Death Note Fan Fiction ❯ Getting Close ❯ Home ( Chapter 2 )

M: For those who are very obsessed with Death Note, I apologize about the 'ck' in Ryuk.

I'm very sorry.

R: No you're not.

M: SHUT UP SHINIGAMI! DIE!

Follows him around with very pointy objects

L: Stalker, do the disclaimer.

Eye twitches

M: I'm not a stalker! I'm just mad and just for that, you're next!

Launches, hits wall, falls unconscious

R: Hyuk, Hyuk

L: I knew we shouldn't have done this. Turns to, well, people She owns absolutely nothing.

 

"Why is it always so cold." Suki mumbled.

She slowly sat up, it was dark in the room. She sighed softly. Once again, she was in Light's room, but this time she was in a sleeping bag on the floor because she had no clue as to how long she'd stay and she didn't exactly want to keep Light on either the floor or coach; after all, this was his room...

...But it sure was cold.

Suki leaned towards the bed and biting on her lip indecisively, she slowly stood and walked over to the bed. Leaning over the foot of the mattress, she looked at Light. From what she could tell, he was asleep. Absently gnawing on her lip for a second, she carefully climbed onto the bed and slid under the covers. Looking at Light for but a moment, she turned onto her side to face the wall and closed her eyes as she curled into the warmth around her and finally fell asleep.

Light slowly awoke. Realizing how comfortable he was, he didn't open his eyes.

He felt so...peaceful, so...content.

Noticing that there was something in his arms, he tightened his grip and that something moved.

Opening his eyes, he saw long curly hair and that was when he realized some of the soft fibers were under his head. Light moved his hands and he could fell silky cloth beneath his fingertips; however, beneath that was something solid. So he squeezed this solid object and felt that it was firm and...soft.

Suki groaned and shifted against her 'pillow' for more warmth. Only now realizing just how...fleshy her 'pillow' was.

Looking down, Light quickly took heed of what he had just grabbed and released it.

It had turned out to be one of Suki's small buns.

As for Suki, her eyes snapped open a bit too quickly after feeling such a strange sensation coming from her rear and she had to blink a couple of times before her vision cleared.

She found herself facing a muscled, but surely naked chest.

Suki's eyes widened as sudden realization crashed upon her barely awakened mind. Within an instant she was on the other side of the bed, directly in front of the wall.

Light was giving her a very strange look as he carefully sat up.

There was an awkward silence between the two, as the moment dragged on Suki found herself starring at something beside Light (Ryuk?)

"Uhh..." Suki was trying desperately to find both her voice and an excuse, "I..I'm...sorry. I didn't mean to...i-it's just, I...I was cold and didn't know...what else to do." She truthfully finished in a mutter.

Heaving a sigh, Light pushed the covers off himself and standing, he took hold of his school uniform.

Glancing back at her he asked, "If you were so cold, why didn't you say anything last night?"

Suki looked down at her hands and her body started trembling.

Light closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. "I was only asking a simple question. There's no reason to get upset." He told her while leaving the room.

"This is really entertaining!" The Shinigami exclaimed while Light splashed water onto his face to help him return to his senses.

"What is?" He asked as he turned off the faucet to the sink in the bathroom.

"Hyuk, hyuk. That girl sure is interesting, isn't she?"

Glaring at him, Light questioned."Can she or can't she see you?"

Grinning back, the Shinigami replied. "I don't know for sure, it's hard to tell."

Light snorted and mumbled, "I get the feeling you're not going to tell me."

The Shinigami grinned happily at the irritated teenaged human.

After school, when Light entered his room, he found Suki asleep on his bed with pencil and paper in her hands, a text book lay open at the bottom of the mattress with Suki's head only a couple inches from the book's corner. Her hair was sprawled in every direction and she curled like a cat.

He sat his bag by the door and went over to her after shutting his door. Carefully taking the paper from her hand, he looked at it then back to the text book. She had been working the algebra problems and to his utter amazement the answers she had were all correct. He looked back down at her as she started to stir.

Rubbing her eyes with the backs of her own fingers, she groggily saw Light looking at her and then she saw the paper in his hand.

"Suki." He said.

"Uh...yes?" She answered, still groggy.

"All these answers are correct." He stated matter-of-factly.

She blinked at him.

"Do you need your eyes checked?" She questioned while giving him a very doubtful look.

With a sigh, he took the pencil from her hand and started to write another, more complicated equation. When he finished, he handed her the paper and pencil. She uncertainly grabbed the thin sheet from him and took the pencil to work the problem. A moment later, she was done and Light once again told her that she had answered right.

"Are you sure?" Suki was still in doubt.

"Why would I lie?" He cooly replied.

"So...then," She started a bit slowly."it wasn't just a waste of time?"

"Obviously not." He agreed while looking back at the paper.

"What now?" She asked.

He moved his gaze to her and answered."English."

Her eyes widened. "English? As in the English Language?"

"Yes."

She groaned and mumbled. "I'm doomed."

Light raised an eyebrow and grabbed the algebra text book. Suki watched with absolute dread as he put the first book away and took hold of a different one.

"Before we actually start, do you know any English at all?" He questioned after seating himself in his computer chair.

"Some." She muttered with downcast eyes.

"Like what?"

Suki was gazing at a line on the wood of the floor and mumbled something.

"Suki." His tone was a commanding one.

She looked back up at him.

"Do I really have to?" She questioned in a desperate and quiet manner.

"Yes."

She bit on her lip and redirected her gaze again. Suki suddenly had a raised eyebrow and was biting harder on her lip as though trying not to laugh.

Light's eyes narrowed and he glanced at Ryuk, and ended up starring at him.

The Shinigami seemed unaware of the attention he was getting; therefore, he continued what he had been doing, which was that he was making faces. Very comical and insulting faces. Probably either to do with the fact that he hadn't had an apple fo the last couple of days or he was extremely bored. Either way it was a comical sight and, in a way...scarring.

Light hurriedly cleared his throat and closed his eyes. When he opened them again he saw that Suki was watching him.

"Light?"

"What?"

She inhaled deeply."D-do you have a..."

"Light!" Sayu suddenly came bursting through the door and looked around. "I'm sorry, was I interrupting?" She asked.

"No." Suki answered quickly, a bit too quickly.

"Good! Light, I need help with my homework!"

Said teen just closed his eyes. "Why don't you knock next time."

"Well, excuse me." Sayu muttered sarcastically.

Suki silently left the room and made her way downstairs, knowing that Soichiro wouldn't be home tonight and that Sachiko was preparing dinner.

Suki suddenly halted in her steps.

'Home? ' She thought to herself.'Home.'

 

M: So? What dya think?

L: Boring

M: BORING?

S: Um, I...thought it was... interesting.

Sparkling eyes and cutsey smile

M: YOU DID?

Suki wordlessly nods while Light just stares

L: There she goes

R: Hyuk, hyuk. Strange one isn't she?

M: I heard that!

L: Why should you care? You have no morals.

M: Shut up.
