When Light left the library and the small child had trailed silently behind him, which had induced a smile from his velvet lips. He was fascinated by the boy, but hadn't expected the feeling to be mutual. As the teenager looked about the sky he noticed that the sun had risen visibly higher . It would be dark soon and what about the child? Shouldn't he be headed home. Light paused his steady pace and the little raven, who had been dazedly staring at his feet didn't notice. The child ran into him and made a disgruntled noise. The teen turned around to face the kid with a promising smile.
" I'll walk you home, okay?"
The child stared a him blankly and Light didn't much appreciate the blank expression that had filled the boys face. Light opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by the sound of the child's grumbling stomach. The boy continued to stare at him and drew his hand to his mouth, where he began to nibble on his thumb. Light let out a sigh. So the kid was hungry…well there were two options to this scenario. He could take the boy home and leave the feeding to the child's parents or he could take the boy someplace to eat. Another heavy sigh surfaced itself.
" Hey, are you hungry?" Light asked . A stiff nod was the response.
" Do you want to go eat with me?" He inquired further and once again he received a nod.
" Lets go." Light mumbled as he began to walk briskly once again. His eyes narrowed as he glanced about the nearby restaurants . He wasn't sure what type of food the boy preferred, but he honestly didn't feel like turning to ask. So Light walked down the cobbled streets hurriedly with the frail boy tagging behind.
About five minutes passed before the teen spotted a stone building with a pink-flowered vine climbing the masonry. Over the door hung a red awning and above it was a balcony, which was filled with round-glass tables and lined with black-cast iron. Light remembered he and his family had eaten here on several previous occasion and that his father had a tab here.
The teen and the boy entered the restaurant and were automatically greeted by a smiling stewardess.
" Can I help you, gentlemen?"
" Why , yes, I would like a table for two on the balcony." Light commented.
The woman eyed him cautiously and then her eyes settled on the small boy that was trying to hide himself behind Light. He felt uncomfortable by the unpleasant look on the woman's face, but he said nothing. He had just realized that this establishment was one of those that required dress clothing. Light's apparel met the dress code, of course. He was dressed in his usual khaki jeans, button-up shirt and a pullover, but the boy was dressed sloppily in a white shirt, baggy jeans and barefoot.
" Erm, might I ask how you will be paying tonight, sir?" the lady questioned as her eyes settled on Light again.
" The Yagami tab." he remarked as if it were an obvious statement.
" O-Oh of course, then follow me, sir." the woman uttered quickly trying to cover her mistake. Light smiled coldly. He knew the name 'Yagami' is what had done it. His father was a well known patron at this place and so there would be no questioning if his son came to eat here.
The two boys followed the woman passed a room filled with shimmering chandeliers, paintings, and tables topped with red tablecloths . The three proceeded toward a black cast iron staircase and trekked upward to find another room just as expensively lavish as the previous. They ventured to the other side of the room and exited through a glass door.
Out on the balcony Light could easily see the purple-pink haze of twilight beginning to settle in the sky like the puffs of smoke from nearby chimney tops. The teen took his pick of one of the glass tables and the boy situated himself in an odd manner across from him. They discarded their books to the side of the table and sat quietly until another woman appeared and the former left. The raven-haired boy stared at the female and Light smiled. She was what most people would consider beautiful. She had a pearly smile , blue eyes, and silky blonde tresses tied neatly in a pony-tail. She leaned across the table and lit the candle. The girl pulled out two menus with delicate writing on them and then spoke
" Enjoy your date! I'll be your waitress for the evening." came a overly-cheery voice as she handed them the menus.
The boy's head dipped forward with a scarlet blush and Light jerked his face toward the woman. Had she just called this a 'date'? He was with a boy and one that was obviously much younger than him. What did she take him for? A gay pedophile?!? The waitress noticed Light's sharp glare and covered her mouth in embarrassment.
" Oh my! I'm so sorry. I'm just so used to saying that. You see, only people on dates come out onto the balcony at night." she apologized ineffectively. An eerie quiet followed her words so she quickly dismissed herself after getting their orders for drinks.
Both boys began to peer interestedly at the food options in an attempt to avoid eye-contact. Of course, after a few agitatedly silent moments Light felt that he just had to disrupt it.
" So what do you want to eat?" he inquired.
" Cake." the boy responded.
" You can't have dessert first!" Light half-laughed.
" Its not dessert." the child responded as he crossed his arm sullenly.
" First you eat something nutritious and then you can have as much cake as you want." Light stated.
" Really?" the pale boy exclaimed as he slammed his hands on the table and leaned his face closer to Light as if trying to find a hint of lie etched somewhere on the older boy's face. Their eyes locked just a few centimeters away from each other's and Light could feel the child's excited breath tickle his lips. Light felt something constrict in his throat. The boy was too close and his breath smelled immensely sweet. The teen leaned forward and whispered " Yes, really" as he brushed his fingers at a couple of straying black locks. The boy's dark eyes widened to an absurd degree and his face became a rosy pink. The boy's lips began to quiver and Light smiled into the onyx gaze fondly. Small arms shot upward to entangled fingers in auburn hair. The two of them remained like that for unspoken moments before the shuffling of feet caused them to pull away from each other and settle their bottoms in the chair.
" Your drinks." the waitress commented with a wry smile as she handed them both a glass. Light had to hold back the scowl that yearned to surface. So what if he and the little boy had actually somehow got a mood going? That didn't make him a gay pedophile like she had assumed and besides it was the boy that had become all clingy not him.
" So what will it be?" the waitress asked as she brought out a notepad and looked at the child.
" Salad." he stated dryly. Light brought his drink to his lips and smiled. Well, that is pretty nutritious.
" Do you want any dressing?" she asked.
The boy's eyes suddenly filled with interest. " Can you put chocolate icing on it?"
Light spat his drink up and eyed the boy disbelievingly. Did he really just ask that?
The waitress eyed the boy confused. " Is that a joke?" she laughed uncomfortably.
" No." the little raven said as he crossed his arms defiantly.
" Yes, it is. He was just kidding. He doesn't like salad dressing is all." Light lied as he reprieved the boy with a stern look. The waitress turned her eyes to Light.
" Oh , what would you like then, sir?" she asked
" I'll take the pasta." he responded.
" Very well. I will return with your orders soon." she commented as she took the menus from them. Once the woman was gone Light eyed the boy stormily and the child met his gaze indifferently.
" She's creepily perky." the boy commented.
" And your weird." Light fumed " Who eats chocolate icing on their salad?"
The boy flinched at Light's word. The teen had called him 'weird'. It hurt, but he ignored the pain and stared indifferently at the stars that had began to appear. There were so many of them.
" What's your name?" the boy asked after a moment.
" Its Light Yagami. What's yours?"
" Call me Ryuuzaki, please." the boy responded.
" Alright, Ryuuzaki."
" Yes, Yagami-san?"
Light blinked at being addressed in such a manner. His father was Yagami-san, not him.
" Please, address me with -kun" Light stated.
" Alright, Yagami-kun." the boy remarked as he stared deeply at the teen
The dinner arrived not long afterward and while Light had taken his time to enjoy his pasta, the boy named Ryuuzaki devoured his salad in record time. Soon the waitress was sent to bring the boy a piece of a strawberry cake. The little raven ate it happily then asked for a piece of chocolate cake, which he had soon eaten gleefully. Before , Light knew it the child had eaten all seventeen items on the dessert menu and he was forced to stop the boy from making an even bigger glutton of himself.
Once they left, the restaurant Light couldn't manage to eradicate the image of the adorable little raven piping down so many sweets. He wondered if Ryuuzaki's lips were just as delectable as the foods he seemed to enjoy the most.
The little child looked up anxiously into the night sky and noticed that though it was dark all the pretty stars had vanished to be replaced with gray-black clouds.
" Its going to rain, Yagami-kun." the child commented.
" Well, I live close by. Why don't you come home with me and phone your parents?" Light suggested.
" Yes, that would be best." the boy remarked.
Suddenly a clap of thunder filled the air with noise and was followed by a flash of lighting mere seconds later. The little raven jumped at the sight and Light tugged him close against himself. Droplets of rain had begun to fall and was already well into the process of soaking their clothes.
" Come on." he mumbled soothingly into the boy ear. The boy nodded and Light entwined their fingers and began to dash off in the direction of his family mansion. The pale, boy stumbled quickly behind the teen so as not to be separated from the fingers that were warmly interlocked with his. His play-mate had forgotten him, but the little boy would silently forgave him. After all, he had taken him out on a date, gave him sweets, and was now taking him back to his place. The little boy shivered as he realized this relationship was moving way to fast. He had once read that it wasn't appropriate to got back to your date's place until after the third date.
The little raven stared up at the handsome teen, who was totally oblivious to the boy's thoughts and his misconception about their dining together being a 'date'.
Will he try to kiss me on out first date? If he does, then dating rules say I should turn him down, but…..
Light turned to face the boy, his brow slightly furrowed. " Hey, can you move faster? Its pouring down rain!" the teen stated as he pulled his fingers from the boys.
The child felt himself shrinking at the loss of contact.
" Yagami-kun?" the little boy drew his thumb to his mouth and frowned. Light began to worry over what could be distressing the child. He crouch down beside the small boy and nestled his fingers in the ebony locks. His auburn eyes peered curiously into the onyx ones that resided a few centimeters away
" Yes, Ryuuzaki?" Light asked.
" Is it okay to kiss on the first date, even though dating guidelines say it's a bad idea?" the child questioned.
Light laughed softly and nuzzled the little raven's cheek. " Do you really think this is a date? Is that what's distressing you? Just pretend you didn't hear the nonsense that woman said." Light coaxed sweetly.
" N-nonsense?" the boy whispered so lightly that the teen almost hadn't perceived it. Light began to blush, at his own error. Had the boy taken it to heart, because he was overly attached to him already? He smiled, he was probably already the kids role model. There was no-way the boy had taken this romantically, the child was to young to be gay. Or could it be because the boy was so young that he still thought girls had cooties and so he thought it normal to be so close to a guy? Well, either way Light didn't want to hurt the adorable child. Which was rather odd, because usually he wouldn't' t care.
Light leaned in closer to boy. "Its okay to kiss someone whenever you want to kiss them." Light mumbled.
" Really?" the little raven exclaimed merrily.
" Yes." Light replied.
The child let closed his eyes and leaned forward to place a tender kiss on Light's cheek. The teen turned scarlet from the pleasant feeling. He pulled the child closer to him in a warm embrace. This child was sweet, and something told Light he wanted a taste. Light felt his stomach tremble when the little raven moved to place a kiss on Light other cheek and accidentally grazed Light's lips in the process. He liked the child, and that was wrong. He was the older one, so he would control the situation, but first things first, he had to get this poor, kid out of the rain.
