"Light!" Misa exclaimed, wrapping her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders. He was sitting on the couch, trying to read over some of the police files about Kira. At least, he was attempting to.
"What is it?" he snapped a little too harshly, causing Misa to pout.
"Why do you get so mad at me?" she whined.
Light sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I was trying to find out what L has on us to make sure we don't get caught and, you know, thrown in jail. But that's not as important as what you're about to tell me." Sarcasm was heavy in his voice.
"Well, that's important, too, but I have something I want to show you," she squealed. She pulled from behind her a book, thrusting it at Light. "I just finished reading this and I couldn't put it down. It's so romantic and beautiful."
Light took it from her, reading the cover. It was called Wuthering Heights. He had heard of it before but hadn't wanted to read it. It looked to him like a novel only girls could enjoy.
"Misa, I really don't care to read that," Light said, turning back to his research. She intercepted him, closing the lid of his laptop teasingly.
"Oh, but it's a great book. It all about romance and a beautiful love two people share. It reminds me of us, Light," Misa said, snuggling closer to him.
"That doesn't sound like my kind of book," Light said.
Misa huffed. "Oh right, you're only into the books that you can write someone's name down and kill them. I understand."
Light stopped reaching for his laptop, retracting his hand and groaning. She was playing the guilt card.
"Fine, tell me one thing I will like about this book," he said, sitting back and deciding to let her have her moment of fun. He had plenty of time to do more research.
Misa clapped her hands with a smile. "It's not just a romantic novel. There's plenty of cool things like ghosts and abuse and all that boy stuff. You'll like the action parts."
Light sighed once more. "Fine," he said, grabbing the book. "If I promise to read it will you let me continue researching to make sure we don't get thrown in jail?"
Misa nodded. "Of course, Light."
Light continued, talking to Misa as if he were talking to a five-year-old. "And if I don't like it after reading it will you promise to not approach me on the subject ever again."
Misa nodded again. "Yes."
"Fine," Light said, cracking open the book. "This shouldn't take too long to read."
~One hour later~
Light blinked, staring at the page in front of him. He was so confused.
"Why are they both named Catherine and which one are they talking about?" he asked himself, turning back to the family tree located at the beginning of the text.
This book was going to take him longer than he thought.
~AN~
Wow it's been a long time. Sorry about that. I hope some of you might still be interested in this story. For that I thank you. Hopefully I will be updating more often now that my Naruto story is finally done! :)
We had to read this last year and I remember one of the things that I did not like was that the whole Catherine thing. Sometimes I did not know which Catherine they were addressing. It seems stupid now but I blame lack of sleep back when we were reading it.
Thanks to anyone still reading. Leave any suggestions for chapters you want to see and I may write them depending on what story and whether I've read it or not.
