L. Lawliet and Light Yagami. Both geniuses, both lonely in their own separate lives. Lawliet, aka Ryuzaki, lives at Wammy's Orphanage for gifted children with one friend to keep him company. Light is top of his class at Daikoku Private Academy, with "friends" to fill in the spaces but none who really mean anything to him. When Ryuzaki transfers to Daikoku, their worlds collide, not necessarily for the better. But as time goes on, the walls of first impressions break down and new feelings start to stir, first of friendship but maybe of something... more?
