-Light loves Ryuzaki-

Japan-

The clock on the dresser read 2:48 am in the morning. Light groaned in frustration as he tossed and turned on his bed before finally getting up and going into the bathroom for some water. He caught a glimspe of his reflection and noticed that he had slight shadows under his eyes. He splashed some cold water on his handsome face before flicking off the bathroom light.

Tonight was the third night in a row that he dreamed he was kissing Ryuzaki, the new kid at his school. The guy was strange with his mop of black, spiky hair, deathly pale skin, big black eyes with dark shadows underneath- Light knew that the guy posed no threat in competition with the women.

Then why the hell was Light dreaming about Ryuzaki's full lips pressed to his? And those same lips wrapped around another part of Light's body- over and over again?

The only reason Light had become the new students friend was that he was very smart. Finally, he had someone he could talk to that had the same way of thinking and the same intellect as he did. It was refreshing.

However, this was not a good enough reason for Light to be having these kinds of dreams about another guy!

'I am not gay! I cannot be, can I? I wonder if Ryuzaki's gay." Light wondered as he made himself think about his girlfriend, Takada.

He focused on her shapely body and beautiful face and silky hair. He started to calm down as he lay back down in his bed and imagined he was nuzzling through her thick dark hair…

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he began dreaming that he had yanked Ryuzaki's head back and was running his tongue along the man's jaw line. while he stroked the other mans...

"Damnit!" Light thought angrily as he realized his thoughts had once again returned to him seducing Ryuzaki.

This was going to be a long night!

The next morning-

Light did not wait for Ryuzaki before school as he usually did. Instead, he found Takada sitting with her group of girlfriends and spent the moments before class with her. He could see the longing in the other girls stares and could feel their jealousy towards his girlfriend. He smiled at them all for it was flattering that most of them wished he was their boyfriend. The auburn-haired man had never lacked for a girlfriend….but honestly he felt happier without one.

Once in class, Light found himself waiting for Ryuzaki to enter the room. There was a rumor that the black-haired man was extremely rich and he was even a millionaire. Light didn't believe those rumours.

Light wondered then if Ryuzaki was SO rich, why did he wear the same outfit to school everyday? He always wore a long sleeved white t-shirt, baggy blue jeans and a much worn out pair of sneakers with no socks. The guy was an eccentric loser and way below Light in popularity- so why was he dreaming of making love to him for the last few nights? It was maddening and he had to put a stop to it.

Right before the bell rang, Light saw Ryuzaki enter the classroom. He hurried and buried his head in a book as the guy walked down the aisle to his desk.

As usual, Ryuzaki stopped by Light's desk. "Good morning, Light-kun. I missed you at the coffee shop this morning," the black-haired man told Light in his quiet and soothing voice.

Light looked up at the man but avoided looking into those mesmerizing dark eyes. "Get lost, Ryuzaki. I can't waste time hanging out with you anymore, it's hurting my reputation," he said as coldly as he could but he didn't mean it….but he HAD to put a stop to those dreams because he was afraid they might come true.

There was silence from Ryuzaki as he took in the brunt of the harsh words from Light. The auburn-haired man looked up at the black-haired man and saw that he looked very sad. Light felt his stomach drop when the man replied "Very well, Light-kun. I will not bother you with my presence again." and shuffled off to his desk.

Therefore, even though it had hurt Light to do so- Ryuzaki was history.

And Light felt miserable about it.
