The man was on his boat, and was fishing near the shore, when he saw the waves throw out a body to the surface. After noticing that the body was not moving, he sailed out of the water, and ran to help.

'Where you come from? I didn't see anyone swim near me...'

He quickly ran to the naked, motionless body of a young man he didn't know or see in the village.

'What happened to him..?' Many questions swarmed through the fisherman's thoughts.

Man immediately started implementing CPR to get him back.

It didn't take long, and the young man opened his eyes, in the worst possible moment when he had man's lips on his own. He pushed him away and started spitting water. It took him a moment to catch his breath.

"A-are you o-okay?" Asked fisherman, worried.

Brown haired man glared at him. "What the hell were you doing?"

"W-what?" Asked black-haired man puzzled. He really didn't know what was young man talking about.

"You were kissing me on my mouth!"

"Huh?" Still dumbfounded, man looked at him. Then realization hit him.

"Oh... NO! NO, no, no! Wait - It wasn't like that..." he began to justify his actions, with red face from the shame. "I was just trying to get you back. You were unconscious.. and... and - the water threw you ashore, for God's sake!"

Light huffed, and had his arms crossed as he glared at him.

After all, the man was right, and Light knew that he also saved one human once, his 'oh so beloved girl,' so he should know better.

He realized his mistake.

"It... it may be... I was just confused when I opened my eyes and had your mouths on mine. I'm sorry." He lowered his arms to his sides and looked away, to the distance.

All in all it was not an easy day for him.

"Nah, It's okay... it happens." Man answered, still blushing, nervous. "By the way I think you need your clothes. Do you remember where you left them?"

Light just blinked, 'Left my clothes..?' then he remembered. 'Crap! I don't have any clothes!' He knew that he must not admit just like that, that he didn't have any clothes, because he would cause suspicion, so he said, "no I don't have any clothes... I'm not from here."

He began to feel ashamed because he was naked, and tried instinctively to hide his crotch with his hands as he continued to explain, "we were just crossing the ocean when the storm started, and overturned our ship. I was fortunate, that I was near lifeboat. I managed to climb in it, but I didn't find anyone who was with me on the crew after that. So I sailed alone, for two days I think, looking for a land."

"Oh... I'm sorry." Said fisherman avoiding to stare at naked and gorgeous man before him. He just shifted uncomfortably.

Light struggled to look sad and miserable. He then lovered his gaze down at the sand and his legs.

Legs!?

'LEGS!'

Of course.

'I finally have my legs. Yesss!'

He had to do his best to hide his excitement from that new realization. He tried to move them a little and was surprised how he felt them so natural.

After a brief awkward silence, the man spoke, Light almost forgot about him: "I am Touta Matsuda, by the way, I'm a fisherman." He held out his hand, and Light backed away, staring quietly. Not knowing what to do, he said: "I am Light, nice to meet you...?"

'From all the people in this world, I meet a fisherman..? Just great.'

The black-haired man became confused and pulled his hand back. "I'm going to get you some clothes. You can't go through the village like this... wait for me here. I'll be back in a minute."

"O-okay."

Light felt relief when the man walked away. It was his first encounter with a human in general, so he was nervous, because he didn't know how to act and what to say.

He knew one thing for sure, he had to be careful.

He pulled his legs to him and embraced them, thoughtful. He was feeling weird a little, a bit even nostalgic. A completely different world opened up in front of him, and he felt somehow - scared.

It was much easier to imagine everything, while he was still underwater.

He was most of the time bored, and wanted to experience some new adventures on the other side.

Now that he already had his long-longed legs, he felt lost, scared and lonely.

He sat and waited.

The feeling of sitting on the sand was cozy and strange, but his body was slowly adapting to those new sensations. From now on, he will not have to depend on the water.

Light stared at his feet again and began to move his toes on his feet. He was thrilled.

'So this is how it feels like..?'

Then he noticed something between his legs. He was a little confused, because he didn't know what he is looking at. Then, he touched that 'thing,' and as if in that exact moment, his nerve endings connected to his brain, he realized what is 'it.'

'So this is... well... oh.'

He didn't know what people called it, so he decided not to think about it, for now.

As he focused on the area, Light felt something wet between his legs. "What the-" when he bent down further, he noticed something sticky and white. Then realization hit him, and he gasped. He set out to wipe it, but changed his mind.

"Lawliet's cum..." he whispered softly. Then his thoughts came back to that certain event that happened just a few minutes or hours ago. Although he tried not to think about it, he couldn't block his memories.

He was not disgusted with it, as he would have expected, but in some ways it aroused him, and at the same time it had caused anxiety in him.

And want...

...for more.

NO.

"No."

Then he started to scream, "No!"

"No, no, no, no!"

"I hate you!"

He began to wipe the cum from his skin and then noticed that a few more drops were oozing from his opening.

"Dammit, fuck!"

"Go away! Just go awayyy!" He continued to yell, frustrated and annoyed.

As he was occupied with cleaning, he heard a voice from the water: "Light..! Hey Light!"

"Ryuk? Is that you Ryuk?"

"Yes, come over here! You need to come closer..."

Light tried to rise to his feet, but to no avail. He ended up with his face buried in the sand.

'Wtf?'

'Why my legs don't work?'

Then he started to rise again and fell one more time. This time on the butt.

"Auch!"

It was painful.

Third time he tried.

And he fell again.

"No chance..."

"Are you OK, Light?"

"Yes, just... I can't control my legs."

"That was to be expected."

"Yes... but that will not gonna help me either."

"Well, you wanted to become a human, I am a fish, remember? I don't know anything about walking."

"Yeah... yeah..." Light rolled his eyes.

"Try to crawl here."

"To what?"

"Use your arms too, and come here. We don't have all day."

"Ungh. It's easy for you to say..."

"Deal with it."

Light shot him with angry look.

He slowly entered the water on all fours, enough to get close to his friend.

"Finally."

"Shut up."

"So, how is it?"

"Good for now, as you can see." Said Light ironically, but he was glad that Ryuk came.

"Well it will be hard until you get used to it."

"Yeah."

"Otherwise, are you good?"

"Yes, I am fine."

"You shouldn't have agreed to that, Li-"

Light quickly interrupted him: "Ryuk, It's over. Don't remind me of it."

"..."

"I will need a favor."

"I thought so."

"Bring me tomorrow some of that gold, I'll need it here."

"All right."

"I'll wait for you tomorrow morning in this same place."

"OK. Anything else?"

"No... but I have to go, now. A fisherman, who has gone to bring me some clothes, will soon be back."

"A fisherman, eh?"

"Well, yeah..."

"You betrayed me, Light." Ryuk said teasingly.

"You know it's not like that..."

"I know, I'm just kidding."

Light just frowned, then he added with a small smile: "I need to go. Thank you, Ryuk."

"Hold on, kid."

"You too."

Ryuk swam away, and Light slowly made his way back to shore. Halfway through he remembered that he need to wash himself, so he quickly rubbed that area, and headed for the shore.

When he could feel only the sand on his palms, knees and feet again, he looked around, and in the distance he spotted the fisherman approaching him.

He sat back in the sand and waited.

"Here I am... I brought you a shirt and pants. I hope it will suit you well. We are similar build, so I don't think there will be a problem," the man gasped for air while he explained to Light.

"Thanks," Light replied, looking at the clothes the man had brought him, but not bothering to take them.

It passed a couple of seconds in uncomfortable silence...

...and nothing.

"Erm, well..." the man began to feel uncomfortable and scratched his head, because Light had not yet taken over the garments, only watched him silently.

"Yes...?"

"Will you wear it or not?"

'Wear it?'

Right.

'I need to put it on myself. Somehow.'

"..."

'Damnit... what should I do?'

Light took the clothes in his hands, and began to clumsily twist them, pull on them, and observe them.

"Of course." He had no idea how he should put it on himself, still. 'Well, if this is not suspicious enough to him, then nothing will be. But I really don't know how to put this on myself.'

Matsuda watched him with wide eyes, and disbelief. It seemed as if the man didn't know how to dress himself. To avoid even more discomfort because he was really uncomfortable looking at him naked, he offered to help.

"Need some help?"

Light was already frustrated, and ashamed to ask for help, but he gladly accepted: "yes, please, looks that I forget how to do it for some reason..."

"Yeah, no problem."

The fisherman put the shirt on him first, because it seemed the easiest thing to do. Then, he started to put on the briefs. He was red in the face, and tried his best to avoid looking at the young man's crotch as he dressed him.

Few times he asked himself, what he had taken himself into.

Dressing the man was a difficult task, especially because he was in a sitting position, and for some reason avoided getting up. When Matsuda tried to dress him into pants, he spoke: "could you please stand up? That would make it easier for me to dress you..."

"I will try..." Light answered and began to rise.

"Can you hold me? I think I will-" Light didn't manage to finish his sentence, but quickly found himself on the ground.

"Oh... sorry," Matsuda said as he helped him get up.

"My mistake, I should've told you sooner."

"You can't stand?"

"Only for now, I hope so..."

The man somehow managed to dress him in the pants.

"Done," Matsuda declared, and was feeling like he was dressing a big kid, tired and panting.

"Thank you, again." Light struggled to stay on his feet. He grabbed the man's arm when he lost his balance again. Matsuda blushed even more.

Light has no clue what he was doing to the man.

"I just need to walk a little. It'll be okay after a few steps, I think..." Light added as he leaned into the man.

"R-right," Matsuda stuttered, hold him, and observed him closely. He noticed that Light was unusually beautiful. Since he had not been in a relationship for a while, and so close to someone, Matsuda felt very attracted to the young man. He began to get excited as he was holding him around the waist. And young man smelled intoxicating.

The man led him as Light gave his first steps. He was enthusiastic to be walking, and didn't even notice the little signals fisherman was sending, because he was preoccupied with his every step. He laughed and was enjoying himself.

Matsuda was smiling too, then leaned even closer, cupped his face, and pressed their lips together.

Light was shocked. His eyes were wide, and he quickly returned to reality.

He certainly didn't expect anything like that from the other man.

He was confused, and his mind had finally sent a signal that he needed to push the man away. When he did that, they both lost their balance and fell on their back, each on their own side.

"What the fuck?!"

"..."

Matsuda just groaned in pain.

"W-what were you doing!?"

"I.. I... I am sorry. I took carried away... I'm sorry," he finally managed to answer.

Light watched him quietly. 'What was this man trying to do..? I can't trust him anymore...' he shuddered, then he remembered Lawliet again, and his request for a favor. "Are all men the same, everyone thinks only about one thing..?"

Matsuda started to get up and said again, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." He reached out to help him get up again.

Light hesitated, but took his hand. "No more kissing and similar - stuff..."

"O-of course, s-sorry."

After a brief pause, Matsuda asked: "I suppose you have nowhere to go, when you're not from here, or you have someone you know?"

"No, I don't know anyone, but I saw once, when I was here, a beautiful girl I would like to meet."

"Oh..." Matsuda was visibly disappointed.

"But I don't think I'll see her today, It's already late, but I'll definitely have to look for her tomorrow."

"Of course. If you want, you can stay at my place until you manage somehow, and find a way to go home."

Light wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but he didn't have other options anyway.

"Okay, but just tonight."

"Fine. Are you hungry? I can prepare some fish if you like?"

"Fish? No... no... I don't like fish. I would love to eat something that wasn't alive before."

"So you're vegetarian?"

"Huh?"

"Nothing... it's okay."
