Author's Note: Hello people, tis Nix. I'd just like to start this off with Dear god the feels! It's so fluffy and cute. So after three positive votes and zero negative votes I decided to go through with the LightxAlex relationship. Someone mentioned LxSam, I can't answer for Kaira so I have no idea if that'll become real or not. But it would be kinda cute. Anyway enough of my rambling. Enjoy~!

Tenth Chappie!

Alex's POV

I thought I was going to explode. Dear lord they all filed in and there was like one guy not mentally raping me. And of course, I never got a chance to talk to that one guy, fuck my life. Sam and I got separated and I served one guy his drink, I had no idea what his name was but I really couldn't care less. He pulled the tray from my hands and set in on the table before pulling me down next to him. I thought I was going to puke; I just wanted to run away. His arm was wrapped around my waist and his hand on my thigh as he held me rather tightly against him. I just wanted to run and hide, I felt so freaking violated in that one moment. Sam must have noticed my discomfort because she started walking up to this sleazebag.

She stood in front of him with her fists clenched as he looked her over with hungry eyes. Right as she was about to raise her fist Matsuda walked in and saved this bastards life. He stumbled into the room, grinning like a drunkard. He started talking, but I wasn't listening. I was waiting for the perfect moment where I could slip away and run. I felt so dirty, being handled like this. Once Matsuda got to the balcony his grip loosened and I slipped away running to the corner of the room during the commotion.

I knew this was an act, Matsuda wouldn't die from the handstand he was attempting but that meant I had to act. So I would, I was a damn good actress. Matsuda was losing his balance and as soon as he fell I let out a very convincing shriek, running forward I got to the balcony, leaning over I saw him it a mattress before it was quickly pulled in. In Matsuda's place was that Aiber guy, lying on the ground. I made my eyes water and my body shake as I turned back to the Yotsuba men and the other girls. My bottom lip trembled and I stuttered.

"H-h-he's d-d-dead." My voice cracked, I took a moment to observe. Clearly I had everyone but Sam convinced, but she also knew of this plan so basically everyone was convinced by my act. I covered my face with my hands and ran out of the apartment 'sobbing.' I ran to the stairs running down about a floor before I dropped my crying act and became completely serious. I shuddered, hugging myself as I ran into the main room. Light and L were gone and Sam was still up there, probably going to shower off the filth of those bastards. Frankly I have no idea why I ran down here in the first place. I just did.

I went over to the corner of the room and sat on the floor, hugging myself as I closed my eyes. I was never fond of random men touching me in such a flirtatious way, hell I still had a problem with some of my best friend's hands even going near my legs or my waist, never less my boobs. No one noticed my presence considering I was all the way across the room and they were glued to the screen. Clearly I sat there for a while because Light literally came running in, dragging L behind him. His head whipped around and he spotted me. There was something in his eyes, worry and a little bit of jealousy? He ran up to me and dropped to his knees, hugging me tightly. This shocked not only me but everyone else in the room since they didn't even know I was here.

"Alex are you okay?" Light asked, holding me tightly against him as he inspected me the best he could. I blinked hearing the pure worry in his tone, I was still a little shocked but I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly back. I nodded clinging to him. I saw Sam walk in and there was a slightly annoyed, maybe upset look on her face mixed with happiness. Well Sam always has been super protective; she's probably going into momma bear mode over there.

"Yeah I'm okay, I just feel really violated." I muttered clinging to Light, he rest his chin on the top of my head and I felt him frown. He moved his mouth up a little, muttering something not even I could pick up. Why is he acting so protective, he's acting like a protective boyfriend? I thought but I kinda didn't mind it. After a minute or two Light pulled away slightly and looked down at me, his eyes soft.

"Why don't you run up and get into something a little less pink." I nodded smiling softly up at him as he pulled away enough to let me worm out of the corner but I didn't move, biting my bottom lip. "Don't worry, they all left the building." He said and I nodded standing up along with Light. He hugged me one more time before he let go and let me walk off. I turned, smiling at him as I walked toward the stairs. I felt a little less dirty? I don't know how to really explain it but I felt better. I ran up the stairs, fully intending on taking a long shower as I went.

General POV

Light watched the red head run up the stairs to her room, a small smile on her face. He was glad he could make her feel better, but he was still upset. The minute that man grabbed Alex Light grew upset. That feeling of upset quickly became a protective fueled rage that led the normally calm boy to stand up and demand Alex be pulled out immediately. This slightly shocked everyone but L simply looked up at him and refused, giving a lengthy explanation as to why not. That only made Light angrier, he pointed at the screen and actually yelled at L pointing out how uncomfortable Alex looked and how nervous she was. It reached the point where he actually attempted to drag L up there with him and beat the shit out of the man before taking Alex from the room. But Watari and even his father held him back and talked him into sitting down.

Light had watched growing angrier and angrier at the sight on Alex's clear distress. When L dragged him away to play paramedic all he could hope was that Alex would be okay. As soon as they pulled back into the building Light rocketed out of the ambulance and ran into the main room, seeing Alex hiding in the corner he ran to her. He was upset and felt bad that he couldn't help her. A long time ago Light figured out what exactly his feeling for the girl was, he was just nervous to tell her. When this Misa woman came into the picture he feared what would happen to her if he told Misa off and went to Alex.

"You better not hurt my Chibi-chan." Sam growled looking at the auburn that had stood staring at where the red head had disappeared for the last few minutes. He blinked, looking over at Sam. The protectiveness Sam held for the girl scared him at times.

"Why would I hurt Alex?" Light asked, completely honest.

"I don't know you all that well and I don't know your exact relationship with my Chibi-chan so I don't know how you stand when it comes to Chibi-chan but I swear if you hurt her in any way I will skin you alive." Sam threatened and Light gulped slightly.

"I won't." He said glancing back at the stairs before going over and sitting down at the couch with his head in his hands. He felt useless; he knew he was protective of her. It was clear the first time he threatened one of the school guys whom he had overheard planning on trying to date Alex. After listening more it was clear he only wanted to get into her pants and he threatened them to the point where they never even looked at Alex again. He was always protective of her, anytime she felt scared or if she felt uncomfortable he was right there to help anyway he could.

He felt useless because he couldn't protect her when she needed someone the most. So he sat there with his head in his hands as he closed his eyes in thought. The young man's father gazed at him sadly yet proudly. He was proud because he knew the lengths his son took to keep Alex from getting hurt in anyway, but upset because he seemed to angry that he couldn't protect her. Mr. Yagami sighed softly watching his son with soft eyes, he knew how Light felt, he was that way with his wife. He loved Sachiko with all his heart, and he knew Light felt the same for Alex. Mr. Yagami took one last look at his son, before turning to the files at hand, keeping an eye on him.

Alex POV

I walked down the stairs my hair was wet but I had run a brush through it so it was kinda starting to bunch up into curls that didn't look neglected. I wore an overly large black long sleeve shirt that went down to my thighs and the sleeves went way past my hands. The shirt didn't touch my body much at all; in fact it only really touched my shoulder. I also wore baggy black basketball shorts that didn't touch my legs. I felt much better, not showing off anything after showing off so damn much. Light lifted his head from his hands, seeing my smile I could see the relief on his face. Sam was sitting in similar attire, just not a big and baggy, on the other couch. I looked between the two from the stairs for a moment before giving Sam an apologetic smiled and walking up to Light. I sat down next to him and threw my arms around him hugging him tightly.

I still felt violated, you would think that after being handled in an uncomfortable why by a man you would run to your sister and not let any guy touch you, but for some reason I sought Light's comfort. Maybe it was because I knew I could trust him. I don't know, but he wrapped his arms around me and held me close against his chest. I smiled softly, hiding my face in his shoulder as I snuggled into him, frankly I didn't care if it looked like we were dating, and I wanted him to hold me. I felt him tense slightly and sighed softly, Sam must be glaring daggers at him.

I probably looked really tiny against him, but I was naturally built to be small and it didn't help I was trying to make myself smaller. I wanted to hide but I felt safe the way I was right now. He was comforting, holding me close to him without having a hand or his arm somewhere that would be awkward or make me uncomfortable. I bit my bottom lip, it was silent and I wanted to say something but almost didn't because then everyone would probably hear me. Thank god Misa decided to walk in at about that time, well ish.

"Oh my gosh that was amazing! Are you okay Matsuda?!" Misa exclaimed, running up and glomping him. I took that chance while everyone was focused on Misa's blabbering.

"Light I don't want to be alone tonight." I whispered I knew he heard because I felt him shift to look at me.

"Alright." He whispered softly back rubbing my back gently. I knew Sam was glaring daggers at Light; apparently she had moved over and snuggled up against L. She'd been doing that a lot lately. Light didn't mind having me curled up with him; in fact it's happened before. One time, about a year back, I was followed home from work by some crazy guy intent on raping me. I locked myself in my apartment, going to the balcony for a quick escape I called Light. He came over immediately, the guy had picked the lock, I was on the top floor and eight stories is a long way to jump. I was scared half to death; I slammed the sliding door shut and held it as the guy tried forcing it open to get to me. Light ran in and kicked his ass before smashing him in the head with a chair.

The guy was knocked unconscious and tied up, I ran to Light and clung to him in fear. The police came and interviewed me, took me through the entire process and everything. That night I had Light stay with me and ended up curling up against him in the bed. He was so nice about it; he never took advantage of me, just simply held me as I slept. I was happy, I mean looking back it was kinda weird, but then again he was my best friend and my Nee-chan wasn't even close to me. There were a few times after that when I'd crash at his house and have nightmares where he'd hold me until I fell asleep. So really neither of us was bugged by this.

Thinking back, that man was the first jailed criminal to die.

"What are you doing on my Light?!" Misa exclaimed from right behind me. I felt Light stiffen, I knew he hated this girl but what really bugged me was that she was calling him hers. I had no idea why but it just pissed me off greatly. I slowly turned my head, my icy eyes cold and malicious. Misa flinched but continued to glare at me. I opened my mouth to snap at her but Light beat me to it.

"Misa, Alex is scared. She was touched wrongly by one of the men in the room and only wants comfort." Light said his voice was soft and caring. Either Misa is really smart and figured it out and it hiding it or she really did think the caring in his voice was directed at her. I'm going to vote for the latter of the pair. Misa nodded smiling brightly before skipping off.

"Alright! Why don't you come up to my room tonight?" She winked at Light and I growled… Wait I growled? Why the hell am I growling?

"Sorry Misa but I'm going to be up late with the case. I'll probably end up passing out down here." Misa pouted but nodded, stalking over to the elevator. I was still wondering why I growled at her, little did I know that Light was grinning from ear to ear and pretty much throwing a mental party. He heard my growl and he heard the possessiveness behind it, meaning he gained more hope on a relationship with me, thus the mental party that I knew nothing of. After a little while of just sitting there, clinging to Light while he comforted me everyone decided they were going to retire for the night. Light shifted, getting ready to stand. I stood up, Light standing not long after I did.

I latched back onto him, feeling him lead me toward the stairs with L walking next to us. Sam was close by as well, probably thinking he was taking me to our room. Sorry sis. Sam turned, going down the hall toward our room a little ways before turning back around and seeing me walking toward Light and L's room with Light. I heard her growl protectively and stalk up to us. She grabbed Light, spinning him around and grabbing the front of his shirt, pulling him down.

"Where do you think you're going with my Chibi-chan?" She growled.

"Nee-chan it's okay, I asked to stay with them." I murmured my voice quiet. Sam whipped her head around, looking at me with slightly angry eyes. But she also looked kinda hurt; damn I don't want to make her think I'm abandoning her. But I want Light. "I'll be fine Nee-chan, it's just for tonight."

"If you do anything to her, take advantage of her, anything at all I will fucking kill you." She growled before shoving Light back and stalking off to our room. I frowned slightly; I'll make it up to her in the morning. Light came up, wrapping his arms around me once more as he led me to L and his place. Their room was fairly typical, there were two beds, one perfectly made and the other covered with laptops and files. Guess whose is whose. Light sat me down on the perfectly made bed, going to the bathroom and changing quickly into a T-shirt and pajama pants. He crawled into the bed and I crawled in beside him. I didn't care how this situation looked, I was still scared. After that man attacked me all those months ago I had been deathly afraid of things like this.

I curled into Light's chest, smiling softly when he wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. I cherished his comfort, snuggling into him as L turned off the main light, leaving only the light from his laptops illuminating the room. I closed my eyes, hiding my face in Light's shoulder as I yawned softly.

"Try to go to sleep okay." Light whispered.

"Be here, when I wake up?" I asked in a small voice.

"I'll be here, good night Alexandra."

"Good night Light." I giggled softly before closing my eyes and slipping into sleep in the comfort of his hold.

Light's POV

She fell asleep in my arms, her breathing was deep and gentle as I held her. Sam had been glaring at me all night, and was probably very upset with this, but I didn't care. Alex was where she should be, safe and in my arms. At least that's what I thought. I know it's selfish but I love her, I can't help it I've loved her for nearly a year and a half now. Well at least that's how long I've known I've loved her. I held her tightly against me, pressing her to my chest as I buried my face in her hair. I mentally chuckled, her hair smelled like raspberries, her favorite fruit. She felt nice curled up against me, I was actually really happy when she chose to take my comfort over her sisters.

"Do you have feelings for this girl Light-kun?" L asked, turning to me and looking at me with those wide eyes.

"Why do you ask?" I whispered.

"Because you just murmured 'I love you Alex' into her hair." He stated calmly. "So I ask again, does Light-kun have feelings for Alex?" I blushed slightly. I hadn't realized I'd done that.

"Yeah I do." I whispered.

"Does Miss Alex know Light-kun has feelings for her?" I shook my head.

"No." L hummed going back to his work, clearly done talking to me. I sighed softly, once against burying my face in her hair as I slowly drifted into sleep.
