Kenzi's POV:

It has been a while since my last dream, and I was both relieved and disappointed. I mean, I know the doctors had said those were just dreams, but coming from Russia, we have a lot of folklore there. When I moved to America, it stuck with me. Then I moved to Japan and met L and Light, and my Russian folklore has stayed with me through it all. There was one my other grandma -not my grandma back in America- had told me when I was a young girl, and my grand father passed away. She said if I see grand-dad in my dreams, it isn't a coincidence nor is it just a dream, it's a spirit induced dream. Spirit induced dreams can only happen with a spirit user -someone who can contact the other side- or a spirit -someone who is on the other side. I thought of this as I lay in bed that morning. It was 8 and I had no clue why I was awake. I guess I just missed L being in my dreams, because I thought maybe he was using spirit powers to talk to me. I hoped he was. I was still rambling to myself inside my head when I heard the floor boards by my door let out a long creak. I tensed up as I heard the foot stoops get closer and closer. I was ready to attack the intruder right when I heard him sneeze. Light. Light's sneezes were loud and obnoxious, and unique in a way, so I knew it was him. I pretended to sleep as I heard him get closer, and my body relaxed again. I was however wondering what he was doing in my room. Sprinkles would normally protect me, but Sprinkles wondered off again. He does that, he will wonder off for days, weeks even, and return as if nothing happened. Again, while I was in my own world, I was pulled out of it when I felt the wieght on my bed shift, as Light sat next to me. I continued pretending to be asleep, Light was quite easy to trick.

He sat down next to me, and let out a long sigh, followed by a small chuckle. He pet my head, and pushed hair out of my face, before kissing my cheek. I thought after all that he was going to walk away, but no he remained there for a while. He was just sitting at the edge of my bed, stroking my head as my Russian grandmother had done to me before I moved to America. It was nice, and I was getting quite content with it when Light suddenly stopped. I thought he had left, and was about to open my eyes and readjust when I felt him lay down. He was lying down next to me. Not on L's side, no one but Sprinkles touched that side. He squeezed in next to me on my side. When I say squeezed, believe me. His chest right against my back, his knees touching the backs of my legs, and our more intimate areas were a bit close as well. I squirmed a little, and luckily Light hadn't noticed. He snuggled impossibly closer, and put his arm around my waist. Again, I squirmed but I kind of had to force my squirm. Light being this close felt strangely good. When L died, I didn't want to be this close to anyone else again, but having Light this close now, I was starting to wonder if I really could stay true to that philosophy. Light buried his head in the crook of my neck, and smiled. I tensed up dramatically, my neck was a sensitive place. I told people it bothered me when they touched near my neck or just my neck in general because it felt gross, but really it was because it was sexually triggering. I would never admit it, but when Light had his mouth that close, I couldn't help but shivering with anticipation and that told him I was awake.

"Good Morning." He whispered to me, pulling away a little. No. I didn't want him to pull away. He was removing his arm from my waist, so I took the opportunity to grab it and wrap it back around me, telling him it was okay he was this close.

"Good Morning, Light-Senpai."

He scoffed, I forgot he didn't like me calling him Senpai, but he always liked calling me Senpai. I didn't think it was fair.

"Kenzi-Senpai, you are the only one in this house with that title."

"But that's-"

"Not fair, I know I know."

I laughed and turned around so that I faced him. We were still just as close, which was making me a little excited. I tried shaking my mind of these thoughts, but I couldn't. It was impossible.

"Light?"

"Yes, Kenzi-Senpai?"

"What are you doing in my bed anyway?"

"I don't know. I just thought maybe you'd like the company. You know you're bed as been empty lately, Sprinkles wondering off all the time, and him being gone."

I didn't need to ask if he was referring to Sprinkles when he said him. I knew he meant L.

"Besides," he continued "I hope you didn't mind. I mean you enjoyed laying next to me the last time."

It was true, I liked Light laying next to me, but it was usually at my command. Him doing it on his own was just a bit shocking. I blushed as I realized Light was staring at me whilst I was thinking.

"You're adorable when you're flustered. When you blush, your eyes glow again."

"M-My eyes glow?" I blushed harder and Light nodded.

"They are glowing brighter now. Why are you blushing so much?" He chuckled at me.

"I dunno. Because you are staring at me and we are so close..."

"Emotionally or Physically?"

He repeated my words to him that one day. I shook my head at him and said "Both."

Before I knew it, I fell back asleep in Light's arms. Though I had no dreams, it was the best sleep I had in a long time. I felt bad, knowing that if L saw us he wouldn't be all that happy about it -not angry, but no happy- but what if L was really gone? Light and I always kind of liked one another, and lately we were being a little more flirty than usual. Maybe Light is my second chance at happiness. Maybe I could learn to love again.
