all times.
"What are you doing? Are you insane?"
"Light-kun, Light-kun, guess what? Do you know about gravity?"
"What about it?"
Here it was, a trick question. Light was confident that he was working his way around this craziness and making progress.
"Gravity is amazing! It's so democratic, too!"
"What are you going on about-"
Izaya gave him a hard shove. And thus Light went flying off the roof and straight into the concrete a hundred floors below.
"Bye bye Light-kun! Don't forget this important lesson! Smart people fall as hard as dumb ones!"
Izaya skipped away merrily. Ryuk watched him leave and had one thing to say:
"Now that human really is interesting."
