A/N: Will try to get two more chapters done for today, but we're close to the end for this story... I think... we'll see how this goes.

Anyway, enjoy!

(L P.O.V)

"Didn't your mom say not under her roof?" I asked, sitting up a bit to look at Light.

He snickered. "Not while she's under said roof."

I hummed. "Finding a loophole wherever you can. How utterly daring of you, considering this is also your father's house."

He sat up with me, hugging my torso. "Like you care."

I couldn't help but smile at this. "I suppose you're correct. There is a certain… excitement to all this. Knowing your dad could catch us at any given moment."

The brunette chuckled, falling back onto the pillows and taking me with him.

I had to admit, these past few weeks have been nothing more than a dream to me. Who knew Light had a high libido, not that I was complaining. Maybe it just had to do with being told what to do his entire life, and having a freedom like this was stimulating something inside of him that he hadn't thought of before. It didn't surprise me though. One of the natural human desires is the desire to feel free, and Light was not fulfilling this desire by listening to his father all the time.

And again, I wasn't complaining about it either.

I happened to enjoy all the extra time I had with him. Especially since he liked to experiment more times than he'd like to admit. There wasn't anything overly intense, but he didn't mind being the bottom for me. In this I was surprised. Yes, there was once or twice where he topped, but almost ninety percent of the time I was the top. And, again, I wasn't complaining, but I would've thought he'd fight for the chance to be on top. I chalked this up to being another freedom rush for him, so if he really didn't mind… why shouldn't I enjoy it?!

The school days had been tough for the both of us considering we couldn't even touch each other until we were out of eyesight. It was even worse knowing a school dance was coming up soon and almost every girl was asking Light to go with them. It took him quite a bit of time to reassure me that he didn't care for any of the females at the school, and that I was his one and only. Thinking about it now, I'm too sure Light wanted me more than any of the females. How would I know? I've been with my share of females, and they were not as fun as initially thought. On the rare occasion would I come across one that was fun to be around, but I didn't prefer them in the intercourse department.

But I had my own reasons for this.

I cuddled into his chest happily. "You do realize we still have one more day of school tomorrow, and it's the dance. Which means…"

"Don't say it." He growled. "I'm stressed enough as it is, I don't need to be reminded of the fact that more than enough women are going to be after me tomorrow to go to the dance with them."

I kissed his cheek. "My poor Light-kun."

He sighed heavily. "You are the only thing that is sane in my life right now, I swear it."

I hummed, sitting up in bed once again to look at him. "It's not that bad, Light. Tomorrow's a Friday, which means we have all weekend to ourselves."

"Not if my dad takes us to our grandmother's on Saturday. I swear, the woman is as hard-headed as my father. Not to mention she's a bigger homophobe than he ever will be. If I even mention the word 'gay' she'd go on a tirade."

I cocked an eyebrow at this. "I thought you said once that your grandmother couldn't care less about gays?"

"No, that's granny. She's my mom's mom, and she doesn't care about gays or bisexuals or anyone. Hell, she thought I was gay for three years of my life."

I tried my hardest to hide my smile. "Light, I'd like you to take a long look at the position you're in at the moment and tell me you aren't gay."

He leaned up a bit to capture my lips for a split second. "You know what I meant."

He slipped out from under the covers to change back into his pants. I was quite saddened by this, to be honest. Light had a very nice body for someone his age. Most men when they were eighteen were still growing and becoming something of themselves. But Light was… well… perfection!

I exhaled a bit. "Could you at least leave your shirt off? I like to ogle at you for a bit before being pushed out your door in a hurry."

He climbed back into bed to lay a few kisses on my neck. "I'm not going to push you out the door. In fact, my dad's working all night tonight so you're free to stay here if you wish."

I almost considered this until I thought about Sayu. "No thank you, Light. Knowing your sister, she's never let this slide. Besides, like I said, I'm an insomniac. I'd get bored hanging out around here all night with nothing to do. My home is perfectly set up so that I may do as I wish throughout the night. I hope you don't mind."

He honestly seemed rather upset by this, even pouting a bit. "Fine, I suppose you're right."

He got up from the bed and handed me my shirt and jeans. "I suggest getting dressed right now, anyway. Sayu will be home soon and I know for a fact she's going to check my room first for you."

"Aw, she likes me!" I said happily, smiling a huge, fake, smile towards Light.

He rolled his eyes, grinning. "Just get dressed."

I did so quickly before hopping off the bed and following Light downstairs. He was about to walk me out the door when a knock came right as he put a hand on the doorknob. Before he could answer it though, Misa came bursting through and tackled him to the floor in pure delight. I had to admit, I did not see the rest of my day ending up this way.

Takada then entered the house, Teri, Tamlen, and Mikami being right behind her.

"Enough, Amane." She demanded. "We came here for a reason, remember?!"

She looked up at her questionably. "Huh? Oh! Right!" She realized as she got off of him. "Light, you need to tell us who you're taking to the dance, right now!"

Light continued to lay on the floor as he looked up at me. "What just happened?"

I shrugged half-heartedly. "I think Amane wants you to take her to the dance. That or she's insane… or both."

"We tried to stop them," Teri insisted, "but they came here anyway."

Light slowly sat up, looking more pained than he did before. "Misa… and Takada." He strained out as he tried to stand. "I'm not taking either of you to the dance tomorrow. I hate those things anyway. Just find someone else."

"But why?!" Misa whined, making me shudder.

I wasn't a fan of squeaky voices.

"Yes, Light." Takada began. "Why? You always say no to us and you don't give us a reason why. If it's because you don't want to hurt our feelings, don't worry about it. Misa can handle being let down for once in her life."

Tamlen started oohing at the comment. "Oh, it is on!" He exclaimed.

"Indeed." I commented. "How will you get out of this one, Light?"

Before he could answer, Misa shot back at Takada.

"And why would you think he'd choose someone as bland and boring as you, when he could date a model like me!? Really, Kiyomi, it's called makeup. I suggest you look it up."

"OHH!" Tamlen called. "And Amane retaliates with a low blow to the self-esteem!"

"What will Takada do to take Amane down now?" I added, playing along with the rather amusing set of circumstances.

"Would you two…!" Light tried, but Takada interrupted him.

"And why would he want a ditzy airhead who says her name twice to sound cute, when in reality it makes you sound more idiotic than you already are? Honestly, Misa, no wonder Light hides from us. Whenever he's around you he probably loses brain cells by the minute!"

"OOOOHH, BURN!" Tamlen exclaimed, laughing happily at all this.

Even I was smiling at this. "Shots fired!"

For about a few more minutes the girls threw insults at each other, making all of blush and laugh at the same time. I'd never met two girls with more hatred for each other than this, and I was loving it! If only they knew Light didn't care at all about the two of them.

But why spoil the fun?

Light finally had it. "ENOUGH!"

The house quieted and both Tamlen and I were awaiting his choice. To be honest, I honestly thought he was going to choose between the two just to shut them up…

Until…

"I'm not going with either of you! I have a boyfriend!"

The two women were shocked to say the least, but I was speechless. Did Light seriously just come out and tell them he was gay? This was too much!

He finally calmed down. "Ryuzaki and I have been together for over a month now. I didn't tell you because I wasn't ready to come out quite yet. The only people who know are my mom, sister, Teri and Tamlen, and Mikami. I thought if I told you two, you'd flip out or tell the entire school about us. But, to tell you the truth, I don't CARE anymore if you tell people! If it'll get all those women off my case and leave me alone, go ahead and tell them! Besides… I'm happy with him. More than I'd ever be with one of those girls from school."

There was a silence following his explanation, but it didn't last too long before Misa squealed happily before hugging me and congratulating me on my relationship with Light. Takada was still completely stunned though.

Misa giggled. "I'm so happy for you two! You should totally come to the dance tomorrow as a couple! I mean, I'm still gonna tell everyone at school tomorrow, so it won't be much of a shock, but I'd love to see you two together!"

"But Light," Takada finally spoke up, "you don't honestly mean…"

"Yes, Takada, I do. Look, I don't know why I like him so much, and maybe I never will know. But I do… I love him with all my heart."

"But…"

"I'm sorry."

Takada looked more than a little heartbroken by this, but still forced out a smile anyway. "I understand. I'll leave you two alone."

"Please don't." I wheezed out, Amane still on my neck. "You're the only one that can tame the blonde beast around my throat, and I'd appreciate it if you got her off of me right now."

The tall dark haired woman giggled a bit before unhooking Misa's hands off of me and letting me breathe again.

"Thank you," I said happily.

Misa was now bouncing in her place. "Please, Light, will you and Ryuzaki come to the dance tomorrow!? It'll be nice seeing you two as a couple! Plus, you two can dance together again!"

I could see the look of despair and annoyance in Light's eyes, so I did what any good partner would do…

"Yes, Miss Amane. We will go!" I announced happily.

Light was in shock. "You're kidding me!"

I smiled cheekily, walking towards the door. "Well, you did say that you didn't care who knows anymore, right? So why not enjoy the freedom we have together?"

I gave him a peck on the cheek, making Misa squeal a bit, and I walked out the door. "And try to wear something nice tomorrow evening, Light."

(Light P.O.V)

My eye twitched. "That British bastard."

Teri chuckled happily. "Poor Light. Now he has to suffer through a school dance. With a twist! Now he's got a boyfriend to go with him."

Misa sealed again. "Light! This is so awesome! If you need any help on what to wear, I'm right here to help!"

"A lovely speech, though." Teri continued. "But just one problem. What about your dad?"

I looked at her, closing the door. "What about him?"

She cocked an eyebrow at me. "Shouldn't he know about this, too? He is your dad."

I shook my head. "No, he wouldn't understand. After that job offer with L, he didn't talk to me for a week straight. How will he act if he knew I had a boyfriend?!"

"But Light," she said calmly, "Ryuzaki is from England, born and raised. Do you really think he's going to stay in Japan the rest of his life with you? Never seeing his home again?"

"What are you getting at?" I asked, not really following.

She crossed her arms. "You have two weeks until graduation, Light. After that, who knows what's going to happen between you two. For all you know, he might move back to England to be with his brothers again."

"He could move them here," I reasoned, "it's not like he doesn't have the funding for it…"

"But it isn't the same." She countered. "Ryuzaki travels everywhere, he even told us himself. So of course he's going to miss home. You think he's going to give it all up to stay in Japan?"

"He could." I tried. "I know he could…"

"So then what will you do? Lie to your dad the rest of your life? Get a fake wife and kids while seeing him on the side? How unfair is that to Ryuzaki? No, you need to tell your dad in case worse comes to worse. If Ryuzaki stays, then that's great for you. But if he goes, what's going to be your choices? A long distance relationship? That's still unfair to him and you. So you go with him? Great, but how do you explain it to your father?"

She was right. There was no way out of this with him. I loved Ryuzaki, and I wanted us to spend a long time together. But I can't do that keeping him hidden from the people I care about.

I sighed heavily. "Give me one week to tell my dad. Even if he hates me afterwards, you're right to tell me to do this. I can't keep lying to him and expecting things to be alright in the future. Besides… I really don't know if Ryuzaki plans on staying or not. He's never said anything about it to me."

"Then be prepared for that." She warned me.

"But…" Misa started happily. "Until then, let's get you ready for tomorrow!"

And with that, she grabbed my hand and dragged me to my room in order to pick out my clothes for the dance. I was still a little miffed at Ryuzaki for doing this to me, but who knows…

Maybe it could be fun.
