Chapter three:
Light's P.O.V.
It's almost time to go meet that beauty I saw, as well as kind of met, yesterday! I'm so excited!
"Light." My brother's voice comes from the door way to my bedroom.
I turn and face him. Truth is, I don't really like him all that much which is why I refused to room with him but he rooms with his girlfriend anyways while I roomed alone. "What do you want Kira?"
Some room together for one reason or another and others like to room alone but we have space so it's ok.
He leans on my oak wood door frame. "Just wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the Feather freedoms territory tomorrow."
"Um sure?" I guess it could be another chance to see L again but I need to make sure Kira doesn't try to cause trouble over there.
"Great!" He then leaves in a flash.
I hope he's not planning something stupid.
L's P.O.V.
I walk towards the border slowly.
The sun is setting and I told Jack I was just going for a walk when he asked.
I look to the border and on the Barens side I see the man from before, sitting on the ground and leaning back on a tree. He looks so relaxed.
Cautiously I creep forward towards the border.
He checks his watch then looks over at me. He smiles warmly. "Hello my beauty."
"You never gave me your name." I accuse.
"Pardon my rudeness." He gets up and comes right over to me. "Names Ratio Yagami but you can call me Light." He strokes my hair.
"Okay Light." I lean into his touch subconsciously.
He wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me close to his body. "You're gorgeous my lovely. May I have this kiss?" He brushes his fingers on my lips.
I gasp softly and can only manage a nod. I am not sure what is going on with me as I am allowing him to be so close to me. I just can't push him away or say no as everything about me screams yes to his advances.
What is happening to me!
Is it really love?
It's a seventy percent chance it is love.
He leans in and passionately kisses me. His lips are really soft and sweet.
I moan into the kiss and we break apart.
I lick my lips and he smiles.
"I love you L. Though we just met I love you." Light nuzzles my hair.
"I love you too." I wrap my arms around his neck as the words come out before I can process them and my body feels like it's been taken over by this feeling deep down inside.
We rub our noses together with a small grin on our faces.
"What's with the feathers?" Light gently plays, mostly just gently and carefully holds to keep them from getting damaged, with my partner's in flights feathers in my hair.
"They are our treasure. All of us have them. Their not only our first kill but our partners in flight to ensure we have wings in the afterlife. So we won't be stuck on the ground like everyone else who doesn't have partners in flight. There's a whole ceremony for it on each child's fifth birthday. We have two going out to get their partners in flight tomorrow. The kills must be respectful and we wear the feathers with pride. If we die without them then we will be stuck on the ground so we protect them with our lives. They also help us do more than other humans while we are alive but there is of course limits to that." I have no idea why I told him all that. What the hell am I doing! Oh wait we love each other… Right? It's my first time to love someone like this. I raise a hand wanting to get his hand off of my partners in flight feathers but I think Light got my message without having to take his hand away from my partners in flight feathers.
"Wow. That's amazing." He looks fascinated at my partner in flights feathers and let's go of them. He had made sure to not bring any harm to them in anyway when he touched them as he gently as well carefully held them. "I promise you can trust me with that information and anything else. I'll come and see if I can watch the ceremony."
"You'll have to be very careful, you know how the others are really protective of the territory." I warn him.
"Don't worry. I promise I won't get caught and plus I'll stay hidden see if I can find the one or ones getting their partners in flight and watch. Then I'll leave. I promise it'll just be the ceremony thing if I can find it and see it then I'm off so I won't get caught." He smiles.
I nod and lean onto his body.
He hugs me close and buries his face in my hair; my head is on his chest.
A twig snapping catches my attention and also gets Light's attention. It's on the Barens side of the border.
"Go. I'll make sure they won't find you or harm you." Light whispers in my ear.
I turn and hide in the bushes nearby to watch.
Light's P.O.V.
I quickly head back to the border and make it just as Kira steps into view.
"Hi brother." I act casual. "You felt like a night stroll too?"
He looks into the Feather freedoms territory. "No I was hoping to see if I could ruff up a stinking Feather freedom."
"No!" I quickly tell him. "Don't cause trouble with them. We should meet them and get to know them." I try to get him out of it.
He looks me in the eye. "Light why are you so nice to them? I swear you are becoming insane." He sighs and puts a hand to his forehead to elaborate his annoyance.
"You are the insane one." I roll my eyes.
He suddenly pushes past me and goes right onto the Feather freedoms territory. He is going in exactly the direction L went!
"Wait!" I start to rush towards him to stop him.
He stops at the bush L disappeared into and looks into the territory with a small glance to the bush like he is just acknowledging it's there before moving on with his looking. "Hmmmmm…. You know brother now that I think about it." He turns and looks at me with a strange kind expression. "I would like to learn about them. Especially about the feathers in their hair."
I blink but he looks genuine enough…. Though I'll watch out for any tricks. Maybe I can get him to like the Feather freedoms. "Come with me and let's talk about how we will go about this. You'll see that they are more than likely not these bad people we hear stories of."
He comes back over to me and follows me back into our territory.
I feel proud that I protected L.
