Chapter 3: Something New

Light woke up once again, feeling slightly better now. He could move around in the bed and he felt like his legs would support his weight, but he felt he should rest some more before he walked.

"Misa?" Light called out wondering where she was.

"My Raito-kun is awake! Yay!" Misa exclaimed as she came into the room.

"How long had I been asleep for?" he asked

"8 hours, you've been doing some sleeping" Misa smiled

"I feel better now" Light said

"Raito-kun wouldnt let a few scars break him down would he?" Misa replied happily

"It was alot more than those scars on my body Misa..." Light sighed

"Oh...yeah" Misa said, realizing what he was talking about "Look, we can just put our past behind us right now...cant we?"

"I thought we already had" Light said, disappointed

"Oh! I never thought you put it behind you, Raito-kun" she replied

"I did my best, I think I managed, I think" Light said "And, dont call me Raito-kun, that name has too many bad memories attatched to it, from you, I prefer just Light"

Light could remember all the times she screamed that name out in fear, he didnt want to associate himself with who he was anymore

"Ok then, Light" Misa said as she climbed into the bed with Light "If you prefer it like this"

Light opened up his arms to welcome her and she rested her head on his chest.

"Ngh" Light grunted as she lay down on the spot where he pressed her boots against

"Oh! Im sorry Light! I forgot about that, oh that was s-" she began but she got interrupted as Light leaned in forward and shut her up with a kiss "...nevermind"

"It's all I can do" Light sighed as he drew back "I wish I could do more for you, but not in this state"

"What are you saying, you've done enough" Misa said, Light turned away his head

"I know now that you love me, or at least I hope" he began

"I do love you Light, didnt you believe me last night?" Misa asked

"I did, but its all too good...to be true. Think about the way I've treated not just you, but everyone...and out of all the people, I don't deserve...someone like you" he said, looking away. He felt Misa's hand on his chin, she turned him back to face her

"Light, I love you, and no one will ever change that" she assured him

"Honestly..." Light continued, he wanted to just let everything out "I'm scared of one thing in this world, losing you"

"You don't need to be scared of something that wont happen" Misa reassured him

"Misa..." Light sighed and pulled her in close to him. He tightened his grip on her as if he clinged onto her for dear life, Misa returned his embrace. Light felt slightly more comfortable.

"Light? Can I try something?" Misa asked him, she had a rather playful smile drawn across her lips

"Uh..." Light said, unsure of her intentions "Why not?"

"Look up for just a sec" Misa said and Light averted his gaze towards the ceiling tilting his head upward. He couldnt see anything unusual or strange onto the ceiling and wondered why Misa had asked him to look up until he felt Misa's lips gently brush onto his neck. Light closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation for the one second that it lasted. Misa pulled back.

"You don't mind me kissing you on the neck do you, Light?" Misa asked. Usually Light would do that, since he considered it a male's job to kiss the neck, but now he could care less

"I don't mind at all" Light said turning his head up "Do it again"

Misa leaned in and kissed him again, once, twice, then Light let out a soft moan, Misa could feel it against his neck, she felt Light's hand wrap around the back of her head and press her onto him, three times and finally four.

Light sighed with pleasure as Misa pulled away again. He turned to the mirror, 5 black lipstick stains marked his neck. He felt his neck with his hand, the burning hot sensation still lingered lightly on the spots where Misa had kissed him

"You mean the world to me, Misa" Light said as he ran his hand down Misa's face

"You are my world, Light" she replied and Light smiled and leaned in and kissed her again, and again, and again.

Light drew back and stretched abit, before lying back down. Misa was about to lie on him but she remembered that his chest had hurt. She stop but she was still on top of him. Light wrapped his arm around her and put her down onto him

"Light doesnt this hurt you?" she asked

"I'd rather have you rest on me" Light said "I know, I've lied in the past, I know I've probably been the worst boyfriend you've ever had, I let my power blind me..."

"Light stop" Misa said "Aren't you overreacting abit? Besides didnt you say you wanted to forget the past?"

"I'm gonna get this out of me for good, sorry if this is getting repetitive, but I'm going to ask you one last time, and if you lie to me, then I got exactly what I deserved all this time, if you don't...then I'm just never running out of luck apparently" Light said

"Let it all flow out, it's going to be ok" Misa said

"Do you really and honestly love me?" Light asked again, Misa could feel his heart beating faster against his chest where she was laying on. "At this point it's better to live the lie to be honest, but later on the truth will be more painful. Just have some pity for the...for the one who pitied no one else I guess...if I'm even worthy of yours, and tell me the absolute truth now"

Misa got up and climbed on top of him careful not to touch any points where it would hurt.

"Light, I have one question to ask you as well" she said "Do you trust me?"

"I...I do" Light replied

"Then look me in the eyes and tell me that you believe me when I tell you I love you and that you wont doubt 'us' ever again Light" Misa said and Light locked gazes with her.

She saw the broken and helpless look in his eyes, he was crying out for her to help him, but that soon stopped

He saw the look in her eyes, hopeful, loving, tender all the things he had never been and would never deserve, were there in front of him. It was settled, Light finally completely believed her. He got back up, while she was still sitting on his lap. He kissed her.

Once

"For every time I wasnt there"

Twice

"For everytime I did something to you"

Three times

"For every time you forgave me"

Four times

"And for every time you were there to catch me when I fell"

Five times

"I promise I'll be there for you and do everything I should've done and more"

Light looked at her in the eyes

"Now," he asked "Would you believe me if I told you I'd turn the world upside down for you, My Goddess of the New World"

"I do Light!" She exclaimed and without controlling herself she rushed forward to hug Light and they both fell down onto the bed again

"Misa" Light said "Give me everything I don't deserve"

Misa didnt even waste time to reply and instead just kissed Light on the neck again, on the other side now. Light smiled, it was something she'd never done before yet it was like she knew exactly where and how to touch him. He just threw his head back and let Misa carry him through the clouds and into a heaven of bliss...
