IV
{Three weeks have passed since chapter 3}
Fingers crossed, eyes shut tightly, Light Yagami was visibly nervous as he stood atop the device's cool and stainless surface, his nude figure almost shaking despite the mild temperature within the room. It was anxiety that was getting to him, the anxiety that he hadn't made any progress, that he was still the filthy pig he had been weeks earlier, his body heavy with the unwanted weight that had been the trigger for so much cruelty.
It was time, do or die, and thus, much in the fashion of ripping off a band-aid, the anxious teen opened his eyes widely, quickly fixating them on the digital numbers that were displayed just above the reach of his toes. "134." He read the numbers silently, feeling a slight smile begin to pull at the corners of his lips. But before he could get too excited, he silenced himself, focusing on the larger picture and how all was still yet to be restored back to perfection.
"Remember that you used to be 130 lbs, so this is no time to celebrate. If you keep thinking like this you'll turn into a blimp all over again... becoming completely worthless again. Seriously, I suggest you start on some sit-ups soon because your stomach is looking awfully flabby." the thoughts poured in rampantly, unstoppable by any means. The only way to avoid them was to become distracted and thankfully Ryuzaki interrupted from outside the room at just the right time. Although, Light was now about to be busted considering that the detective had declared loudly "I don't hear any peeing!"
Quickly Light rushed to the toilet paper roll, frantically pulling out numerous squares of the paper, tearing them off and then dipping the long strand into the toilet, waiting for it to become fully saturated with water before lifting it out again, then letting the excess water loudly seep out, accurately simulating the sound of urination. He then flushed down the wads of paper, speedily stowing the scale and flipping on the faucet so that he could dress as the water ran, Ryuzaki had known that he was a very meticulous hand washer. However, once the brunette teen was fully dressed he flipped off the faucet, quickly unlocking the door and joining Ryuzaki, a faint flush coloring his cheeks.
The detective narrowed his eyes at the boy, noticing his complexion's now slight reddish coloring and his erratic breath, deciding that he would confront him just to see what silly excuse he'd come up with now. "Had fun in there?" he inquired skeptically, making a point to obviously be looking the boy up and down, proving that he was aware that he hadn't been peeing.
However, instead of trying to come up with some lame excuse that Ryuzaki would definitely not believe, Light simply nodded, responding quite cordially to the man, "Yes, I had plenty of fun." Despite his brief self-deprecating tirade, the teen was in higher spirits than he had been in earlier, because ultimately he could understand that this loss was a success, even if it wasn't his final goal. Why should he beat himself up over it after all? Eventually he would reach 130, right?...
Suddenly Light felt a foreign hand on his shoulder, but instead of shaking it off as he normally would, he simply turned to the older man, cocking an eyebrow and awaiting an explanation. The detective only smirked, responding quietly, "I figured physical contact would be the only way that I could bring you out of whatever fantasy you're revisiting...so can we go do some work now?"
The teen chuckled slightly, amused by Ryuzaki's misconception of what he had been doing earlier in the bathroom. It was an appreciated misjudgment though, because Light would much prefer that Ryuzaki thought that he was masturbating in there as opposed to weighing himself. The latter event was considerably more incriminating.
Quietly, both boys settled themselves on the couch that had become so familiar to them, a staple in their daily lives as they spent so much time there typing away, constantly trying to unearth more clues regarding the Kira investigation. Time spent there actually working today would be short lived though, considering that everyone's famous blond had decided that today was the day to bust in uninvited, not that this was unusual for considering that Misa never thought that she would need an invitation to visit her 'lover'. Thus. She barged into the apartment in her usual fashion, hands flying in the air as she pounced on top of Light, squeezing him tightly to prove her undying affection. How sweet of her.
"Hello, Misa." Light greeted the vivacious blonde calmly, casually stroking the side of her petite body as she was laid across him; he must have been in a very good mood to treat his 'girlfriend' to such rare affection. Ryuzaki even noticed how unusually touchy the generally distant Yagami was and took quick note of it, now unsure as to why the boy was in such high spirits.
"Oh, Light-chan must really love me... he's petting me right in front of Ryuzaki!" Misa was ecstatic, readjusting her position so that she was now burying her angelic face right into Light's chest, not caring that she was more than likely completely blocking his view of the laptop's screen. "Oh Light-chan is so lovable, so so so lovable, I love him so much...wait, wha?" Misa continued to dribble mentally, suddenly noticing yet another change in her lover's anatomy, was Light in shape again? Misa could barely contain herself before releasing an outburst that could only depict the true joy she was now overwhelmed with, "Oh, Light-chan! You're fit again! Yay! Did you lose weight because I thought you were fat? You didn't have to but it's so nice of you! It only proves how much you love me! This must be why you asked me to buy that scale for you! Yay, I'm so happy now!" Then, before Light could escape, Misa planted an affectionate kiss right on his cheek, taking a few seconds before removing her lips from his skin.
Before Light could even defend himself, this scale obviously a secret he was keeping from Ryuzaki, the older detective opened his mouth and turned to Misa, beating him to the punch, "Oh, I see. So you're the reason why there's been a scale in the cabinet." He then chuckled quietly as Light had begun to blush, almost uncontrollably so, why did Misa always have to ruin everything? Also, how did Ryuzaki even know about the scale? It's not like he had ever seen the man shower... then again, after finding out about the cookie dough, Light wouldn't even think to ask. Still, before he could even come up with an excuse now, Misa would speak over him; he was beginning that his best bet was to lay back and pretend to disappear, mentally withdraw himself from the conversation. It was the only solution.
As Light was beginning to sink into forced unconsciousness, he was rudely awakened by Misa's shrill voice, the girl obviously excited to be speaking about her 'Light-chan' to anyone, "Of course I'm the reason why the scale is there! I'd do anything to help out my precious Light-chan!" She then gave him a thoughtful squeeze on the shoulder, thinking that would get him excited, but instead Light simply shut his eyes, still attempting to block out this mortifying conversation.
The older detective, virtually incapable of missing any detail, quickly picked up on Light's discomfort and decided to further the situation, both attacking Light and provoking Misa, essentially hitting two birds with one stone, "Oh, well, I'm glad you're trying to motivate him to lose weight. It's really unhealthy to be overweight, you know." He then stopped mid-thought and reached over the table, grabbing a cookie and taking a bite, munching on it thoughtfully, "You must really care about him."
Misa's soft expression lit up as she was now fascinated with Ryuzaki and how easily he could depict her true emotions for Light, she had nothing but care for her boyfriend! Thus, she nodded in agreement and stated confidently, "Wow Ryuzaki, you are exactly right! I care so much about my Light-chan's health!" She continued to rub Light's shoulder gently, not realizing that he was practically fuming in his seat, his eyes staring holes through the both of them.
The brunette teen took a sharp inhale before quickly cutting into the conversation, very irritated with where it was headed, "I don't know what either of you are fucking talking about, I'm perfectly healthy and not overweight whatsoever. Seriously, I just fucking weighed myself five minutes ago!" He then lightly pushed Misa off of him and crossed his arms, hoping that the dumb girl would get the message that he definitely did not want to be touched.
"I thought you were peeing, Light-kun." Ryuzaki replied smartly, not taking a moment to confront the boy with his obvious lie, especially after what was essentially a confession. He then began to smile smugly, satisfied that he had so easily outed the boy. Why was it that once body mass was mentioned, all of Light's intelligence and poise simply went out the window? Interesting, very interesting.
"I peed afterward, alright? I shouldn't have to be telling you this." Light replied in a typically whiny tone, once the boy became agitated, the pitch of his voice would heighten and develop an almost pathetic quality, it was a shame to behold. Thankfully though, this embarrassing conversation would not go on any further as Misa now felt that it was her turn to rudely interrupt, the spotlight had been off of her for too long. "Why are you guys so weird? Anyway Light, I'm really proud of you! You're almost normal!" she exclaimed cheerfully, not realizing until Light began to glare at her that her choice of words were probably not ideal.
The girl actually cringed slightly, feeling remorseful after saying such a blatantly offensive thing, what to do... what to do... She would just have to make up for it, that's all, she most certainly not dig a hole for herself as she did last time, this time she knew better. "I mean, it's not like you look... not normal, you're just.... well, it doesn't matter... I love you anyway and you have been losing weight and I'm still proud! Yay!" She then tried throwing her arms around him but Light simply dodged the embrace, beginning to get up as Ryuzaki so thoughtfully added, "Hm, perhaps. It might just be the sweater though, black is slimming."
Light's face twitched, and before he could restrain himself his head had tilted downward and his eyes had darted straight toward his sweater, assessing his body skeptically as both Misa and Ryuzaki had so openly insulted it. "I don't have to take this, even if I am a filthy pig, I still have the right to disallow people from talking about my body whenever they like." Light asserted to himself mentally as he stood up fully, calmly announcing to the room, "I'm leaving."
Before he could escape Misa had managed to wrap her arms around Light's waist, holding tightly and dragging her feet as he attempted to leave the area. She whined pathetically, "No Light-kun! Please don't leave me here all alone! Please! I'm sorry! I beg you!"
Light was unaffected by her pleads though, he simply peeled off the pesky blonde and pointed to the door as he commanded curtly, "Just get out." He then folded his arms and stood stoically as the girl finally listened and reluctantly sulked her way out of the room, bidding Light a final goodbye as she stated sadly, "See you later Light-chan, I love you." She then closed the door softly and meandered down the hall, upset to be kicked out by her 'lover'.
All of this commotion made Light even more uneasy then he was before. He took a seat back on the couch and closed his eyes, realizing that he wouldn't be able to get away from Ryuzaki no matter how hard he tried. Still, despite that the detective had realized that the good looking teen was distressed, he decided that it would be the best time to verbally assault Light again, hoping to really get under his skin this time. So, the man started quietly, acting rather nonchalant considering the events that had just unfolded, "Hm, having relationship problems? Maybe we should talk about it."
Light's blood began to boil, he was fuming with anger, but instead of beginning a fist fight just yet he simply stood up, appearing to walk away until he grabbed the tray of cookies, lifting them high above his head before throwing them all to the ground, acting so quickly that there was no time for Ryuzaki to stop him. He didn't even feel guilty about ridding Ryuzaki of his own pleasure, the asshole deserved it after treating him like shit so long. However, one couldn't expect the older man to back down now, in this situation he actually had something to fight over, which would most likely only add to his advantage.
Ryuzaki's already large eyes widened even more, his face revealing terror as he stood up, his sight locked on the now inedible cookies, only trailing off slightly to meet with the gaze of the perpetrator. The raven haired man raised his voice, practically screaming at Light as he was overwhelmed with fury, "Trying to quell temptation?!"
Light scrunched his nose and glared viciously at the man, he was tired of Ryuzaki making implications that he was fat, he already understood his current situation and was ready to move on, not just dwell on obvious truths. Thus, he screamed back, equally frustrated with the man, "So maybe if you stopped eating so goddamned much you could actually find Kira!" Light recrossed his arms, nervous yet excited as anger continued to boil inside him, inciting an explosion.
Ryuzaki obviously didn't take well to the teen yelling back at him, especially after he had just knocked over all of his cookies, this behavior was plainly unacceptable and deserved some sort of retribution. Now, he took another step closer to the boy, their faces less than a foot apart as he let out another scream in retaliation, hoping to really offend Light this time, "Well maybe if you stopped eating so goddamned much you wouldn't have to wear that black sweater!"
Light lowered his eyebrows, now fully engulfed in rage as he grabbed Ryuzaki by the collar of his shirt, shoving him with all of his might towards the couch, hoping the man would hit his head somewhere on the way down. However, Light had obviously forgotten that they were handcuffed together because quickly after he had forced the dark haired man onto the couch, his body followed as well, landing abruptly on top of him.
Ryuzaki sneered, looking up at Light coldly, "Just because you're upset with me doesn't mean that you should suffocate me." Light began to breath quickly, heavy inhales and exhales as he wound up his arm, now completely incapable of restraining himself as he punched Ryuzaki square in the face, hoping that it would leave one hell of a bruise. Ryuzaki wouldn't take that though, at least not without retaliating, therefore he did the only thing he could manage in such a compromising position, he kneed Light in the balls which then forced him to retreat to the opposite end of the couch, cupping himself in agony.
Now Ryuzaki was on the offensive, taking control as he mounted the defenseless Light, gripping the boy's face between his hands as he prepared to execute an even more violent attack. He was about to strike the boy until he became distracted by the Light's blinking eyes, the color of warm amber and watery, his long eyelashes batting quickly as he was obviously trying to hold back the influx of tears. He couldn't help himself then, in the midst of the aggression and anger Ryuzaki leaned forward and planted his lips right against Light's, pressing against them roughly for a few seconds until both of their mouths opened, tongues fighting for dominance as Ryuzaki's arms were now resting on Light's shoulders, his fingers tousling his thick hair forcefully, the boy almost yelping from the pain he had inflicted... but because of his continued participation it was obvious he liked it.
The moment only lasted for seconds though, Light's eyes had suddenly widened as he had evaluated the situation that had just unfolded, was he really that easy? Abruptly he shook off Ryuzaki and had run off, reaching the bedroom door as quickly as he could so that he could speedily close it behind him, locking the door and unhooking himself, now free from Ryuzaki for at least a little while... what had just happened?
Hours had passed as Light had remained alone in the bedroom, Ryuzaki not even having bothered to talk to him at this point. The detective must have thought that it would be in his best interest to allow the boy some time to cool down. Still, instead of trying to sleep or at least relax himself, Light had spent his coveted time alone berating himself and his body, finding that the 'true' reason that he could no longer spend any time with Ryuzaki without fighting was because his weight was getting in the way, becoming such a distraction and hindrance that normal human communication was no longer possible; he was a beast.
The teen stood anxiously in front of the bedroom's sole full length mirror, his jeans were still on but his torso was bare, he decided it was time that he do a full evaluation of his body. "Why are you so fucking fat?" he asked himself casually, turning to the side to get a better profile view, running his palm over his chest then down toward his midsection, cringing once he reached his stomach. Admittedly, it was incredibly flat, it just wasn't the right texture. It was too soft, too this, too this, not matter what Light looked like it wasn't enough, there was always some flaw that was to be uncovered, something to complain about. He sighed, continuing to examine himself until a too familiar voice echoed into the room, "So are you going to let me into my bedroom?" he heard Ryuzaki call.
Light rolled his eyes, didn't he know that the teen needed some space? He walked towards the door though, just so that he wouldn't have to scream when he replied to Ryuzaki bitterly, "Why, planning on going to sleep?" He then crossed his arms, amused with his own sarcasm while Ryuzaki was obviously irritated. The detective remained calm though as he replied to the now snotty teen, "Hm, I guess you're not letting me in. Hold on a moment, I'll be back soon."
The brunette sighed, "Whatever." he thought to himself. He then returned to the mirror and turned his back toward it, craning his neck so that he could get a better view of his hips and ass, "Wow, someone here is a fat ass, quite literally." he insulted himself mentally, his attention now fully returned to criticizing his body. At least until his interrupted, again. This time not by Ryuzaki's voice though, instead by the sound of fingers tapping loudly against keys, happily typing away.
Once the detective heard Light's footsteps approaching the door, he decided to speak, "Hm, interesting computer history you got here... I would never have guessed that you took such an interest in diet and exercise." He nodded his head, waiting for a response, almost certain his plan would work. He could practically see Light through the wooden door, running around frantically thinking "Oh God, what do I do?"
"Oh God, what do I do?" Light thought to himself, horrified by the idea of Ryuzaki surfing his web history. He had to succumb, he had to open the door, lest Ryuzaki find out even less desirable information about him through use of his laptop. Who knows what incriminating things the teen had searched lately? Still, there was a chance that the man could be intimidated, he might as well try before completely giving up. "Close the computer." Light commanded, hoping his assertive tone would work with the detective. It was hopeless though as Ryuzaki cordially responded, "Make me."
Light shrugged, understanding that he was essentially helpless in the situation. Thus, he went and grabbed his shirt off the bed, pulled it over his head and walked towards the door, unlocking it and opening it slightly only to have the rest of the door flung open as he was discourteously tackled by an angry detective. The man grinned as he had Light pinned to the floor, quickly wrestling him back into the abandoned handcuff,"Hm, I see you thought that you were allowed to remove the handcuffs. I guess I should start keeping you on a shorter leash..."
The teen winced, wiggling slightly but giving up rather quickly;all the fight that he was so famous for had withered away, he was just too tired at this point. He sighed quietly, looking up at Ryuzaki with his weary eyes as he asked shyly, his voice weak as well,"Can you please just get off of me?"
Ryuzaki took in Light's sudden helplessness and immediately felt guilty, getting off of the boy because he suddenly felt responsible for his misery. Was he responsible? No, definitely not... that was a ridiculous notion. He may have teased the boy a bit but there's no way that Light could become this upset over a few jokes. Ryuzaki ruminated over this for awhile until his thoughts were interrupted by a quiet plea, "Can you remove the handcuff? I need to change."
The raven haired man shrugged his shoulders and responded in an apathetic tone, "Okay."
He then easily unlatched the handcuff and stared at the boy as he walked away, the teen pulling open a drawer and removing what appeared to be sleepwear. He continued to watch, justifying that it was only standard procedure because Light was suspected to be Kira and he was to keep a strict watch on him at all times....but even Ryuzaki could see through his own empty argument.
Light shifted around a bit, trying to change but obviously feeling uncomfortable as Ryuzaki so blatantly stared at him. He turned toward the man, asking quietly, "Ryuzaki, could you please look away?" He was just so sick of fighting at this point, so sick of constantly having to defend himself against this man, it was really tearing him apart.
The detective didn't understand though and continued to stare at the boy in wonder, curious as to why he wouldn't let him watch him. The two had undressed in front of each other a thousand times, they were connected by a chain twenty-four hours a day, they even shared a mutual kiss today, so what was the big deal? Ryuzaki folded his arms and let out an exasperated sigh, could Light really be that insecure that he wouldn't even allow the detective to look at him anymore? There was only one way to find out, besides, the only way to discover where a line truly lies is to cross it, which is exactly what Ryuzaki planned to do. Thus, he walked closer to the boy and responded blankly, "Oh please Light-kun, it's not like I haven't seen your love handles before."
The teen winced, shocked that the man had been so openly horrible to him. Not that he necessarily shouldn't be, but never before had he insulted his weight in such plain and offensive terms. Even if it was true, how could he deserve this kind of torture? Light simply sighed though, deciding that none of this was worth it, retreating to the bed fully dressed because there would be no worse fate than having to speak to Ryuzaki again. He would just sleep in his clothes, it wasn't a huge deal. And as he lay there he grabbed a pillow and put it over his face, creating a physical barrier between himself and the enemy.
After this display of blatant misery Ryuzaki actually cringed slightly, realizing the severity of what he had just done. Was that the straw that had broken the camel's back? Hopefully not....but he should have taken a hint by how distressed the teen was before he even initiated conversation, how was he going to make up for this? Well, getting his pajamas for him would probably be a start. Thus, Ryuzaki grabbed Light's sleepwear, approaching the bed very slowly before he called out the other's name quietly, "Light?"
Light threw the pillow off of his face in disbelief. Did Ryuzaki actually have the nerve to speak to him? After what he had just said? This was fucking ridiculous, how could the man be so blind as to how miserable he was at the moment. The teen sat up, facing the detective as he addressed him coldly, "Leave me alone Ryuzaki, can't you take a fucking hint that I don't want to speak to you?" He then sighed, realizing he had asked the man a question, now surely he would be met with an even more aggravating response.
Ryuzaki flinched slightly because of Light's sudden outburst of anger, but after a moment or two he collected himself, realizing he more than damn well deserved it. Deciding to persist and perhaps cheer up the sullen teenager, the raven haired man placed the stack of clothes carefully on the corner of the bed, looking directly at him as he tried to take back what had been said earlier, "I was only kidding Light, really. Just put on your pajamas."
It was almost sweet how desperate the man suddenly was to please Light, but the teenager still remained reluctant. He took his time to reposition himself at the corner of the bed, seated so that his legs would hang off the side. Lethargically he grabbed at the hem of his shirt, pulling it slowly above his head, momentarily revealing his now toned midsection before throwing on a shirt more suitable for sleeping. He then sat quietly, too drained to go through the motions of removing his pants, if Ryuzaki cared so much he could do it himself, a seemingly innocent threat.
It didn't take the dark haired man much time to realize that Light had been waiting for him to do the honors, so he leaned forward and gingerly held the waist of the boy's jeans, chills running down his neck as his cold fingers gently brushed the warm skin of his stomach, hoping to stay there a bit longer as he finished unbuttoning. Ryuzaki then reluctantly changed position of his hands as he grabbed the sides of the denim pants, pulling them down slowly to be sure that he didn't come off as an aggressor, he was doing this out of kindness, not sick perversion...supposedly.
Ryuzaki then pulled the sweatpants off of the bed and slipped Light's bare feet into each of the pant legs, watching with extreme pleasure as the teen's taut calves and pale thighs were slowly engulfed by the loose cotton. The whole act was nothing short of tantalizing. Before the older man could even help himself, his arms were draped around the teens shoulders and their lips instantly met, parting slightly in a few moments as Ryuzaki began a quiet entrance, massaging Light's tongue gently with his own in the slow passionate kiss.
The brunette boy leaned cautiously into the older man's comforting embrace, sucking sweetly on his bottom lip, his eyes shut gently as he bathed in the moment. He then pulled back slightly and placed the palm of his hand just beneath Ryuzaki's ear at the side of his neck, still looking at the older man longingly, yet overwhelmed by the fatigue that this day had brought upon him. In the past few hours Light had gone through more emotions than he potentially had throughout his entire life. Thus, the teen yawned slightly and spoke to the detective in a very hushed tone, his eyes half shut as his lids were growing increasingly heavy, "I think it's time to go to sleep."
Ryuzaki nodded, understanding that the boy had a less than ideal day and was ready to retire for the night. Although, he really wished that they would've been able to continue for a bit longer. Nonetheless, perhaps if the man played his cards right he could end up having the handsome teen asleep in his arms tonight, or at least let him cuddle for a bit. So, inspired by a desire to spoon, Ryuzaki made his way toward the other half of the room to flip the light switch and stripped down to his boxers in the process. Carefully he crawled back into bed with the boy, not being very shy as he draped his arm around his frame, taking note that he had yet to fall asleep. This was perfect, now that Light was still awake it was his opportunity to continue buttering up the boy, seeing what else he could do to get on his good side. Thus, in a nature as well meaning as possible, Ryuzaki inched a bit closer to the boy and whispered into his ear, "You know what always makes me feel better, sugar cubes. Do you want one? I'm sure it'll make you much less upset."
The teen scrunched his nose, obviously irritated with the detective, now that he wasn't kissing the man anymore he was going to antagonize him? This was ridiculous, but perhaps this was Ryuzaki's attempt at proving he 'cared.' Light would accept it for now, and hopefully if he gave a simple response to the man he would leave him alone. He sighed, responding quietly, "No thank you."
Ryuzaki was surprised for a moment but it didn't last, he should have expected that Light would turn down an offer of food, especially at this point. Maybe he needed to flatter him using a different technique, something that would appeal more to the boy. Perhaps he could compliment him on his intelligence? It was worth an attempt, but Ryuzaki has proved time and time again that he isn't particularly skilled in the social department. As the detective embraced the boy, he leaned in closer once more to pay him what would be a much more satisfying comment, "You are a very smart boy, Light."
Light twitched, this sort of behavior was expected from Misa but from Ryuzaki it was simply creepy and intolerable. As much as he found the man attractive, he still insulted the hell out of him today, and just because they had a brief moment of lust does not mean that all was well. In fact, nothing was well, if anything Ryuzaki took advantage of Light's vulnerability and approached him romantically when he was tired and defenseless. Maybe that wasn't his original intention, but that was what happened, and as Light began to reevaluate the situation he seethed with anger, now ignoring the man despite the fact that he was obviously awake.
The detective was slightly disappointed, perhaps Light thought that he was mocking him? Or maybe the boy wasn't interested in flattery regarding his intelligence simply because he was already aware of how bright he is. This was getting terribly frustrating, but Ryuzaki genuinely wanted to improve the mood of the boy before he went to sleep, he felt cruel leaving him to bed with so many negative thoughts racing through his mind. Therefore, there would be one last attempt, a final try to please Light before he would just allow the boy to fall asleep as he was, "Light," he whispered before continuing, "I liked the sweater you wore today." He then cuddled even closer to the boy, fully embracing him in his arms.
The brunette snapped though, wriggling out of Ryuzaki's loving hold and fumbling as he escaped the bed, venting angrily at the detective, "Ryuzaki, please, there's nothing you can say that's going to make me feel any better, just leave me and my love handles alone." He saw right through what the detective was trying to pull and frankly he wasn't having it. If this man believed that he could tell Light whatever he pleased then cuddle with him as though nothing had happened, then he was horribly mistaken.
Ryuzaki's eyes widened, he knew that the boy was upset, but had really taken all of his insults that literally? Quickly he also scrambled out of the bed and rushed to where Light stood, placing his wiry hands onto the boy's slender hips without invitation, disbelieving that he would honestly think that there were 'love handles' there. Exasperated, Ryuzaki attempted to defend both himself and Light's body, grabbing at him slightly as he announced "You don't even have love handles, what's wrong with you?!"
Light shook the man off, shaken by the sudden invasion of his personal space. He crossed his arms and glared at Ryuzaki in the dark room, confronting him about all of his hypocrisy, "Oh please, you're the one who's constantly contradicting themselves about my weight! I know I'm fat and I'm incredibly consistent in my belief. You on the other hand make a nasty comment one moment and then try to seduce me within the next! Very inconsistent for a detective if you ask me!" He then hurried toward the bed and pulled off the blanket, rushing outside of the room. Ryuzaki rolled his eyes, this argument had quickly become incredibly absurd, "What do I care if you take the blanket? It's not like I would be sleeping anyway." he spoke to practically himself in the dark emptied room, irritated that the situation was no longer in his favor.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the fourth chapter! Get ready for what may be some sexy time in the upcoming fifth! ;)
