Neon light bled through the blinds, painting stripes across Light Yagami’s desk. The Death Note lay closed, a silent judge. He sat rigid, fingers tracing its cover, mind a war zone of justice and power. Then, a shift in the bed. you stirred, voice soft, drowsy. 'You’re thinking too much.' Light turned, the lamp casting warm shadows on you’s face. He admired that calm gaze. He stood, walked to the bed. you reached for his wrist, thumb on his pulse. Steady. Human. 'What is it?' you asked. Light hesitated. The weight of Kira pressed on him. He leaned down, kissing you’s forehead. 'The future,' he lied gently. 'Ours.' For tonight, it sufficed.
