Disclaimer-I don't own Death Note
This is my first attempt to write a Death Note fanfic, I've always had this idea about Light and Ryuk, but never acted on it before. I didn't want to do some over done pairing, so I did the least likely one. Please review and let me know how the story is so far and if I should continue it.
Ryuk's P.O.V.
Generally, I don't care if Light has nightmares must nights he tosses, turns and sweats, but tonight it's different tears come from his eyes as he whimpers in his sleep. As long as I've known Light he has never once cried, over anything, not even when his dad had an heart attack. Something must be happening to push him over the edge. His arms fly around as his whimpers increase. I never felt emotions toward Light except happiness when he gets me apples, cures my boredom and play video games with me. Now I feel something else toward him, what I don't know, but it's strange to me. I don't want to see him in this pain maybe I should do something, but that would be stupid.
Sitting at the end of his bed, I watch him for hours, nothing has changed and his parents haven't come him to help him. Suddenly Light says in a small voice, "help me." I've never heard him ask for help before, not knowing what to do, I just watch him until he says it again. "Help me."
Going over to him, I reach out to touch him, I've never touched him before, but I notice his hair is what humans consider soft as I pull some of it out of his face. Strangely, he seems to relax some, deciding I'm not hurting him, I stand over him and run my fingers through his hair, just the action of me doing this, his arms stop flying and his whimpers become softer, but he is still in pain. Carefully, I place a finger on his cheek and stroke it; he shivers, but relaxes more. I keep stroking until he stops whimpering, crying and settles down, once I make sure he is sleeping peacefully, I back off and watch him some more. I've never noticed before, but when he is relaxed he has what human girls call beauty. I've only seen beauty in the human world, which I will give them credit for like apples. I've seen a few times, that Light has used his beauty to his advantage in going for his goals of being a god of this world especially with women. Beauty is non-existent in the Shinigami world, everything is dead or rotting; everyone is lazy even the boss, there is no point in being there. As I continue watching him, he makes a slight sound, but he doesn't cry out again, turning over on his side, I notice that his back is soaked in sweat. I've heard that humans that get that wet and not change will get colds, a possibility for Light, I should wake him up; he hates to be sick.
Deciding what to do, I go in his dresser and pull out another one of his shirts he sleeps in, going back to him, I lift him up as gently as I can and take off his night shirt. Light is not very heavy for a human, he feels like a doll in my arms. His skin is wet, lying him back down, I fly into the bathroom and get a towel to dry him, once I'm done, I put the new shirt on his and lay him back down. Sitting at the edge of his bed again, I think about why I was so nice to do something like that for him.
Soon the sun comes out and Light wakes up and loses the relax face he had. Staring at him, I watch him grab his items for a shower. Before he leaves he asks me. "What are you looking at Ryuk?"
"Nothing," obviously he doesn't remember last night, in a way I wish he did.
How was the first chapter, I didn't want to make it to long, just have everyone get a feel for it. Thanks for reading and please review.
Next chapter-if I get enough positive feedback.
