Startle, Part I
Disclaimer: Death Note does not belong to me. If it did, then the world would have been a better place. Mwahahahaahaha!
Author Notes: This idea came from another idea which is in the story "Snowballs" that you'll also find here on FFnet... or maybe that story came from this one. They were kinda simultaneously created actually. But I digress. The fact remains that both are just variations on the same idea originallybut do not have anything to do with each other continuity-wise. They also both have a second part that I will post soon.
Light had thought that their time was important but evidently keeping her happy was more important.
How could everyone fold like a house of cards at the slightest sullen pout from his girlfriend?Truely there was noreason why Light was sitting on that couch being bored and being watched by Ryuuzaki who was sitting next to him as they sat across from Misa on yet another one of their 'dates'.
"And so Hikari said, 'She's such a nice girl'. But of course she didn't mean that. She used that irritating tone of hers," Misa continued to chronicle the activities of the faceless people she came into contact with at her work that neither he nor Ryuuzaki even knew. Many guys would kill to be the boyfriend of the model/actress, Misa "Misa-Misa" Amano. But Light knew he wasn't one of them.
Light could acknowledge she was beautiful. Combining the right amount of childish cuteness with the sensuality of a blossoming woman, a boy his age should be as into her as much as she was into him. Then again, most boys Light's age weren't chained to another boy who was convinced Light was a serial killer.
Speaking about the world famous boy-detective, Light glanced over to the wide dark-eyed, scruffy boy. Light knew it was about time that Ryuuzaki would pause between bites of the dessert of the moment and blurt out some pointed socially-awkward question that would set Misa onto full rant. But Light wasn't expecting to see Ryuuzaki's features to be relaxed and his eyes peacefully shut.
Ryuuzaki was asleep.
For a normal person nodding off during a lackluster conversation was only a slight social faux pa. But for Ryuuzaki to doze off and Light catch him, it was a momentous occasion. In the couple of weeks he had been chained to the eccentric detective, Light had never seen him sleep, which was incredible since they were together twenty-four hours a day. At night, Ryuuzaki would just perch on his side of the bed while staring at a laptop. Light had tried a couple of times to outlast Ryuuzaki but had always drifted off. The next morning Light would find Ryuuzaki still typing or staring directly at him.
To see, Ryuuzaki asleep was like seeing the universe up-side down.
Light wasn't the only one who noticed Ryuuzaki's unusual state. Misa had gone gleefully silent as she walked around the coffee table.
"Misa, wha-" Light started as Misa climbed onto his lap.
"Shh. Misa-Misa doesn't want to wake him up," She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her lips against his.
Light tried his best to crane his neck to continue to observe the odd sight but Misa wasn't wasting a second. Her arms were wound tightly around Light's neck, doing her best to have him focus on the tongue being slipped between his lips.
Light debated the options of resisting and risking waking up Ryuuzaki. Plus for all her annoying traits, Misa was a good kisser and blissfully silent. When she finally wound a trail of kisses down his jaw-line to his neck, Light was able turn and face Ryuuzaki.
Only to find Ryuuzaki, eyes sunken and wide, was only a couple of inches from his face and a curiously intense smile was on his lips.
I created this fic from a review that reminded me that I still had these suckers in the Vault. More reveiws might speed up my memory that I have the second part already done. (Hint. Hint.)
