After the little hangout at my house, me and Light become closer. He had become less mean and even kind. We got into this habit of sitting with each other at lunch and lingering over the ending time of our tutor sessions. My math grade had even made it's way up to a C! I had never been happy. I also finally admitted to myself after a month that I had a crush on Light. I sometimes thought he had one on me too but I couldn't tell. He was really good and hiding his feelings.

One day after school, Light asked me to come over to study at his house. He said he was getting bored of the school library. At his house I met his sister and parents. I learned that his father was a police officer working on the Kira case. I did my best to not say anything.

Light led me to his room where we began our tutor session. However, I could tell there was something distracting him. He had a look of distress on his face as if he was debating something inside his head. His brown eyes kept wobbling back and forth between me and the book.

He shut my book abruptly.

"(F/N), you're a supporter of Kira, right?" I stare at him in shock that he came out with that. I tried to keep it a secret that I supported Kira due to the fact a lot of people in school were against him.

"Uh.. yes, I am... are you, going to-"

"Wait. What would you do if you had the chance to meet Kira?"

"Um... I don't know, really. I guess, thank him? Where are you going-"

"Would you want to help him?" At this point I was sure he was trying to set me up or he was going to tell me I was disgusting because his father was working to stop Kira, and surely, Light must be against Kira too.

"Why are you asking me this?" I finally ask. He pulls me off of the bed and takes my hands in his. He stares into my eyes so intensely, I don't know what to think of it.

"I'm gonna tell you something. But you have to promise me you won't tell a soul, I f***ing mean it, (F/N), you can't tell anyone." His grip tightened on my hands and I nod slowly. He took a deep breath. "I'm Kira."

I stay silent for a few second before I break out laughing. But I see the seriousness in his face and I stop. "Are you serious?" He nods. "Prove it."

He brings me to a desk where he pulls out a slim black book with the words Death Note written on it. "In here is where I right all the names of the people I decide are no longer worthy of life." He opened it up to where every victim's name was written, some with long descriptions after it. "I wouldn't think this would be enough proof for you, so touch it."

"What."

"Touch it!" I jump and quickly touch the book. In that moment he spins me around to where I am face to face with a shinigami! "This is Ryuk. A shinigami, he gave me the book." I'm about to scream but then I stop myself. Instead I pace around the room. Oh my god he really is, my friend, the guy I have a crush on is... Kira!

"Oh my god, it's really you! You're K-"

"Shhh!" Light laughs as he comes towards me putting his hand over my mouth. "Don't blow my cover," he says still laughing slightly. I quickly grab him and pull him into an embrace.

"... Thank you," I say softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

"No. Thank you," I hear him say. He gently takes my face in his hands, a look of want hidden in his eyes. "I will rid this world of evil, I will make it a better place for everyone.. For you. You have only made me more determined to make this place safer, happier, lighter, for lack of better word! I will be a god of this world. Will you, (F/N), be my goddess."

On the inside I'm screaming with excitement, but outside I keep my calm composure as I nod and tell him, "Yes."

Apparently Ryuzaki is actually Lawliet. How I know that you may wonder? Well, long story short, Lawliet helped me to get a job. I told him that it was my responsibility but he said he had the 'perfect idea' for a job. He had brought me into the police force and set me up with a job sorting files for the Kira case. And yes, I discovered he was the infamous L. He kept telling me I couldn't tell anyone and that no one else really knew he was L which made me wonder on why he told me. He has only know me for a few months and yet he has told me he is L?

I was sitting sorting files when I see in the corner of my eye Lawliet come in.... Then walk out... then come in... then walk out... then come in. He looked nervous, which obviously made me nervous so I stopped what I was doing and put a hand on his shoulders. He jumped but smiled, an awkward but cute smile.

"Are you ok, Lawliet?"

"Oh, yes, of course I am. I am 70% that Light is Kira and Misa is his accomplices." I laugh a bit as I hear him saying that.

"See? I knew you would figure it out. And this might seem silly but I think I know how he's doing it."

"Really, how?"

I bring him over to my desk where I show him a book on Shinigami's. "Now, bare with me. I was looking at some books in the library where I found this one on Shinigami's. I never would have been particularly interested, but, something caught my eye." I opened it up to a page discussing Death Notes. "Shinigami's are the god of death. They posses this thing that is called a Death Note and whenever you write a person's name with in, within 40 seconds the person will die of a heart attack. Just like all of Kira's victims. And, within 6 minutes, If I understand, you can write a different cause of death which leads me to think that Kira actually has the ability to kill in other ways other than a death note!"

Lawliet stares at me with a blank look. I'm sure I just confused the hell out of him, but then he laughs and smiles at me.

"That's actually... not a bad theory. Better than some of the others I have heard. But um, that wasn't actually why I came in here..."

"Oh?" I smile at him gently.

"I... nevermind. Good work today, (F/N), I'll see you some other time." I watch as he walks out the door but there is no way that I am gonna let him get away. I quickly rush out into the hallway and grab his arm. He looks shocked and slightly alarmed.

"Please tell me."

He just stares at me with those big eyes. "I like you."

"Really?" I ask softly.

"Yeah."

I smile at him before pulling him into a tight embrace. Unlike the first time we hugged, he wraps his arms around me instantly. "I like you too."

"So... can you be my girlfriend?" he asked hesitantly. I laugh and kiss his cheek.

"Of course!

Me and Mello have been texting and hanging out for the past few months constantly. We had both grown a liking to each other. Well, I had more than just a simple liking, I was nearly in love with him. He was the first guy to ever treat me as a human, not to mention he saved me from nearly being raped by a drunk. He taught me some self defense. I learned how he was working on the Kira case and trying to be a successor of L. He had even helped me get over my fear of the dark.

I was utterly in love.

It's about 4 when I hear my phone buzz; a text from Mello! He asks me to meet him at the park. Happily I put on a simple outfit and made my way to the park to wait for Mello. I was sitting on a bench alone when two men approached me. They were both very muscular and quite intimidating.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"Yes, you can, (F/N)."

Before I can contemplate that these two strangers knew my name, I was yanked off the bench and being dragged away, but using the self defense Mello taught me, I quickly kick one guy in the nuts, and the other in the shin.

The one who was holding my arm yells as I quickly sprint the other way across the field. The other one, who was smaller and to may dismay extremely fast, quickly caught up to me and threw me to the ground. I quickly kicked him in the gut and jumped up but the other one was there and grabbed me by the hair. He punched me in the face and I began to scream as I felt blood trickle from my nose. Before he can punch me again, I quickly pull at his leg tripping him and jumping back up again. The shorter one was on my tail but there was a sudden gunshot.

I scream as I fall to the ground covering my head -- I don't know what I was trying to succeed in doing that -- and I try to block out the noise.

The gun shots finally stop and I turn around to see Mello above me, a concerned look on his face. He quickly leans down and hugs me tightly.

"Oh, god, are you ok?!" He asked frantically gripping my shoulders. I wince a little and he lets get.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Who were they?" He shakes his head pulling me up from the ground.

"Some people you won't need to worry about."

"Really? Because they seemed pretty intent-"

"Trust me. You won't need to worry about them..." He quickly takes my hand in his, tightly, and for a solid twenty minutes, he doesn't let go.

"Why are you holding my hand?" I ask him after awhile.

"Isn't that what couples do?"

"Wait, what?"

"Couples. I have decided to give myself the title as your boyfriend so I can keep you safe. I hope you won't attest to this." I just stare at him stunned before laughing and kissing his cheek.

"Hmm. And I wouldn't mind the title as your girlfriend either."

A large yawn escapes me as I wake up from my slumber. And it is such a shame, I was having a wonderful dream. Alas, good dreams don't ever last. I stretch out my arms just as I hear my phone go off.

Meet me at gamestop - Matt.

I smile to myself. Quickly I put on my clothing, brush my teeth and hair, and kiss my mom goodbye.

"Where are you off to now?" My mother asks.

"To see Matt." I respond. She smiles smugly and quirks a brow at me. "What?"

"You've been seeing Matt quit a lot lately," she commented. I roll my eyes at her giving her cheek a final peck and I head out the door. I take a bus, my legs bouncing up and down excitedly. These few weeks I've been friends with Matt have been great! Me and him had so much in common between our addiction to video games and horror. I'll suck up my pride and admit, I have a crush on him. I've never felt this way before. Well, that's an understatement, I have felt this way before. I just never thought I had a chance with any previous crush. With Matt, I felt there was a real chance me and him could be something.

When I get off the bus and pay the driver I practically sprint to the gamestop. I bang into a few people on the way; any other day I would have apologized but there was no time for that! I walk into the store but I see no one there. I go to the front desk and see Lenny with a pissed off look. However, he gives a grim smile and points down an aisle.

I walk down and I suddenly break into a fit of laughter. There in the middle of the aisle was Matt dressed as Link from The Legends of Zelda. I can hardly contain my laughter.

"What are you wearing?" I laugh. He smiles at me as he pulls me up from the ground since I had fallen while I was laughing at him.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" My eyes widen and I stop laughing. Did he just ask me out? He looks nearly heartbroken, expecting the worse by the shocked look on my face but I quickly push his worries away.

"Took you long enough," I tease. "Of course I will, but what's with the outfit?"

"I wanted to make sure you'd always remember this day."

I went to Whammy's house, the place Near was living out to hang out with him. He had sent me a frantic text on how he got new finger paints that he wanted to use. He said he had some time before he had to do work, whatever it may be, and he wanted me to come and paint.

I happily told him I would be there in twenty minutes, so I put on an old t-shirt and some jeans, my (H/C) into a ponytail and rushed over. When I arrived, I was greeted by Near who was already in a smock. He looked so adorable with his hair a mess and the smock way too big on him. He lead me into a room in which he had already set up two canvases and separated the different colours.

"Let the fun begin!" I say enthusiastically.

We begin to paint. I decide to paint something simple; a flower. I wanted it to have many different colours though. As I played around with the colours, I keep noticing Near looking up at my with a nervous expression.

"Are you alright?" I finally ask him.

"Yes," he says simply, so I return to my painting. But he keeps looking at me as if he is debating something in his head. Something being me.

"What are you painting?" I ask him.

"It's a surprise," he says simply. I shrug and continue my painting. When I am finally done, I lift it up and turn it towards him.

"Ta da!" He smiles brightly.

"It's beautiful, (F/N)." I then see the purple and blue paint stuck in his hair. I begin to laugh as he stares at me confused.

"You've got paint in your hair!" I go to pick it out when I suddenly see his painting. It has the words Will you be mine painted on a sunset. It's beautiful and I gasp.

"I was trying to be romantic," I hear Near mumble. I jump up squealing surprising him and hugging him tightly.

"Of course I will!"

"Can you be excited without all the jumping?"
