His Possession

Chapter 16 - Sick Day

Your P.O.V

The next morning I was up long before seven. I couldn't seem to sleep properly last night, I kept worrying about this 'Ryuga' guy. When I sat up in bed it was only then I realised, I've been here for over a week now. It was strange to remember Light had kidnapped me. Despite his sudden tantrum yesterday, sometimes he can change and be the sweetest guy on earth, the day he took me just feels like a dream now.

When we got to school, it was no surprise when Ryuga followed us again. I now preferred sitting with only Light, I hated it when Ryuga would ask me questions, I'm scared I would mess up an answer. "I'd like to ask, if I could sit with you two at lunch today, I have a theory to discuss,"Ryuga said. Light told me to agree with whatever he says even though he can't bear him. "Of course you can sit with us,"Light said.

So when lunch time came, he sat with us like he said he would. Light and I knew he was going to talk about something related to Kira, we know he's onto us. I couldn't help but stare and raise an eyebrow at the way he sat down, he'd always hunch his knees up, placing his feet on the chair and resting his hands on his knees. No wonder he had a poor posture when standing up, he tried to sit like that as often as he could in classes too.

"As I said earlier, I have a new theory. I now believe that Kira has a new accomplice,"he said. The word 'accomplice' suddenly rung in my head like a bell, he must know it's us. He was watching us intently, trying to get a reaction out of us. I felt my hands go clammy and my forehead getting unpleasantly hot, I was starting to worry. "So what's your opinion on this?"Ryuga asked now looking at me, putting his thumb to his lip again. I swallowed. "U-Um, I mean...I guess it could be true. Do you...have any reason or evidence?"I said, trying not to stutter. Light held my hand under the table, it was obvious I was slipping.

"Well, not solid evidence no,"he said. I didn't know how to respond to this so it went silent for a moment. After a moment Ryuga took out his daily slice of cake from his bag, signalling us that we can eat now. My hands were shaking slightly as I picked up my sandwich, when I took a bite I immediately felt sick. I had a sip of my apple juice but that just made me feel worse. I clutched my front, now feeling violently sick. "Are you okay (Y/N)?"Ryuga asked me. He wasn't really concerned for me, I knew he was secretly enjoying this, he's caught me out.

Light rubbed my back to soothe me, I felt everything spinning and a panic attack coming. I held my forehead as everything became unreal and mumbled,"I don't feel well." I knew I would likely faint soon. Light got up and steered me to the medical room, steadying me so I wouldn't fall. I was too focused on my breathing and letting this panic attack pass that I didn't realise what I had just done. Ryuga must suspect us even more now. I swallowed. Light will be so mad at me.

But when my vision returned, Light looked rather concerned for me instead. I was in the infirmary lying down on a spare bed. He smoothed my hair back and asked,"Are you okay now?" I grasped for the plastic bowl that was left beside the bed, but no bile came out, I just trembled instead. I lied back down and held my forehead again, still feeling sweaty and embarrassed. I looked around the room first before saying,"I'm so sorry Light, I've ruined everything." He sighed softly. "Don't worry about it, I'll find a way out of this,"Light said. I kept worrying even so.

Light sat on the edge of my bed and talked to me softly, I closed my eyes and relaxed from his comfort. Ten minutes later Ryuga came in to see how I was. "I hope you get better soon,"he said. Light only glared at him until he left. When I was still feeling terrible half an hour later, the school nurse came in and suggested I go home. I looked over at Light for permission and he nodded, taking out some spare keys. This would be the first time in a while to be without him.

The nurse then suggested someone to escort me home, but I didn't feel so dizzy anymore and the walk wasn't far so I insisted I'd be fine. I made it home safely then I collapsed on Light's bed, feeling exhausted. I slept for hours and woke up every now and then to grab a cold glass of water. I didn't remember my dreams for each time I awoke, at least no nightmares had occurred. I haven't had one for years but I keep fearing one would come.

I was startled when Light came back from school hours later, he put his backpack aside and sat next to me. "Feeling any better?"Light asked softly. I nodded but he tucked me in anyway and gently closed my eyelids. I couldn't sleep at first because I was now energised from sleeping most the day, but eventually I dozed off again.

I awoke in the evening when Light brought me dinner, I rubbed my eyes while looking at the time, I fell asleep for a long time. I sat up in bed then made room for Light, he kept the tray of tomato soup on his lap. He held the spoon up to my mouth which confused me. "Light, I feel better now, I can feed myself,"I said. He didn't give me the spoon. "No, I insist,"Light said. I sighed but let him spoon it into my mouth, I felt babyish but he didn't seem to mind. When a bit of soup dribbled down my chin I flushed red, utterly embarrassed but Light just laughed then leaned in and licked it off. I blushed again but laughed too.

                            *  *  *
I'm in complete darkness until I see one ceiling light flicker. Where am I? I walk towards the light until a table suddenly appears in front of me, the death note was sitting on top, it was labelled. Is this an evidence room? I can hear rain making me snap my neck to the left, a window is there. I peek out the window nervously to find Light behind bars. Oh god. Did someone find out? Some guys are letting him out, but, taking him to....execution?! I scream for Light but he can't hear me, everything turns black again. I scream for help but no one is here. I curled up on the floor and held my head, this isn't real. It isn't real. It isn't real.

"(Y/N)! Wake up,"Light said while shaking my shoulders. I was panting and shaking so bad, when I found Light beside me I burst into tears and hugged him hard. Just a nightmare. I'm back in bed with him. Light cradled me in his arms, rocking me back and forth. "Shh, it's okay. Only a bad dream,"he soothed. My sobs eventually died down after he calmed me. I slept in his arms, holding him tighter than before.
