"Useless!" He shouted, following a slap on my face. Tears brimmed in my eyes, but I dared not spill them; that would only make things worse. I'll never sneak out again. It's not worth it, even if I'll never see Ryuzaki again..
My eyes watered even more at the thought. Never seeing the only person who made me feel alive would be unbearable, and I dont know how I would make it without him by my side, though I barely know the guy. I slumped up the stairs in shame and laid on my messy bed. I grabbed a pillow and snuggled against it, substituting for a certain boy as tears fell down my face.
I felt my body being shook by someone, making me turn over in annoyance.
"Five more minutes, please.." I mumbled, hoping for my request to be granted. I heard a low chuckle following my words, making my eyes shoot open in surprise. Was I dreaming? Is this a joke? "Ryuzaki.. why are you here?"
"Call me L from now on," he said, calmingly. My face burned.
"Okay.. L," I grinned. "What are you doing here? How did you get in? Someone will catch you," I said, bombarding him with questions.
"I wanted to see you, Light," he said simply. My smile grew wider at the mention of my name. "What's up with your eye?" He questioned. I panicked.
How do I tell him about my situation? Should tell him at all? How would he react. How do I lie to him? "Are you okay?" He asked, bringing me back into reality.
"Yes.. I uh — I'm okay," I looked to the side in shame, "I just.." he grabbed my sweaty hand and looked me dead in the eye, and the room grew serious.
"Tell me what happened."
"I- you probably don't want to know, L," I warned.
"Please tell me, Light," he pleaded. I couldn't take it anymore. My eyes watered and my hands became clammy.
L embraced me in a huge hug. I began to cry harder, feeling like I could in his arms. Why do I feel so attached to a boy I barely know? I snuggled up to the raven haired boy next to me, down. My eyes closed as I drifted into a deep rest.

He'll tell me when he's ready. I looked at his soft features. He looked so peaceful, a lot more peaceful than before I came. Listen, I'm not a stalker or anything, but when I was opening his window, I observed his state. His body was wrapped around a pillow used as a substitute of comfort, according to my studies on body language, and his eyes were red, indicating recent irritation.
I pulled his fragile body closer to my back. Due to my strange abilities, I can hear the answers to questions as far as 15 meters away, making it easier to tell if someone was getting closer to my location (so I would know if Light's parents were getting closer.) I picked up his small hand and held it close to my heart.
As I was laying there, his hand in mine, I caught something. Something on his wrist. I saw large slashes across his skin. WHAT. Horrified, I checked his other hand, only to see more. Shivers shit up my spine as I delicately placed Light's hands back on the bed as if it were a crime scene at work,
"Oh, love.."
