AN: Sorry it took me so long to update! I just didn't know where to take this story! But worry not, here is a new chapter! This might be the last... I may continue it. Depends on how snarky I'm feeling.
And... just an fyi... This is a really goofy chapter. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it... I think I see some HDK (the story I'm co-writing with evilsockofghana) goofiness contaminating this...
I'm going to break some of the rules of the death note... for the better. insert evil grin here
Also... a bit of a spoiler contained within. I figure most people have read that far though, so maybe it will be okay?
Lastly... I DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE DX Do not sue me!! I'm broketh!
Light adjusted his tie nervously. He was sweating bullets, and not just because he was getting odd looks from the people around him at the fancy restaurant he was sitting in. It had been a while since that awkward first date, and now, he was ready to drop the question to Ryuk. In his shaking hands was a velvety-covered ring box, with a ring inside. The jeweler had also given him a funny look, probably due to the size he had the ring resized to.
Ryuk finally appeared out of nowhere. He had dressed up, wearing a black dress, makeup, and black stilettos. He looked stunning. He had even styled his hair.
Light stood up and gave Ryuk a hug, oblivious to the bewildered looks of the people around him. They sat down, and when the waiter came by, Light stared at the menu one last time before making his decision.
"Can I get a glass of water for now? One for him too. And a Cesar salad for me, and for him, just an apple will be fine." The waiter was used to the crazy man who ordered food for his imaginary friend. He didn't bat an eye at the odd order and wrote it all down.
Dinner went on, and Light wondered how to propose to Ryuk. The restaurant had emptied quite a bit due to the fact that a floating apple was being consumed by an invisible being, although neither Ryuk nor Light noticed. The waiter, however, was used to this as well. He was a very good waiter.
Finally, Light gathered up the courage and leaned across the table towards Ryuk, hiding the ring box in his hand.
"Ryuk... We've been seeing each other for a very long time now... I've been thinking about this long and hard, and I've decided. I... I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He opened his hand, revealing the open ring box. Ryuk's enormous eyes teared up, running mascara tracks down his face.
"Oh, Light!" He knocked his chair over as he jumped to his feet. The remaining people in the restaurant were completely spooked now and ran out the doors screaming about a poltergeist. Ryuk didn't notice, or maybe he didn't care, because he had picked light up off the ground in a bear hug, crying and just about hyperventilating. "Yes Light! I will marry you!"

Now was the big problem. Light had to find a way to break it to his father that he was in love with a shinigami. How could he ever explain that he just could never feel for Misa what he felt for Ryuk?
He was sitting in the living room with his father, trying to gather up the courage to tell his father. His father was lost in thought. He had been this way ever since L died. Light was always under the suspicion that his father had never gotten over L. He seemed to really like L, even when he insisted on acting like a monkey.
Finally. It was now or never. "Dad."
Mr. Yagami looked at Light suddenly, as if he was just noticing he was there. "Oh, Light? How long have you been there?"
"About a half hour."
"...Oh."
"I need to talk to you... It's... It's really important."
There was an awkward silence before Mr. Yagami answered finally, "You got Misa pregnant, didn't you?"
Light spat out the coffee he was drinking.
Mr. Yagami continued, "Well, I know how you feel... You were an accident too, you know."
Light managed to sputter, "No! No, that's not it! Misa isn't pregnant!"
"Oh." His father seemed relieved. "I'm not ready to be a grandfather yet anyway."
Light took a deep breath. "It's... I'm breaking up with Misa."
His father looked shocked. "Why for? Such a nice young lady."
Light paused before continuing, "Because... because... I'm... I'm in love with a shinigami!"

Later on, Light and Ryuk were sitting in his room, eating apples together.
"So, how did he take the news?" Ryuk ventured, gazing into Light's eyes.
"Better than I thought he would," he answered, returning the loving stare. "He even admitted that he had suspected it since he learned about the existence of shinigami."
"What did your mother say?"
"She doesn't know yet... It's probably for the best that she never knows." Light sighed, looking away. "I'll just have to keep acting like I'm with Misa, I guess."
Ryuk pulled him into a tight hug. "It'll be okay... We're going to get married, buy a house, and start a family. No one can stop us!"
Light managed a smile. "You're right... Let's go look at wedding dresses."
--------
It was a bright morning in April. The sun was shining, and only a few wispy clouds marred the brilliant blue sky. Everything was in place. The guests were all seated, watching Light fidget with his tux in front of the minister, a friend of Ryuk's. Of course all the human guests had to touch the death notes of both the minister and Ryuk to see them, but that was all fine and dandy, because only a few people from the police showed up anyway, out of the seven or eight invitations that were given out. Light's father looked about to burst into tears, and L, who had been reanimated just for the wedding, sat next to him, also about to cry. The shinigami seated across the aisle were just as emotional.
Finally, the stereotypical wedding music started playing, and the crowd hushed. Ryuk, wearing a long white gown, a ground-length veil, and holding a bouquet of flowers, slowly started walking down the aisle. One shinigami couldn't hold it any longer and started bawling. Light's dad and L both followed suit. Ryuk reached Light and stood next to him.
The minister talked and talked and talked, and L wondered why ministers talk so much during the ceremony. Finally, the "I do"s were said, and Light lifted Ryuk's veil (he was standing on a small stepladder). They kissed. This is such a disturbing image that I will spare you the horror of having it described to you. If you want to imagine it, be my guest, but don't come crying to me if you get nightmares.
The party afterwards was a blast, and Light and Ryuk left for their honeymoon that very night.
Their wedding night would give me nightmares too if I do anything more than just mention that it happened. I am not responsible for any brain failures if you try to imagine it.

That's the end of chapter three! I might make a chapter four just to give things closure, but this whole story is really starting to weird me out that I wrote it so... XD
