...And I've been on a Disney classic songs marathon. It's been 3 days. Send help.

"Sayu, tell me something from a woman's standpoint," Light said one day. Sayu was making cookies, puttering about in the kitchen and Light was taking a break from his schoolwork for a moment. He had wandered out to see what his sister was doing upon hearing the sounds of dishes rattling in the kitchen. And, seeing that L was snoozing peacefully on the couch, Light was taking the momentary peace to pose a question to his sister without any of L's interference.
...Momentarily, because as soon as the incubus smelt the cookies baking, he would be in the kitchen, crouching on a chair and waiting eagerly for the gooey, warm treats to be done.
And this was something he had asked Light before. But, he wanted to do it without L interfering. And, if all else failed, he could say that L had put him up to this. Because he had, in a way. It's not like Light knew the answer. And since Sayu was oh-so-conventionality staying at their home, Light knew that the only way he would be able to answer L's question would be to ask his little sister.
...L's manipulativeness was going to drive him up the wall one day.
Pausing momentarily, Sayu paused in dumping the chocolate chips into the dough to look at her older brother and say, "What, Light?"
Brows furrowing, Light deliberated a moment before asking, "Why is it that women will never be the ones to propose?"
Sayu blinked once, obviously very surprised, and then the corners of her lips twitched in mirth and she asked, smirking, "…Did L put you up to this?"
...Sayu was infuriatingly observant sometimes. Kinda like L.
...Thinking on it now, they were creepily alike. Both of them were hell-spawn, Light was sure. Very sure.
"...Yes," Light finally answered.
Nodding, Sayu's smirk only grew wider as she set aside her bowl of dough and meandered over to Light, bending down to prop her elbow on the table, cradling her chin in her hand. She hummed in thought for a few moments before she opened her mouth and candidly said, "Well, tell him that the reason women will never be the ones to propose is because as soon as she gets on her knees, he'll start unzipping."
"…Sayu…" Light said exasperatedly, putting a hand to his forehead. He had wanted a serious answer, not this!
Quirking a brow in a distinctively Light-like manner, Sayu earnestly and almost offendedly said, "Men will be men, Light. Don't deny it," she said as Light opened his mouth to disagree. With a smirk, she continued, "If L got down on his knees, you'd probably do the same thing."
Mouth still open, Light paused in deliberation, before blinking and snapping it shut.
Clever little-
"…Point taken."
