"Well, this is exciting! I've never been on a plane before!" Said Christian as he sat in the seat next to Sato. "Hey," Light interrupted Christian as he pointed out a fact Christian had not noticed, "That's my seat."
"Not anymore." Said Dachi as he smirked at Light and pushed him forward, "Move it." He demanded as Light stumbled forward, away from Christian and Sato.
"Light..." Sato whispered as he watched the three men travel towards the back of the plane. Christian analyzed Sato's expression and asked, "I'm sorry...Is he your boyfriend?"
Sato glanced over at Christian and gave him a small smile, "Yeah…he is." Sato said.
Christian's eyes widened, "Oh my God! I'm so sorry, hun! If I'd known I would have moved when he had told me it was his seat! I feel so bad now!" Christian started to ramble on and apologize to Sato. Sato chuckled softly, "Christian,"
"I don't want to separate you from your boyfriend! What kind of person does that make me?!" Christian continued. "Christian," Sato said a little louder and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. This made Christian jump and look over at Sato, "Yes?" He asked.
"Its okay; its just one flight. I'm sure we can be apart for that long. He's only a couple of rows behind us, and then Matsuda and Dachi are a few rows behind him. We'll be back together when we land so there is nothing to freak out about." Sato said, trying to calm the man that was worrying so greatly about the subject.
"Are you sure? I could go back there and find him and trade him seats…I don't want to be a bother or anything, hun." He said, looking at Sato with his wide-crystal blue eyes.
Sato smiled softly towards Christian and asked, "How come you say 'hun' so much?"
Christian was taken back at the sudden change in topic, but smiled at Sato's question. "Well, I've found out that men respond well to that nickname." Christian's eyes closed as he giggled softly. Sato smirked at the boy's response as Christian continued, "My clients always found themselves to be more masculine when I said little things like that."
Christian quickly leaned towards Sato and asked, "So? What about you and Light? Do you two have a set dominance or does the mood decide whose on top?" Sato leaned back against the window in shock and question, "Huh?!"
"Well...One tends to act more feminine then the other. But between you and Light...I can't really seem to tell. You both look like you'd take dominance, but there's always got to be a receiver." Said Christian as he raised his index finger in front of Sato's face, making his point rather clearly and loudly.
Sato's face flushed, "Don't be so loud," he said as he straightened himself up. "Why? I'm not even being that loud…" Christian said, "And you still haven't answered my question. Do you still need clarification?" He questioned in almost disbelief.
Christian opened his mouth to put what he was asking in another blunt sentence, but Sato interrupted him, "Ah, no I know what you are talking about Christian; no need for anymore clarification." Sato spoke, his face still red. Christian smiled, "Good, I really hoped you weren't that naïve." He said.
Sato took small offense in that statement, "That naïve? I am not naïve," He said to the smiling man. Christian giggled, "Fine then, just shy. I say that because when I asked you a simple question you blush and still, did not answer." He said with a large smile. Christian didn't think it was awkward to talk about sex or anything relating to the topic in public; he figured there was nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, they were on a plane, he wanted something interesting to talk about and its not like he was disturbing the people around him.
"Well," Christian pressed as Sato straightened himself up in his seat.
"Well, Light and I...We've only...Umm." Sato stuttered, trying to get the words out as Christian's smile faded and realized what was going on. "Oh! I'm sorry! I thought you two have already had sex." Christian apologized as Sato covered Christian's mouth quickly and whispered, "Shh, you mention the word sex around me and Dachi hears he's likely to rush over here and see what's going on."
Sato pulled his hand away from Christian as the boy smirked and replied, "Oh, he doesn't have to worry about me. I know when to make a move and when to keep my hands to myself. Just ask him."
"Huh?" Sato was confused as Christian continued for him. "Dachi was my client when he came to the brothel. Very sweet man and he quickly stopped me, saying he had a son my age." Christian giggled as he replied, "His wife is lucky to have such a kind man with such a skilled mouth." Christian teased, knowing he'd get a rise out of Sato.
"Oh God, please don't say that." Said Sato as he looked away in disgust. Christian giggled again and replied, "Well, you know, you got here somehow." Sato turned his head back towards Christian and replied, "Dachi isn't my real father. He adopted me and the day I see him with a woman is the day I no longer have to be paranoid over his watch."
Christian took in the information with a shocked look on his face. "Oh...I had no idea."
"Yeah, but he's still a hard ass. Every time I try to get close to Light he threatens to kill him." Said Sato as he let out a small sigh as Christian smiled at Sato's soft expression.
"You love, Light...Don't you?" Asked Christian as Sato nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I do. Every time I'm with him I just have this feeling. This need to touch him." Christian listened intently as Sato continued, "Every time we're alone I hope that Dachi won't show up just so I'll be able to get closer to Light."
"Closer as in?...Sexually?" Asked Christian as Sato blushed and replied, "I'd be lying if I said that wasn't on my mind."
Christian smiled softly at Sato and replied, "You poor thing." Sato had a confused look on his face as Christian continued, "You got lust mixed up with love. Perhaps you just need to release some sexual tension."
"What?" Asked Sato as Christian giggled and replied, "Just kind of...Let it out. You know? A one night thing."
Sato was shocked as he replied, "I don't think a one night stand is my ideal perception of me los-" Sato stopped at he was saying, not wanting to demean his own masculine appearance to anyone, but Christian already knew what he was going to say.
Christian smiled in shock as he leaned forward and poked Sato in the cheek playfully, "Oh my God! How cute! You're still a virgin!"
Sato's face turned bright red. Did Christian really just announce that he was a virgin to the whole plane? He couldn't believe it; he had an urge to sink low in his seat and hide his face for the rest of the trip. He knew that it would do nothing and so instead he gazed over at Christian and tried to glare at him, but it wasn't working that well because he was more embarrassed than anything else, "Yeah…so…" Sato spoke; he couldn't think of anything else to say in the situation.
"Aw! You're adorable! I didn't mean to embarrass you! I was just saying that I thought it was cute that you haven't done anything like that yet." Christian said with a smile and a giggle.
Sato's embarrassment died down a little as he put on a small pout, "I am not adorable…" He said. The word offended his masculinity and he couldn't help but become a little defensive.
"You're such a sweetheart!" Said Christian as he hugged Sato tightly. "If only there were more men out there in the world like you!" Christian said in a loving manner as he let go of Sato and smiled up at him. Sato no longer felt embarrassed, but more surprised that Christian found Sato's situation more admiring then anything else.
"And I'm sorry to have offended you. I won't call you adorable." Said Christian as he smirked and raised his index finger once again to make hand motions with his words. "I'll call you handsome."
Sato smiled at Christian's words, the man had no borderline when he was suppose to stop talking. "Do you always talk this much?" Asked Sato as Christian pouted and the replied, "Hey, be nice to me mister or I can go and tell Dachi of your little intentions with Light."
Sato looked at Christian in shock as the blonde smirked at what he had said. "Are you blackmailing me?" Asked Sato as Christian giggled and replied, "All I'm saying is that you have to be nice to me."
***
Dachi chuckled softly in his seat next to Matsuda. He could hear certain things that Christian had said that made him sigh in utter relief. Much to his delight he was able to separate his son, whom he was elated to find out was still a virgin, and the man he still did not trust fully. Matsuda giggled softly next to him and the voice of the chatty blonde seemed to go out of range.
"Christian sure is a remarkable kid." Matsuda said with a smile as he looked over at Dachi. Dachi nodded his head and chuckled once more, "He's a good kid; I'm glad he was so excited to sit next to Sato. It's easier to get Light away from him."
Matsuda just shook his head softly. He knew that there was no way Dachi was ever going to accept that Sato was with Light. Though he didn't protest to the two of them directly, he had decided to try and place Christian in-between them. As Matsuda thought of this he wondered if he knew what might occur between Christian and Sato…
Matsuda pushed the thoughts of the three out of his head and started to think of Mikami and the power he possessed over them right now. Matsuda looked down at the floor of the airplane in silence. His fears started to surface once more. What if he was killed anyway? What if Mikami didn't keep his word? What would happen? Matsuda's heart started to race as tears started to prick his eyes. He closed them in a vain attempt to keep the small drops from sliding down his face, he was sick of crying.
Dachi's amusement died down a bit and he turned to look at Matsuda, who had become increasingly quiet over the last few moments. Dachi heard him sniffle slightly and instantly became worried. He placed a gentle hand on Matsuda's chin and lifted it to face him softly. Matsuda did not jerk from his grasp but he kept his eyes closed. Dachi took his other hand and wiped the tears staining Matsuda's cheeks off with his thumb.
"Matsuda…" Dachi said softly as he looked at the man in concern. Dachi placed a gentle kiss on Matsuda's forehead before resting his against the man's, "Don't cry. What's with the tears?" He asked softly. Matsuda opened his slightly red eyes and looked at Dachi, "I…Dachi…" He said softly, "I'm scared," he whispered to the man before he closed his eyes once more, letting the tears continue to glide down his face. Matsuda felt weak; he felt like he shouldn't be scared, but fear gripped at his heart and refused to release it.
Dachi's face softened into a sad emotion as he slowly let go of Matsuda and looked around for a moment. Making sure no one was focusing on them. Dachi leaned forward and grabbed the briefcase that was between his feet. As Dachi brought it up to his lap and began to undo the combination on the case's lock, Matsuda looked around in worry. "What're you doing?" Asked Matsuda as Dachi pulled out the Death Note and opened it to the first page.
Matsuda watched Dachi in fear as he pulled a pen out of his pocket and clicked it open so he could write with it. As Dachi's hand rested the pen tip against the Death Note, Matsuda quickly stopped him by putting his hand on Dachi's.
"Dai, what're you doing?" Asked Matsuda as Dachi pushed Matsuda's hand away and looked back at the Death Note. "I'm ending this, once as for all." Said Dachi as he began to write on the Death Note.
"No!" Whispered Matsuda as he pulled Dachi's hand away from the book, revealing an "A" on the page. "You can't do this." Said Matsuda as Dachi narrowed his eyes towards Matsuda and leaned toward the younger man. "Do you want to die?! Mikami has the ability to kill you any minute! He killed all of the other agents and is now threatening to kill the others! He's the new Kira! We know for sure now! Don't tell me he doesn't deserve it!" Dachi said with anger, but mostly fear in his eyes. Dachi was terrified of the possibility of losing Matsuda.
Matsuda's tears increased as he flinched from the harsh tone in Dachi's voice. He knew that Dachi was scared too, and him voicing his fears only made Dachi's fear increase. Matsuda knew that he shouldn't have said anything. He shouldn't have voiced how scared he truly was; how he wished he could be stronger than he was. Matsuda tried to calm himself down some and breathed deeply.
"Yes Dai…" He spoke softly, trying his hardest not to choke on his tears, "I do think he deserves it…all he has done is cause harm-,"
"Then why won't you just let me write his name?" Dachi asked in a frustrated manner, not understanding.
"Dai, what will happen if you write his name? What if he has some sort of backup? What if it doesn't turn out like you had planned? What if he has his Death Note in front of him at this very moment…it takes less than forty seconds to write a name down…" Matsuda said softly as he removed the pen from Dachi's hand and placed his own hand in it, lacing his fingers with the man, trying to calm Dachi's anger along with both of their fears.
"I can make him commit suicide. He won't even think about writing down another name." Said Dachi as Matsuda kissed Dachi's hand softly and replied, "Dachi...If you use the Death Note...It makes you no better then Mikami."
Dachi tightened his grip on Matsuda, the thought of him being compared to Mikami made his anger boil. "He deserves death. Why let him take more lives? This is the right thing, Matsuda. This is the break we've been waiting for. Mikami deserves to die and now we can make that happen." Said Dachi as Matsuda's eyes saddened and whispered, "Oh, Dai...Listen to yourself. Do you know who you sound like?"
Dachi was silent, thinking on what he had just said and what Matsuda was trying to say to him. Dachi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you saying I'm just like Light?"
Matsuda shook his head and caressed Dachi's cheek. "No, I'm just saying...The things you're saying. Your thought process...Your solution to this problem is how Light would solve it." Dachi's eyes softened as he whispered, "I knew there was a reason Near became L's successor instead of me. L told me because my morals weren't as firm as they should have been...I guess that's true even now."
"Dai…" Matsuda whispered as his tears slowed to an almost complete stop. He blinked away the last of them and rubbed the back of Dachi's palm with one hand, the other rested on the stunning man's face. "your morals are put in place correctly. Your family and the people you care about come first." Matsuda said delicately, "You would do anything for your loved ones so that they are not hurt in any way. Dachi, just don't resort in taking lives…even if they deserve it…there is always a better way…"
Dachi looked down. He felt ashamed of himself. Was he really going to let himself stoop down to the level of Kira? He still wished he could…he wanted to make sure Matsuda would not be harmed…but Matsuda kept him from doing that. Matsuda kept him from killing the man that might kill him. Dachi decided that he would not do it…just to respect Matsuda's wishes. He sighed softly and nodded his head toward Matsuda.
Dachi closed the suitcase with the hand that was not entangled with Matsuda's and locked the lock, making sure it would not open. He placed the suitcase back where it was safely underneath him. The pen remained in Matsuda's back pocket, where he had placed it after taking it from Dachi. Once Dachi was finished Matsuda leaned forward and buried his head in his chest. Matsuda let go of Dachi's hand and chest and wrapped his hands around Dachi's shoulders. Dachi closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Matsuda's upper back and pressed him close.
"All right, Matsu. I wont kill him...Or Light." Said Dachi in a low whisper, his eyes now looking out the window to catch sight of Zellogi following them with ease. Dachi was silent for a moment, thinking back on all of the rules of the Death Note and the new found equipment; the eraser.
"I'll find another way to bring them down, but please...Don't hate me for my actions. I'm doing this to protect all of you." Said Dachi as Matsuda slowly pulled away from Dachi in question, "What're you talking about, Dai?" Asked Matsuda as Dachi looked away from him and faced the seat in front of him. "There may be a way around this. I'll be able to protect you and Sato and in the end, capture Mikami and if needed, Light." Whispered Dachi as he glanced back down at the briefcase. He would have to read the rules closely and speak to the shinigami before continuing with his dangerous plan.
"How?" Asked Matsuda as Dachi remained silent. He couldn't tell Matsuda, not even Sato. This was something he would have to do on his own.
