The rest of the day carried on like normal, finding clues to the Kira case. Not too many leads were found today. The only thing we know now is that the killings are still continuing, but not just to criminals. This is certainly not the same Kira we've been dealing with before. I wonder...
"Ryuuzaki, are you finding anything new yet?" Light interrupted my train of thought with this question. It startled me when I turned around to see him so close. Oh goodness, I have to get used to this soon. "Not yet Light-kun, I'm stumped for once." This isn't really true, I've been confused before. But this is one of the most unusual cases I've EVER worked on. The sudden change of attitudes, killing with only a face and/or name, and the breaks of killings are so overwhelming!
"As am I, Ryuuzaki" Poor Light, I wonder how being locked up like that and suspecting to be a mass murderer feels. And to think, he's only a teenager. Wow, I sounded old saying that. And I'm only 24 years old.
"Well, it's getting late, we should be heading to bed, Light-kun" "Yeah, everyone else has left so..." Did I mention Light was cute when he is nervous? I did? Oh, well he is. "Don't worry Light, if you have to use the restroom, you are free to do that by yourself, but during anything else, as I have said, you will be with me." "I know, Ryuuzaki, but I'm just awkward around people." "As am I Light-kun, for I haven't had any major contact with other people in a long time." I can tell that this upset him. I really don't like it when people feel bad for me.
"B-but don't feel bad Light-kun, I chose this life-style, and I'm ok with it!" I hope I saved us from awkwardness. Light walked up to me and took a seat next to me at the desk. Well, we were as close as we could be now... "Ryuuzaki, what's it like being alone all the time?" I knew Light would ask a question like that, but why do I feel like I'm startled? It's like my heart is pounding out of my chest.
"Well, Light-kun, you get used to it after a while. The only down-side that I can see is the social gap and no one to bring me cake." Light giggled at this. I've never heard him giggle, only snicker. Let me tell you, this is a piece of work! "Leave it to Ryuuzaki to talk about sweets in every conversation." Light teased. "At least I don't have a girlfriend-" "Ryuuzaki! That's not something to brag about!" Light interrupted. "I know Light-kun!! I was going to say that at least I don't have a girlfriend I don't have feelings for!" Light looked shocked.
"You said it was one-sided right?" Man, I hope it was. I wouldn't want to wrong about this. Don't get your hopes up too high L. "Yeah, I guess I said that. B-but I don't like to think about her as a girlfriend. More like a good friend that I have no intention of dating." This is where I breathe a sigh of relief. It feels good to know that you are right. And especially when the news is good. "Ryuuzaki, can I trust you with a secret?" Light said, with a blush creeping on his face, painting his ears as well. "Why, yes you can Light-kun. We are together on this, and not to mention the fact that the chances of you being Kira will decrese, depending of the content of the secret of course." Light looks annoyed. "Ryuuzaki, please stop talking too much! Do you want to hear it or not?!?" Do I really talk to much?
"I suppose I do want to hear it. Tell me," Light cleared his throat. That blush has already turned red and is making its way to his neck. "Ryuuzaki, the reason that I don't feel that way for Misa is, I'm gay." Shock struck me like a bus. Light never appeared to look gay. But then again, a lot of people don't, from what I've read. What do I do now? If I tell him the truth about me, will he want to share the same bed like we were supposed to. If he trusted me with this information, I must be important, right? Oh well, here goes nothing.
"Light-kun, if it makes you feel better, so am I. I will ensure you that you are not alone," Light's face brightened. Finally, I feel like I've done something right with him around. "Thank you Ryuuzaki! It must of been hard admitting something like that to a suspect." "Why Light-kun, you are more that just a suspect to me. Come on, we need our rest. We have more investigating to do in the morning." And with that we headed to our shared room to sleep in peace and dream of what was next to come in this odd chain-bound relationship.
