Light walked over to Via. "Hey, don't look so down. You're supposed to be parting. You can't let your sister have all the fun! Come on, at least dance with me," he said. "God, you sure are the shy one," Via said laughing, "Well, I guess I'll dance with you." Light took her hand and walked out to the dance floor. L saw the two of them and put on a slow song for them to dance to. Both of them turned bright red as Light put his arms around Via's waste.
They started dancing and Via placed her head on Light's shoulder. Once the song was over they went to a table and sat down next to each other. "Oh, I almost forgot," Light said, "Your gift." He pulled a small golden box out of his shirt pocket and handed it to Via. Via carefully opened the box and looked inside at the diamond necklace inside. "It's beautiful," she said. "Really?" Light said, "Well I mean I wasn't sure if you'd like it or not and—"Via kissed him gently on the lips. "It's perfect," she said. Light took the necklace and lifted Via's hair. He clipped it in the back and let it fall onto her neck.
Via played with the diamond, rubbing it in between her fingers. The light fell on the diamond, and cast beams of light around. Via stared at the beams, her pale blue eyes transfixed. Light smiled, and slipped his arm around her waist again. Via leaned back onto Light. " Thank you so much Light…I can't believe you got me this..". Via said softly. Light was tense and nervous, Via had never been his close to him before…in fact this was the first day she'd made any physical contact since the first day she was here and she shook Light's hand.
" I saw it in the village and thought it was the type of thing you'd like." Light said, treating it as if it were nothing at all.
Via twisted the necklace again so the beams rearrange themselves. She was so close to her dreams coming true…she couldn't believe that Light actually seemed to care for her as more then a student. Via turned around so she was facing Light. She let go of the necklace and hugged Light. Light's body went stiff, but then relaxed. Her hair smelled good toLight. It was like mint and tea with vanilla somewhere in there as well. They stayed like that for a few minutes, and then Light excused himself, seeing as It was getting late .
Via sat alone, tugging lightly on her necklace, and wondered what tomorrow would bring.
