Consort Note (Valentine's Special!)
How to Use: III
Only those who touched Consort Note will see its respective cupid. However, cupid does not need to follow his Notebook.
Watari dropped Light in front of the school gate. Ryuuzaki's uniforms weren't that bad after all. They were used but inodorous. Perhaps, Ryuuzaki didn't sweat a lot. But one thing that was bad was the fact that his backbones were deformed and no matter how Light tried, he couldn't stand straight.
In class, Light waited for Ryuuzaki to show up in his body. "Since this happened to me, the same thing must have happened to him," he thought. But Ryuuzaki entered the class only after the teacher finished taking the presence, with a lollipop in his mouth. It was his habit to always have something sweet around. But everyone seemed to take him as light.
"Mr Yagami, you're late!" The teacher said without turning his look away from his attendance sheet.
"Sorry, I don't have an alarm clock."
Light almost fell off his chair. In fact, he never used alarm clock because he could wake up each day on time without any alarm. It was a natural or almost genetic ability to wake up automatically, like roosters'. On the other hand, Ryuuzaki always need something or someone, like Watari, for a morning call.
"Are you saying this isn't your fault?" The teacher poked his glasses. "If you didn't add those extra words after 'sorry', I would let you in without any punishment. But since this is not the case, I'll ask you to do your speech first."
How shameful, it was the first lateness in Light's entire life record – and of course it wasn't his fault; and worst, Ryuuzaki must do Light's speech. This speech was part of the mid-term evaluation. It needed a miracle to pass, not only because Ryuuzaki's speech improvisation ability was low, also because he completely didn't know the content of Light's speech. The topic was given by the teacher and it was the same for all students. But Ryuuzaki had already passed yesterday; he couldn't just repeat his ideas.
Ryuuzaki walk to the front of the class. He looked confident and calm. Maybe he doesn't care, because this grade would go to Light's record anyway. So he stepped behind the rostrum, his eyes scanned the classroom. When he saw his body, i.e.: Light, he stopped, frizzed. While everyone else was waiting and gazing at him, he just stood there, looking at Light and those big dark circles. Light looked back, waiting. His eyes and his eyes… They finally stopped looking at each other when Light decided to turned his head away. Ryuuzaki moved and began, "That is all I have to say for the earthquake in Haiti."
Hearing that, Light almost broke his pen. However, everybody else applauded. "Amazing, as expected from Light!" Misa commented. Somehow that small sentence turned out to be all Ryuuzaki needed to say.
