Star-Crossed Lovers
"True is it that we have seen better days".
-Shakespeare ( As You Like It) (Act II, Scene VII).
The little raven lay unconscious and soaking wet atop Light's bed-sheets. The teen was laying beside him and watching the boy anxiously. The youth's mind was frantic with worry. After all, the poor child had nearly drowned. That was frightening enough just for the teen to have witnessed. What made the matter worse was that after Light had saved him the little raven passed out. Now, here the teen was in this big empty mansion. His mother and father had gone out early too have some 'them' time and Sayu had went out with some friends. As a last resort Light had called for the maid, but to his terror she had not responded.
As Light's amber eyes settled on the calm, pale face of the slumbering one beside him, his heart ached. It was their last night together and this awful occurrence had transpired. As he thought about leaving and his life swerving back into his usual routine, he felt something akin to sorrow. This was the first time he had looked at the bi-annual summer vacations his family took as something other than an unnecessary trouble.
He had always been the one who dreaded these trips and now he was the one feeling the most reluctance to go back. He silently laughed at the irony. Nevertheless, be the circumstances ironic or not he knew he couldn't stay here, with his precious little raven. He had a dream. He had aspirations and goals plainly set for the path of achievement. In Japan, he had opportunities before him that he had spent his whole life studying for. He could use his father's name anywhere in Asia or Europe and get what he wanted, but the only place he had actually earned anything was Japan. He would never give that up, not even for this child. He felt certain that as the boy got older he would yearn for women and never once think twice about his former male crush. No, this child was still young and most likely prone to whims and other fleeting fancies. Sure, when Light left it would hurt the boy, but children's feelings are often fickle because they aren't mature or experienced enough for serious relationships. Lights eyes turned sadly to the little raven and he feigned a weak smile.
" Someday, you'll forget all about me, Ryuu." He whispered to the sleeper.
" Li…iigh…." the child mumbled in his sleep.
" Soon, that name will mean nothing to you." he said as he brushed a few straying locks out of the boy's face.
" …love…you…"
Light paused to analyze the slumbering child's face carefully. He was still sleeping deeply, but a small trace of a smile had formed on the boy's face.
" No…no, you don't." he answered as he traced the slight upward curve on the sleeper' soft lips. Then the teen turned his back to the child and went to sleep as well.
When the teen woke up it was because he had sensed some sudden movement around himself. He jolted awake and found himself looking up into a pair of large obsidian eyes.
" Ryuu?!" Light exclaimed.
" Yes, Light-kun?" the boy questioned as he leaned forward to place a chaste kiss onto the older male's lips, but in his process of movement he shifted his hips and awoke another part of the teen from its slumber.
" What are you doing?" he asked.
" Waking you up." the little raven answered as he leaned forward to seal another kiss and once again his hips moved.
" That's not all your waking up." the teen purred.
The boy looked down and blushed as he noticed the blatant bulge inside the teen's pants that was pressing against his thigh. The curious boy reached down to touch it, but before he could his had was swatted away by the teen.
" Now, what are you doing!?" he hissed.
" Trying to touch my boyfriend." the child answered as he held his assaulted hand with the un-assaulted one. The teen blushed as he heard the term 'boyfriend' in reference to himself.
" Ryuu, come here." Light said as he opened his arms up for the boy. The child took his cue and laid down on the youth's torso. The child relaxed as Light's arms enveloped him and held him close in a warm embrace.
" Light-kun, I read the end while you slept." The boy stated despondently.
" What?!" the teen asked confused.
"The end of Romeo & Juliet." he stated.
" What about it?" Light asked.
" They both die."
