Ryuuzaki pov
It's early in the morning when I wake up, I've never been good at sleeping in. Light is still fast asleep, he lies on his belly with a wonderful smile, mumbling something I can't understand. His muscular back rises every time he breaths. This beautiful young man next to me is like a gift from god. He moans softly while he mumbles half sentences. Why is he a man? How does he have this impact on me? Softly I follow his spine with my cold fingers, because of this he shivers. He rolls to his side, his back facing to me. I lie back down and put my arms around his waist. If he wakes, I just act asleep, he can't blame me for something I do in my sleep. He turns again so I close my eyes. Now he's facing me, and I don't know if he's awake. His breath softly strokes my face every couple of seconds and I feel his hand on my cheek.
''why can't this be normal?'' He sighs in a whisper. Then he slowly moves my arms and gets up from the bed. I hear him shuffle across the floor, trying not to wake me. I roll on my back and raise myself. He turns around and smiles.
''I hope I didn't wake you.'' He says.
''no, you didn't, I'm just hungry.'' I answer and get up from his bed.
''well, let's have breakfast.'' He says with his sweet voice. I nod and follow him to the kitchen in nothing but my pajama pants. His firm behind looks amazingly well from this side. Yes, I put my hand on his buttocks last night while he was asleep. I don't feel bad about it, he has an wonderful tight behind. It's like chocolate pudding, that good. When we go into the kitchen, his mom greets us good morning.
''how did you boys sleep?'' she asks us.
''wonderful miss Yagami, thank you.'' I reply politely.
''yeah, me too.'' Light says, still a little drowsy. He's cute when he has just awoken. And as he sleeps. Well, he is always cute. Damn it, why do I feel this way? Why do I act like this? This is not me. Usually I am all about logic and calculations, maybe it's because of this new town. Yeah, that must be it, I cannot be in love with this youth.
''Light-kun, you're awfully quiet this morning.'' Miss Yagami says.
''hm? Oh, yeah, I think I'm still a little sleepy.'' He explains.
''what time do we have to be at school?'' I ask him.
''class starts at 1.15 pm, so we have to catch the train from 12.30.'' He says softly. The clock on the wall says it's now 11.30, so we have an hour. I empty the plate of disgusting healthy food and stand.
''I'm going to take a shower.'' I say and go back upstairs. Leaving him alone with his mother. I shower quickly and when I get back into Light's room, I hear him and his mother speak.
''so you've become friends?'' she asks.
''yeah, but for some reason I feel strange. I mean, I like him and all, but I can't get him out of my head.'' He says, softly like he doesn't want me to hear it.
''what do you mean? You like, like him?'' his mother asks like she is a teenage girl, craving for gossip.
''well, I don't know, I hope not, dad would kill me.'' Light says. Well, typical Japanese, other gays are not to be disgusted, as long as they are not in your own family. If I turned out to be gay, I'd have no family to judge me, so for me, it would not really matter, but for him, it would most likely to be a disaster.
''no he would not. Light, your father loves you, in his eyes your perfect, and he will always think of you that way.'' His mother says. I hear Light sigh deeply. He does not believe her.
''I don't know mom, this perfect picture he has of me, I like it but it's a little much. I really can't keep up with that.'' He tells her. I button my jeans and put on my shirt. Then I look in the mirror. My weary eyes together with my entangled hair, of course he questions himself. No one will ever love me. That and I am almost anorexic. I ignore myself-hating thoughts and head back down stairs. Light passes me on the stairs and smiles at me. I smile back and again, go sit in the kitchen.
''so, Ryuuzaki-san, what is it that your parents do?'' she asks.
''oh, well, my parents past away when I was young, I live with a caretaker.'' I tell her.
''oh, I'm so sorry.'' She apologizes.
''don't worry, I get this a lot.'' I reassure her.
''well, you can stay as long as you'd like.'' She says.
''thank you, but I don't plan to stay long, I am looking for an apartment, I want to study at the university in Tokyo to join the police task force, so as soon as I've got time, I will be looking for a place to live.'' I tell her.
''oh, really? Light also wants to go to the police academy. Maybe you two will be in the same class.'' She says happily.
''yeah maybe.'' I respond. I can't have that happening. Thanks to him, my emotions stand in the way of thinking logical. And it actually pisses me off that I can't focus on anything for longer than 2 minutes. Not even food!
Light pov
When we are in class, Ryuuzaki takes the place next to me and smiles. I wish he could be mine. Or at least that he would feel the same way. The teacher starts his lesson while Ryuuzaki keeps writing in his notebook. Behind us, I again hear some girls gossiping softly. It keeps annoying me.
''can you see it? What is he so focused on?'' one of the idiots asks.
''he's writing LY with hearts around it.'' Another giggles.
''what? Is he in love? Like he'd ever find it, looking like that.'' On this I turn around and look at the three blond Lolita girls.
''can you shut up for even a second?'' I ask them loud and rudely. The entire class is silent, everyone looks at me.
''Yagami-san, please go to the principal's office.'' The teacher says. I sigh deeply and look at Ryuuzaki.
''I'll see you after class.'' I whisper and leave the room. I really don't want to go to the principal. The man is so strange. Rumor has it that he comes on to students. I decide that it's not needed to go and leave the building. I go to the bakery and ask for a chocolate cake to go. Then I go back outside and lay on the grass. Knowing that Ryuuzaki can see me if he would look out the window. Yesterday we exchanged phone numbers. Well, he put his number in my phone and called himself. My phone buzzes, so I check the screen. A text message from 'L'. Trying to remember who L must be, I open the text. 'please quit taunting me and go to the principal's office, or you won't sleep so quietly tonight.' I can't suppress my smile and answer the text. 'please pay attention to the teacher or I'll be making it hard for you too.' I send back. Not much later, the school bell rings loudly. There is an afternoon break now so I keep lying in the grass. Then Ryuuzaki surprises me by taking place on my lap. The sun shines behind him.
''well hello.'' I say with a smile.
''well hello, why did you get so angry with those girls?'' he asks me. Why? No idea why I got angry over it, but it was because they were mean.
''they were talking mean about you.'' I tell him truthfully.
''you don't have to protect me, Light-san.'' He says, looking offended.
''I know, but still, they do that every single day in every single class, it annoys me.'' I tell him on which he smiles.
''you're cute when you're angry.'' He spills out giggling.
''you're cute when annoyed.'' I tell him, my face close to his. I want him to kiss me. I want to show everyone I like him.
''so, you've been laying in the grass this whole hour?'' he asks.
''no, I've got you chocolate cake.'' I tell him and give him the small container.
''you noticed it this morning?'' he laughs. Why wouldn't I have noticed this morning, all I notice is him.
''yeah, I could clearly see it.'' I laugh.
''how sweet of you. Thank you, Light-kun.'' He says, less formally and starts eating the cake with his bare hands. Now I want to be that piece of cake. It's amazing how he keeps appreciating all the sweets he stuffs himself with.
''so, do you only eat unhealthy?'' I ask him, pointing at the cake.
''my body got used to it as healthy food, that's the advantage of being an unhealthy human.'' He says smiling and takes another bite.
''you overload yourself with sugar.'' I tell him.
''and still I'm skinnier than you.'' He says and holds a bit of his cake in front of me. I open my mouth and he lets it fall.
''hm… alright, that is good cake.'' I admit to him.
''I know, right?'' he says happily. Again I sit up, my face close to his.
''Light-kun, not here.'' He says softly an pushing me away.
''but Ryuuzaki-kun.'' I start but he stops me, I want to be with this man.
''not until your fathers permission, Light-kun.'' He says. Why my father's permission, if I do this and he doesn't accept, he'll just kick me out of the family like any normal family.
It's late when I am doing my homework. Ryuuzaki is still out hunting for apartments and it annoys me that he isn't back. My phone rings so I pick up.
''Light Yagami speaking.'' I say, while still trying to focus on my homework in which I fail miserably.
''hey, it's me, I'm heading home now.'' I hear Ryuuzaki on the phone.
''okay, you find something?'' I ask, hoping he didn't. if he finds something, I'll have to miss him.
''well, there is this one place I really like, but I'll have to find an roommate. It's too big.'' He says.
''really?'' I reply, not knowing what he wants from me. Of course, if he asks me, I'll move in with him right away.
''yeah, it's a two minute walk from the university I want to attend to, which I have a 67% change of being accepted into, before I get my degree. It's a fair price a month so I think about taking it.'' He says.
''what university?'' I ask. Secretly hoping he will go to Rissho-university.
''Rissho-university, why?'' he asks. Thank you god, for saving my love life on tiny bit!
''well, if you want a roommate, I will also attend to Rissho-university after my meeting.'' I say.
''really? When is your interview?'' I ask him.
''tomorrow.'' I tell him and then I hear a tone that he has hung up or his service has disconnected. I look at my phone and put it down. I look at the drawing and shock when I feel two cold hands on my naked back. Striking forward to my chest, where after two lips are pressed in my neck. I turn my head and smell a combination of chocolate and strawberries. It is a typical Ryuuzaki scent.
''come here.'' I say softly to him so he takes a seat upon my lap.
''Light-kun.'' He whispers softly, with just a tiny space between our lips. I have to tease him, I have to get him to kiss me. Still, my body does not want to wait for him to finally make this move. It's so frustration, if I try to bad, he'll lose interest.
''how about now?'' I ask him. Confused he stares at me. In my opinion, asking for a kiss is different than forcing it.
''please Ryuuzaki-kun, kiss me.'' I beg him. He presses his forehead against mine and his hands caress my neck. I lay my hand behind his head and kiss him. His soft lips are like silk. I playfully bite his lip, hoping for permission for a French kiss. But he does not grand me this permission.
''just kiss me.'' I implore. My left hand on his chest, my right hand on his leg. He sighs deeply, stands up, pulling me with him to the bed. He pushes me down and takes place on my lap. He presses me into the mattress and looks at me.
''this is wrong.'' He says, slowly and controlling. It's wrong, but he wants this as bad as I do.
''do you care, keeping it a secret for now? Nothing wrong with two friends having fun together.'' I say, I need this.
''can you keep that a secret?'' he replies on which I kiss him. He's slightly startled by this but does give in for a moment.
''I can try.'' I tell him on which he smiles. He places his lips upon mine and while his tongue glides over my lips, it's like fireworks explode, he's hands grab me everywhere over my body. My breath is faster when he puts a pause to our kiss by biting on my lip. My hands slowly seek his belly for flesh or some sort of sign that he's healthy. Then I feel his ass. A tight piece of meat on this beautiful body, normally I would find it disgusting that a person would be this skinny, I'd ask myself what was wrong that he or she would do this to himself. But for some reason, I don't mind. He's perfect. He's amazingly healthy for someone with this kind of diet.
''dinner is ready!'' I hear my father call. Both we sigh, knowing dad will come in if we don't go to the kitchen. And since he hasn't met my father, it wouldn't be easy if we were found like this.
''well, time to meet your father.'' He says softly and gives me another kiss. Then he stands up, I push him against the door and force him to kiss me. I just want one more.
''we have to go, or they'll catch us, and then we won't see each other again.'' He says. I nod and release my grip. We go down to the kitchen and my dad looks at us.
''nice to meet you Ryuuzaki-san.'' My dad says to Ryuuzaki and bows.
''nice to meet you too, Yagami-san.'' Ryuuzaki replies and makes a bow back. We sit and eat, dad talks about his workday to mom, Sayu is flirting with Ryuuzaki, Ryuuzaki is just eating and ignoring Sayu. He's so cute when he ignores her.
''are you two getting along?'' dad asks. Quickly I shake off that last thought and nod.
''yeah, we are, finally someone with intellect to talk to.'' I say on which Ryuuzaki raises his head.
''I have to agree on that, your son is a wonderful mixture between social value and intelligence.'' Ryuuzaki says with his sensitive tender voice, which makes me melt.
''so, how was apartment hunting, Ryuuzaki-san?'' mother asks him. Please let me daydream about him without them noticing!
''well, I found something real close to Rissho-university.'' Ryuuzaki says in a whisper.
''Rissho-university? That's a 2 hour trip from here, isn't it?'' dad says, looking at me.
''yes, it is.'' Ryuuzaki says, also looking at me.
''in fact, since we are practically roommates now, we thought about moving in together, if it's okay with you.'' I say. Ryuuzaki seems to relax a bit, of course he couldn't ask my parents if I could move in with him, they have to give permission, but they cannot make me do something. And Ryuuzaki doesn't really show what he wants, or takes it, like I do.
''well, since both of you seem really into this university, and Light-kun, I trust you in doing your homework, and trying to graduate top of the class, so you have my permission.'' Father says.
''thank you father.'' I say quietly and empty my plate. I need to get out of here before it goes into some wrong direction as usual.
''I'm going to do my homework.'' I say and go up to my room. I finish my math homework in no more than 15 minutes. Then Ryuuzaki comes in and throws himself on my bed. Obviously annoyed about something.
''what is it?'' I ask him.
''your sister and her flirting, do you think your dad will take back his consent of us living to getter if I kissed you in his presence?'' he asks, more annoyed than I ever seen him.
''I don't know, and you can tell a little lie to Sayu that you have a girlfriend or something.'' I say.
''yeah, that is an option, but I'd rather don't, the truth always comes out.'' He sighs and sits up straight. He comes to me and sits on my lap. Softly he puts his skinny arms around me and hugs me. I put my face in his neck, I smell his sweet scent of chocolate and strawberries. His own perfect mixture. I have to say, after all the rumors I heard, I thought that he wouldn't be this emotional. He does show his emotions a lot, only when we are alone. Only I have seen this side of him, at least, I think. And this is actually nothing, where does he keep his emotions?
''what are you doing to me?'' he whispers softly in my ear and he kisses my cheek. I love it when he's so open.
''you tell me.'' I say on which he smiles.
''weird that we've become so close after only two days.'' He says.
''true, must be faith.'' I laugh softly. Suddenly he stands tall, grabs my exercise book and looks at it. Then the door opens and dad appears. How did he notice that?
''no, you're doing it right.'' Ryuuzaki says and gives me back the exercise book.
''Light-kun, will you help me getting the mattress from the attic?'' he asks, slightly confused by Ryuuzaki his commend.
''sure dad.'' I say, slightly disappointed and raise. I want to lay in Ryuuzaki his arms!
''no, go on with your homework, I'll help him.'' Ryuuzaki says and follows him. Still not what I want to be happening.
Ryuuzaki pov
I walk behind Yagami-san and follow him up to the attic.
''it's a heavy lift.'' He says, smiling like he wants to test me.
''all right, let's do this the smart way then.'' I say on which he smiles.
''I've notices you and Light have become rather close.'' He says. What does he want to know?
''well, you are right, we indeed have.'' I say on which he smiles. We pick up the heavy mattress and get it to the second floor. We put it on the floor in Light his room, where Light has disappeared from his chair. Most likely, he went to take a shower. Sir Yagami says something and leaves. Disappointed I look at the bed. I want to sleep next to Light. I hear the door close and see Light through the mirror in his underwear.
''what are you disappointed about?'' he asks me with his amazing smile.
''I have to admit, I'd rather lie next to you.'' I sigh.
''well, I won't arrest you.'' He laughs. I roll my eyes at his comment and turn around. He's closer to me than just before. As I put a short kiss on his lips, I hear his mother call him for his assistance. We go back to the first floor where she commands him to do something while his dad looks confused. I myself go in the kitchen and grab one of the desserts I bought this afternoon. Secretly looking at lights delicate behind, while he tries to pick up the gigantic box in front of him. I like this view a lot.
''now, your mother told me about your conversation yesterday, I want you to know that I don't mind if you are like that. I just have to get used to it. As long as your honest.'' His father starts. The conversation from yesterday? Does he mean the 'I might be gay' conversation he had with his mom? Sayu smiles at me and sighs.
''they think Light-kun is gay.'' She giggles. So he does mean that conversation.
''really? So now what?'' I ask, as if I just make small talk. To tell a lie to Sayu, or just act polite, that is easy, but doing it to Light, that is a hard task. Besides the fact that I like him, he is, himself, a great liar. He can see through my lies easily. And I don't like lying to him.
''well, Light told mom about liking someone, mom did the rest, she talked him down, then she talked to dad. And now, dad is trying to tell Light, he doesn't mind.'' She says. What is it with girls and always gossiping? Where is the logic behind 'I heard that…'? it's like saying you like chocolate, but never tasted it. But on the other hand, I now know Light is in fact in love and looking at his way of behavior, it might be me. This brings a smile to my face.
''so, do you like Light-kun?'' she suddenly asks, pulling me out of my mind. I was just picturing him naked.
''yes, he has been a great friend.'' I say softly, I'm not going to tell her how I feel.
''oh, don't play dumb, you know what I mean, do you like, like him?'' she asks again. What is it with her and wanting to know everything? It irritates me. Maybe it's how Light explains dumb people, they fill their mind with useless information.
''I don't get what you are saying.'' I say and continue eating my late night snack. After a little while of ignoring Sayu her questions, Light walks in.
''Ryuuzaki-san, it's a miracle that you're still alive with all the sugar you put into your body.'' He says to me with a playful laugh.
''perhaps you should try it, it's delicious.'' I say and hold the spoon with pudding in front of him. He smiles and accepts the bite.
''really, how do you survive?'' he says laughing. I love that laugh so much.
''it's an addiction to sugars.'' I say softly. He rolls his eyes, grabs my wrist and takes me back to his room. There, he kisses me while pressing me against the wall. A slight moan escapes from my mouth when he presses his crotch against me.
