(L P.O.V)

I finished up my paperwork and video on the cloud Light and I had created. Unfortunately there was no way to make it rain inside the warehouse, but we got the cloud to grow to a phenomenal size! I almost took up the entire warehouse at this point! Unfortunately though, we could no longer keep it. After all the video was collected and our research done, we opened the windows and doors and soon our cloud disappeared. It was quite sad actually. Seeing our hard work float away.

But I guess all good things must come to an end. Tragic.

As I was working on the video for our project, having moved to Light's place in order to finish, I noticed something was off about the brunette. He didn't seem as focused as he was before we started our project. He'd always go to ask me something, but then completely shrug it off. It was beginning to annoy me now and I was about ready to demand to know what he wanted to ask me so badly.

His mother let us work in the kitchen, having made us some celebratory sweets to commemorate a job well done, and when she left the room Light tried again to ask me… whatever it was he wanted to know.

"So… erm… Ryuzaki?"

I sighed. "Yes, Light?"

He hesitated a bit and was about to find an excuse to blow off the question until I stopped typing.

"Light, tell me what you want to know now, or I swear I'll sick your sister on you! I have the money to pay her off and you know it!"

He blinked at me before cowering a bit.

I turned to the living room. "Sayu!"

"Okay! Sheesh! I'll ask, I'll ask!"

I turned back to him. "You have been incredibly unfocussed, Light. It's not like you to act this way. Is there something going on?"

He cleared his throat a bit. "Well, I… err… I just wanted to… well I wanted to… and I…"

This was not like Light at all. He was always sure of himself, never stuttered or mumbled. What game was he playing at acting like this?

He took a breath. "What I wanted to ask you was…"

"SPRING BREAK!" Came a loud and obnoxious voice.

We turned to see Tamlen run into the house happily with Teri, Misa, Takada, and Mikami following behind him slowly.

The moment Teri entered the house she grabbed her brother by the ear and apologized for the disturbance.

Misa then ran up to Light and hugged his arm happily. "Light! We should totally go out during spring break! You know, go to a movie or something!"

"Fat chance, Amane." Takada sneered at her, then looked to Light luridly. "Light and I are going to the observatory. There's going to be a laser show and I got two tickets!"

"Ew, what a boring activity." Misa snubbed the idea.

"Oh? Being in a dark room, side by side, and ever so close to each other sounds boring to you? Well, good thing it's just me and Light then, hmm?"

Misa merely scoffed at her before looking away. Light just groaned a bit. Obviously he wanted no part of this.

"So what are we doing tonight, chief?" Tamlen asked after Teri let him go.

"Tonight?" Light questioned. "What do you mean?"

"You know, movie, video games, going out and hanging? We're going skydiving tomorrow, but after that granny says we got all week with you!"

Light groaned yet again. "I… I dunno. Maybe a movie?"

"Cool! I'm down for a movie!"

Everyone seemed to be in agreement with this… everyone but Teri. She hadn't said a word. She took one look at Light and knew something was up with him.

But she didn't call him on it quite yet.

"So," she began, "how's that cloud you guys were working on?"

I answered that for her. "We're done and putting the final touches on our project now. You'll see the results after spring break."

"Alright, good to hear it!" She said happily. "I mean, for two people who started out in a rocky start, you two sure seem pretty close. Right Light?"

It took a moment before he realized she'd said something. "Huh? Oh! Erm… yes. I suppose. We work really well together!"

"I see." She smiled out. "Well, if we're going to watch a movie, I suppose we should go out and get some munchies!"

Tamlen was in agreement with this. "To the store, all of us!"

And with that, they were all gone once again. Before she left though, Teri threw a small smile to Light. He didn't smile back until a second or so later.

We were alone once more, and he finally spoke to me in his regular, calm voice.

"So, do you want to go out and celebrate getting this project done before they come back?"

I looked at him with question. "But, aren't they just going to the store?"

"Believe me, they'll be an hour at minimum. We could watch the movie and it'd be over by the time they got back!" He smiled at me. "We could go back to the coffee shop. Maybe strike up another conversation about L. You could tell me how much you hate him." He joked.

I grinned at him. "If you don't mind, I'm done with talking about L. He's not exactly my favourite subject."

"Then… we could just go for a walk. See what there is to see. I don't think I ever took you on a tour around Japan yet."

I looked down at the amount of work I still had to finish for our project, but saved it all where it was right now.

"Sure. I'm done here anyway."

His smile widened and we got up from our seats. Before leaving we grabbed our coats while Light called to Sayu, "Hey, if Teri and the others come back and we're still out, tell them to just start the movie without us."

"Can I shove Tamlen in the closet with Mikami again?" She asked.

"Sure, I don't care." He replied before guiding me out the door.

I felt my heart flutter a bit in my chest at this. It wasn't a date, I knew that much. But no one said I could pretend it was a date. A walk through Japan? Just me and him? This was too perfect to be true. I didn't care whether it was a date or not. It was just the two of us.

What could be better?

I don't how long we'd been out now… but I didn't care!

We'd gone on a walk throughout Japan where Light travelled to most, but we ended up forgetting why we were out. It just turned into a walk with no real purpose. Sometimes we drifted off into silence, but it was a nice silence. Like we were enjoying each other's company kind of silence.

At some point we drifted off the trail of our walk and stumbled upon a small fair that was happening not far from the main city. Of course the cotton candy and other sweets drew me in almost immediately and we went to see what this place was about. This fair made me remember all the times Wammy took me to the ones when I was little. It was a great nostalgia trip for me, and it made my night even better than it already was. Light was right beside me, I was at a fair, and I had no work to think about. I had never been more free than I did at this exact moment.

During our stroll through the fair, something caught Light's attention and he immediately made his way to one of the games booth. Following him I trailed his eyes to what he was looking at. Among the top shelf was a bunch of giant stuffed animals, one of them being a panda bear.

When the man came up to Light, he asked, "How much?"

"Five dollars for three balls," he answered, then pointed to the stacked bottles, "Knock down all six bottles, you can pick whatever's on the top shelf."

Light chuckled. "Are you a betting man?"

The lanky man leaned forward on the table. "What'cha' got, kid?"

Light gestured to the three stacks of six bottles on the shelf. "I knock down all those bottles in one shot, I get everything in your inventory."

A few of the kids behind us 'oohed' at Light and a group started gathering around us.

The man laughed at Light. "Alright kid! You got yourself a bet! If you lose though, I get that handsome watch on your wrist."

Light looked at his watch before looking back up. "Deal."

The man gave him one ball and Light paid him his money. Light focussed his sight, made for the wind up, and threw the ball as hard as he could. It slammed right into one of the boards holding up the shelf, and all the stacked bottles came tumbling down! Light had actually done it! He knocked them down, in one shot, on the first try! The crowd had actually cheered for what he'd done it was so amazing.

The man was dumbfounded as he turned to the brunette.

Light was leaning on the table, smiling a cocky grin at him. "I believe you owe me everything in your inventory."

The man groaned. "Well… I suppose I do…"

"Tell you what," Light added, "give me the panda bear and the giant turtle next to it, and give the little kids here the rest of what's on your top shelf, and you can keep everything else."

The lanky man chuckled at him. "I guess I can do that."

He handed over the bear and turtle and we went on our merry way. I chuckled at all the little kids that lined up to get something from the top shelf, Light eyeing the man closely until all of his top shelf inventory was gone. When he was done, we left the fair.

He handed me the panda bear. "Here. Now you don't have to steal anymore panda cubs from the zoo."

I smiled happily and hugged the stuffed animal as tight as I could. It was a lot softer than a real panda, plus I couldn't get in trouble for this one!

I heard him snicker a bit and I looked up at him with question.

He simply smiled at me. "I don't think I've ever seen you this happy, Ryuzaki."

I looked away from him, still smiling. "Well… no one's ever won something for me before." I then looked at the turtle in his hands. "But what about the turtle?"

He chuckled. "Tamlen made me promise him that if there was ever a giant turtle stuffy, that I'd win or buy if for him."

I couldn't help but chuckle at this. "Might I ask why?"

He looked at me. "I have no idea, but I saw an opportunity and went for it. Too bad there weren't any penguins though."

I didn't even have to guess. "Matt and Mello?"

"Matt and Mello."

(Light P.O.V)

Tonight was better than perfect! Was that even possible? Because it was!

I didn't know what to expect when I asked Ryuzaki out, but it was better than any other date I'd been on! After the fair we went to park and just sat on a bench, talking about things that mattered to us. He even told me more about the Wammy house. How he met Wammy and got off the streets. It was nice to just hear him talk though. And his smile! He hadn't stopped smiling all night! He just kept on hugging his panda stuffy and smiling! Out of all of the great things to happen to me that night, his smile was one of the best things of all! There was nowhere else on earth that I wanted to be but here with him.

After the park we began to head back to my place to watch that movie with the others. Along the way I saw a line of paper swans hanging from the window of someone's room.

I sighed at this. "You know, I've lived in Japan my whole life and not once could I do a stupid origami swan."

Ryuzaki chuckled at this. "You're kidding me, right? That's grade one, Light! How could you not know?!"

I shrugged, chuckling back. "I'm sorry, but I just can't follow the steps!"

He sighed, grabbing my hand. "Come on."

We hurried to a diner nearby and upon entering it he let go of my hand, grabbing a few napkins. After this, he sat me down at a booth and showed me the steps. I followed as best as I could, but my swan did not look anything like his. His was clean and crisp while mine was crumpled and limp.

I chuckled again. "I told you."

He sighed once more. "You really are hopeless, aren't you?"

I playfully shoved him, making him giggle. "Let's just get back before the others leave. I want to get rid of this turtle as soon as I can."

He agreed and we made our way out, but not without paying for a drink for Ryuzaki to sip on. After I questioned him about the drink, he replied saying it was rude to just go in and not buy anything. I suppose he was correct. We were only in there for a few seconds anyway.

We made it to my house in no time and I could feel my heart beat rapidly in my chest. My night was over. Tomorrow would go back to being as miserable as before…

But… I didn't want it to go back.

Ryuzaki turned back to me, but his smile was gone. "I suppose they're gonna wonder where we went, hmm?"

I nodded. "I doubt they'll be too mad at us. Well… if Mikami was locked in the closet with Tam again…"

He smiled half-heartedly. He then dug into his pockets and brought out the swan he made. "Here. Take it and learn from it. It's a little sad to know you've never learned this art form, Light."

I took it happily and I felt my heart flutter even more. I didn't want this night to end… I didn't want this to end. What we had… what we could have… I didn't want to lose it.

He went to open the gate but I stopped him with a gentle hand. He was quite taken aback by this…

But more so for what I did next…

I took no time in leaning in and connecting my lips to his and he stilled. I had no idea what was going on in his head, but in mine I could just hear the explosion of fireworks fill me from the core. I had kissed a girl or two in my life… but none made me feel like this.

I backed away a bit when he wouldn't kiss back, and I paled. All he was doing was staring at me.

Dear lord had I made a mistake?

(L P.O.V)

I couldn't believe what had just happened. Light Yagami, the man of many fangirls just falling at his feet, had kissed me… had chosen me…

I was too stunned to speak.

He shook his head a bit. "Ryuzaki, I'm so sorry if I went too fast! I just… I… ever since…"

I didn't let him finish.

I dropped my bear and pulled him in for another kiss, too happy to care who saw us! Out of everyone at school, out of all the fangirls, and Misa, and Takada, he chose me! I was his choice! No one else! And no one could take that away from me!

After a moment or so, he kissed me back and we stayed lip locked for as long as we could. When we broke apart for air, we merely smiled at each other.

"So… you do like me." He stated.

I nodded, cuddling in closer to him. "And… you like me?"

He hugged me close. "More than you think."

I smiled at this. "So what do we do, then?"

I could tell this was a touchy subject for him because he didn't answer me right away.

He shrugged. "If you want, we could keep dating. But I can't let my dad know… not yet anyways. He might not take it too well."

"And your mom and sister?" I asked.

He didn't let go of me. "No one. Not yet anyway. I kind of only just found out about this myself, to be honest."

I nodded, backing away a bit to look him in the eye. "I understand. It's alright with me."

He kissed my cheek then and I smiled.

He grinned back at me. "God do I love your smile!"

I cuddled back into him and he once again hugged me close. "I'm sorry." He whispered. "I know it's not right to hide something like this, but…"

"I already told you, it's alright." I reassured. "Just as long as you mean it when you say you care about me."

"I do." He assured. "I always do. And I always will. I'll see you every day if I can! I'll text you every night until the hour I fall asleep! I don't know what we'll do about school, but we have all of spring break to figure it out! And I want to be beside you as much as I can."

I almost cried at these words. It was all I'd ever wanted to hear from someone and more.

"We'll figure it out." I assured, backing away from his embrace. "But we have some friends in your house who are wondering where we are and I suggest we get our story straight before we enter."

I picked up my panda bear and opened the gate while Light came up with our story.

"We went to the fair on a whim because we knew we had time to. I won the turtle, you won the panda."

"Pretty good, but we've been gone for about two and a half hours." I reminded.

He gave a quick moment of thought to this. "Before that we headed out to eat to celebrate the finishing of our project."

I looked back at him to judge the story. "Well, Misa might buy it."

He shrugged. "Maybe. And who's gonna argue with the pretty blonde girl?"

"Hmm, I suppose you're correct."

He stepped in front of me and opened the door, gesturing for me to enter first. "After you, M' lady."

I scoffed as I walked in first. "Says the man with too much hair product."

"Don't lie, you love it."

"Keep dreaming, Yagami."

When we entered the house as friends we saw the rest of our group sitting about in the living room watching an old slasher flick. They noticed us enter right away and immediately asked us where we went. Light told them our story then threw the turtle stuffy to Tamlen.

Needless to say… he was quite happy.

"WHAT! I GOT A GIANT TURTLE, BITCHES!" He exclaimed loudly, dancing around circles with his turtle stuffy.

Teri pinched her brow. "Thanks, Light! As if I didn't have enough problems with my brain-dead-brother!"

Light only chuckled at her. "You're welcome!"
